yanger Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 Well I tried to wait for the 1000 km mark before I put the SI drive on S# mode and floored it... but I just couldn't resist any long tonight I went to a empty scratch of a road and hit the gas until the needle hit 6000 rpm... what a rush before I knew it I was going over 120 km/h so do you remember the first time you just floor your legacy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard B. Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 after 70 miles or so. my Legacy uses no oil and is a strong runner @ 37K miles. same here. went from roy robinson to costco everett then thought i forgot paperwork and went back to the exit fo RR but found paperwork in the dash. of course some pos beater with his family cut me off on the on ramp trying to get to the interstate so i cut it out early and floored it. must have put 10-15 buslinks on him. i think i was at the top of 3rd when i let off. been beating the crap out the car since. im just at only at 17k miles though. i THINK i had an turbo outback try keeping up yesterday. didn't happen. saw his car jerking so i think he was driving stick. mine runs pretty strong as well.

Impulse Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 8mi, test drove the car that i ended up buying, quite a strong runner my lgt is maybe .25 quart between each oil change - 4-5k mi, a little bit does get into my oil catch can though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badfish11 Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 I put the pedal to the floor probably after 10 miles or so, but didn't red line it until about 1000 miles I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-TT- Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 flooring implies putting the pedal to the floor. redlining implies hitting fuel cut at the highest RPM that the ECU will let you go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c-lo Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 How about pulling the e-brake during a power slide? no chance I could f up the AWD right? 258k miles - Stock engine/minor suspension upgrades/original shocks/rear struts replaced at 222k/4 passenger side wheel bearings/3 clutches/1 radiator/3 turbos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitetiger Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 I floored it and hit red line about 2 min after i took delivery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gmoe Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 Actual, pedal to the floor? hmmmm... 8 months after I bought it. Once you're "on it" going that last bit to the floor doesn't really seem to make much difference to be honest. I hit the rev limiter more times than I would like. Revs climb so fast!

t0ad Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 I did it on the test drive about 30 minutes after I first saw it.. granted it was used and already had 28k miles on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tocsin Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 yeah i gunned it almost immediately. that's the real break in. f^ck all that under whatever rpm crap for the first 1k, that's fer suckers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
underscore Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 maybe about 1000 miles in. I had it to 5k rpm right away though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FishingFiend Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 Picked my car up with 3 miles on it and rode it hard for the first 20 miles. Took it really easy for the other 980 miles. I've got 37k miles now and all is well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattg Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 imo...flooring it implied redlining it. what you described was hitting full boost then letting off. I went WOT up to 5000 rpms or so, but I didn't redline until I had a few hundred miles. I also varied my rpms and broke her in proper like. driving like a granny for the first 1000 mile is silly IMO.

PeterJMC Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 I went WOT on my car during my test drive , a week before I purchased it. It had about 5 miles on it. 2 years later it's at 52,000 :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatGuyDownUnder Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 The first day, I drove the shit out of it, really hard for about the first month. Went through a couple thousand miles and many tanks of gas just flooring it everywhere. No breaks, no leaks, no problems what so ever! Perfect machine, perfect break-in. I recommend the normal maintenance schedule and romping on your car when you get it. Remember: Your car does not love you if you don't drive it hard. Kinda like your wife(or girlfriend), same basic principal. Take it easy baby, no need for this meanness. We should keep it peaceful, homeboy, Jesus! mcrae.me/minecraft facebook.com/mike.mcrae.me twitter.com/mcraeme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
