Question: Can this thing be de tuned a bit to be able to be daily driven without removing much of the parts.

will a tune be enough or will i have to do more? and how much is a tune. with a tune can it be reliable?

any advice to give for daily driving something like this?

 

You're looking for answers that cannot possibly be given with any accuracy over the internet. You'll need to have the car taken to a shop and pay a few dollars to have it checked over. If it's running rough, it could be a bad tune or it could be some bent valves and that could cost you a lot of money. Once you can assess the health of the car and see that it's good, the next step would be to have it tuned by a good tuner. Daily driving would be a piece of cake after that.

 

Thats a start, i appreciate your help. So i should have it taken to a shop and let them take a look at it then. Thx.
