My freind(the one who owns the 7) doesnt want to redline his car. From what i know an occational redline is good for the car. If this is true, is there anything to back it up? thanks in advance.

redlining is going to help on not letting the 5th and 6th ports to lock , wich is going to result ,in the failiure of the above.

we all know about the heat... but they are hot if you rev them or not man so the only way to cool them off is to get an e-fan or a new radiator or such

or install an S5 radiator, and i agree with soyo this is why i bought my RX7 to REDLINE th hell out of it. cuz when i got hooked on racing on a piston engine the stupid heads got warped, http://www.cardomain.com/id/evilmexican
