DD, 50+ mile roundtrip - including battling the awful streets and hills of SF

Trettiosjuan · 02-02-2014, 04:29 AM

Only car. Love driving it*, but I do try to replace boring commute trips with bicycling* and long distance with train, driving everywhere is not an end in itself for me. Will see some track occasionally but won't modify for that purpose as it's fine as is for the many twisty and bumpy back roads and otherwise speed limits where I live. A faster car would mean less time having fun...

*all year round

I live in ohio weather has been pretty cold but I don't drive too much during the negative degree cold. I plan to stay on 93 pump and 300whp.

I daily mine here in Nova scotia. 50 trim @ 13 psi 91 pump.

With the Delicious tune, it runs and drives better than stock at all temperatures. The Fullblown kit has been flawless.

This combo makes the car feel stock turbocharged.

Good to hear! I've heard so many people say it runs better than stock. I am probably going fa20club 60 trim with an fa20club tune on 93 pump. I want to be right around 300whp on 6.5-7.5psi

Yup. 7 days a week. Check my sig for mods.

bought it as my DD last tuesday. Haven't been able to drive it since last thursday due to not having snow tires. until the snow stops, my RSX is still my DD

AVodka14 · 02-02-2014, 04:26 PM

DD as of 2 weeks ago after selling my tC. The FRS sat in the garage during crappy weather for almost 2 years. It sucks to see it get salt, ice, and snow all over it now. Oh well, I love the car so I am going to drive it!

HSayaovong · 02-02-2014, 05:31 PM

Not currently my DD, I probably put about 4k on it in the last 9 months though so that's pretty impressive. Planing to go with the JRSC when the weather warms up a bit.. Haven't tracked it but would love to one day.

ClifraJones · 02-02-2014, 09:56 PM

DD 112m commute. Love it even when I'm going 5mph in ATL traffic. No kids, but my grandsons love "papa's awesome sports car". Whenever we need to drive both boys around or lug stuff we use the wife's '05 Xb (which only has 60k miles on it).

merino_frs · 02-09-2014, 08:36 PM

I've been DD mine for about 5 months (bought it in october 2013) and i have already put 10k miles

i might pick up a new daily in a month or so and just use the frs as a weeknd car!! i just hate seeing all the miles rack up

dnieves · 02-09-2014, 08:52 PM

Weekend or vacation car (as long as it doesn't rain too much or snow at all).

Are you a registered nurse?

funwheeldrive · 02-09-2014, 09:44 PM

I haven't picked up mine yet but it will replace my prelude as a DD. Gotta love Napa valley weather.

My FR-S is my one and only car, so by default it's my DD.
