Now that some of the GT3's are 4 years old I thought it would be neat to get a pulse on how many miles your cars have and if there have been any major repairs needed. If you can identify track miles seperate from total miles it would be cool to share that as well.

I will start - 2004 GT3 purchased new 12k miles total Not enough track miles .

Repairs: Replaced RMS under warranty discovered by tech doing the service.

JMcD

2004 (7/'03) 5,800 street miles. The only dealer repairs and done '07 were (2) RMS, fuel pressure regulator, and fuel pump.

Marv

23K miles. Purchased 12/11/06 with 5,500 miles. ;-)

'04 GT3, 21,700 miles, purchased January '05 with 12K street miles, my 9K miles are about evenly split between track and street. No mechanical repairs. Bumper, left fender, and radiator replaced due to my first experience with lift-throttle-oversteer. Unfortunately, that happened on the Corkscrew at Laguna Seca. But it did get me the RS bumper to replace the stock one.

No repairs, no problems (other than consumables). Original owner had some sort of engine shield remounted, but that was it. Great car. Well, I still need to get the caster issue sorted....

Maybe 3-4 trackdays, but shortened ones. I have had little time for the track... :-(

Seth Thomas

2005 2nd owner, first owner was my dad who sold it to me with 1200 miles on it in 2006. Now has 5400 miles on it with nothing to report as a problem. Getting ready to replace the front splitter with one from a cup car because of the current breaking on one end. Other than that it is flawless

if u want to fix the castor prob, i would pay a visit to TCdesignfab. i got two buds trailer their car from sacto to milpitas every 6-8 weeks so they can be "massaged".
