dont race your car just yet though because it's like just getting the motor redone. i would baby it for a few hundred miles

I drove a Tc, focus, and a rabbit when I was looking for a new daily a while back. I liked the rabbit and focus a hell of a lot more than the Tc...it was slow. Stock they're 160hp/162tq and front wheel drive.... If you can't beat that, you should probably let someone else drive your car.

I ran my new motor pretty hard after about 10-20 miles and it seems to be breaking in (or have broken in) just fine. Give it a little time around town and it should be good to go.

you'll win, even if he has the basic I/H/E combo. he shouldn't be that hard to take care of.

Also...It's a Tc...are you sure the driver is a guy?[8D]

I raced one of those (sort of) in my '84. I won shifting at 3800 rpms and i hadn't even realized he was trying to race me till about 50 yards from the signal... took it up to about 80 and was pulling on him so i decided to let off.

my only kill... apart from my buddy's 4-banger tacoma. but anyways yeah the scions are pretty slow.

Thats the worst thing to do to a new engine.
Need to flog the shyt out of it to seat rings properly.
just make sure its warmed up properly first.

Hey man i had one pull up next to me at a stop light. I hurd a blow off valve so im assuming it was a turbo. The light changed and i spun through second gear and still had two car lengths with in 60 foot. If Iwould of had new tires it would have been alot worse and my 5.0 isn't crazy moded i don't think you'll have a problem Good luck!!
