Having said that, whenever someone pops up asking if you can DD an FD, more then likely they don't have the financial means or the mechanical savy to make it possible. If they did, they wouldn't be trying to grasp some tiny bit of comfort/reassurance/ray hope out of people's responses.

Therefore, if you have to ask - no.
LOL, Im sure I have both of those requirements. Just wanted to know how they did driven daily. Ive heard alot of horror story's about FDs dropping motors after 30,000-50,000 miles (Im sure its due to bad driver+Bad tuning or maybe there just not street cars). Its good to here about the DD with 100,000+ miles.

bad maintenance cause a lot of them, bad tuning, and overboosting (you will always see questions where someone is boost spiking 12+psi with simple bolt-ons and **** so you get my drift.)

Take care of it, keep up on maintenance, don't overboost or over-mod it!
