Do a burnout. Change the oil, and your car is pretty much broken in.

Yes it is aimed at motorcycles, but this is essentially what we're aiming for right?

I cant name one person I know with FC who has done anything close to a "break in" with a rebuilt motor.

are you serious? just 300 miles and its ready to mash? lol Then how come everybody in the west coast forum is hating on me for clutch kicking a few turns at about 200 miles..and they are all saying oh warranty voided lol Lucky 7 said to break in till 1000 miles... They are saying like "Oh clucth kicking damages your new bearings because of the shock and vibration".. I think the engine is ready too,it runs cold, it feels strong,its torqy, and is reliable.. Im already about 300 miles driven... and been driving very slow, shifting under 3,000 rpm and not boosting.
Theres a 626 event coming up in feb14@ balcony, I think I will do this one. I want to see what this car can do! I gotta say though, my chassis is too flexible, after drifting at the open lot at school, my car wouldnt go straight, as if the alignment went off..I think I need a strong cage to stiffen this chassis..
