I was wondering why you had three links and I couldn't get them to work.... I'm assuming you edited that post, cause now it actually opens a page.

is it "how do you drive it" or "how do you like to drive it"?? The cornering limits get pushed on most drives, but the engine only gets a really good workout on weekends...

Revving the **** out of your car everytime you are starting from a stand still or speeding up is so gay imho. No wonder most of you guys get such shitty gas milage..

My only problem is that I can't get my mpg below 15. That's right, I said below. All gas, all brake, edge of adhesion all the time.

I would love to shift at redline, but since my 5/6 ports are screwed up, it's just wasting fuel trying to shift at that rpm.

so 4k is about what I do for now..... until I get it fixed

Easy driving until she warms up, no more then 3-4k. After that its more easy driving. At the end....umm..more easy driving. Only on the weekend do I once and a while get her up to the 6k+. I tend to drive my car pretty easy and keep her is good shape.

I'm building an engine this winter, and as soon as it goes in, the other one gets built, so I'll always have a spare ready to pop in. Don't baby her. She loves to play. Maker her scream.
