JanDaMan Report post Posted June 2, 2015 In deed, maybe this summer sometime. Jandaman, hope to see you around OC, would love to hear the Kreisegg compared to my Capristo. Yeah, the irvine Cars & Coffee would have been fun to take it, but that got shut down. Convenient and close to me. Glad it passed smog no problem. It does have the Capristo exhaust, so maybe prior owner changed to Cap. Button 2 wakes the dead. Although this was my first drive, I need to learn how to drive it properly so I don't wear out the clutch needlessly. Maybe the op manual that came with it explains some, so I will check that out. When coming to a stop light I downshift and then coast it in neutral near the light, then on light change I go to first. In other words I don't keep it in first while waiting for light change, as I thought that may wear the clutch. I could be wrong, but I got the impression that basically any real low speed or low RPM in gear is hard on the clutch. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jagata Report post Posted June 2, 2015 When coming to a stop light I downshift and then coast it in neutral near the light, then on light change I go to first. The e gear can downshift automatically as you slow, and remember when your foot on the brakes if you are at idle with light brake foot pressure the car will go into neutral on it's own.

JanDaMan Report post Posted June 4, 2015 So, what do you think? Give us your review! My review is more like WTF, can't be explained in words much other than that. I have been looking at the Murci for quite some time, and had my mind set on Ithaca Green as it just seems to suit the car so well. Plus I am from Ithaca NY, so of course that color was just meant to be. I only drove the car twice so far, so still getting used to operating it; however it is much easier than I thought from stories I have heard. But the whole experience is beyond my expectations. Need to get more comfortable with the egear, but did pretty well first time for never driven one. I am used to my hard core Panteras with manual shifting, so a couple times I was looking for the clutch when operating the paddles. Lucky I didn't stomp on the CCB when doing so. Only downside for me is the inability to adjust the seat vertically, but I will fix that, plus I wish the front would raise higher. It is so easy to scrape the front. You have to angle the crap out of it, and also take it very very slow when doing so, and we know what that process does to the clutch. The sound from the Cap exhaust is unreal too. First time I downshifted I almost crapped my pants. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
