   1- why does my icv keep getting dirty and playing up? Shouldn't air filter prevent this?
   
   2- want to lower my saxo, however I often have a full car and that makes the rear go very low, so if it is also lowerd + a full car am I going to have problems?
   
   3- does revving your car past 6000k rpm (red) cause excessive wear when engine is warn? (not that I ever exceed 5000 rpm) I got told it's good to give it a good blast and bounce the rev limiter every so often for some reason ?

   Could maybe lower it 25mm bud.
   
   The redline on the rev gauge is for a reason lol
   
   Revving a car to its death aint good bud but fire away if you want to get that engine blown but not in a turbo'd kinda way lol.

   1. Just a common fault.
   2. depends what dampers you get, if you get stiff adjustables you can prevent it, but the ride will be compromised.
   3. Sure! if you want it to blow up

   Number 3: a rev limiter prevents damage to valves etc. bash away if you like, pretty pointless to bounce a car off of the limiter intentionally though. Revving up to the limiter-ish before changing gear would be fine.
   
   Use more petrol though
