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.

 

How many miles on your rebuild so far ?

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 ******* 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.

 

Theres probably around 9k on the rebuild atm. It definitely makes the car feel "tighter" when taking off, if that makes any sense.

 

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.

 

Do you have any pics of how it is installed ?

 

I will post a pic tomorrow.

 

when trying to be nice to it i shift below 3k...but everyday i generaly redline it a fewtimes a day...but now my brakes(i think) are making an odd noise...it sounds like a tire is unbalanced..but ill have to check it out sometime(prolly this weekend because i work 2nd)im guessing its from brake tourqein in

 

If they are grinding like metal on metal then you probably need new brake pads , maybe new rotors as well (if the brake pedal vibrates when you hit the brakes the rotors are warped).

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.

 

+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!!

 

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
