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!!

Have you read The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy recently? LOL sounds like something straight outta that book!

Now that you mention it, it seems probably based on those robots' cheerful and sunny dispositions that they could have been programmed by the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation.

I am so happy to bring this drivetrain to you! I just can't wait to go back to the receiving area and get the next one! Whoops, I seem to have accidentally disemboweled you with my robotic arm. Have a nice day!

cars are pre-broken in.. new cars dont need to be anymore except for the transmission and clutch.

awesome vid though, and I can totally see those japanese using some ice cream truck chime rather than an obnoxious beeping. I wonder which would drive you insane first!

Yup. It's like this for just about every car made these days. Motorcycles too. I have a little chuckle when I see these break in threads pop up.

ditto. I've heard it said that the break in for modern cars is really for the owner - so they don't get carried away and wrap their new car around a tree :P

Could you please cite some reference for this, rather than giving out bogus and potentially engine damaging misinformation? I seem to recall my owners manual still having a break in procedure. Putting the engine together with assembly grease, then having some punks thrash your car for 3-5 miles does not a break in make.

I did search. I did quote an image FROM the manual. I don't get what you're trying to say by linking to a thread that's just argument & conjecture (especially the mototune break in procedure, good god).

You wanted the reference link so I gave you a reference link lol

In there is the proper break-in procedure vs what the other member said that they were "already pre-broken into"
