ditta on alignment... inner edge wear is NOT a normal thing.
To save your synchros, don't jam it into gear when you're about to start. Press gently and let them come up to speed. Rev-match always between gear shifts. Also, low-viscocity transmission fluids are well known in the racing community to reduce the life of your synchros.
Bump starting does not have to be hard on your engine. Even the term "bump start" makes it sound like the wrong technique. When i bump start there is NO thrashing of the engine or the occupants of the car. Put it in fifth, let the clutch half way out quickly and push it back down quickly. This will get it turning with the least friction. Tap the gas peddle to bring the revs up while it is starting itself and then let the clutch out again. Easy, smooth, friendly on your clutch and engine.
High speed turns are also good for FE and bad for tires. Personally, i use low-profile 16" tires with a fairly low UTQG and an aggressive rain tread. Not the best for longevity or rolling resistance... hard turning resuts in more shoulder wear on my tires.
