Break-in: I am hearing an incredibly beautiful noise when over 7000 rpm
Hi, all
I am breaking in my RX8 iaw Racing Beat procedure. Since I've done 2000 km (1250 Mi), I allow 6000 rpm, no top gear, no full throttle, no engine lugging. I ocassionally get a bit past there, but today, exiting a tight hairpin in 2nd gear, I reached 7000 for some instants, and the noise was beautiful: still smooth but much deeper. Sorry for not considering it strange or getting afraid of some machanical failure... PS: my crazy salesman advised not to exceed 4000-5000 rpm until 3100 Miles. Any clue on why? :nono: |
Anticipation makes all good things better of course.... your ultimate fulfillment awaits your some 2500 rpm ahead :cwm27: . Dream on for longer or maybe ... just maybe sneak (only) one head long rush up there, just one mind you, I dare you :mdrmed: .

1200 miles, I'd say it's broken in and ready for revvin'. I thought most people only considered the first 600 miles as break in..

and yes, the music that flows from that engine after 7K is almost like a symphony of sheer eurphoria. Glad your enjoying it for all :ylsuper: |

2500-3000 miles is the break in period of the Rx8 and you do have to drive the car like a baby during that.

1200 miles, I'd say it's broken in and ready for revvin'. I thought most people only considered the first 600 miles as break in.. And of course my break-in is not "grandma-driving", but generally accepted and proven break-in procedures based on low and variable loads, variable speed, frequent shifting, no overheating and short thermal cycles. In that plan, some short "excursions" are not only allowed, but necessary. :rock: And refraining from revving this engine builds the character... |
