Drifting
95' 106K miles runs great, engine screams all the way to 6800 (well, it actually only 'screams' at 4000+), all original (tray I think is long gone). Everything works except cruise. Harness TSB not done. Original glass, panels & paint. Only had it 5 weeks - monitoring for issues, none yet. A lot of 40 - 60K milage type 'things' have not been done: original plug wires, shocks, lower control arms, etc. Hell, the plugs are probably original too.

Burning Brakes
125k miles. Driven "spiritedly" every day. Bought it almost five years ago w/ 60k on the clock. New steering rack, fuel pump and alternator done by me over the years. Other than that, routine maintenance. Oil change every 10k miles +/- and tires as needed.
Still only burns a quart every 3k miles and has not thrown an SAI code in its life, thus far.
Best car I ever owned.

110,000 and still pulling strong. Regular maintenance and proper warm ups are my way of keeping her going. Drive below 3,000rpm until the thermostat cuts in, then drive it HARD!

I just bought the car in Jan of 07 a John H owned the car before (a rennlister) My plan is to let the engine go to see how many miles I can get out of her. I have been using val dura blend 15 40.
