AutoX Dilemma - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

NYC BRZ · 05-28-2012, 08:56 AM

So I got an ETA of 6/15 and a NYR SCCA event on 6/16. If it comes early then I'm ok but if not I won't be able to race it. I REALLY want to race but I'd imagine autocrossing a car with only 120-150 miles on it is a no-no (I live in NY bought the car in PA)

Any suggestions/advice?

I'm kinda in the same boat. I'm supposed to get the car this week sometime. Maybe as late as Friday. I have a event on the 3rd by Indy. Its a club vs club kinda match kinda cool. Ill rack on a few hundred miles driving there but... I just don't see having a 1000 miles on it yet. If the car comes tomorrow. Then I will be doing all I can to get it broken in by then.

Mine came in similarly close to an autox. I parked it at the event for everyone to oogle over, and codrive a miata. I have the bruise from the cupholder on my left leg to prove it

Yea I'll either be co-driving my friends brand new RTA 12' WRX or I'm stealing my gf's 2010 GTI again lol

Mine comes in june 18th with a 2day glss divisional the 24-25. The solstice wont be available that weekend, so Im going to be doing a lot of driving in 4 days to get it as broken in as possible.

I think you will be fine...since its a varying RPM level...it 'should' help the break-in process... I have a personal opinion on Break-in..but will leave that out of this conversation..

Relax and wait a few weeks. Live waited this long, a bit more won't kill you.

Hoping the car comes anyday. I'm half tempered to take a day off work just to put some miles on it. It says no long drives but what's a long drive? 100 miles at once two hundred. I want to get in this car and put it in its paces.

Yea the dealer is 100+ miles away from me so it's getting driven a long way either way on the way home lol.

Should I just play with the mph/gears and shift like crazy and vary speeds?
