/According to Mazda, no need to break in this engine... however, I would caution to take it easy for the first 1,000 miles at least. Anyone else have other advice???

how to break in the car:

1)Find a really hot trophy girlfriend
2)Have her ride around with you whenever you are driving

Repeat for as long as necessary.

Your Rx8 is now broken in! Enjoy!

Whaaaat? Which Mazda are you talking about? Obviously not the Mazda who makes the RX-8.

Break in procedure is explained in the MAZDA RX-8 OWNERS MANUAL? Who wrote that, aliens?

It's there - I have a hard time finding it too. Right below the RX-8 pictured at the top of the page is a box with a rotor that says "How to break-in your RX-8."
