I drive my FD everyday to work and back, only had 1 problem, and it was only due to a clutch fork wearing out on me because I have over 120,000 miles on my car, other than that, I drive it everyday, at about 17psi of boost pressure(when needed) on 93 octane, no problems.

hey

I had my RX7 as a daily driver for about 3 yrs. i had got it used with 65,000 miles and in 3 yrs i got it up to 98,000 miles. No real problem doing this if your car is in good shape. I though mine was and as i used it daily i notived things needed to be replaced such as clutch, radiator, hoses, sensors, belts, and turbos eventually. So it did cost me alot as a daily friver but if your car is in good shape it will be fine. I have my integra daily driver now but i hardly use it as much as i should because the rx7 is so much better to drive

I've had two FD's as daily drivers (both purchased new) and accumulated a total of almost 160,000 miles with no MAJOR issues, but lots of normal and preventative maintenance.
