I know this has prob. been discussed. Just curious. Approx. how many miles did you guys wait before stepping on it in your STI's. I had an 03 EVO and did not get on it past 5000 rpm for 3k miles. My tranny and clutch ran perfect everyday before I sold at 25,000 miles. I even launched pretty hard about 20 times with 6k drops.

Looking to purchase STI soon. Thanks.

 

bump, Is there another thread on this that someone could point me to or at least can someone answer. Thanks.

 

should be in your owners book, most cars its about 500 miles

 

Most dealers recommend 1000 miles for Subaru break-ins. Some will tell you to drive it like you stole right off the lot. The 1000 mile break-in usually involves staying under 4000 rpm for those 1000 miles.

It's pretty hard to do and most people gradually work up to redline by 1000 miles. For instance, I stayed under 4000 for 500 miles, under 5000 for the next 250, and then under 5500 for the last 250.

 

Cool. That is what I thought. Thanks for the info.
