Breaking in new engines

Justin and Billy spent a good portion of their weekend on the dyno helping to break in our new demo cars; the 2008 STi and 2008 EVO X. The cars are run on the dyno to regularly vary load and engine RPM. Admittedly, we’re a bit anal about properly breaking in the engines for our development vehicles. And why not be? Plus, it won’t stop #*&^#@$ snowing here in Utah so this is MUCH safer.

Spending hours monitoring a car on the dyno while it runs through the break-in program can be quite boring. To pass the time, the guys decided to catch up on some movies. Here they are watching Casino Royale on the iTouch. Plugged into the AUX port on the factory stereo and… instant surround sound for that authentic ‘movie theater in a STi on a dyno’ experience. 🙂
