82k and running stronger than ever! Brakes and clutch are relatively new along with a second timing belt change. Otherwise, aside from normal wear items such as tires and battery, the care is basically as delivered in 1993!

Possibly missing a rubber hanger? Or you might want to try to lower the rear section of the exhaust a bit to get more clearance. Loosen the hanger by transaxle to get it down as low as possible.

154,000

I did the usual stuff (belts, cam tensioner, etc) when I bought it 7 months ago, and it's been running flawlessly this whole time.

43k and just joined the rapidly growing club of those who have discovered that mileage is inconsequential to the condition of the hydraulic system - running rubber seals and hoses over 8 years old is running on very borrowed time

Not to brag - but I think mines the highest mileage, and best looking!

My DD will hit the magic 100K within a week. I also have two 968 motors with around 60 an 80K on them (the 60 K motor is presently in my track car).

Nope and from what I remember you have a new back window too with a working defroster!
