Thanks to all for their opinions. This is just the way I drive. Resale and increasing its longevity is never a thought.

Anyone else drive their BRZ hard?

The theory behind the hard break in to me makes a lot of since. When I rebuilt my engine I broke it in hard. I decided to never wash my exhaust tips and see how long they go before getting dirty. I have about 12k on it since the rebuild and still haven’t cleaned the tips. |

Just starting? This debate is not new by any stretch. It has been going on since the first cars rolled off the lines. Both methods have their good and bad points.

Of course it has. But 50 years ago technology and knowledge was totally different. I don't think anyone will ever take the time to do enough research to prove anything.

I'm not an expert about this; however I think the building process of an internal combustion engine has not changed a lot in 50 years.

Nope but manufacturing processes and tolerances have. The theory behind the easy break in was that you need to baby it while the imperfections in the manufacturing process wear down. The theory behind the hard break in is that you want to build enough cylinder pressure to push the rings against the cross hatching on the cylinder walls before they wear away. The cross hatch pattern is there to basically grind the rings into the shape of the cylinder walls. The hard break in technique prescribes that you load it up hard within the first 25 miles but not rev it past 75% of the rev band. If you read BMW and Porsche’s break in suggestions they basically prescribe the hard break in. I personally believe stronger in the hard break in but I see good points on both sides.
