This sounds good to me.

do you actually know what the **** your talking about?
do you know how an engine works?
learn these things first then open your gutless mind
read the other replys, to see your full of ****
stick to the GDD forum sorry ***!
edit-I dont want to ruin this topic, so PM me if you have something else to say..we could take this on a more personal note

yes, i do know how an engine works
thanks for asking
i agree we shouldnt argue back and forth in here, and arguing back and forth through PM wont do any good either. this is the ******* internet. so until you can figure out how to download my dick slapping you across the face, i suppose there is no point in a verbal confrontation.
but, hey at least you got to sound like a hardass for a second. how's that working out for you?
i dont have the golden answer as far as the break in question is concerned. i only relayed what my service advisor told me, which was to keep it low until the first oil change which is at 7500 miles.
i remeber reading something along those lines, but like i said in my original post,"i think i remember reading" or something to that effect.
i dont recall saying that i was the worlds foremost leading expert on the topic and that my suggested method is written in stone
but what i do remeber is you telling everyone how you get a kick out of driving OTHER PEOPLES CARS in an agressive manner. and i promise you that there is no goddamn way that honda recommends that thier employees drive these cars to redline repeatedly from mile one.
i dont think that i am alone in saying that you should not be able to drive other peoples cars like that.
do you really think that what you are doing is a good idea?
come on now, you can't afford to be that stupid.
as i said, you should take your job more seriously and have more respect for other peoples cars.
and i know this is an internet forum, and grammar often takes the backseat, but goddamn man, there is a difference between the word "your" and the word "you're".
also, i get a kick out of how you got all bent out of shape over me saying that i remeber reading a different break in procedure, and that is all that you commented on, but you didnt even touch the fact that i called you on your shitty work ethics, which i suspect is the real reason you got emotional in the first place.
when i worked at a honda dealership, they kept a close watch on the s2000's to make sure that employess didnt do the very thing that you are describing. at the dealership that i worked at you would have been promoted to customer for something like that, and i am sure that your general manager would agree.
you know what you are doing is wrong, yet you do it and brag about it. its only a matter of time until you wreck or damage one of these cars. why risk it for your own sake, not to mention the future owners?
i like helping people so here is my advice...
act like an adult, take your job seriously, and maybe, just maybe, one day you can get promoted to service manager and you might actually be able to afford one of these cars, and then you can drive it how ever you want to drive it.
and when you get there, i think i remember reading that you should not rev i too high for the first 7500 miles, so keep that in mind.
glad i can help.

Re: (1.6i)
i know more about buillding engines than you think, and you dont even know me well enough to make any assumptions.
and when i said you could damage a car on one of your joyrides i wasnt refering to revving it, i am talking about you ******* it up through some mistake, or worse hitting some other car while driving like an ******* in someone elses car.
riddle me this, would your boss approve of you driving the cars like that?
if you can get in trouble for doing something and you do it anyway for a cheap thrill, you are behaving iressposibly.
you are just getting all pissy because you know i am right.
say all you want about your sterling work ethics, but you are deliberatley doing something that you know is wrong.
can you wrap your mind around this?
they are not your cars. period.
and everyone knows that service advisors are not all they are cracked up to be. but the service advisor in question, is a former honda master technician and has been working on hondas for long enough to give solid advice.
most people involved in the dealership service experience arnt all that knowledgable.
most serious enthusiasts know more than the mechanics working on thier car.
and also, you have no insight to my work ethics so how can you assume that your are better, worse or equal to my own. however from my perspective, i can see that you are not too concerned with doing things that are against the rules.
bragging about stuff like this is a sign of immaturity.
dont get me wrong, i screw around as much as the next guy. but not at work and not with other peoples property
i am done with this. you know that you shouldnt drive like that in someone elses car.
when you turn 30 and you are still only making 16 bucks an hour, maybe then you will see what i am talking about

Considering it's a full inspection of the vehicle, we have to MAKE SURE the vehicle is working from exhaust tip to radiator..meaning we have to try everything out..sayin so..straight from honda: PDI Inspection List- "Test vehicles overall engine performance"-American Honda motor company
I never said i was abusing the vehicle, I did make the assumption that i do, but really I dont...Taking the vehicle to under a bit under redline is testing the engines overall performance, I dont shift hard or try to ruin the clutch at all, A vtec run from 0rpm-8000rpm in first gear is about 35MPH the legal speed limit on this street...What if we didnt do this, and in fact something was wrong with engine..we could diagnose and fix the problem before someone actually buys the vehicle! But, If it's built to Honda specs, Nothing will happen.. Get it? know it all!

And this...
...this is exactly why when we bought ours, i requested it have ZERO miles on it...and when we got there, it did, they had cranked it, driven the car from where the truck dropped it off in the rear gated area and put it next to the doors...zero miles...no offense, but these are cars people are paying good money for, not little toys or something, and when you take these people's cars out that they want to break in, be the first to do various things to it, you kinda ruin that when you decided you want to be cool and stuff and run them up like that...in the future if i get a new car i will never buy anything with more than ZERO miles on the odometer, just a personal preference so i know some guy didnt run my car up like your explaining above...they told us at first that they had to have them inspected off the truck, but if you request it, they will NOT drive your new car, as they didnt with ours.</TD></TR></TABLE> so you picked your car up right when it got off of the asembly line with zero miles? not even tested yet thats rare...

and everyone knows that service advisors are not all they are cracked up to be. but the service advisor in question, is a former honda master technician and has been working on hondas for long enough to give solid advice.
most serious enthusiasts know more than the mechanics working on thier car.
</TD></TR></TABLE> damn i smell bullshit here. if the so called enthusiasts you talk about know more than the techs working on thier car why are they having someone else do the work for them? if you dont like anyone else driving your car do the work yourself and stop crying.. as for your comment anyone can say "im a HONDA MASTER TECH" we all know your a service writer/wannabe tech

Re: (Y2K_S2K)
Back on topic...just hit it at 600, work up slowly by 1000 rpm every 100 miles? Wait longer?
Is there anything to be gained by any of these strategies over the others?
If tis better to wait longer, I'll wait longer, if its not...my right foot is itching at 163.4 miles already.

Requested zero miles when we ordered ours, were there the day it was taken off the truck car was pushed into the detail bay to have the protective plastic taken off of it, it was shined up and then driven over to the door where we picked it up...i have a picture of it in case you were doubting it...all it takes is a request when you order the car and you get it untouched. That is odometer reading FYI, so whatever is done to the car before the odometer starts reading mileage, i dont have a clue, but when we sat down in it, the gauge cluster read "000000" miles...

Re: (hypnosisracing)
I have bought two cars brand new and when I ordered my RSX-S I got it off the truck with 7 miles on it. I also bought an Element new and I bought it off the lot with 13 miles on it, but I doubt anyone would have a reason to hotrod the element in those 13 miles.

so whats the point of you receiving your vehicle with zero miles? Is the car gonna last longer when compared to an S2000 with 7 miles? I don't get it, please explain.

your rings are broken in already, the only thing i wouldnt do is shift hard, you could glaze the clutch and ruin it, Dont baby the clutch too much though, let it out kinda hard at times to ensure a good break in of the P/P and disc....You could however rev the engine to 8K with no problems..
Here, listen to this guy he's on the right track VVV VVV
