Ah well at least you can get through break-in with ****e tires!

My RS arrived with the same tires and I too was equally upset, as I am a Michelin buyer as often as possible.

The Pirelli's are very good tires and you will like them as well. Yes, I too will replace with Michelin's, but in time vs. today.

Crazy but great, picked up my RS yesterday and it had Pirelli folder in glove box but Michelin's on the Car. Still have not seen a green one in the flesh. Looks great in pictures.

What is your options list? It looks like you kept it pretty bare; at least no leather or Nav. I like the center console, that is a good touch.

I like the huge red tag on the shifter...what does it say? "If you sit on this....it is going to hurt"...

Heheh ok only after a 24 probation period is over with. First time I got in her I turned the key and then started fiddling the PCM menu to go to the "boost gauge"- Moron!

I got some nice pix tonight with her naked and I'll post them tomorrow...

Actually I already modded her and added 5hp, the silver hood crest, side markers and SW license plate

Will those Corsa's be touching a track anytime soon?

Thanks MJB, I got some good ones this evening and I'll pop them up. She looks a lot better uncovered. The 3.8L GT800 is very gnarly (740AWHP) but it's never going to see the track like the NA RS will. I'll break her in on the Corsas by which time she'll be ready for the track (even if I ***** foot around it).

Thanks 340Elise... Options list is PCCBs, Xenons, Green Center console, Green painted washer light thingies and something else (pedal?) that I can't remember.... Not keen on the clock thingy and we just decided to keep her fairly simple.
