On average, one track weekend a month, on R-comp tires (much harder on suspension and drivetrain), and daily driven, in Colorado, with snow and rain (snow tires for the winter) Oh, twin turbo'ed via JWT as well.

I dont like calling it beating on, but i do drive it hard.




I have a 93 civic as a daily driver/ beater .. its amazing on gas.

But now each time i get in my g it feels like a new car if i havent driven it in a few days. Icant resist.

Since day one, i beat the crap out of my G sedan.

I do not pamper this car, i have ripped the interior out already to do some wiring.

So far, the car is holding up pretty good after 8,000kms (of which 90% is red line shifting ) auto tranny.

We'll see, i had very bad luck with VQ's

these cars were made to be beaten, like a bad child, i know from experience cuz i have a 60,000 mile warranty and i do donuts(while doing U-Turns), and ive taken the car to its limit by going about 140 on the freeway just to see what happens when u punch the car, and i never worry about the car not starting your paranoid if you think that

my 6mt 04 has about 55,000 miles on it now. and still running strong. its been through dead stop runs. 40 50 60 kicks. lol. my favorite is taking it on the back roads. i got stillen says, gt spec braces, stillen rear strut bar. buddy club racing spec dampers. etc. I love taking the corners. it stays flat. Also on and off ramps are so much better.

I have an 04 5AT...a few mods here and there; always drive in tiptronic mode.
The only reason I don't burn out as much as I wish I could is because I can't afford the tires lol.

Other than that, I beat it pretty good.

Whenever it snows here, I go outside start the car up, turn off traction and stability and go have some fun. The car rides just fine.

Although I can count the number of times I've redlined it on one hand. The only reasons I have redlined it are because when my friends first got in my car they go "woah...you have paddle shifters? this car has a 7500 RPM redline?", then look at me like I don't have a choice but to demonstrate what both are like.

+1 on that. Seriously find some nice empty parking lot... turn off the VDC and go do some donuts - you'll have loads of fun... unless you're on the premium sports package with very expensive tires...
