14 6mt w/ 147xxx miles, engine never been cracked open, catless headers stock front & mid pipes, tuned on OFT stage 2. Anticipated starting from a stage 2 91 tune OTS since quality 93 is not likely avaialble in future location. Don't intend to swap back to stock header but can if ultimately needed & start from a 91 stage 1 tune.

thinking of handing down my gen1 to my kid to go away to school. It just kinda makes the most financial sense, and gives me space for a gen 2! but he's already gotten in a bit of trouble in his short driving career, thus my question.



Thank you for any advice, not in a rush, looking to possibly make the switch this summer.


EDIT: for clarification, owned since 2k mi, so im the only one to have abused it in the past. been absolutely reliable, except that darn squeaky TOB got changed w/ fresh clutch pack. the desire for longevity was a function of reducing the pedal percentage & max rpm. possibly pulling some timing somehow. was reading restricting air flow could also cut power, but didn't know if that was a better route than remap tune.

Just run a stage 1 tune and limit the speed governor to 95 mph, no harm no foul until you can trust him.
