to my opinion, even ours modded beloved evos can daily drive with no problems.
The question is reliability. There's always wear and tear down the road . The best way to keep the car last a long time is keeping it bone bone stock.

 

I used to DD my Evo when I still had it.

2.1L(Built by me)
6262
AEM
E85
Around Mid 600's on low boost(Dynojet)

9.43@150 on high boost, 780whp.

I thought I would only drive it on the weekends but its just so much fun.

 

I think 500+ is plent for DD? lol, i drive the car everyday to work and back, snow or rain :-> not droping a dime on mods anymore, just maintanance.

I know if i drop more mods, problems will start.

bought the evo brand new in feb 2005. very happy with the car.

 

Kouzman made like 540whp yesterday at TSA Winter Dyno.

 

500ish seems to be the max for a DD, although there are definitely notable exceptions (insert tuner). I would stick to 400whp, its more than enough for a dd street car, and will be less expensive to build.

 

I have driven my car with 500+ HP almost every day if not 4 days a week for the last 3 years.

No issues!

 

What's the point of that? Defeats the purpose. BTW never heard of that.

 

what i mean is that if u not wot the car , it 's ok to drive every day

 

Wow, I'm only trying to get a little over 400... But I'm kickin' almost 200,000 miles now.

 

man, 193,000 miles is a lot. You probably doing interstate highway driving everyday for the last 7 years.

 

Got it in 05 with 64K on it.

I drive about 60 miles each way to and from work. so 5-6 days to work and it adds up.

 

it really is scary how fast miles build up when you commute in the car! I just bumped up over 50k in mine!

 

200miles holly batman!!!

 

for almost 200,000 miles.

 

the D sport issue with the silver evo on the cover was a DD, pushing 800hp, and it was recently for sale on here
