Haha maybe for like 10 minutes, but 2.5 hrs of... "I don't think I can take this corner.. hold on!" would be kinda taxing haha.

Lol! It's more like "I can take this corner..... OH SHIT!". Oh wells. There's always next time. Anyways why is your car in the shop for?

Uh, Chris - sounds like your Fozzy could use some attention

I've seen Fozzy's that can "walk the walk"!

Replacing the transmission. Was grinding really bad shifting 3rd-4th, we were talking about it in the off topic thread. Started showing up at around 15k miles

Haha I wish! It's a loaner car though, from the dealership. If it was up to me I'd get the XT. I was petitioning the dealership to give me a WRX for a loaner, but no go...

I've been having so many problems with my tint/clear bra install that I've been driving to sac every saturday for this entire month.

Can't wait untl the day I finally get to join in on a drive- my car i past the break in period now..:sigh:

This saturday should be the last time.. *crosses fingers*

Oh thats right, my car is only 700 miles, should i join this trip? =\ shouldnt i wait a lil longer to break the engine?

just stay under 4000 rpm.

for me i just like redlining my car..

edit::

nevermind. Shop called n said my new clear bra wont get here by saturday... so I want in!

What do I need to bring? (also I dun have a 2 way radio)

only if i was in the bay area ill totally attend this cruise...:(

No! A hard breakin is good! Go at whatever RPM you want just be easy on the clutch.

Looks like it'll be a good showing on Saturday. Pssshhhh whooooosh

6000 rpm good?? Lol

During my break-in, what I did was increase the rpm's by 1000 every 150-250 miles while starting under 3k. So around 700 miles, I was doing 5.5k-6k rpm's. But it's all personal preference so do whichever you like. Some people will tell you it's bad to high rev the car during break-in while others say it's good. I really don't see any evidence that leans towards one another. It's more of how you driving the car that contributes to it getting damage or lasting a very long time.

Edit: Also you don't need to worry about driving fast. I'm sure there will be a few of the 86's that like to cruise along these drives rather than doing a spirited run.

Cool, thanks for the advice bro! How many miles is the average until u can punch your car?

Me and Finch is driving from Stockton. It's an 1 & 1/2 hr drive to Peets from Stockton. Any excuse to drive my car is a good one :party0030:
