I put roughly 90 miles a day on my 3rd gen 3s / E153 LSD combo.
the only thing I hate about driving the car daily is the clutch, I went with a clutch a little too aggressive for street, but I'm planning on replacing it this spring --------------------  |

60-70 miles a day on my Beams swap. N/A is so easy to take care of vs the turbo, atleast for a newbie like myself

Mine's a DD, but I work from home so I don't put too many miles on her. I've done 5,000km in almost a year!
The girlfriend's car sees a lot more of the road. -------------------- |

I also daily drive my celica, is around 90 miles a day getting and average of 26 miles per galon with mixed good commuter days / traffic and enjoyable driving days. no problems / complains here.
as long as you take your time and do ANY swap properly and the right way, you shouldn't have a problem driving it everyday, I mean, OEM'ish swaps, not the 700 WHP 3sgte monster builds lol. and even those can be some what daily driveable lol -------------------- |
