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.

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

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.

    • You are perhaps suggesting that it is not a super car? Well....it's not an AU.
    • Dropped the MX5 of this morning to get the hardtop colour matched and some PDR done, they are also going to give it a buff to remove some "stubborn" swirl marks and light scratches in the clear coat Over the last few months the poor little thing has copped some shopping centre car park abuse, I try to not park in them, but hitting Westfield's a few times over the last few months has taken its toll, nothing really bad, but enough of a trigger for a "while we're in there" thingie  Once it's back and all the one colour, with a few dents and mark's removed I'll give some of these products a go and see what they're like  
    • A locally delivered Infiniti have remote start installed but don't come with the remote start key. You need a new remote start key and they just need it programed. And this is different to making/programing a new key that just starts the car.  
    • Cheers, and cheers for sharing so much of the build and also sharing the glimpse of what turns out to bring a lot of us poor decision makers together haha.  I do recommend learning more about how to manage it, if not considering getting a  formal diagnosis.  The discussion with the psychiatrist I got my diagnosis through was quite eye opening, things I'd not even considered to be ADHD related and hadn't mentioned were things she asked about out of the blue and were common themes with people with my flavour of ADHD.   It's not a label for people who are hyperactive and ill-attentive, there's more to it than that and some of it can be much more challenging or damaging - though there are of course two sides to the thing, and a lot of the stuff we have to go through and work on to live with it make us effectively "better" at other things as well. Aside from the fact that there is some argument I could have a bit of ASD seasoning in there (came up during the diagnosis, and neurodiverse things seem to not stay as a cookie cut) I suspect you need to learn more about ADHD if you are puzzled about how hyperfocus could possibly apply.  I *do* personally use "superpower" with quotes deliberately, but it's 100% an ADHD thing due to the exact reason that lack of focus is also an ADHD thing... Loosely speaking the inattentive side of ADHD isn't the inability to focus, it's the inability to control where the focus goes.  Not being able to sleep because brain is more interested in thinking about a stupid thing I said to a girl I liked 30 years ago, not being able to focus on work because my brain is more keen on putting together the torque management strategy we're going to try out with a drag car next weekend, not being able to focus on a conversation with someone I WANT to listen to and respect because there is a flickering light in my peripheral vision.    If I could just stop work and build the torque management setup right there and then I'd not hear anything else until it was done.
