What 's the farthest you have driven your turbo Honda or Acura on a road trip
I talking about mileage in excess of 500 not daily 70 mile commutes. I am asking because I'm going to drive my car 700 miles this month(New Orleans to Louisville, KY. Any tips from those who have done long trips before would be great.

Re: What 's the farthest you have driven your turbo Honda or Acura on a road trip (Vonte')
Well then you asked the right person. I drive the hell out of my car and texas is a huge state. Ive driven from far north(dallas) to south texas which is about 400 each way(I didnt go all the way south). But Im Mr. Road trip guy and I take my car everywhere. You will love your car on the highway and you will also notice that you will do better on gas. I recomend you do it...

well i took a road trip that was about 400 miles... it was fun, only next time i will have my exhaust silencer in... by the time i reached my destination, my ears did not function quite right. 
I went all that way and still had a good amount of gas left... didn't know a supercahrged car would have such good gas mileage!

I did a two week road trip with my Greddy set and we drove over 3,000 miles! That included cruising everynight and going to a 1/8 mile track in Florida. I wouldn't wanna do the same thing with my new set!

i drove 1250 miles to Minnesota, then 1320 to upstate NY and then 630 back to Virginia Beach. All within a two week span. Plus I routinely drive the car to Upstate on the weekends.

Re: What 's the farthest you have driven your turbo Honda or Acura on a road trip (pellie)
Not a turbo, but I drove from The Big Easy to Meridian, MS back accross through LA and into Houston then from Houston back to the Big Easy. All on 8# boost. I stayed at 80-90 mph. It was one of the longest and coolest trips I've ever done in a weekend.
