xDennis 04-03-2002, 12:31 PM Hey guys, im almost done sving up for my swap..but the other day i started thinking on if i should buy a cheap car for a DD(used classic ;)) or shuld i not have anyproblems running the DET as the DD..just let me know what you do, Thanks NismoPC 04-03-2002, 12:50 PM DD = Daily Driver:D onefastnismo 04-03-2002, 12:56 PM I did the swap in mine and is DD. Its also as the 5th gear popout, I'm also moving to Jacksonville. Moving from Wisconsin, now i don't know if i should tow it or drive it. Mike bl200sx 04-03-2002, 12:57 PM yeah, it may not be a bad idea, if you have the money to get a daily driver, alot of the turbo boost cars use them as DD, but I have a Toyota truck I drive as a DD, and drive my turbo 200se-r when I want to raise some hell, atleast you have something to drive when your hot rod breakes, or you want to mod it some more. :) paNX2K&SE-R 04-03-2002, 01:54 PM My DET powered classic is my winter beater daily ride :) Speaking of that its starting to get nice out. I should have the flexpipe fixed on the NX so I can wake her up from winter hibernation :) Matt Ostlund 93NX 91SE-R cnynracer1 04-03-2002, 04:02 PM My Turbo 200sx Se-R is my only car, and it is not only daily driven, but daily beaten. Between 3 jobs and school, and I am constantly driving. I have had the F-MAX kit for almost a year now, and have put at least 15K miles on it already. It was driven to AZ for the Convention, Willow Springs for some road racing, a couple of drag strip passes, plus daily freeway onramps at full boost. The car kicks ass, I am not worried about blowing up the motor, because I leave it @ 10 psi every day. The car has only seen high boost levels on the dyno, and at the drag strip, and the plugs were still nice and rich. The only thing I worry about breaking is the tranny of course, but I have a spare transmission, axles, even a spare motor in my garage! So if anything were to break, I should be able to have the car back on the road within 1-4 days without any problems. The tranny was cryo-treated and mil spec shotpeened, so I'll let you guys know when it does finally go (knock on wood). Rockwood 04-03-2002, 04:21 PM although my car was just recently turbo'd (last tuesday) i am confident enough in its reliability that i would not hesitate to drive it for an extended road trip. i daily drive my car about 20K+ miles a year. sr20detutah 04-03-2002, 05:20 PM xTurbo Classicx I think we have swapped emails before, but I have over 25,000 miles on my DET in just one year. It's running better than ever, although my turbo could go at any time. Planning on a T28 in a couple of months. SE-Rious B14 04-03-2002, 08:22 PM Yep, my daily driver is my 96' DET. Takes me to school ,work, shop, and finally home:) DubuRX 04-04-2002, 07:04 AM I'm in the process of turboing my 97 200, but at the moment have no plans to use it as my DD, especially due to the AZ heat... But then again, I do have a Civic for a DD... (maybe i should rethink about the 200...) denske 04-22-2004, 06:02 PM 13.1 @107 driven to and from work everyday,only car i own. 97SE-R C2 04-22-2004, 06:44 PM If it ran year round it would be. Hahaha. Last year towards winter I broke the trans and decided to garage it until this spring. This year I will more than likely Drive it through the winter. 1F@$t9d7 04-22-2004, 07:27 PM My 200 is my only car and I put 20K miles on it last year, several drag strip passes, 8 hour road trips once a month, and plenty of daily abuse. I have had my F-max kit for almost 1 1/2 years. afstegg 04-22-2004, 07:37 PM did daily drive for awile but the se-r will not see snow. thats what the blazers for. sr20det808 04-22-2004, 07:39 PM turbo'd lil over a year and drive it every damn day javierb14 04-22-2004, 07:42 PM the se-r is my only car.....1 bar every day....about 50 miles a day :D SR20RACER 04-22-2004, 07:48 PM Well I wouldn't say I dirve it every day becasue I drive my work truck around all day. But I use it 3-4 a week and when I do I beat on it. I mean I drive it hard, but I am not a dumbass in it. I haven't driven mine in 10 mos becuase my tranny went out and I just deceided to upgrade a bunch of other things also. (So it took me a while to save the $$$$) :) Soopastank 04-22-2004, 07:59 PM 2nd Daily Driven 200...only reason the first one isn't around is because of a accident. Its hard to leave this bad boy in the garage! AntonioG 04-22-2004, 08:03 PM Damn, someone revived this thread from a couple years back... Anyways, my DET used to be my DD, now it is not anymore. Now that I have her running well, I take her out for a spin a few times a week. I've had my DET for over 2 years and I've put nearly 30k miles on it. jbanach77 04-22-2004, 08:20 PM i daily drove my 424whp gti-r powered 200sx daily. then upgraded everything, including 89lb/hr injectors and 550gal/hr pump | ||
