id say its best to run in any engine to get the best out of it

:lol: so far ive been driving like a granny. Even coming out of round abouts, i'm like a snail on crutches!

Nail it soon as you get the car!!! :lol:

When the engine is new you need to ru it in to get everything flowing well, you will notice that your fuel consumption is high, until its run in this will happen then the fuel will level off more. Ragging it when new will kill it. Definatly not recommended.

Drive it conservatively for about 1000-1250 miles to be safe.

yeh i guess im gonna have to do another 400 or so of granny driving then, bette to be safe than sorry!

i did about 1500miles of run in on the supra...

redlined it i 1st once (by mistake....)

It was an auto and i thought it was in D... i just kept gradualy accelerating, then a loud back fire as i hit the limiter.... whoops :lol:

it says 600 miles in the manual for the 1.2 corsa c mate btw

well another 400 or so miles of granny driving won't hurt too much.

lol, oh, ive only done 600 odd since i got it last monday!

play it safe around 1250-1500 miles

i remember when the corsa C SRi first came out, some lad near where i am must of literally had it about 2 days, was raggin the arse off it & blew the bottom end :lol:
