can i make it to boston

sdtouge · Mar 16, 2006

i think ima spend the summer in boston and i want to hit up a few events while im out there so ifigured id drive my car out there.
what do you guys think, can i make it there from san diego, do some events, and make it back?
the motor im about to drop in is just a dohc s14 ka with 85k on it. used to be auto. while its out im doing some basic maintnence, but still its a long drive.
id have to bring like belts fluids spark plugs oil and diff fluid change as soon as i get therhe and right before i leave, not including before any event i do lol.

but ya, think a ka can make it basically 3000 straight miles, then take a small break, drift some, and make it back?

sure, just dont crash drifting and research points along the way that have garages and tow companies and get their contact details in case of breakdown

i'd say it'll make it. just dont break the car while drifting or you wont make it back. lol

Change the oil before you leave and change it after you leave lol But yea you'll make it.

85,000 miles on a KA is nothing. I drove a 200,000 ka from South Carolina to Canada and back, though mountians and stuff and it didn't miss a beat.

you can do it, but do you really want to risk having problems on the way or after the event? I try to trailer when I can for event because I'm going out there with the expectations of breaking somthing, and a few times I have. My suggestion if you are going to drive it, to go through and make sure everything is a 100% before you leave, take it easy on the track and you'll be ok.
