    Whenever it's harmed up. DSM's are going to break in a week anyway regardless, so might as well enjoy it before it does. :/

    I literally had mine a week before the mid- pipe feel off when I hit a speed bump (LOUD) and then my shift linkage stretched and it was a PITA.

    WOT not very often, but i'd say i do at least 75-80% WOT every day when i get on the hwy with a good stretch of open road. my car is boosted though so even half throttle accelerates me pretty quickly on the hwy...

    daily. and with 82hp, i have to put that bitch to the floor to even get a small bit of rush. half throttle will still get me passed by soccer mom in the camry.

    i think if i had more power i wouldnt have to do it as much, lol. 18.9@71mph ftw!

    Usually I wait till 3rd gear on the street since wot in first and second and depending on conditions third are pretty useless. I usually reserve my wot to the dragstrip. It is nice to put your foot down at the Christmas Tree and not hear the BOV till you cross the beams at the other end.

    Use to do it all the time when I had my hatch, but now that I drive a slow car there is no point in it. Hell I rarely even speed anymore. Now the bike on the other hand different story.

    Never, anymore. Only at the track... When driving I usually just shift around 3k and then keep it in 5th.
    Back to being stock and slow
