Woah. Its a little late for April Fools jokes.

Congrats dude, the number of white Subaru's is finally on the rise.

sti deede · 2005-04-18, 09:21 AM

Maybe you should break it in before you autoX your new baby.

Congrats Brandon can't wait to see it. Come out to the meet on Thursday!

MattR · 2005-04-18, 09:23 AM

sperry · 2005-04-18, 10:04 AM

If you drive it the way you drove the red RS, I got dibs on your block.

Dean · 2005-04-18, 10:53 AM

Umm, yeah. Be nice to it and break it in gently, don't go romping on it when it's brand-new (this applies to the brake system, as well as the powertrain). Follow the factory instructions for break-in procedures.

sti deede · 2005-04-18, 11:12 AM

Oooh. I didn't know about breaking the other systems. Guess it makes since. I figure mine definately wasn't broken it, being as the guy that had it before me probably knew he wasn't keeping it for long.

MikeSTI · 2005-04-18, 11:33 AM

WOW!!!

did you get your P1's off in time!!! not that they will fit

Congrats on the car

He broke it in properly and by the book. He planned on keeping it for awhile, but ended up giving it back due to finance issues.

Nick Koan · 2005-04-18, 12:27 PM

Break-in is over rated nowadays anyways. Well, engine break-in anyways.

Brand new rotors in particular need to be gently "seasoned" before using them hard.

Good advice.... that's why I'd like to thank Austin for putting miles 110-125 on my car at "combo meal" smell producing punishment levels.

haha doesn't stoptech tell you to do a few 60-0 stops to brake in their brakes?

NevadaSTi · 2005-04-18, 02:28 PM

Wow, congrats on the new 05 STi, now that makes two 05's in the club.
My Silver and Your White

A few 60-0 (or almost 0... since you don't want to ever come to a complete stop while breaking in brakes) stops are nothing compared to the heat of racing or tracking the car.

A few 60-0 will start to season things since you'll get the rotors up to 2 or 300 degrees. Whereas using the brakes over and over again at RFR will run them up to 6 or 800 degrees.

You don't want to do that on totally fresh rotors & pads!

Um, I think that's actually the 4th or 5th '05 in the club.

Sam, ScottB, You, MikeK, and now Brandon. And Nick too, but I'm not sure if his is an '04 or '05.

Nick Koan · 2005-04-18, 02:34 PM

Nick's is 05 IIRC
