1000+ miles

The one thing I want to say regards the "break in period".

"Oh look. I just hit 1000 miles. Now I can rev my car." Honestly that sounds kind of stupid since every engine is a little different. It's also a way of reducing the chances of something going wrong in the early stages which is somewhat a scapegoat.

I try to downshift as much as i can too. I've noticed my BRZ got alot louder once i broke it in.

I noticed it yesterday. My FR-S got louder too. And this is a good kind of loud.

BTW, I redlined shortly after leaving the lot.

i started redlining after 400... I have no problems beside a weird burning smell which went away from changing oil and messing with the exhaust. "Knock on wood"
Now its perfect

That burning spell is the manufacturing oils that were burning off. Nothing wrong there.
