Default Re: M113K Into a Crossfire - Journal
Ok! Buttoned everything up this morning, finished a few side projects, put the bumper back on. It was time for a test ride!

Drove a few miles barely breathing on the accelerator, followed by some 3-4 second bursts of WOT. WOW!

Downshifts at WOT are nearly violent (yes!), and the car lurches forward, but so smoothly at the same time. Very controllable so far.

Drove about 15 miles, and made.aure thing we're doing OK, tried slightly longer bursts from 45-50 mph for 5-6 seconds. Car felt great!

Decided to try out 'W' mode on the shifter, and yes, shifts were smoother. Went WOT, all was good, until I let off. Engine returned to idle, and stepping on the accelerator gave a free rev to 5k. Uh oh. Autostick would not come out of D.

Slowed down to nearly a stop, and could feel the transmission reengage. Drove perfectly normally, and Autostick function also returned. Do not know what the story is there. Going to put it on the Xentry here in a bit. No CELs.

So far, a much better start than the last go around.

Oh, and A/C blew cold, engine temp was right down the middle, and cruise control worked perfectly.








Going to tidy up a few things, and give the car a bath, and will post more. Will be immediately onto the next project - SLK55 seats.
