I personally drive the crap out of my car. If you're going to put a mile on the car make it a good mile. My buzzer (redline) is going off alllllll the time. Havnt had any issues. I cant complain at all. I have drivin all the cars I have had HARD.
Im not trying to brag or anything, but I think the people that are take it super easy on their cars are just being super over protective. Personally i feel my rx7 WANTS to play, and I feel sorry for it when I have a girl in the car that doesn't think it's that good of an idea. I would have to say I redline the most in first gear either because the wheels get loose or Im just lazy and wait for the buzzer. *shrug* I MAY be asking for a rebuild soon, but I would rather rebuild every 2 years then drive like a grandma. |
i redline my car every time i shift gears BOOYEAH!!

^^^ +1
i have a 87 NA an i drive it like its stolen.. redline it whenever i figure i can get away with it.. redline in 4th.. its a buzz. i have found that the harder i drive it the better it seems to run, and the more i seem to smile. i mean if u never get over 3500 how are u supposed to truely enjoy the spirit of the 7 |
daily driving when im goin for mpg i usually shift around 3200...but once its warmed up i've been known to tap the red with regularity...especially if retardedspleen is around cuz you cant just drive with him...everythings a freakin race, lol.

I usually shift around 6k normally (the bitch doesnt start pulling till 5.5k) and I make sure to redline 4 or 5 times a day minimally.

What do you think of the engine torque brace ? I have a front strut bar, would you still be able to install this if you have a front strut bar it looks like it attaches to the strut tower. If it doesnt attach to the strut tower how does it install ? Do you have a pic? |
I as well drove mine like i stole it. I dont regret it but so far i really fucking miss it. I'm pretty sure my issue was with the fuel though. I had alot of rust in the tank and it kept clogging the sock and the filter.

My Vert get's the standard everyday driving. Easy, normal, hard, abusive and a few redlines several times a week.
My Turbo gets out only a few times a month but when it does it gets the same but with alot more redlines. |

If anything else it could be the tires out of balance like you said, a bad alignment, or one of your tires could have a bubble in it. |

GG +1 except its not a dd, I use it on the weekends :) |
a redline a day keeps atkins away.... but i generally redline 2 to 5 times a day, but i dont drive my 7 everyday. spirited driving, i keep it around 4500 and 6000, in neighbor hoods and stuff i will cruise in 5th at like 1500. that makes my 7 get better gas milage than my honda
|
ive got 75k on my mazda reman and i hit 8k in it at least once a day and it still runs like a champ
|
i usualy shift at 2500-3000 to keep it quiet from the cops and save gas . but when its clear I open it!! :ylsuper:
|
Normal driving I'll probably shift at 3k-3.5k, before the aux. ports open.
But, that being said, I'll usually redline it every time I drive it too. That's what it was built for, right? When I go backroad driving, the car will see much time between 5-7k rpms |
