i do every day, as long as the engine is maintained and oil changes are done early you should be fine.

letting your car warm up before spirited driving also helps

ps dont miss gears.

the factory limiter is where its at for reliability reasons, there's plenty fo guys who have raised the limiter na tuned and boosted to 8500+ rpms

that breaking up noise is normal... you should ahve heard my last car when it screamed at 9800 rpms... sounded like it was going to blow up every time but i still hit the limiter on the daily and ran that redline for about a year (40k miles) with a less advanced engine than the FA20.

the fuel rails, valve train, and other components are pretty resilient in our engines and DI only helps with reliability (at stock power levels).

EDIT im still stock for now and ive ran it hard every day for the last 30k+ miles when i blow mine up ill let ya know lol...

Fortunately it's not. Why do people say irregardless and not just regardless...?

Such an erection for correction always changes the direction.

Correct, this is not a grammar forum, however there exists a need to communicate clearly and effectively and to be understood easily. Differences in writing style are rarely major differences in grammar and mechanics, rather differences in word choice, idioms/colloquialisms, etc. Sorry, but not everything is as easily/quickly customizable as the BRZ/FR-S, like language conventions.

The website has plenty of answers to the first question in quotes. YMMV.

You're on point about writing style, swag, YOLO. I viewed the link. My generation (22 here)
can't read or write well because we spend the majority of our time on cell phones and take pride in apathy. In conclusion, I don't care.

BTW, the last post was JK LOL. eye can reed and right good.

sorry for misspelling.....and thanks for the reassurance. however reading up on the "injector leaking" problem is only worrying me more. i am going to take it slow for a while.

Only 8k so far, but I beat the shit out of that FA20 regularly. As others have said, early oil change and keep well maintained.
