Let it run for a few mins...then break it in the way you are going to drive it..and then post pics of you doing burnouts in front of your house...

how bout you have one of your senior buddy's record this said burnout so we can make sure the h/c/i sounds and runs good. Just to be sure a vid of the car in action will help us determine if you did a good job or not

if it where me, id let it warm up good. kill it for a few hours, then warm it up again (heat cycle could drive out leaks)


then id do a good burnout, bang through the gears a couple times, then change the oil.

500 miles, change the oil again.

1500 miles, change the oil.











but im parinoid of breaking vehicles in ever sence i bougt my old brand new car.

i waited till 1500miles to change the oil, looked into the drain pan, and it looked like you had droped a bucket of sparkles into the damn stuff, its the worst ive ever seen.........





idk, thats what i plan on doing, prob overkill but oh wel

im changing the oil right before i start it, so i dont think that will be necesary, but ill change it at 1500, im not that paranoid, and i dont want to buy it that often

trust me, on the test drive around the block (with a stop sign to test the first+second spin and 3rd chirp) ill have my buddy record it...
