ahh ok thanks again

The counting of the numbers shall be 10.

Five is right out.

No problem letting loose sometimes. I generally keep the car under 4k but all depends on the mood. I will push the car a little when I find a nice curvy road. Otherwise I drive normally. No need to be Fast and the Furious in our cars. Let the Civics rice on by trying to get you to race them.

So many people hide behind the Internet mask.

It's an odd day when I don't hit 8200 rpms

I normally keep my RPM's at 4-4,500 unless I want better gas mileage or to keep it quiet. I also change my oil early as hell too depending on how abusive I've been. Haven't had any negative effects yet but we'll see. With proper maintenance I don't think there will be an issue driving it either way.

Thanks for the info. I've been wondering because there are certain engines (diesel, certain Porsche engines) which get seal problems if you don't run it hard. It's not that I don't want to gun it. It's just that this is my daily driver, and I go long periods commuting without high revving. I just wanted to make sure this was ok. To be safe, I'd probably better intentionally wring it out in the weekends

Um, no. The question is not how to rev. The question is whether this engine needs it time to time

[tracerit]

generally how long after a start do you guys ring it out? i usually shift at max 4k for the first five minutes after start then start shifting at 5k.

[marky]

got tot let her breath sometimes

me shifting at 3k this is a car you can drive 100% most the time on the streets thats what i also love about it and still good on gas

[BRZfan]

Um, OK...
Based upon the level of knowledge one seems to have (which is OK-everybody has to learn) I believe one will benefit from the additional knowledge. It may not answer the specific question but knowledge never hurts provided one uses it intelligently. Just trying to help dude. Just keep it up to and/or under the redline as indicated on the tachometer.

Short answer: yes.

Long answer: yes.

Honestly, sometimes I worry that if I don't redline the car once in awhile, I feel that the performance will degrade over time. Semi true since the ECU adjusts itself based on driving style. Probably no evidence to it though.
