i'm baby is at 3000 no vtec sound just yet

 

I waited til 600 miles to VTEC. I think you're ok.

 

1k miles, you should be Ok to drive hard. For track event, i would do it after first oil change. My first track with S2000 was around 3500.

 

i think you should wait till you put lil more miles in,my 2 cents

 

I agree with chan1wan you should race at the track when you change your oil for the first time.

 

you can take it to the track, but dont expect to see good times as full power is not produced by the motor until about 5000 miles...i noticed a huge difference with mine around 4800, and it got a little better yet around 5100

 

I agree, I'd wait longer. The car will get stronger the more miles you put on it..

 

I've heard you should still run it through the revs. Don't baby it too much while breaking it in. I brought it to 9k rpm at around 1k miles. Seemed to work well for me.
