160k, just changed clutch, 1 quart every 5-10K. change oil every 15-17k. Runs perfect, changed alternator at about 145K, wiring harness at 80k . Other than tune up stuff nothing has been replaced.

Clutch, service, suspension were all done right before I got it. Valve covers were done during PPI which revealed compression of 200 on all cylinders and leakdown of 1%, 0%, 0%, 1%, 1%, 0%.
Early oil consumption seems to be about 1400 miles/quart but the car only did about 1000 miles in the year before I got it so I don't know how much of that consumption is actually the burning off of moisture or fuel in the oil.
Oh yeah, easily kept pace with a reasonably well and aggressively driven E46 M3 through the twisty ramps getting on the freeway today.

so I dont' have to see that blasted thing. Eventually I'm going to get a notice for emissions inspection and am hoping to reset it right before going to the station to turn the light off, and they let it pass. I have no interest in spending money slated for a new suspension to fix that dumb light.

54k 1995 c2-fresh clutch-last year-still worked just wanted a fresh after over 11 years-brakes work great
had valves redone last year with total overhaul guides ect..-i brought the car from the big island of hawaii
seven years ago-because it is a daily driver i don't always get to go as far in it-compared to Hawaii where you could hit top speed on the way yo the market-(plus police have to leave on their blue light day or night)very easy to spot from a long way off-because of the difference in driving -last year it started to leak oil-lesson drive them longer and they will last longer-city computes are death to a 993
now i go out of my way to over warm up-cheers

Burning Brakes
Barely Broken In
Very strong, surefooted and barely broken in at 61K with literally no problems worth mentioning to date. The climate helps keep this car in mint condition but adhering to factory service recommendations and intervals just as important IMO.
......I have a collection of windshield notes asking to buy the car. I can't imagine that ever happening.

Jordan, I have to admit I don't like white cars in general and 911's in particular....but for some reason your car is simply stunning! When I look at it I just say "Wow!"

136k on a '993 targa
Original owner, no leaks, original clutch, been to streets of willow a few times. And sorry tell you guys, but I change the oil every 30,-35,000 miles weather it needs or not. In one case I went 43k between changes, burns a quart about every 12-14 tanks of fuel.
