I have 50k on mine, just rebuilt it (see my pictures) using stock parts. The only things I added were a front lip and an AEM cold air intake. At 70mph I am getting 33.5 mpg.

58k miles and running strong. She'd better last at least 3.5 more years, 'cause that's how many payments I still have on her. And this is the first car since my 924S or Miata that I actually plan on keeping that long, 'cause she's so much fun to drive.
 
i just hit 40,000 miles about a week ago but i drive 89 miles to work round trip everyday

Because when it does break your valves and camshaft don't move any more and your piston smashes into the valves that are still open. Bye bye piston, valves, head etc, alot more than $600


True true.. they say you need to replace your s*** at 100k but its only recommended.. if my ride was in crapy condition i'd consider getting it done, but so far it runs great with no idle, smoke, stale, hessitation.. shoot it probably runs better now then it did when it had 10k miles on it. I'll consider getting it replaced at 150k.
 
65K....lots of maintenance in the works.....(shocked) plugs, fluids, battery, brakes, tires again, belts...and the list continues to grow...

Well thats probably not too bad, im at 57k and ive done the plugs and wires, brakes, battery, fluids, am on my 3rd set of tires, 3rd front bumper cover, 3rd hood.... I think im gonna stop there for now. And I know, the last 2 were because of accidents, but the rest weren't. I haven't had any belt problems but they do squeek sometimes when its wet out. Oh, and 19 oil changes. lol

Just rolled 90k... dropped $1750 in maintenence.. my car has been horribly neglected.. (shrug)
HOly crap what all did you have done! I can can do a full tune up plus suspension for that!
 
Just cruised past 152,000 miles, and going strong. When will the stock clutch fail? I can't believe it's lasted this long, I am ready to upgrade. This car is as good or better than any of the Honda's or Toyota's that I have owned. I still love the way this thing handles. So much fun! Later.
 
just turned 89K....i've spent next to nothing execpt reg. maintenance (mods excluded) i love this car!:)
 
just bought mine 2002 110,000 miles the guy had receipts for timing belt, water pump, plugs. done at 108,000. runs great! I'm a little nervous about how many miles i will get out of the transmission (automatic) the fluid looks and smells good. anybody else have this many miles on a automatic?

Not me, sorry :P

I'm going to be hitting 70K in the next few days. For now, it feels kinda good to remain at 69. (peep)
