hulk xr6t Member 160 Member For: 17y 7m 23d Posted 01/07/08 02:52 AM Share Posted 01/07/08 02:52 AM Hi,I have a BA XR6T 4spd auto with 320rwkw... 45,000km on itI dont use it much but might sell the everyday driver and drive this car everyday...Is 320rwkw too much power to drive everyday without blowing something to smithereens..It has a custom tune done, all the good bits. Is it risky putting too many km on it as something may break? or is this a safe power output for everyday driving..Do you think it will hold out for a good 100,000km?

As you would drive any car...Is just cruising about in these high power XR's contruting to more than normal wear?

As mentioned I service regularly and drive nice "most" of the time. I have 110,000 on the clock with the last 25 being fairly easy. Consdering the first 70-80 were quite hard, I can't complain. Treat it nice, you shouldn't have a problem.
