Reliability mods only, in the main.

I've PM'ed Dale Clark for some viton check valves, bought an aluminium AST from KINETIK_FD3S.....it's going to be my daily driver so I'm ensuring it'll be reliable.

We think differently.

I wouldn't waste it by leaving it in the garage.

If you were married to Miss Universe, would you just bone her on sunny weekends??!!

I agree, you should drive it everyday if you want, and can do it.

I have a 2001 Miata, and i drive a 1994 R32 V-SPEC II as a company demo car. The miata is supposed to be my car, and my daily use car. I drive the R32 to work (granted its only 10 mins away) , i cannot avoid it. The car was purchased to drive, enjoy, modify and repeat process.

I am working on a 99 or 00 Type R bathurst, i will sell the miata, and make that my main car. No snow out in cali too.

-Nice car

You are absolutely right.

Living in Peru is a completely different scenario for me since there's no replacement in case something happens to my FD or Z's...If something bad happen to any of them, I already know it's the end and there's no chance to have another one, at least I move to another country where you can get another one...That sucks.

I use to DD my white 300ZX TT until I realized there's only 4 TT's in my whole country...Since them I just try to keep them safe at home and use them when I want to enjoy them (2 - 3 times a week), more than just to go to my job...The good thing is that now I enjoy it more everytime I go out with it.

Sorry for the rant.

Glad to hear you are one of the few who will DD your RZ Gomez. I dd my 380whp FC and FD and love every moment of it. There are way too many FD's that sit in a garage all thier life, and to me, thats a waste.

Thought i should share my most recent addition to my garage.
This has always been a dream car of mine, and i was so nervous when i was finally pulling into my driveway.

The car didn't run when i bought it, but after a few tweaks, this is a picture of the first drive. It falls flat on its face past 7psi, so i still have some work to do.

93 Touring w/ R1 lip and spoiler.
