Only 91k more miles since my last post in this thread. Roughly 175,000 now. I'm not using it for road trips anymore and the commute is no where near what it used to be.
I replaced the bulbs several more times. I liked the Sylvania Silverstars, but they weren't lasting. I put in Osram Silverstars this past summer and they've lasted a lot longer than any of the other bulbs.
I swapped in a 6k mile motor at around 129k miles, spring 2005. Easier than changing the timing belt . . . j/k, I threw a rod.
I put in a couple more sets of brake front pads. I liked the grip of Axxis, but there was a lot of dust. The current generic set are terrible, I'm might change them just out of spite. They came with a set of front calipers I put in this past summer. The front right caliper wasn't sliding right, so I swapped both front calipers with re-builts. The rear pads are on their second set and have plenty of meat.
I put in Espelir springs and Tokico Illumina struts last summer. I like the ride, but my wife and daughter hate it and voice that frequently. My son is indifferent. I put in new ball joints, outer tie rod ends, and some bushings around the same time. Oh Progress rear sway bar, too.
The header recently cracked at one of the welds, but I don't have any plans to swap it anytime soon.
Hmmm tires. . . I lost count. I replaced the Dunlops with Kuhmo Ecsta (currently SPT, but had Supra 712) at around 45k miles and use them in the summer. Michelin Artic Alpins in the winter.
