Wait your doing a full 1200 mile break-in, yet you already put the exhaust on which will change how the car behaves by the ecu. So doesn't that technically negate bothering going through the rest of the break-in period? Im asking because i believe if your gonna follow the guidelines you should follow them, and visa-versa...

Just wondering what your view are on this. Not trying to bash just curious. Some people do things one way and others do it another.

I look at this period as a break-in for the motor internals specifically the piston rings. Putting the exhaust on will change the A/F slightly but that is more of a tuning thing and shouldn't affect the internals that much. I have not had the car of 4K rpm which causes more stress on the motor and internals.

Finally got my tires.

ClemsonWill · 10-20-2010, 10:28 AM

My 600th post. Tires will be getting mounted tomorrow. Hopefully!

almost there.............

stay on target

ClemsonWill · 10-21-2010, 08:52 AM

I'm trying but life just seems to get in the way.

Taking them to get mounted today. As you can tell I'm very excited.

On a side note. Lizzy finally hit 1200 miles. I had to capture her first time over 4k rpm.

Why did you wait unti 1200 miles to go above 4k rpm??? im about to order a fast intentions exhaust. Do i need to put 1200 miles on it before i go above 4 grand?

First 1200 miles is the break in period for the motor. It's what the factory recommends. People have their different opinions on it. But I have broken in every new car I have owned according to the manual and I have never had any major engine trouble.
