Hello all!!!

What I mean, is that when I first got the car I drove slow trying to conserve gas a lot more. As I started getting mods put on it the heavier my foot got again(when I say again I had a 3000gt and drove it hard before this car). I got my intake and exhaust and I would step on it just to hear the car cuz it sounded so much nicer. Got wheels and tires drive hard on back roads since it grips better. Got my lip kit installed now I feel all king kongish with it on and just drive faster now haha. Kinda sucks but its so much fun

So my question is has your driving style changed from stock to upgrades over time?

 

When I put on my intake and exhaust i drove hard for a few weeks just to hear it. then i put on a front strut bar and took turns fast for a few weeks. but now im back to normal. i would drive hard like mad if i went turbo tho haha.

 

when i got it i didn't go past 68 for mpg. then i was lke fk it and i usually drive 75-80 now that i got the wheels i go 65-68 for mpg and when i need to pass or i am late 80-90.

 

I just installed my Strup Header. I find myself urging to squeeze power out of the xB and accelerate like mad. I love the roar and the revving, and the wonderful purr it makes when I start the car.

So yes, after all these mods, I drive crazy compared to how I used to drive it when it was virtually bone stock.

 

Um. I still drive slow. I average like 68mph. But my car is REALLY heavy, so my gas mileage is like 25mpg average.

 

After I welded up a rear muffler delete pipe, I loved the sound. Add in the 200+ lbs of battery in my xB, gas mileage is terrible now. <20MPG consistently.

 

I've been driving slow these days especially in california where polices are cracking down people who are 5+ mph over the speed limit...

 

I drive it mostly the same way I drive my Eclipse GSX. When I make a performance oriented mod, I check it out to see where it got me, but then I just consider it part of the arsenal. Outside of a traffic need or an occasional desire to stretch my legs , I drive relaxed and easy with focus on mpg. I do like a healthy arsenal though !

 

You mean there is a way to drive that doesn't involve my right foot going all the way down? I don't think anything will change that. I've been driving that way since I started a few decades ago.

 

yup i hear ya. damn police! ha

 

There was a guy awhile back at work who was popularly considered a binary driver. Either throttle to the floor or brake to the floor, nothing much in between !

 

Binary, eh? At least he's consistent with only two driving styles.

 

This pretty much describes my driving style!!

 

Haha that's a great frame.

 

Except for the break-in period, my style's been consistent.

 

I used to drive crazy when i had my scion tc when i traded it for my 350z i drove my Z so slow cause MPG was drasticly worse of course but i got over that i bought it so im enjoying it.
