J/w from my understanding a FD is a fussy car but hoping to get one soon but i plan on dailying it. But babying it along the way getting most if not all the usual reliability upgrades. I only plan on driving 100 or less a week. So im juss wondering what experiences people have had doing so and how many miles anyone has dailyed it

 

At the moment I am driving mine like 5 days a week 12 miles a day. It has a large street port, big single turbo, etc. It is fun, but i presume it is degrading the life of the engine. Im actually shopping for a daily driver now. I have been lucky, and havn't had it break down on me once. However i have been continuously upgrading things, i dont know if that counts as down time. - Hope that helps.

Oh yea, my car before this was pretty much stock, with just downpipe, and intake - i drove it daily for over a year - just doing regular maintanence - Never broke down or had ANY problems. Maybe that is just my good luck.

 

You better have a backup vehicle...

 

I daily mine when it's not broken...My fiancee has to give me rides to where ever i need to go other than that...and the ****** is broken A LOT.

 

i daily drove my fd for 3 years straight, and if it wasnt such an *** now, i'd still be daily driving it.



from when i got my car back in august 2003 til when it blew february 2004, i drove the car about 18k miles

 

i drive mines everyday, except today, cause of snow and only cause i didnt feel like getting up early and cleaning it. other times i have not driven it were when my battery died at work cause of a problem with the horn, it would stay on and when the alt died a week ago. both times the car slept at work.



if you want to drive it daily and it not be a gas guzzler only do reliability mods.

 

I'd recommend a backup car to it moreso because of its impracticality but also for the sake of the FD alone.



I won't take out my FD when salt/snow is on the road (so most of winter is out), when it rains (can't go WOT safely), or when my commute is stupid for an FD IMO (NYC, city/busy driving) or when I need space.



For the sake of taking on the crappy weather and driving conditions, if not also for the sake of a backup car uncase of anything bad happens to the FD, I would get a spacey, good gas mileage DD.



I think an FD deserves not to see snow, salt, crappy stuff. It's a performance toy, it can be a daily driver for good commutes but I wouldn't bother taking it on any conditions listed above.



I'm selling my current Integra soon for something a bit faster or more luxurious, not sure what direction/car I am getting yet though...

 

I drive my Fd everyday but it's practically stock...

 

Everyday! to bad its so low though that i cant get into 80% of parking lots.

 

i daily drove my bridgeported single turbo FD for the past 8 years. (modified from day one, single turbo BP for a year) TERRIBLE gas milage and there's always that nagging question of whether it will get you home or not.



Get a daily driver that is reliable.
