Just bought a new impeza sport, well my dad has. Are there any common faults what should he watch out for?

*Sonic*

1. Letting his Son drive it

2. not getting a Turbo

no seriously tho, I hope he enjoys it, I had a MY99 Classic Sport for just less than 3 years, and loved it

I never had any problems with mine at all, 125k miles, only needed a new clutch, and two sets of tyres

Thankfully his came with a deal of free tires for life! Anyhows I am not old enough to drive it, only 15

*Sonic*

Thats not a bad deal at all

Wish my car had free tyres for life

Is it the new shape then?

I dont know of any common probs with new shapes, and my classic never had any, other than the clutch as I said previously, but that was to be expected with the mileage I was doing

oh, and I ragged it everywhere pretty much, very rarely below 5k revs, so all in all a very reliable car

It is the 00my-02my version

Another question, what is the max the engine should be reved to?
Currently runnin in so not allowed above 4000, but once run in

*Sonic*

I think mine redlined about 6.5k rpm

I was told (and i will stand corrected) by the dealers, that when running in, dont just stay at 4k rpm

go upto the redline once in a while, and dont idle for too long, lots of varied revs etc

Thanks for that, if anyone else knows different or can confirm this please post here!
