TC New Owner-- Some questions....
Well..
Im getting my 2007 TC today.. and Im already thinking of some changes on the car.
1. I want to change the headlights, to some clear ones, where on the net I can find the best deals????? Are they easy to install?????
2. Also I wanna change the antenna for something smaller, any place on the net anyone can recommend???
3. I know this is off topic but is very important. How should I handle the new motor, I mean I know I have to drive it a certain speed for certain time until the motor settles down, I think they called it "break down the motor", how this works????
Thank you in advance for your tips...
Peace...

hopefully your getting a manual. as for clear headlights, there are lots all over ebay mostely, but aftermarket headlights are notorious for fogging up unless you back them and reseal them.
if you want a new smaller antenna, go to "h and a accessories", most of us have either a honda s2k antenna, or a honda element antenna, etc. there are lots of lots of choices, and provided they have a set of universal threads, they all just screw in.
and it is called "breaking-in the engine" which means that for the first 1000 miles, don't accelerate fast, brake hard, turn hard etc. don't redline the engine. there are still parts of your engine that kind of need to sync up and wear into eachother before you can start ragging on it.
try not to take it straight to the interstate, you don't want to run it at a constant rpm, you want to vary your speed alittle.

2. check Ebay again!
3. No break-in required...the technology is good enough to be ok after a couple hundred miles!!....after about about 400miles on Mine I just drove Normal....
