Default Just got my new RSX Type-s On friday

Well what can I say. This car is great. I mean going from a jetta to this.. uhhh.. yeah I think anything was better than the jetta. But you can feel this car in every damn gear wanting to come out.

Anyway.. it's time to put out my first complaint about the car. Only what, 4 days of driving the car..
ready?

My left ass "muscle" is killing me god damn it. I mean i was limping all last night and finally after putting some heat on this thing and i can walk normal again after half a day.

Where were the warnings in the manual about having this car as your first stick?

They'll break in. Just keep your car down in the r's until you have the motor good and broke in. You'll be glad you did. Welcome to the board.

The best way to break in a new motor is to run it at varying speeds on the hi-way. DO NOT juice it untill after the first 1500 miles or so. The reason for varying speeds is to break in the motor at all rpm levels. Even in the city, GENTLY bring the revs up by holding it in gear longer but only do it once in a while. You may want to add Slick 50 fuel treatment for extra lubrication when wearing the motor in.
