Just a quick question Options

[Bricy]

I was just wondering if doing 80+ mph daily is going to hurt my engine in some way. My commute to work is 60 miles round trip. Just wanted to make sure I'm not going to hurt anything

[Culpable04]

as long as you do the proper maintenance on the car, it should be just fine.

[Bricy]

sweet. Yeah I'm pretty anal about oil changes and changing spark plugs, is there anything else I need to worry about?

[forkee]

worry about your tires. going at such a high rate of speed for an extended period of time wears them out faster than doing the speed limit. check tire pressure every time you fill up your gas and make sure tread is good.

the guys above pretty much said it all... although i try not to go above 75 because i feel uncomfortable with the high rpm - on a manual at least

the higher RPM driving will eventually cause the car to burn oil. you'll notice it going through a lot more oil than it used to.

here's my thread about the problem I'm having: http://www.6gc.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=44346&hl=

Jeremy (alltracman78) gives a lot of good info and pretty much explains how bruning oil is almost a normal thing if you do a lot of high RPM driving

If you get the engine warm first (first 6 miles not above 2500 rpm) and then raise the speed abit untill you reach 80mph you should be fine. Especially when changing oil often.

About the Tyres with forkee said. I can vouch for that Only been 14000 km (roughly 9000 miles) and now I already need to replace the front tyres. Guess 255BHP and alot of sprinting (40-110mph etc etc) will hurt your tyres greatly
