congrats....very nice accomplishment.....now i want to know how hard you drive it...track events..how often you see vtec etc.. ??

 

Wow son

 

Congrats!! It's nice to see how reliable this car is.

 

I will let him personally chime in here, but last time we talked about the 200k milestone, he said he hits 9k every time he drives it!!!!

 

Thanks for the compliments guys. Different sections of the car have been painted at different times so paint is a little bit of a sore subject with me. Paint matching Spa is difficult.

I don't drive the car as aggressively as I used to but I do definitely full throttle vtec 1st through 3rd a few times a day getting on the freeways. Most of the mileage is highway, but with the 4.77 gearing the rpms will be @ 5k or above for hours on the highway. Before I moved back to AZ, I spent about 3 years in a mountain community in SoCal driving 30+ miles of canyon a day. Google map "Running Springs, California" to see the roads I used to enjoy the car on.

I don't abuse the car though. I don't dump the clutch and do smokey burnouts. I do however enjoy letting the rear slide around every Uturn that I make. My trips to Vegas require a lot of passing in oncoming traffic so the car does see quite a few full throttle 55-1xx mph passes.

 

 

Congrats bud!

 

thats great man!
i dont know why i want to get a lower mileage one when i am only at 57k

 

You deserve a badge!
