I was lucky enough to pick up my new 22 brz this past weekend and am loving it so far. I've gone thru the settings to modify the rev/shift lights & beeper so that It goes off at 4k RPM. When I was going thru the owners' manual it said the engine break-in period was 1k miles and to not go above 4k rpm unless in emergencies until past that 1k miles. How strict do y'all plan on adhering to this rule? I have only put 100 miles on the car so far and am planning to keep this thing forever so want to make sure I don't overtax the engine early on by revving it out. The car is plenty of fun at low revs so it's not like I can't enjoy the car yet but am looking forward to bouncing of the rev limiter on the racetrack as soon as I can. Do y'all think i need to wait until 1k miles on the odomoter before I can fully rev the engine out? furthermore I'm planning to track the car as soon as i hit 1k miles. Is this safe to start racing the car as soon as the engine break-in is over or is there anything else I'm missing out on to preserve the life of the engine?
I love cars but have no experience in mechanical engineering so have no idea what stress is caused by revving the engine before the break-in period is over.
