Yeah, its always a good idea to just ignore the instructions of the people who designed it. What the hell, they are just some of the world's best engine designers. I'm sure you know better.

But, what the hell, it's your shit. Bust it up if you want to.

 

troll, you post EVERYWHERE why don't you read first then post later.

 

im pretty sure the people that designed it aren't the ones that wrote the manual.

they do bench test motors while they're at the factory too. revving them throughout the revrange to make sure they're running as they should.

but we both have our views and opinions, take them as my .02cents and nothing else...cuz after all, it is my shit

 

What are the odds that the thousands of new S2000 owners each year never got around to asking this one?







Exactly, now use the search function before you ask how to open the gas tank.

 

I hit VTEC as soon as I pulled off the lot. Just drive the car the way you plan on driving it!

 

this is the way I would do it... drive it no more than 3000 rpm until 1000 miles, then increase 1000 rpm every 200 miles until you reach 2000 miles, at which point you go all the way to redline.

The following two posts are the same advice but one is different:
Both professes to ignore the recommendations in the owner's manual. The first one makes this disclaimer: "cuz after all, it is my shit"

The second one does not but only states this: Just drive the car the way you plan on driving it!

It is one thing to treat your own vehicle as you please. It's a whole other thing to go out and actually tell others to do something that goes against the recommendations of those who built the car and more importantly, those who HOLD THE WARRANTY ON THAT CAR. If you tell someone to go against the "book" and they go out and drive the crap out of the car right from the dealership, then end up damaging something and has the repair DENIED because the dealer finds out that the "book" was not followed, it's no skin off your teeth. You make a public decree to go against the "book", which some impressionable individual will take to heart and has the misfortune of NOT being as lucky as you to have a car that didn't break, he'd feel pretty cheated, wouldn't he?
Sure, you can, on your very own free will, without influence or coersion from another person, do whatever you want with your car and if something should go wrong, you have noone to blame but yourself.
People have been known to break these cars. If you were the owner of one of these cars, what would go through your mind had you been one who took the advice of someone on the internet preaching to ignore the "book"? You might ask yourself, "Why did I do that? Maybe I should have done what the owner's manual said."
