Hello everyone! I've been a member and lurking around since Aug of 2019. Have enjoyed all the threads over the past 8 months and have learned quite a lot about the C14 as well as the regular posters on the forum. I don't think i will ever be as active as "Uncle Vern" but one never knows!
So I've got a 2017 purchased new in Nov of 2018 with -0- miles. It went straight from a trailer into my garage as it snowed 10" the day after it arrived. I finally got to ride it in June of 2019. Since i had been on this site before I joined I had reviewed the threads about breaking new engines and i went with MOTOMAN'S METHOD, other wise seemly know as the "ride it like you stole it" method. I'm hoping this was not a huge mistake.
So far I've added a few babels from PROJECT D and i just ordered Pod-Perchs from Peter Linquist.
Next up is an ECU flash from Steve, however I do have a question about that which is......What effect, if any, does having the ECU flashed have on the factory warranty if there is a problem with the engine? Would it depend on what the problem was? eating a valve, broken crank, defective oil pump, etc. Years ago I owned a Buick Grand National and had a "special" chip in it and when I had it serviced at the dealer under the extended warranty i would simply put the factory chip back in the car.
By the way, I sure am sorry the National Rally had to be cancelled. I had made my reservation with the Heathman Lodge for 6/7 days and was really looking forward to meeting everyone.
Thanks to Uncle Vern for asking if the mirrors were adjustable. Mine are so stiff I was afraid to try to move them thinking I would break them and i could not find any reference to them in the owners book
And yes, it snowed today. About 3 inches, with more forecast for tomorrow and the rest of the week. Spring comes late when you live at 7,000 feet. Best to all.
