I have my valves pinned open with the collars and it’s perfect.

IMO its 97% perfect.
The tumbler sits like I want it to in the cup holder, but then it will tilt a few degrees do to the top > bottom taper - ideally a tapered tumbler from bottom > top would offer the tightest fit.

This tumbler has a nice silicone bottom protector which I didnt realize when I ordered - its a bonus!

I might buy this item. I have a Swell Sip 15oz, and it fits perfectly, though its too tall at 10" - this item will sit exactly the same at a lower height:

I've heard great things of these tires. I was considering them for my s2000 before I sold it - had RE71R's on that before which I loved too but heard these are even better.

You can actually see the break in happening in almost real time. After that... oil change and off to the races, with very high compression and minimal oil consumption (on engines that spin to 9,500RPM).

I was very hesitant NOT to drive the GT4 as hard as possible during the first 500 miles because a soft break in is counter to everything I have experienced before.
When I was building time as a pilot, the mechanics would have us go out and fly the airplanes that just had a new or rebuilt engine installed. They needed to get a certain amount of time on the engine(I think it was 10 hours) AT FULL THROTTLE. Coincidently Aircooled flat 6 engines. It was always a little never wracking flying at full throttle with all of the noise. Obviously the throttle had to come back for approach and landing.

I brought a Foxwell NT726 OBDII scanner on amazon for my GT4
(
Amazon Amazon
).
I can verify that it read my GT4 VIN automatically, completed diagnostic, ABS brake service, electric parking brake service and resetting of the oil maintenance interval. This scanner has a lifetime SW update with it (one of the main reason that I decided on this one, lifetime update with ABS service). The usage was intuitive and I upgraded the SW before connecting to my GT4

Getting excited for the Euro Delivery! Got matching gloves for the Spyder. Ostentatious? Unnecessary? Yup. But I love them! Amazing craftsmanship by Cafe Leather. Even the packaging is beautiful. They make a slew of other petrolhead products as well.

And it helps me mitigate the wear and tear to the steering wheel from my sweaty hands…

Not that I can find. They make professional scanners that can do that, but you give up the lifetime update; you will need to pay for updates. I prioritize on having more maintenance items and free updates over reading all vehicle information.

Amazing! Did you buy them directly online from Spain? If not, can we order here in the States?

I ordered directly. They have a 20% off promo right now with code PADRE23. Worth a look!

With the price of even lettuce these days, I’m afraid to ask 😅
