Quite frankly, I consider you to be a bit of a tosser, pretty full of yourself, but without a real clue. Of course, I'd decided to keep that to myself until you came along and started putting others down.
You seem to think I care about how long my engine lasts now. It has outlasted the average lifespan of an engine that is subjected to the extremes we get in Australia. Over here, we drive our cars the way they are designed. The fact that the VTEC engagement takes place at 5000 and Honda sets the redline at 8000 RPM on a B16A. Peak power is not made until 7300. What does that suggest to you? To me it suggests that the power is there to be used, not ignored.
250,000 miles? Who cares - it dies, you rebuild it, end of story. Even someone like you can work out that 200,000 is pretty damn good.
Well, maybe not you.

I posted a logical fact. Everyone jumped on it because they did not READ. (<--Stress that word) Your not stupid or illiterate you just refused to actually READ my post. I see what you are saying, I figure it is equally easy to see what I am saying.
Maybe you don't care about engine life but a lot of people do. BUT again that wasn't even the topic or the point of my response. Please sift through the BS posted by some and get to the real point. You will see my point as I have seen yours and others points.
The whole probelm with this thread is that it's strayed far from the topic.
