    Finally got my DCSB yesterday!
    Super White / TRD Sport. Had All-Weather flooring installed, which is pretty nice.

    Drove off the lot at 3 miles on the ODO.
    Now at 55.
    A bit bummed/paranoid that I had to floor it twice while on the highway heading home from the dealership. I know the owners manual says 'no sudden acceleration' for the first 1000 miles. :(

    Otherwise, I'm pretty happy! :D

    It will be fine, you can floor it all you want. Just don't go crazy and try to top it out on the first day.

    Welcome . I would worry about brakes more than anything let them break in to hopefully prevents squeeks/ hot spots on rotors. :cool: Good Luck

    Haha thanks fellas.
    I'm sure it will be fine -- engine break-in is such a fuzzy topic.
    I'm not really sure how Toyota defines "sudden acceleration" -- I was already at about 50 MPH when I opened the throttle to merge. I think the needle got up to 5000-6000 RPM *shrug*
    No point in worrying about it. I'll drive it moderately as much as I can.

    Welcome!! :cool:
    You should be ok. Why did you have to floor it? I've heard manufacturers break in engines now at the factory. I'm not sure if this is true or not. Either way I babied mine for the first 10,000km. I still baby her but don't mind driving with some pepper some days either now that she has some XP. ;)

    In short: Semi Trucks and 5PM rush-hour. Merging can be cut-throat!
    At least it sounded great :rolleyes:

    HAH - Don't tempt me! my wallet just gave you an angry look.

    I already have wet okoles ready to put on from the recent group buy, and I ordered some armor from RCI in Colorado.

    I'll probably start a different thread for the build... heaven help me

    I believe that would be defined as a 4000rpm neutral drop. :D
