Default Keep your engine efficient...

efficient:

a. Acting or producing effectively with a minimum of waste, expense, or unnecessary effort.
b. Exhibiting a high ratio of output to input.

Just as a reminder, you can have your car loaded with performance parts, but if your engine isn't running "efficiently", then most likey performance is lost, and wear and tear occurs.

I'm just bringing these points out into the open to let anyone know that it isn't just how money you have into an engine, but how properly it runs.

Tune-ups, fluids, random parts replaced when needed, such as PCV valve. i.e. Worn spark plugs has been dyno'd at a loss of up to 8 hp, x tq.

Much love to all the guys here, let's keep representing honda the "good way".

Please add to discussion.

Peace.

Excellent point. Even if you don't modify anything on your car you should keep it in top running condition. A little maintenence here and there and your honda will run forever.

This is probably the best advice you can give to anyone.
