Just picked up the car from Immke.

Everything was replaced except the header.
Practically brand new engine in there now. So they are telling me that I have to drive first 7500miles without pushing it too hard. "Drive it like a normal car for first 7500 miles" now the manual says 600miles?

Anyways, I am stoked! Finally happy driving again!

7500 miles? Idiots.

Glad you got your car back.

I would be in VTEC as soon as I hit the ramp to 270. Fear not since I am sure the tech did it already to make sure the vtec works.

Aaaah...that makes total sense. So for some odd reason, driving it carefully for 7500miles instead of 600miles will fix any issues of improper installation or subpar work by "Johnny Lunchbox"

Thanks Popeye!
