What's the recommended break-in? 600 miles? Under what RPM? Under 75mph?

Thanks,

Tim

 

Under 6K rpms for the first 600 mi.
Should be in your User's Manual.

RTFM

 

It's in the owner's manual. It's definitely 600 miles and no VTEC.

 

Tim, welcome to the board and you guys got a great car!

See this thread https://www.s2ki.com/forums/showthread.php?...&threadid=41967 for us S2K folks heading out to Summit Point for high performance driver educational events. Its $175 dollars, and this is what I recommend to spend on this car first.

 

Oh and wait for the official mileage for the first oil change. Honda uses a special oil to help the engine break in properly.

 

Thanks. I've been to Summit 7 times in my 99 Impreza RS, and I KNOW what you mean about it really helping learn what the car can do. I am TRYING to talk Melissa into taking a class, but she's too scared, which is a sin if you own this car......so I guess I'LL just have to take the S2K to the track. Don't worry....if we keep the car, you'll see me there.

 

Really? So wait until the first 7500 mile oil change?

 

Hard driving do it earlier... Manual says 3250 I think.

Honda chastised me

 

dude... my bro's 02 M3 is going to be here around march or april too... when he get it we could all go out with 02 s2k and 02 M3 together... what color is your s2k and M3??? i got spa yellow and my bro is getting a laguna seca blue... but i am telling my bro he should wait for the 03 M3... do you know if they are coming with anyting new with the 03 m3???

 

Best "beater" one could wish for...

and welcome...
