Enjoyable to hear your running in procedure, a friendly dealer you must have then. Mine was quite proud to ask me where i had managed to get the MY03 ppp Wagon up to 125 in front of a load of other customers, but hay ho, of course it's on a private test track. Personally i hate them seeing the date in the brain, hope that you clear yours before the 1000 service as i was instructed to keep it below 4k or i would invalidate the warranty !!
P.s the pirellis lasted 4800 miles, and they were poor, no wet weather grip and plenty of understeer, F1's have pretty much cured this.

If they bother to try and trace peak values on an oil service I will be very suprised
I`ll just plug my SECS monitor in then and re-set the ECU

I seriously doubt wether your P1 would be on a par with an MR340 though for the simple reason that it weighs nearly 100 KGS less than a WR1 and if you take the dyno figures in 5th gear in to account is 14BHP up in the power stakes as well.

Mind you I've had mine remapped by Bob Rawle since - so would be nice to try the same test again...
And in a recent trackday, I was pursuing an EVO VIII FQ300 and was catching in on the straight (well it's not very straight) at Castle Combe.. Now that was good..
