I mean i understand i have a warranty. I also have health insurance, but i'm not going to smoke 10 packs a day just to use it. I read somewhere here that people were breaking-in their cars longer and just wanted to clarify, Since i've already come this far at 1047 miles. Might as well follow through and do it right.

Hans, You are the man. Thanks. It makes sense.
Lotus sells cars to enthusiasts like us. They trust that their owners understand and care for engines and thus they print detailed break-in instructions in their manuals. This is for a 2005 Elise but you might be interested as I think it applies to any engine. The Lotus ECU also logs everything you do so when you go in for your break-in service, they can tell whether you followed the procedure.... hey, it's right there in the manual!
BTW, you see the scribbles around this area of the manual. That was done by our Lotus dealer.
Happy motoring!

I LOVE THIS GOD DAMN CAR. I went for a spirited run today through the twisties and it was amazing. The tq and planted feel of the car. I gave it some WOT runs from 1st to about 90, but couldn't tell when i was shifting all i know is i shifted when my gauge cluster went red. Is there a way to set when your cluster goes red or is it auto set? I went by a golf course and punched it and everyone who was playing stopped and turned around haha. In the end i'm glad i broke it in for peace of mind. Thanks guys even the ones who disagreed. It would be a boring forum if we all agreed apon the same things.
