mine is and sometimes when i think about it i wish i had another car as a daily driver.

my car runs great, it is tuned and runs clean as hell but i think about if i would ever blow the motor i would be hurting for transportation. i am in the airforce too so i move around alot so its not like i can easily own two cars.

2000 SiR

SMC+

About 40-50 miles a day. 3 inch exhaust and no resonator gets annoying on the freeway.

I bought an EF civic sedan for winter, and since it runs so good, I kinda consider it as my daily car. I won't take my integra somewhere such as a store or to college or to basically any place where I know its not safe. So many theives out there. I refuse to become another statistic of stolen turbo honda's.

Also, I do agree with freeway speeds with a 3" exhaust and no resonator. It does get loud and annoying. But then again, so does having a blow off valve. Sometimes I wish I didn't have it because its so annoying. My gas mileage is about 22-26 mpg depending on how much of a lead foot I have that day.

I drive mine everywhere(when everything is running right), I probably drive it too much. I drive to work everyday then go out every night. I always drive when with friends and if I am not doing anything I often just go for a drive. I guess at least 50-100miles every day. If I take it out on weekend to go crusing and racing its not uncommon to burn up a tank of gas. D Series motors are cheap and pretty easy to find locally so I am not worried about wear to much about wear on the motor. It is stressful when its down though because its my only car.


94 civic coupe dx 150,000 miles
stock d16z6 (been boosting this motor about 5 months, 100,000 miles on it)
garret t3 .63/.60
7psi (will be going higher soon)
dsm 450cc
vafc
modified starion intercooler
