Why drive it like you stole it?
 
Is it actually better for the car to drive it hard? Im going to be the first to baby mine :D No going over 4000 rpm lol jk :Freak_ani

because engine replacements suck

NoTears316 02-08-2007 03:42 PM

It's actually important to rev it to high RPMs every so often. If you dont you will experience something similar to carbon lock.

mysql101 02-08-2007 03:45 PM

also the mazda fairy will beat you senseless for buying this car and driving it like a mustang

High RPM's blow the carbon out of the engine

rev it up, it's more fun

:wavey: Good luck with your new engine(s)


You want to redline at least once a day. Clears out the carbon build-up.

If you want to go the extra mile and really make the engine last you need to redline through all gears at least twice a week. :wink2:

Who's going to look after my car while I'm 'away'?

Seriously, don't by an RX8 if you aren't going to rev it up. It's not much of an engine below 4K but it's a blast over 5K!

I was kidding. I plan on driving the shit out of it. :D

If it was not for my fuel cutoff, I'd have several new engines by now. I hammer it quite often.

Not the mazda fairy! The ROTARY fairy!

My favorite part of the warm up process is the prize at the end. 9kRPMs is a blast.
