Heya guys I just wanted to introduce myself to the Acura community, I just recently bought my 09' TSX Tech/New/Spoiler/Auto.
Loving every minute of it.
SO farr...
578 Miles on it
-Around 200~ Went about 80-100 MPH for about 3-4 minutes.
-200-300~ Miles Revv'd it to around 3-4k 3-4 times.
-350~ Miles Revv'd it more around 3-4k, as well as going 80~.
-400+ Miles Revv'd it from 1-7k RPMs in gears 1 and 2. And in 3, around 4-5k RPMs. Did that about 5-6 times. As well as my neighbor testing it out in auto revving it from 1-6.
-500-Future Going to take it easier on the car. Keeping it under 75MPH~, and 1-4k RPMs.
Any feed back from anyone in the forums? Maybe I might have engine damage, or its not safe for the engine to revv too high till 7k. Or maybe engine leaks... On the contrary maybe the TSX is made for revving that high?
Haha pretty much any feedback.
But Im glad to have joined the acura community. Hope you guys are accepting as I've heard.

WTH happened to my garage
Welcome!
IMHO, just drive it how you normally drive, you can make yourself crazy reading conflicting information about break-in styles.

Thank you guys for all inviting me in.
Yeah this engine break in stuff is crazy.
Im just wondering if I might have engine damage.
Just wanted to show you guys a peek of how I treat my TSX, and Ill give you guys further updates on how the car runs because of the abuse in the beginning.
But again, thank you for the warm welcome!
