Once Modified Is It your Daily Driver?

[Snapper]

Ok I am thinking about modifin my car, aim is 330rkw + but the problem is I drive the car everyday do about 500km a week

Do many of u drive your cars every day to and from work etc is it reliable?

thanks

Cant see why not but having alot more power over stock will increase the chance of failure. Just make sure that you can do without the car for a period of time, if not id suggest a lower power. Not sure on the model you have but mine is 267rwkw an has not missed a beat, had it tuned for well over a year and was used daily (its now a weekend car).

Now that's a tradie ute! Nice work mate.. especially the pic with it all loaded for a days work!

OP, perhaps you have yet to go in a modded T, but these things even at high power as SMURF6 proves are very streetable. If yours is a BA, 330rwkw may by pushing the reliability of the engine and also trans if running stock auto or 5 speed manual. IMO 300rwkw as a guide is a safe limit if a BA, but no guarantees... we are pushing these cars harder than Ford intended.

Oh and yes, mine is a daily...

300rwkw here and I drive mine everyday in peak hour traffic. It doesnt miss a beat. One thing I have noticed, I rarely open it up during the week as I just enjoy the drive and its no use racing from the lights against crap.

317rwkw, 11.9 PB in street trim and she sees 500km a week. My commute used to be 60k's or so and about 2/3 was highway, then stop start during work on call outs to businesses. Fuel use about 12L/100 unless I really got up it heaps. Usually WOT a couple times a day or more.

If you're doing stop start 500kms a week I feel sorry for you!

Edit - replace your bushes with stronger ones though........
