Boosted app is different, I always let it warm up for a minute to get oil into my turbo if nothing else, then it gets 10 minutes of no boost driving, then it gets boost without vtec for another 5 or so, it's always atleast 15 min before I go all out on my car. I know it's overkill but I have to many other issues with my ride than to have to worry about engine wear.
that made my day hahaha

Umm duh you are supposed to let you engine idle for 1-3 minutes and warm up before you take it out. then still drive it easy after it's warm. if you want to hear the difference start it, then immediately take it out and get after it and listen to the top end engine noise. then try letting it warm up the next morning and see how your engine sounds. And as for the oil it doesn't matter if you're moving or not, the ammound of circulation is based upon rpm so if you want more you can just idle higher and you get the same benifet without putting any stress on any cold parts. The gearbox is true because it doesn't really pump; the gears moving is what lubes them.
So bottom line drive you car easy in the morning either way, but let it warm up a few minutes will be best for it.
(and every honda tech i work with agrees with me)
