Yes fair enough, but we aint driving 600bhp + lambos are we.. Its more to bed the car in than become accustomed to it. Why else place 4k revlimits?


you still wont know how the car drivers over that 4k untill you do it anyway.

I used to believe in running in new car engines now i dont. This nissan examples proves you dont need to with their cars, wonder how many others are the same.
