She's finally here!!!
 

Picked her up on Saturday and can honestly say I'm blown away with the car. I've already done a smidge over 500kms and can't wait till she is broken in and I can open her up properly. :thumbup:

nice... make sure you keep the celica as well.

For the moment I will be. But its hard to find the time to keep the Celica in as good a condition as I'd like. Plus parts are getting hard to come by so I'm going to have a serious think about it.

Congrats! Enjoy!
BTW, the celica looks awesome!

On ya ! There's some history there b/w those two cars that's for sure.

Enjoy mate, the fun never stops

Congrats! Was it worth the wait?

I had a 77 fastback celica (RA28) as my first car. wish i still had it

They're awesome cars. A lot of fun.

Hell yeah. The car has blown me away. So glad I waited. All I need now is it to be run in.

my way of breakin. Run it hard and no constant engine rpm speed.

:burnrubber:

Yeah I've read those articles. Frankly I'm doing my best to keep it below 4k but I have given it a couple of spurts beyond that. Sort of a mix between the two ideas lol.

Yeah. I was a bit in between. Prob a bit more on the aggressive side

Warmed it up good.
redlined a few times up until 1000km's... ( redline daily now, actually everytime i drive )
didnt punish it with low revs freeway driving..

stuck to the back streets ... and rev'd it enough to not drive like a grandma...

I have heard it before & I reckon this is good advice for a brand new engine. You're not thrashing it, it just needs full throttle acceleration for that "big-bang" as much as possible - the best way to seal those rings. If 80% of the wear-in happens within 40km then an oil change is also a great idea as is driving on back streets. Great stuff !
