nothing mechanical at 26,000

i got to 24k-ish on the stock toyos. they do tend to wear relatively quickly due to the shallow tread and relatively soft compound. That and they're on a fwd car with tons of torque.

never mind. this is turning into a hate thread and the question was answered 2 pages ago.

fair enough however im just trying to illustrate that the reason people blow motors is that they put excessive mods on a car. that alone if they are installed well will not damage a motor to severely but when some one decides that they have to show off and race everything then yes they will...

When it comes down to it, 95% of the engine failures are either the result of careless modding or poor driving techniques. Or, most commonly it is a combination of both because you have the same mentality as an ignorant Honda driver.

Don't buy parts from eBay you will regret it in the long run.

seriously dude dont let the clutch out before you are ENTIRELY in the gear. if someone like me whos only been driving since September doesn't miss and grind ears then you shouldn't be driving a stick.

Its probly the electric throttle body. There is about a 3rd of a second delay between when you move the pedal and the throttle body adjusts. mine does the same thing and i dont worry about it.

Try reaching around with an extendable magnet ad see if you pick it up
