i do for the last 5 mothns ive onwed it...
M2 intake, ASP medium SMIC, RB exhaust, DP, Hi flow cat, PFC, Tokico shocks, Eibach springs...no problems yet except for the battery

 

I daily my FD during the late spring to late fall months, ie, March to November, but thats it, winter months shes stored away in a nice warm (ish) garage.

 

u got it all wrong sunny go read some faqs

 

I use to DD my FD, rather drive it at night and on weekends. I love it, it's a blast just don't want to get tired of it.

 

I did for a short time. I don't like putting miles on her for stupid BS errands. not to mention the horrific gas mileage. I found an old honda and have been using that since.

 

I semi DD mine. If i wake up and feel like driving it, i drive it. If i dont, my wife takes me to work, cause its pretty much on her way.

What do you guys consider "DD" how many miles are we talking about. If i drive mine to work and back, its only about 10miles.

 

I used to DD mine but my family has always had 2x the amount of cars per drivers so I always had a backup. It really depends on your situation and what you need a DD for.

If you are a kid and can bum rides, show up places late or not at all then you could prolly DD any FD. If you have a job or other important places to be I would find something reliable.

 

I daily drive mine everrryyy day no trouble as of it! But I do tend to work on it, putting it out for a couple of days, and use my other car just for back up. My FD is stock.

 

I've put 3000 miles in the past 1 month alone. My car burns no oil, runs on a single turbo, and has a huge VMIC. The killer is that it gets 13-17mpg.

I have no reservations commuting in my car whatsoever. I would drive from SF to LA or SD with no hesitation (aside from lack of AC, can't have it all).

 

DD in the summer.

Mods listed below.

It 'hibernates' from November-March/April due to SNOW and SALT

 

my question is who doesnt DD their fd? Ive been daily driving mine for 5 years, its just a car....

 

JUST a car? wow your gonna get flamed xD

 

it is just a car but its not a car you want to take to a mall parking lot or anything. i bet you would feel like crap if you walk back to your car and find a nice dent or key mark..etc.. i would know it happen to me on the third month i had the car, came out of a best buy, parked away from everyone and still ended up getting backed into i think.. (hit and run) and had a lil dent on the front right bumper. didnt notice till i got home... and all i thought was i wish i had my dodge neon that got hit..

 

i DD my FD.

i've owned it for a year now; i autocrossed it 4 times over the summer in 100 degree heat, i've made 40+ 1/4 mile passes in it.

the key to DD'ing a high performance car is to make SURE everything is sorted out on it (ie, no boost leaks, bad tuning, etc.) and everything is kept up with (meticulous oil changes, coolant flushes, spark plugs). and on the FD this is of course assuming that all the reliability mods have been done (downpipe, radiator, ast, etc)

rotaries -even turbo ones!- can be as reliable as any other car out there if you take care of them. as to whether or not you should or shouldn't daily-drive an FD, its all about your lifestyle and how you take care of the car.

 

^well said. I just got my FD about 6 months ago and its been my DD ever since. It has all the reliability mods done and i baby it close to an obsession......ok it is an obsession haha. But i do have a back up that i drive when i need to get some where in a hurry (that way i dont have to wait for warm up etc...) or save some gas/not put unecessary miles on it.

It brings a smile to my face just looking at it....**** actually just thinking about it, how could you not want to drive it as much as possible? I love my car and as long as i keep it well maintained, i will continue to drive it daily

 

I daily drove mine up until 2 days ago. Found a sweet *** 96 Nissan Sentra for 1200 bucks and 92XXX miles that i daily drive now. Bought it from some old lady. Rx-7 will be strictly for nice days now.

 

I DD mine with having to top off coolant every 50 miles and bad oil seals on teh twins. Just a few more parts to aquire before my rebuild =) I'm trying to find a DD myself looking for a cheapo 4 cyl pick-up or Miata

 

DD for almoust a year now. PFC, downpipe, cat-back and intake.
Only had 1 problem that was when the water-pump failed (detected it on time, no dmg done)

 

drove mine everyday for the past 4 years, only have cb, dp, and intake.

 

I'm coming up on a year now, the only thing that would stop me is if it was not running, a bad storm, or snow.

 

I DD mine all last winter because my honda DD went under, and I didn't have time to fix it. Sadly, the FD went under and my honda works great. I can never seem to keep both cars running at the same time.

 

DD for past 2 years. Not much problems until i messed things up =) Dont redline often, car treats me well other than gas =)

 

here's my current DD:



fixed gear, no brakes, hell yes

 

well, in that case... Id shoot the honda in the face!

 

seems like a lot of guys here run their FD's as DD's. This is encouraging to me, because a lot of other times I've read people say to not use it as a DD and to have a back-up car. Just more reason for me to pull the trigger on getting one...
