Newbie from Melbourne

Hello there everybody! I've decided to join this forum because I'm gonna be a Rcolt owner in a few days time, ha! Can't wait to get my itchy hands on those leather steering wheels.. Long live the ralliart owners!

Welcome aboard look forward to hearing from you post up a pic of your new Rcolt when you take delivery.

Make sure you ask your Ralliart dealer "Where can I get the tyres from for my Rcolt please join the partition on this site as we can not buy the AD07's in Australia and the manufacturer states it's a 3 month wait (Yerr Right Mait)

Just imagine no tyres for your car!!!

Will do. Thanks for the reminder..

Welcome welcome! Good to see a melbourner here! What color did you get? remember to take some pics and show us.

Last but not least, come back to this forum and help it grow. RColt Rules :D

I chosed a white one. I reckon it makes all the black trimmings stand out. And besides, I have'nt seen a white ralliart driven around in Melbourne (maybe its just me), I could be color blind sometimes, he he he... But yeah, cant wait to gallop on it once its in.

So how many nutters are there in Melb? Just picked mine up 4 days ago, only done 600km since...trying to get the kms up so i can give it the boot for the first time. How long did everyone wait til they gave there's a flogging? Ive had some people tell me to wait til 5000km...i cant wait that long! Although driving at low revs is teaching me to keep it under the speed limit!

Well, everyone do their run in differently. But from some articles i seen, it was mentioned that modern engine don't need to run in. And in fact you should thrash it hard in the initial few thousand ks. Hence i taken a half half approach.
