well i would never sell this car after i am done with it it will be junk most likely i take great care of it the only bad this is a few tiny i mean small dents in the body that it had before i got it from a hail storm. the hoods paint it pealing from the heat the engine creates which is normal for a car not having that stupid insulation under the hood

I hear you .... my Accord was in beautiful shape the day before the tranny fell apart. Then I found that it was worth $6700 and the tranny was $2000. I wanted a smaller car that could handle better and also manual. Now I have my Scion ...... currently at 16,300 miles.

BTW- I don't think that you are pushing the car too hard in the video. Take a look at my 0-60 video ...... that's much harder, but the engine never had a problem. The 6th gen tranny lost it's lip seals.

94, I drive my car just as hard as you do, but I still would not buy yours. I'd rather buy a car from a grandma and trash it myself so at least I know how it was driven. I've put 40k on my car since it was passed down to me and I drive *somewhat* like that at some point nearly everyday. The engine still runs like the day I got it. It's your car, I'm not saying don't do it, I do it myself, but I do agree with j_man that your chances of something prematurely breaking skyrockets by driving in that manner. Enjoy! I know I do.

I will bet you 100 bucks it runs better than yours anyhow plus it is newer
We're noty bashing you, we're just stating facts. If you want a race car, build a race car. I would never run my daily driver that hard over once a week. Its cool to have fun every now and then but someday somethings gonna break if you drive daily at 5-6k RPMs.... If nothing tears up internally in your car in the following year, id be surprised... Just saying

j_man, 5-6k consistently or bursts? I like to mash the peddle and, obviously, will rev up to 6k in the process, but I don't drive down the freeway cruising at 6k...

is the sti driver the same thing as Escort's ZR7 shifter? Your rx65pro is basically the exact same unit as my Escort X50. I think I'm going to upgrade to the 9500i pretty soon though. The GPS fuctions on it are awesome ..... no more false alerts!!!!
