Several people from Honda told me not to go over 4K RPMs until i reach 2K miles I in no means want to dog the car but is this THE way to break it in??

 

Yes, Honda knows there stuff


I waited till I hit 1500, then I couldnt resist seeing what was past 6k, I sometimes heard the switch over and was like..... ooooooooo whats that Honda? could it be v-tak roar? ha ha

whatever the manual says...do it.

 

600 easy miles, but open vtec.

after that, handle it

 

Drive it like you rented it.

 

Does VTEC kick in at 5500??

 

5800

 

I did a hard break in and my car is running like a champ at 37,000 miles

Best way to do it

 

make sure those tires are good and bald by the first 1k miles. kidding but ya.. i keept mine under 4k for the first 800miles or so.. the i couldnt take it anymore and started bringing it up to about 6500 sometimes. but not past that

 

whatever you do dont change that oil til it tells you too.. the factory oil is "special"

 

theres no "special" oil.

honestly just drive it like how your going to drive it.
thats what i did. i have no problems at all except for my bent exhaust at the 1/4 mile hahahaha but its fixed
