Try the Mulholland Drive up on Highland past Hollywood Bowl. It’ll take you a while, but it’s a great drive.

 

Go easy on your EVO... Remember, you have 600 miles before you can make it scream. Break it in gently, and it will reward you later.
Another great ride is Las Flores Cannyon, in Malibu. Great turns, deserted and dangerous. Great scenery too.

 

Be careful in that Malibu run during sunset. It can seriously blind you. Had couple of close ones.

 

Thanks!

I wont go crazy til 2000miles.....cuz thats wat ppl do in japan.
Also the clutch needs to break in too.
so I just wana enjoy the ride.

Is there any cops?

 

2000 miles!!??
Ouch, I started to rev a bit more aggressively at 550 miles. I havent driven it super hard, like a fast cannyon run, but have already stretched to 7000RPM a couple times, but not for too long.

 

Waaaaaa......550miles?
too quick.........uhm.......how many miles u have now?
well.....the japanese version has a ball baring turbo..so it is alit more about 3000, so i guess US spec is about 2000m.

 

The user manual says 500-600 miles for the engine to go above 5000 RPM, 200 miles for the brakes to be used hard and 100 miles for the tires. Never saw this 2000 miles break-in period before...
The G35 coupe's 1200 miles, though.

 

thats a f*ck up manuel....cant believe they put that there.....
trust me.....keep it down until 2000.....if u want u car last longer....

I m serious, I m talkin to my boys in Hong Kong and Japan, they have EVo5, 6.5 n 7....they do all the same....

 

Hah... remember, most production engines are broken in already... I say get it going out of the box!!!!

Mt. Palomar is a good run...

 

Topanga isnt bad but you best get a detector for that one. Also dont expect to go fast for to long without running into a grip of slow people. I always see evos in that canyon.

 

Ortega Highway from San Juan Capistrano to Lake Elsinore. As I remember, it is pretty well patrolled, but truly a beautiful drive. The drop-offs are treacherous and unforgiving though, so use good judgement and don't end up like a new kid killing himself on his new sportbike the first day he gets it. The nice thing about the EVO is that you can rail the corners at 7-8/10 and still have fun feeling like you are in a slot car, or driving a gokart without risking life and limb.

Congrats on the new ride!


N10S

 

Two words, Tuna Canyon. It's downhill, one direction and hardy ever has any traffic. It's a true test of ***** and skill!
