Don't believe in abusing machinery. While I can commend you for the absolute change in driving habit it would take to drive in your manner at ALL times, I would have to state that I see "abuse" differently than you, I guess. I can't imagine the gunk built up on your secondaries (never been opened, you say), the wear your car WOULD see IF you ever took her that high, now (never been broken in, old materials now would wear something fierce!!), or the mileage reduction you "should" be getting from LACK of use. Considering the powerband of this engine, I would think that you'd be doing ALOT more harm than good driving it beneath the major portion of the powerband at all times. (not saying that you are killing your car.. that wasn't a fixed point of reference, more relative, actually.) Yeah, Ray you got a point. I had this on my old car, the original owners (who we bought it from) did not get on this car at all, I could tell because when my sister had it before me she would baby it and it'd run like crap, my dad told her not to baby the car so much she did a lot but got on it once in a while. When I got it that car DID NOT get babied (well it did when I first learned to drive) then it started opening up better but not like it should have, I even ran STP fuel injector cleaner thru it and it ran better after a few times. Blew out carbon from the exhaust like mad. DO NOT [Repeat] DO NOT ALWAYS BABY YOUR CAR! I've had my Stique for almost 3 years now, and it hardly ever gets babbied, and it runs great.
