Ok I know there are other threads but I think I have some hard and fast figures. I wondered If anyone can prove or disprove them before I set them in stone so to speak. I got these figures by boring My BOB around Tsukuba for 10 laps at a time in the same cars.
At 500 miles the Oil changes to "Dirty" colour. At 500 miles I also noticed a 1BHP increase in the F430 Scuderia. I changed the Oil then so dont know if it would have gone higher. Maybe 500miles is the best run in period?
At 600 Miles my Bob gets a little wild in the corners and His lap times drop off by about 2 seconds (mood has been low for a long time previous). Hes level 17 and driving in the Clubman cup with a 293bhp car. Up till 600 miles he would win easily every time. After 600miles he starts to slow down and come second. Is 600 miles the milestone for Rigidity? I wouldnt say the car is undriveable just yet however so im gonna keep pushing till it looks as though its on skates!
Oil changes: With the F430 and a Number of second hand cars Ive worked out the Maximum gain an Oil change can Give is ~5% of your original BHP.
Engine rebuilds: Ive worked out that the maximum BHP a rebuild will give is ~10% of original BHP. So the most power a car can loose is about 10%. I dont know if this is cumalitive since I havent got that far twice! Ie that the BHP gradualy reduces after every engine rebuild?
Im still working on the Mileage that the BHP actually starts to drop and when the oil light comes on / How many oil changes are needed before a rebuild. If anyone has these figures please let me know!
