My Evo X FQ360

Finally picked up my black beasty this morning

And I ****ing hate it!
Not the car the bloody running in procedure
3500rpm for the first 250miles is an absolute ball ache. I have to get it straight out of 1st as soon as Im moving and then have to watch the rev counter more than I do the road. This car is aching to be let off its leash. I had a bloody white van behind me on the way home looking puzzled at why i was driving so slowly and creeping past tractors

First impressions are brilliant though. Feels even bigger than when I drove it at Prodrive but very light and accurate steering and a responsive even under 3000rpm. I can hear the turbo starting to spool and sound tasty and then I have to lift off the throttle! Its so frustrating. It feels like Ive been trying to date a hot bird for months and when she finally agrees I find out she has a chastity belt on until I pass some more tests. Patience is not on of my strengths. Roll on 1000miles so I can Unleash Hell

Will get some pics up tomorrow once TSL have put the new wheels on

After seeing this car in person, and seeing one perform on the track, I want one. Not badly enough to sell my IX, but in conjunction to it? FOR SURE.

Many kudos to you for picking up one hell of an awesome car/chasis, sir!

The car is broken in within the first few miles and heat cycles. Break it in like you intend to drive it!

Break in procedure = worthless imo, I was redlining it all the way out of the dealership.
