      @Eco.boost2.7 Před rokem +1

      You don’t have to break in a cars engine😂. The engine is ran from the factory for hours on a motor dyno and they redline them on purpose for a reason. They’re not gonna sell you a brand new 40k fucking car to some chump expecting them to drive it like ms. Daisy! Every car I buy it gets an exhaust and a tune within the first 5k miles and I’ve never blown a car up that’s a load of horse shit. You should probably go to uti or whatever school you see fit and get an education on mass produced automobiles because they absolutely don’t sell you a car that hasn’t been broken in from the factory!

    • @thatoneguy454c
      @thatoneguy454c Před rokem

      @@Eco.boost2.7 engines definitely have a break in period. Subaru recommends at least 1000km to ensure that the engine components we're in properly. Most people who work on cars will also agree that engines have a break in period. That is why your first oil change is so important. You can do whatever you want. Have you ever owned a subaru? The WRX is a very unforgiving car if you drive like an ass and beat on it like a 20 dollar whore. Especially if it is a new car. I would suggest that you try to dig your head out of your ass. That's probably what is giving you shitty ideas.

      No street car needs a "warm up" unless you're trying to redline it immediately etc, and that's only because of rapid expansion as heat builds can cause stuff to get stuck/snap out of place etc. F1 is only motorsport that needs engine to be pre-heated to running temp before even turning it on.

    Bro I am not surprised the subaru broke. Out of the all vehicles I owned the Subaru engine was a absolute nightmare to add power and keep reliable. I owned a 2004 wrx(broke the transmission) and a 2006 STI one was bolt on's the STI was 450whp(lifted the heads pressuring the coolant system with a built engine). Those 2 instances are the only time I had a major mechanical failure. I've had stock ls3 motor up to 850whp until I sold the car.

    Had a buddy that bought a brand new WRX a few years ago. With 11 miles on the tack, he hooked up a tuner and was running full boost. He broke his differential in a few thousand miles from launching it. He would have to set it back to factory settings and change his springs to bring it back for warranty work. After getting two rear differentials, replaced and inevitably blowing his transmission, they voided his warranty
