Second, following manufacturer break in is recommended as you would have to polish out the gearings and what not. Also being able to shift through all the gears at different speeds allows the car to break in properly.
However, to each their own. There really is no right way to break it in per se. Do what you want!
I have the Subaru Gold Plus warranty as I didn't want to take any chances, so maybe you're on the same boat with that one.
I paid around $900 for mine.
Otherwise, welcome and enjoy!

I got the white Series.Blue, something about the black and white contrast is simply amazing!
I suppose *sigh* I will follow the break in.
I think I will go with the warranty, what was the term/mileage of your warranty?

Follow at least 1k miles of not going past 5-6k rpms if you can help it, and vary the RPMs quite a bit. Don't worry about techniques to seat the seals- they do that at the factory and loading dock now  . The clutch will especially be sensitive to break-in and can run a risk of glazing if not taken lightly for the first 500 miles or so. The transmission and rest of the drive-train will smooth out over a longer period of time- around 10-20k miles.
Warranty:
We need more info. Do you plan to modify the drivetrain significantly (FI, N/A tune, extreme suspension setups)? If so, then don't worry about the warranty. Market research shows those plans pay out at a disparately low rate across most people.
If you aren't going to modify the car's drivetrain heavily, then go for it. Not a bad price for an extended.
And best place to buy stuff is all over the internet. FT86Speedfactory, DSG, Corner3Garage, Ebay, fteightysix, diodedynamics, HID Powerhouse, all have different deals and whatnot, but most will float around the same price. japanparts.com for the import stuff.
Have fun man, again, welcome |
Thank you for the elaborate break-in period advice, I appreciate it and will follow it!
As for the warranty, I do not believe I will be making heavy modifications to the car. The only things that I can imagine myself doing is eventually putting maybe an intake on it, potentially a tune (probably not), coilovers(?) to lower it an inch, and that would be about it. I'm not exactly a "car" guy when it comes to building them, but I love researching, driving, and enjoying cars!
Okay, I'll just search around and see what are some of the best prices and see if they are reputable dealers then!
Thank you!
