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?

Mine just rolled up on 146.6k miles on a regualar automatic. It's startign to slip now, However I added the Lucas non-slip s*** tot he tranny and it seems to help so far. I just want it to hodl up tell imcome taxes so i can get it rebuilt by level10.
 
Wow, I can't believe peeps are still posting in here. I guess I'll give an update on mine, since I started this thing. I have put about 2500 on mine since I started this thread, right around 68,5xx.

s***, why?

Cuz when i work ( about half of the month ) its 80 miles round trip. If it wasn't for 12hr shifts.. i'd be rack'n the miles. The only thing thats been changes because it went out/broke is the horn. go figure. I've done nothing other then exceptional maintanence and upgrades. Runs like a champ pushing 140whp (est. 160hp fly) 146 torque.

Nice, im gonna be doing around 40 miles a day 6 days a week with my new job and school.

you can kiss that 59k goodbye in no time. I'd say you at about 20k a year.. easy. My bro bought my car brand new in 02 and put 20k on it before i got it.. basically brand new. I driven the hell out of it. Clutch started to slip on the dyno in 3rd :(.

Yeah i think im gonna use up my miles soon! lol


Its all good.. just do the norm: oil change 3k, clean air filter, fuel injector cleaner from time to time ect... I used Seafoam.. works great. I'd recommend using Castrol GTX 10w-30 instead of 10w-40. Little bit thicker oil and small lose in hp, but overall better on the engine. the dyno results i got was using 10-30.. i just can't help but wonder what 10-40 would put me at, probably nothing worth getting to excited over :)
 
Yeah I use the 10w-30, and change my oil when its needed, and injector cleaner every 6k or so and have my k&n air filter, so im good! lol
