How fast did you hit 1000 Miles? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Hey Guys, just picked a new FRS last week and already hit 550 miles even though I have a daily driver that I use for work. Desperately waiting for 1000 miles so I can finally experience the full potential. I was just wondering how long did it take you guys to hit 1k miles?

Within the first day, bought out of state and drove it back home and was already past the break-in.

Hello Jeebz, WELCOME to the forum and CONGRATULATIONS on your new car .....

Yep, the first 1,000 miles can go pretty slow ..... took me a few days.

Even after 1,000 miles, if you have a MT, I suggest you set your shift light for about 6,000 RPMs. Why, because that is about where the highest HP and torque happens. Also, that setting will give you time to react before it hits the rev limiter.

Thanks for the tips Humfrz! Currently have it set at 4k, and have gotten it close to 5k a few times. I will have it set at 6k after the 1k miles as this is my first MT car. I will need the reaction time

Nah, you won't. It's a nice little four banger, not a pro stock.
@humfrz, IMO it's ok to run past peak torque because that sets up better for the upshift. First through third are still pretty far apart.

I think I was doing about 60-65mph when I hit 1000 miles....

Well, then, try going through second gear, then first to third won't be so far apart .......

To break in the car properly, that would be the first 5000 miles. Do three oil changes at 1000 , 2500, and 5000 miles. The large majority of the time you really don't want to go over 4k rpms when shifting (eats more gas going over 4k rpms , plus it's best to keep the rpms low when breaking in the car).

My motto : do it right, or don't do it at all.
