500 mile maint
 
Anyone know offhand, what's recommended in the 500 mile maintenance and if there's anything BDR specific that requires a BDR dealer to complete?

Thanks

You need to mainly have an 'integrity check' made on your car: check for leaks, loose nuts/bolts, anything unusual, etc. Since I am on the left coast and my builder is in CT, I took my car to a mechanic who is a hot rodder and owner of a highly regarded repair shop. He let me watch him as he went over my car while it was on the lift. He was impressed at how tight and neat everything was. The only thing flagged was the possibility of a small leak out of the gas tank level sensor. So, if you can't take your car to CT, try to find a guy who is into hot rods.

Great to hear. This one is also from CT :)
I do my own maint on my other cars and deciding if I do this one or not. I have a BDR dealer 30 min away in NJ... I'll likely take it there if it includes reviewing the entire car and snugging stuff up.
Thanks,
