Hey guys,
I just picked up an Evo X GSR on Wednesday and was wondering about engine break-in. I've read many mixed things on general internet sites. Some say not to drive hard for the first 2000 miles, some say to accelerate quickly to set the piston rings, others even say the engine is already broken in at the factory and you don't need to worry about it.
I've been trying to keep it under 5000 RPMs so far but it's so hard to do :) Is it necessary?
Also, I bought an "upgraded" alarm system from the dealer, but now I'm reading that it already comes with a stock alarm and ignition kill switch. My car has a motion detection alarm, is that what I paid extra for?
Thanks!
