I was wondering if you guy have some tips for keeping a car in good shape while still getting all the performance you can out of it. I love my car, and every time a think about doing a 0-60 run I get somewhat scared about the damage I'm inflicting on it - specifically in the engine and tranny.

There's a few things I already try to do:
-Never hit VTEC on a cold engine. I always wait till the temp gauge has risen to a norm amount, and the oil is circulating.
-Shift slowly. If you cram it into gear, your synchros will slowly get damaged. I find that if you wait a fraction of a second, the car actually lets you in the gate without much of a fight.
-Match revs. I don't cram it into first gear w/o double clutching to the correct RPMS, nor do I downshift without the appropriate gas to prevent wear on the clutch.

All these seem like common sense to me, but I end up thinking about them a lot.

Do you have any tips to keep your track/autocross car in good shape through multiple seasons? I know some people simply have no sympathy for a "track car" in the name of competition, but I don't plan on being more cautious.

Thanks
