I didn't wait... depends on your love to your car...
The engine has already been revved to the max at the factory, and also at the port during delivery, probably during inspection, and also during the first 50km of its life by the salesman...

If you push it too maximum, what will be the side effect in long term? Will engine become noisy or draggy?

No, K&N actually issue a notice to all Car Manufacturer in US that their products will not void any car warranty.
In US they even bring this case to the court against those Manufacturer who void the customer car warranty.

But here in Malaysia, your service center is the one who say void or not void, court here will not bother.
So normally best practice is to consult with your service center,
or much easier like other bros here said,
change back to original when you want to claim any warranty.

after 1000km u will feel much smoother ride

i still keeping my B16A (M)..wanna go hardcore use the B, wan take girl go pak toh use the Z


yeah, nowadays new car new engine already run-in out from the factory.
but i think additional run-in in actual driving condition especially in hot humid weather in Malaysia will be necessary,
other parts like tire should also do the proper run-in to ensure it will perform its best with longest lifespan!

Kangyoon : yeah, dun feel like selling my B16B.... after so many mods, sayang lo. Hehe, getting a fresh paint job and will post for sell in every forum.

CRZ is deliciously tempting for me to mod it.... Whereas the ek need serious moolah if wanna go extreme

Seriously when you noticed you in a serious jam that will cause you jammed for over 30mins and more. Better use Econ mode. You can see the FC difference between normal and Econ by then..

hi guys, i'm new to this post and planning to get this car.
But I still prefer to wait for Auto launch 1st. lolx

In fact you might feel that the engine will be smoother and more responsive after that. The will be some excess metal bits from the block during the run in period, that is why mineral oil is recommended for at least the first 10,000km.

I've seen a few hp difference between cars that was pushed hard and cars that was "cared" when it was still new.

But of course its not recommended to be pushing your engine hard to the redline during the entire life of your car, this will definitely reduce the lifespans of your engine internal parts and most common problem due to prolong engine whacking will be missing engine oil (makan minyak hitam)

Oh, thank you for the info. Btw, what is 'mineral oil' ? Engine oil?

mineral oil is the lowest grade of engine oil, mineral oil - semi-sync and fully synthetic.

Or commonly known as "normal" engine oil.
Also if you can find those hard disk grade magnet, it would be useful to attached it to the oil filter to help attract the shaved metal bits.

lol, can snap some pics to hv a look how it looks like?

This is how it looks like

Just drive 3++ km from Terengganu to Serdang to test CRZ....At first sight it is a good looking car and the interior also nice...i like the instrument panel when i came inside the car..

I start with Normal mode and push the pedal...what i can feel it got some power to accelerate....after that i change to sport mode and a bit surprise it have more power and response well....drop gear and layan corner at seri kembangan exit...it was good!!...

decided to wait for auto with pedal shift

all the way from t'ganu to test drive...salute!

This morning when i started my car, i had check VSA and check hill start assist system light on. Dunno where went wrong.

T_T

Stay calm dude, just send to SC for checkup. As long as its still within warranty period, you should have nothing to worry about..

Yes, but it makes me worry also.. There are many cases that SC don't know how to solve for you immediately, then just put there for long time & no temporary car for driver.
Apart from that, I more worry after they solve this matter, NEW problem arise..

did u install any accessories? weak 12v batt maybe?
