hey bro, install turbine hurricane intake and performance chip so you can vtec at lower revs
killester hotties snappin necks at bus stop
Good thing i live across killester baby
I personally wait about 30seconds to a minute depending if i can be bothered waiting at all, then i drive off like a baby until the temp gauge goes to where it belong then i drive like normal.
Start engine, wait 30 seconds. Drive off gently. Drive sedately like an old nanny while keeping throttle low and engine revs between 2000 and 3000 rpm, never lugging the engine. Once the temperature needle hits the warm mark (just before the middle), I wait an additional equal amount of time before I start using full throttle.
Using an oil temperature gauge, I only hit it once the gauge reads 80 ºC.
As per before, even the workshop manual says not to let it sit and idle. The idea is to get the engine to heat up as fast as possible (but not trashing it) since engines need to be at a certain temp to be efficient and use less fuel
I don't understand how this thread is still active. You let your car idle for 15-30 secs to get the fluids moving and baby it until the gearbox and engine is warm. It's incredibly simple and only takes common sense. Anyone who does otherwise and thinks this is good is an idiot.
