Is it unwise to modify a new car before breaking it in?
Friend is picking up a new 03' s2 tomorrow. He has a garage of new parts (never installed) from his old 01' s2 and wants to put them on right away.
Intake, header, exhaust, ecu, vtec controller, temp controller, coilovers, flywheel...etc....basically every single naturally aspirated bolt-on possible for the s2.
Is it a bad idea to install it before 1000km (600miles) break-in?

Just put it up on a jack and let it idle in first gear for 600 miles on the odo.
