There was a bloke at High School who we always gave crap to because he drove around in his mums car and pretended it was his own.

We'd call it the "Baby Blue Honda Jazz"... and without fail he'd always yell "It's ICE BLUE!!!!" and when we gave him crap about it being auto, he'd say that autos were faster at the drag strip... *shakes head slowly*

Hmm you went to school with birds didn't you?

lol you go missing on the regular anyway...

Congrats dude! Take me for a ride? Still waiting for our red 86 to come :D

Yeah you're right, I do. Not as much time for forum whoring these days. Cut right back.

And sure, if you're there at the Dyno Day/Renewal Day on Sunday I'll be there. It'll be a sedate ride though, will be running it in.

And wow, fatherhood has turned Hamish into an angr(ier) man! It's okay, I won't try and infect you with my auto driving ways. Hey I had/still have auto FWD's and I'm female. All the stereotypes at once.

do people still run in new cars?

Definately subscribe to this school of thought. Beat on dat engine yo!

What uni man?

SAU Daytona meet.

Monash Clayton man. Although majority of that time was when I was in first year. IN for SAU Daytona meet though, brush back up on dem drift skillz. + I'm always at Uni :P

Realised by 'hard' I think I meant 'advanced'. Ain't nobody got time for Expert :P

Yeah I would probably go and beat on a new engine, all the mechanics do it when they rebuild engines nowadays too

Worst case scenario is it needs a rebuild, and on a BRZ that can only include forced induction :P

Yep, warm up your engine and then rev it out (dont limiter bash though)

That's what I did with mine and the tuner said it was making some really good power standard and I must of worn engine in well

Just drive it as you would if you bought it second hand...new cars are designed with the lowest common denominator in mind, who wouldn't consider running in periods. They couldn't afford to warranty new cars if they would break from driving it with a bit of stick. Think the engines are fairly run in / tested from factory anyway.

    • Given you're running a 2.8 and my 2.5 is not really like for like, I suspect there could be a bit more timing you could give it. What is the kW yield per degree you're putting through it? Here's my E85 map to give you an idea, where it was I could still get another 3~4kW per degree thrown at it.  
    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
    • Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
