how many miles you got?

Just curious how many miles people have on the clock and what problems they have run into. I intend on keeping this car for quite some time so just trying to give myself a heads up.

Currently 9.2k ~ 8months of ownership. Only problem is i cant keep this damn grin off my face...

That's "redcloud". He's posted a couple threads on here ( https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/sh...d.php?t=157370 )about what he's done at certain mileage. His car is running perfectly, because he's taken perfect care of it. He's modded it well and in fact just put a new front end on it after he sold me his CF splitter :


For me, 2 years and 40K miles. I've replaced my clutch, but I've also done about 150 hard launches

36500 miles. For all the mods I've done, there have been few problems with the car.
I had the tranny replaced at 17k due to incorrect installation of a new clutch.
Carpet anchor refuses to stay put.
CF spoiler looks real bad (cloudy) at this point. Dealer will replace it under warranty this week.

That's about it. Car requires a bit of maintenance in order to keep it reliable though.

Just turned 10,000 miles yesterday. I've had the car since June and the only problem I've had with it concerns the brakes. I had the brake pads replaced at 5000 miles under warranty to correct steering wheel shake. It didn't solve the problem, so Mitsu relplaced the brake pads and rotors again under warranty. The shaking is happening again, although I'm going to make some hard stops on an empty road to try to eliminate buildup on the rotors. I hope this does the trick.

Other than that, the car is perfect. Mine's a daily driver and I don't launch it, so I expect it to last a loooong time.
