Rep Power: 0 Questions about the 06
I just bought a 06 lx sedan and I was just wondering if anybody knew what the speed limiter was set at, I haven't tried it out yet as I am babying the engine a little until I hit 1000 km.

Another buddy of mine told me Evinrude does the same with there ETech outboards. Quite a different perspective than the "baby it for a while" attitude.
Hmm hard to believe.. I wonder if its true.

Vtec,
I don't know much about this topic in this post but they can always reset the odometer after running the car, etc.
I would like to know though, factually, if this is true about the ferraris?

they may run the engine hard, but they do not do anything w/ the car.. EVERY engine that is installed in a car is tested before hand... they hook it up to an engine dyno... wether they actually do a hp reading idk.. but they do test them..

Rep Power: 0 Baby it
I agree with the idea of "baby"ing it for the first thousand. Avoid the cruise as much as possible and run it through a moderate range. Every engine must "set" the rings for a good seal. It will temper the cam (or two in the DOHC like Si). And the computer must learn about you and the driving conditions. After the engine is seasoned, you should raise the limits to exercise it (carbon and injector gunk will be a problem if you don't). Get as many opinions as you can, but be skeptical of all - even mine! Ultimately, this is your baby and you are responsible. It's your pleasure and your pain.
