I know exactly what you mean. I'm about 50 miles shy of 600 on mine. I feel the same way, it's too nice of a car to abuse. I've been driving like a grandma for the last few weeks, nothing over 70MPH, shifts below 3.5K, all shifts prior to getting the car nice and warm are below 2K. Like krees said "Let'er rip!!" I'll do the same from time to time when the opportunity presents itself. Stay safe and enjoy!Turned 600 miles this week! Now I can launch it and floor it...not! Too nice of a car to abuse, but I will drive it in a more "spirited" manner.
dang!!!!!! well done my friend. I'm assuming it was as well. 500 miles i just drive it like how I drive everyday, however, avoided very high rpm shifts.
yeah I'd like to know where Honda says the type r requires a break in period. These motors get tested and broken in extensively @ the Ohio plant before shipping out to swindon.
really? I haven't read the manual yet but that's interesting. I've driven it like I stole it since I bought it lol..it says somewhere along the lines of like take it easy for the first 700 miles or something like that in the owners manual iirc.
i personally just drove the car like how i'd drive it moment it went off the lot
yeah i never really "break in" a car i buy. I just buy it and drive it like how i would.
same here, I did a break in when I had the motor built in my old Si...followed prl's recommendations. other than that I see no need...only car I can think of that's mass produced that actually have a break in built into the ecu that limits rpms is the vette...
10k miles, 12+ autoX events, and 130+ drag passes on it later it still pulls just as hard as it did the day I bought it with no smoke out the back, no oil burning issues, funny noises or mechanical issues. I honestly believe the “600 mile break in” is to break in the clutch and bed the brake pads in more than breaking in the motor. I’m sure the boys at the UK plant and the docks did the break in for us before it even got to the dealership lol.
yeah. It's actually cool how they do it too by increasing the rpm limit the more you drive.
yeah i also believe it's more for the brake pads and stuff especially when they mention don't do any hard stops along with the 600 miles.Mines saw full boost at 21 miles.
there's a dude I follow on insta his name is stig_ctr I think that's tracked his car right off the dealer lot and had 10k+ miles no problems.Mines saw full boost at 21 miles.
