whaaaat. That would apply if you could take your new car to track days a few months before buying it.
That moment Car Throttle notifications are faster than YouTube notifications. 😅
Too late. I’ve been flooring and shifting at 6.5k my Mazda since my first drive. 8500 kms and now it sounds kinda like it’s been driven 30k or 40k.
I know, it was a terrible decision. I didn’t know that back then.
oh wow I never thought it would be this noticable
Used launch control with the low end of double digits on the clock… Now at just over 5.5k miles and no problems… Yet.
well this is for Maximum life time, you probably killed it for 150k. But then you would have sold it and not your Problem. And sometimes power killed
Cmon.. asking that is the same as asking to go half way with a girl during 100 dates… BLUE TESTIES MATES!!
Great video, could you link another telling me how not to be broke and afford a brand new car?
Get a nice job, work for a month, get your first paycheck, buy a gun, rob a bank, disappear for a year or so, get plastic surgery while hiding, get a new identity, buy new car.
Simple, go and work
It’s not worth it anyway, unless it’s a dream car optioned just right. Or a work vehicle that you need to last a while.
This is why I buy new. I guarantee no one does this. Everyone beats the sh*t out of their cars, puts a million miles and then sells it.
This page was the 1st thing i thought about when the video started. I call the video bs and this link the right way to do it. Also to mention the manufacturers of new cars do the break in for you before the car leave’s the factory.
I was going to post exactly the same thing. I bought a brand new MK2 Ford Focus ST back in 2009 and used this to run it in. The car has never skipped a beat and is now putting out 305 BHP. ;)
Its true and false. If you want power do it this way, if you want to have durability do it the factory subscribed way. The rings seat better but will wear faster because there is less tolerance (cold start=more wear in this case). Break in is not just for your piston rings but everything
But for everything else too. Like your gearbox and so on.
At 3:53, look at bouncing front of the NSX, unmounted/unadjusted dampers?
No just stock comfort mode. It is hideous to look at though.
what about breaking-in after rebuilding the engine? I changed the piston rings aswell. I’m guessing i would have to do the same as with the new engine?
Yeah there’s also regulations on breaking in a rebuilt engine, rebuilds obviously consist of reboring and/or honing the block as well as fitting new rings so as said in the video the rings need time to seat properly, of you follow the steps in the video you should be ok, my company recommend a run in period of 2000 miles at no more than 50% throttle, but we do high performance and classic cars. Hope this helps!
