Why take it to redline? Most cars dont make power up there.

[MisterCMK]

Word.

I usually shift around 5500rpm as it just runs out of breath way up top.

Man you guys are girls, I beat hell out of my crx. That's why I built it was to drive to drive the piss out of it. I enjoy every second of it

[integra_gsr98]

The fun doesn't even start until 5500 rpm!

Exactly, why buy/build a fast car if you're always gonna drive it conservatively? As long as you have good oil and a fully warmed up engine, I don't see any reason to call redlining your car "beating on it". Your car was designed after all to handle those engine speeds and not break. That is unless of course you bounce off the rev-limiter all day.

Ah, my old pickup had the KA24E and was starting to go when I sold it, as I also beat the crap out of it. :icon_farao:

[KA-T_240]

KA24e is the problem. They hate life.

[Afsil80]

This is true.

As I just told Jon via MSN, as I was starting to disconnect everything tonight, as soon as I took off the intake pipe, oil started dribbling out. That's not usually a good sign. If I get the time/motivation while I wait for my CA to get here (which I probably will have), then I'll see what all got fucked up when the motor shat itself.

beating the crap out of an engine is a normal thing

No, sorry. Beating the crap out of an engine is not normal.

Just cuz you drive a mustang and it can't take it, doesn't mean others shouldn't.

Go drive a buick.....

Yes, thats it. Don't get me wrong, I am not saying that driving your car hard is a bad thing. I drive mine hard. Just being stupid and driving like the guy with the yellow GTO does is bad.

I think you meant "most American cars with truck engines in them"

My old M5 sees redline multiple times everytime i drive it (unless its to move it). The italian tuneup is good for a well-made engine.

And never mind if you actually hit the track (not the "strip" -- a real track), you're seeing redline in 2, 3, and 4, on every lap, for 20-30 minute sessions. I've done this to both of my 20 year old, stock engine'd BMWs. No drama.
