Question Am I still the King of High Miles?

Hello everyone!
I'm currently at 79,000 miles on my 03 EVO VIII! I have a few mods and my EVO is still running like a champ. I'm on the stock clutch too.

Let me know if I still have the highest mileage 03 EVO 8! I'd hate to say that I am if I'm not!

GO !

i'm guessing that if you don't do a lot of hard launches, and drive fairly normal, the clutch should be all good.

Be clear! I drive it hard! I just don't launch! I get it going first, then beat the hell out of it! I change the oil like clock work too!
sent a sample of all my fluids to be analyzed at my 60K service. everything came back great.

BTW: 60K service = BIG $$

I think it was about $850 because you have to replace the timing and balancer belts too! Well, you don't have to but why play with fate!
