I know i am not the only one, but i Daily Drive my swap no matter what, its my only car, and being 18 it kinda sucks, but it shows toyotas kick ass. My swap is a 94 Celica w/jdm3sgte in it, who else DD's their swap?
Who DD's their swap? - 6G Celicas Forums
I haven't did the swap yet, but I would drive the $#!T out of my swap. Why not right? Of course while I do the swap and learn more if I can even handle AWD conversion in the far far future, I might look into another project car. Just dunno what yet.
91 MR2 Turbo SW20, 92 MR2 Turbo SW20, 95 Celica GT ST204

The reason I went with a 3SGE instead of a 3SGTE was because it is going to be my DD.

I put roughly 90 miles a day on my 3rd gen 3s / E153 LSD combo.
the only thing I hate about driving the car daily is the clutch, I went with a clutch a little too aggressive for street, but I'm planning on replacing it this spring

60-70 miles a day on my Beams swap. N/A is so easy to take care of vs the turbo, atleast for a newbie like myself

I also daily drive my celica, is around 90 miles a day getting and average of 26 miles per galon with mixed good commuter days / traffic and enjoyable driving days. no problems / complains here.
as long as you take your time and do ANY swap properly and the right way, you shouldn't have a problem driving it everyday, I mean, OEM'ish swaps, not the 700 WHP 3sgte monster builds lol. and even those can be some what daily driveable lol
