does anybody know the break in time for a BRAND new 2007 si motor??? around how many miles?
and does anybody know where i can get jdm yellow fog lights for the 07 coupe the cheapest? i just bought the car 24 hours ago and need a little info from wherever i can get it.... thanks!

 

Youre going to get a bunch of different opinions about the break-in process... some will say its fine right off the bat, others will tell you to keep it under 5k RPM for the first 500-5000 miles... personally i took it FAIRLY easy for the first few hundred miles... pretty much anyone who buys a new si is going to redline it within the first few hundred miles and if your car has been test driven you can almost guarantee its been driven pretty hard. My advice would be to drive it fairly civilized with the occasional redline for the first 5k miles... leave the factory oil for that ENTIRE time... its Honda's break-in oil so leaving it in as long as possible is key. After your first oil change you're pretty much free to drive it however you want.

Fogs ebay.com and i think passwordjdm.com...

test drove a four door yesterday. 7 miles on the car. had it touching the line a good 11-12 times. im not buying that one..

 

I red lined mine with only 15 miles on it cars runs strong plus i am getting 27mpg with vtec i would say i broke it in nice.

But i wouldn't want to buy 1 that was test driven that way =/

 

The manual says to go easy on the motor and brakes for the first 600 miles.

Everybody has a different idea of how long it should be. Some go WOT off the lot and others baby it well...forever.

I kept it under 4K for the first 600 miles, then under 5K until I went over a 1000 miles. No real reason for the latter, I just felt like it.

 

i broke mine in until 600 miles; nothing above 4,000rpms. after the 600 miles, ***** to the walls.

Do those fogs from password JDM actually work on an 07 because I bought some off of ebay that are for 06+ but they won't work on an 07 because they wire differently.

 

? I was hitting vtec off the lot. lol

no 06 fogs will not work for 07. you need 07 fogs for 07 si.
