You should be good to go... The manual says 600 before VTEC... Some people wait 1000 before going all out on it. I read your other thread too - welcome to the group

How'd you get 1500 miles on the car if you've been "braking" since you've had it? I don't see how you'd move if you were on the brakes the whole time...

Don't take it personally. It's all in fun around here. Well... most of the time. You should be good to go for the break-in. Check out the FAQs and such in the 'Under The Hood' section of the forums sometime. There's a WEALTH of information there.

1500 is more than good. i babied it from 4-600 miles, and it sucked, but once 600 rolled over, it payed itself off.
