so i was curious,
if you were to drive long distances on alot of days and maintaining decent speed i.e 120-150km/h on average of 2 hours a day and throw in some hills and interesting corners, basically describing a very hard-driven daily driver all year round...
what part of the car should we be watching out for?
tires? most-def the first
radiator? ive a cracked radiator before but not sure coz of my driving...
bearings and bushings? ive a friend who goes trough 2 sets a year...
suspension-dampeners and springs? avoid lobang like a retard? i do that! hahaha
chassis flex? should i be worried? haha!
engine innnards and pieces?
broken camshafts! ive seen it! damn scary!
tappets making more than ordinary noise?
timing belts and pulleys?
maintaining high revs with air-con on will stress your air-con compressor yes?
ive had the belt come apart but lucky dint hit anything else :P if kena the power steering or alternator sure sleep roadside that day
on turbo cars im sure hoses and pipes needs to be tip-top and need to jaga kaw-kaw isn't it?
a leaking turbo isnt fun...
exhaust system wear and tear? mounting and burnt mufflers
what interests me the most is how you maintain decent performance from a car and how to get ultra-reliability from it.
share your experiences and opinions, all are welcome...
