r12rex, nice car. Black looks great on the 06's.

How's the break-in period going?

pooppy2 · 10-16-2006, 03:17 PM

black with gold is hot

r12rex · 10-16-2006, 05:44 PM

Yes I know the garage is dirty...we put new kitchen cabinets in our kitchen (obviously) and have yet to remove all the remainders of the cabinets. She definately needs to be kept in there.

Break in...whats that?!?!

She is well over break-in a bit over 1600 to be exact...

I love it!!!

Thanks for the comments!!!

Ikon · 10-17-2006, 11:44 AM

That's great news, however I feel the need to break-in the Subarues, from what I've read, is of utmost imporance. Break-in is driving a new vehicle/new engine combo gingerly, not higher than 4 RPM's during the first 1k miles.

The last thing you need is for a valve or gasket to not seet properly within the valvetrain.

I imagine these STI's are rock solid in that department though and the break-in period is more for being safer than sorry.

Glad to hear you're having a great time. Keep us up to date on that beast.

r12rex · 10-19-2006, 11:39 AM

Thanks for all the positive comments guys! Yes, I did follow break-in procedure of course!

Anyway, I installed the 27-29mm FSB from whiteline. I have it set at 27. Turn-in feels great and the reduced body roll feels fantastic! I have yet to feel what the car REALLY feels like with the FSB installed, but so far so good!

I am on stock endlinks, but will be purchasing some kartboys in the near future!

Now...I'm waiting for my catch cans to come in and my Maddad Clarity v2 ti gauges to come in!
