I would probably drive normally but keeping it under 4k and not keep rpms constant for the first 1000Miles/1600Kms

This was most likely what i was probably going to do, just wanted some more solid info on the subject from other FRS owners themselves.

when you have a new car freshly built the engine will need time to break in and let the seals set and the internals wear right due to the engine is now having to push more load internal tranny/rear diff/the load of the car due to day to day driving...plus they full tank your car. kind of wish they didnt do that to mine i wanted half tank to keep the load light as possible..
its like buying a new baseball gloves they work better once its been broken in..
a good break in will make a engine very happy and last a very long time..
my break in was 1500k then i flushed the oils to make sure i get all that break in gunk out.. then i was having fun  its better to be safe then sorry your engine is not running well.. dont go bananas when you get your car the first day.. i know its tempting but treat her right she will reward you with a good strong running engine.
its similar to a rc nitro car.. i use to race them.. didnt do my break in and the engine didnt last and blew up on me   |
yeah, i did the same with rc nitro car as well, just i wanted some feedback on an actual car and on my car that i want to care a lot about, how did u drive ur car exactly, if you dont mind me asking?
