Dude I hate to say it, but at 20,234 miles your car is going to self destruct...

The motor will implode and your tranny will fire out the rear end, all hell is going to break loose.

OK, maybe that would happen in the Fast and the Furious, in our world you really don't have to worry. I have spoken with several top Honda techs who say drive the car the way you want from the time you get it, on my first S2000 I did just that. 36,000 miles later it had ZERO problems, I actually just traded it in for a 2004 and it became tied with my 2000 Civic Si for the most reliable car I have ever had.

I have a friend that use to build engines in a machine shop and I had 3 custom built

dont take to the race track and start doing 1/4 runs...
best if you keep the rpm varied up and down, dont cruse at 4500
for a hour on the freeway....1000.....6500... little by little
by 2000 miles keep raising the max rpm to redline

wait for a few thousand miles for the track....
you are trying to wear in the engine by seating all the parts
