I've picked up my car, and now I've got to wait for the 300 mile break-in.

Congrats on the new mod, when I first joined S2ki.com, I asked what would be the most cost-effective mod for the S2000 and I was surprised to hear how many agreed upon 4.44 gears.

I've done some reading on the results you'll be having with the .44 gears and it appears to be very well suited for HRP, not to forget the mechanical advantage you'll have at accelerating in the lower gears which will improve drivability on the streets too.
When the break-in period is over with, I'd like another chance to sample the difference.

Hey Curry
Break them in for at least 600miles then do a full fluid changeout...then change it again at about 1500...at least thats my opinion. I had to break mine in on flat ground...you've got mtns

i'll bet you can feel the difference allready...tempting isn't it....

Thanks for the suggestions. I talked to the guy who installed the gears today, and he said to take it easy for the first 1000 miles!!
First he said don't go over 55 mph, and then said not to go over 4,500 rpms
It's soooo tempting. You're right, you can feel the difference even before VTEC

This mod is DEFINITELY worth it, and I haven't even driven it hard yet.

Wow, are you going to be able to get to 1000 miles before the next autox?

My services are available at any time when proper "break in" mileage is required.
