    How do you keep your car lasting forever...

    i just want to know what style of driving and regular maintenance will keep your ride kicking ass forever!

    Warming up before taking off...
    engine braking...
    allowing turbo to cool down...
    regular maintenance...
    oil changes...
    rotating tires... etc/ etc.

    Fluids... Oil, tranny, TC, Diff. Read your owners manual in the glove box. It has a lot of useful information in there about your Evo.

    It might be more pricey, but I do everything at half intervals. Like the manual says change oil every 5K, so I change at 2500. The fluids aren't to be changed until 30K, so I change at 15K. Keep it fresh!

Plus, the lion comes in a couple days. <br />Alex: You&#039;re getting a lion? <br />Dante: Yeah. <br />Alex: Why? <br />Dante: To protect my shit. <br />Alex: Never heard of a dog? <br />Dante: Dude, you can get past a dog. Nobody fucks with a lion. <br />Alex: Yeah, that&#039;s true.

    engine braking is just decelerating with your engine as hitting the gas is accelerating with you engine... same stress right?

    when done right without making you rpms go up too high it shouldnt make a difference

    Maintenance like already said. Automatic transmissions and the new MR X SST will always do engine braking and in emergency situations I wouldn't want to just rely on the pads only.

    I say don't drive it like you stole it on a daily basis.
