Hey guys, glad to be a new member of the best forum ever. I just picked her up the weekend before last. Went out of state and got a great deal ($6,000 under sticker) on a new leftover 2017 Magnetic Metallic with Recaros, Sunroof and Navigation. Took a week for me to get the dealer to budge but the wait was worth it.
The first thing I did when I got home at my friend's recommendation was give it a nice two step wax with the Klasse products. Looks like a gray mirror even though I missed a couple buff spots I later found out!
I'm love the car so far. I'm 5'9" and 210 lbs so the seats were snug but I'm starting to get used to them and they're starting to get used to me.
I have 750 miles on the clock and have been taking it easy. Just changed the oil at 500 miles using a 910s filter and Motorcraft Semi-Syn 5w-20 oil. I also installed a Damond OCC too last night.
[MENTION]ron@woosh[/MENTION] hooked me up with a nice mod package. I have a Cobb AP, Woosh FMIC/Hot Side Pipe, Woosh Intake Tube/Crossover/Evap Purge, Revo Foam Filter, Velossa Big Mouth, Woosh Catted DP and a CravenSpeed Stubby Antenna ordered and on their way to me! Can't beat the customer service and pricing with Ron. Absolutely my new drug I mean mod dealer!
As far as exhaust I have my eye one the CP-E and Cobb. Going to do that last. For now I'm considering the resonator delete for a little grumble. I rent an apartment so I can't have the catless straight pipes I had on my MS3 back then.
Springs I'm between Eibach and Swift. Eibachs I trust and the Swifts look good but I read they were designed the older suspension not the 2017 suspension... More to come on that decision.
Wheels eventually I think I'm going to with the Rota Titans. They look so awesome on the cars I see here on the forum.
I'm really happy this community is overall a positive place and everyone is pretty cool. Back in 2012 I was involved in another community and I'll say it was just a little lacking.
With this very little pocket rocket I'm looking forward to modding, a very enjoyable commute (coming from a Chevy Volt) with many a twisty on the weekend and eventually surprising some unsuspecting adversaries on the carriageway. Lol.
