GR86 Engine Break In

Lauren said:
Not really, no. I will review the new GR86 when it comes out and I'll bet I'll like it. But, I don't change cars frequently as I had the GT86 for 8 years. Will probably do the same with the Yaris. Plus I definitely do not want to spend any more money. Him indoors will kill me. 🤣

Fair enough haha. My partner trying to make me get rid of the Yaris while I’m trying to add the GR86 but apparently 4 cars is too many for some

This is the official breaking in procedure according to the UK GR86 owner's manual posted elsewhere on this forum:

■New vehicle break-in driving (the
first 1600 km [1000 miles])
The performance and long life of your
vehicle are dependent on how you han-
dle and care for your vehicle while it is
new. Follow these instructions during
the first 1600 km (1000 miles):
●Do not race the engine. And do not
allow the engine speed to exceed
4000 rpm except in an emergency.
●Do not drive at one constant engine or
vehicle speed for a long time, either
fast or slow.
●Avoid starting suddenly and rapid
acceleration, except in an emergency.
●Avoid hard braking, except in an
emergency.
The same break-in procedures should
be applied to an overhauled engine,
newly mounted engine or when brake
pads or brake linings are replaced
with new ones.

Wow, 4k max for 1000 miles, that’s going to be painful. 😂
 
I won't be bouncing off the limiter but I'll run it how I want to once it's to temp. Once I've detailed and sealed it, it's heading up to Aberystwyth at least twice to see family and friends. It will be well run in by the time I'm done :)

I've never been much of one to bounce off the limiter anyway. I'm sure keeping it under 4k will be no trouble, even on a spirited drive....especially seeing as the car has a bit more grunt now.
