I.. I don't compute

Maybe it's because I do not speak Rice Cooker?

That was a surreal song....like some kind of demented it's a small world.

Well... a joke kind of loses its punch if needs to be spelled out, but that was a reference to @MmmHamSandwich's post plus me contemplating the concept of a car being "broken into" at the factory

So that's how they change spark plugs! And I thought it would be complicated...

He said that every STi/WRX/Evo (and Most likely BRZ/FRS) is ran to about 6 Grand easily just for shits and giggles...and there is NO warming the car up either. Keys in the cars, get it in and Go. He was saying that when you buy a car and it has 3-10 miles on the odo?? My buddy said it was most likely the hardest 3-10 miles your car will ever see!! HA!!

Why should they be allowed to abuse the cars like that?[If they do?]
These are brand new cars with stone cold engines that you can bet weren't abused at the Japanese end of the journey. The US has got plenty of people looking for jobs, especially non skilled numbers like this.
Just sack the bastards. They deserve more than that for abusing other people's property that they are being paid to look after.

Thanks, cool video.

Also, I think he went over 4,000 rpm's there........

Really now? How can you be so misinformed on something like this. Its common sense that they do that at the factory. Going over 4,000 RPM's is just a guideline so idiots dont fuck it up if they dont know what they are doing.

Putting the engine together with assembly grease, then having some punks thrash your car for 3-5 miles does not a break in make.

Probably didnt even bother going through the thread to learn something and uses the search function. If I remember correctly multiple people who are respected on this forum even reported the same thing.


And really now? Like I said this is all over the forums. It suprises me how dumb people can be. Its common/known knowledge that car are pre broken in before they are shipped out. Do you think they arent going to do that for quality control purposes? Break in procedures are their for the owner to make sure they dont do anything stupid. If anything does happen to the car it would be 100x easier for them to say that you didnt correctly break it in and blame you for that. It is for lawyers, they go over the drivers manuals and send it back to the company telling them to put this and that in the book. You really think they are going to put for you to drive it like you stole it for the first thousand miles? Also You really think they are going to release a video of a worker assembling a car red lining it for shits and giggles? If they check the ECU when you bring it in for say a CEL problem like so many owners on these forums and it says you red lined the shit out of it they have a reason to say that your warranty is no good. You think they are going to repair the motor for you when you fuck it up because you didnt listen?

A lot of shops who have BR-Zs never followed that easy break in procedure you dont see them reporting anything do you? You actually see them reporting they broke that shit in hard as fuck. Launching it, doing all sorts of things you might think is hazardous for the vehicle but unlike you and other people who are misinformed they know that cars are pre broken in before they leave the factory. Their is a difference between breaking it in hard and being an idiot. If you cant figure that out then I dont know what to tell you. Just because someone says it can be broken in hard doesnt mean for you to red line it 100 x a day. It is to protect ANY car companys asses when say a person who doesnt know better wraps their car around a tree and then to blame it on a faulty part. The lawyers can instantly say you didnt follow break in procedure if they check how you drove it in the ECU. Since you seem to be such an expert with the manual I am sure you know about the function that records your driving habits too in the ECU or car.

If you are so lazy you cant search google your self for a reference link and have to argue with people who knows this is common knowledge. Then dont do it and look for it your self you lazy bastard. It took me 2 seconds to find it on google. So instead of trying to look like a smart ass and making your self look dumb in the process why dont you give it a try and report back to us what you find. Instead of telling people who are much more informed on the topic then you what we should know. It is your choice to not listen to the 100s of people who know and shared that information with everyone. If you dont want to listen go figure it out your self cause we arent going to baby you around and look for a reference link for you when it can be done in 2 seconds.

All first model/year cars are like this. You tell me a production car that hasnt had its share of problems in first year cars. Nearly every single one that is affordable for the common person has their problems.

If they didnt break it in before hand then I guess everyones cars coming off the ships at the ports will be fucked but you dont see any cars blowing an engine because of that. .

The video is actually embedded, there's not a link per se. I'm guessing the problem might be with the browser(s) you're using. Try a different browser or try this:

I agree!! I spend the first 1,000 miles of every new car I buy, keeping an eye on everything...nuts and bolts, fluids, and performance. Then you hear about this and it's a swift kick to the nuts. However, you must take into consideration the cost of a vessel in dock...the manufacturers are charged an insane amount of money by the Terminals the moment they dock to the moment the pull away, they are being charged. So for Subaru or Toyota...the idea is to unload as fast as possible. I guess the percentage of possible failures/warranty issues due to this driving practice must be negligible in comparison?? Either way...I agree is doesn't make it right?
