Hey i was just wondering how many people with boosted hondas use them as there daily drivers, basically meaning that it is the only car you own. Also how much boost are you running on a daily basis. Im planning on eventually going the turbo route with my 95 gsr, and was just wondering if there are any issues that you have had to deal with, driving your turbo honda everyday.
thanks

 

bump for you!

 

I think you'll find most of the people here daily drive their turbo honda, I have for most of the time I've had mine, with the exception of winter. I wouldn't recommend having it be your only car though.

 

I drive mine everyday, to work, school, everywhere. Since this time last year and about 15k miles now today, no problems.

 

thanks for the input anyone else?

 

best advise.

 

this is my only car so, i drive it to school, work, to run errands, etc. my original plan was to have a true daily driven, full interior, full exhaust, LS turbocharged hatch in the 10's.

but, having a daily driven turbocharged honda isn't practical because, of theft, cops and breakdowns.

i'm fortunate enough to have other alternatives of transportation i.e. parent's or girlfriend's car.

 

i drive one... an accord and i get groceries with it

 

i have a single cam banger that boosted and i run 7.5 psi all day everyday 366 days a year (leap year) in sum years... my only prob so far was the oil feed line creating a hole in itself...

 

my daily driven vehicle
before : stock=9psi
now : built = 15+ psi

 

driven everywhere b18b turbo @ 7 PSI... goin strong for about 3 days so far

 

Daily driven! Whats that!?

 

i drive my car everyday on 94 octane boosting 14psi. Getting to work is fun!

 

b18c1 - .5 bar daily commuter 2k miles going strong

 

i drive mine daily. It's my only car. 10psi on pump gas. I try to stay out of boost most of the time so there is less wear and tear, but you got to have alittle fun. Like another person said, you don't want it as your only car, just go out and buy something cheap, that's what i'm doing.

 

same here except mine has only been 10K. i definitely want to get some kind of beater or something. i don't like putting a lot of miles on my baby.

 

check my sig! every day except for when there is snow on the ground of the dmv is digging in my ***! still going strong for 10 months. but a beater is effinitly in the near future.

 

I stay in vacuum most of the time driving around. I also drive a truck due to the cops in my area.

when im boosting, im buying a pos hatch or some honda that i can fit at least 2 people and cargo. i hate driving the streets around here in the rain. the bad parts in the road grab my little crx and take it wherever it wants togo.

 

I drve mine daily at 10.5lbs. I also deliver pizzas in it, I don't have any probs but I have a couple of other cars just in case.

 

I used to drive my car around everyday, and everywhere. Now, just scared of my car getting stolen.

Cant even take it to work.... My friends 97 JDM Civic Hatch (Type R everything...motor, suspension, wheels, interior w/recaros, etc..) was stolen at daylight around 10:30am on a Monday.

Crazy.

But if it wasnt for cars getting stolen that easily around my way, I would drive it everywhere and everyday.

 

I use to drive mine daily, but I would not reccommned have it as the only car unless you really took your time in doing the turbo set up.

daily driven d16y8 turbo. only car, driven to work, school, etc. thinking bout buying a crx or hatch to put it in and buying myself a b18c for this car. have had no serious problems though since oct 2002

 

If your going to have a turbo Honda you might as well drive it everyday.

 

110 miles a day/30 mpg. 2 1/2 years 6psi daily, occasional 10psi, 91 Octane gas, stock B16a
