Well, I have 76k miles on my original engine, and Im starting to be easier on the engine so as to get as many miles out of it as I can. I still hold 17 vacuum at idle, steady idle, and it pulls strong *** hell. Now, should I just run the thing normally, with spirited driving left and right since it will blow up eventually anyway? or just take it easy on her, and only drive her hard when I need to. Or do a little of both maybe?

what do u all think?

 

Since you figure it's going to go soon, I say you drive it like it was meant to be driven. Easy at times, but get on it when you have to. An honorable death at the very least, is the way to go.

 

all depends on your wallet

 

Usually being "too cautious" is worse than anything. Just drive the car and perform your normal maintanence routine.

Kicking the carbon out of the car every now and then is a good thing.

 

is all about the wallet. I say, DRIVE, DRIVE, DRIVE...isn't that why you got the car?

Of course if you can't afford to fix it if you break it, you might want to DRIVE, DRIVE, DRIVE her a little gentler...

Drive it to the ground, baby!

 

I hate polls.

Drive it like you stole it. Just make sure it is completely warmed up before boost - that means 15 minutes of GENTLE driving. Change your oil every 1500 miles. An "Italian tuneup" every couple of weeks is a good thing.

Don't worry, be happy.
