Purchased brand new in august of 2005 and last week after 2 years and 4 months of ownership I hit 100 f-ing thousand miles.

Problems so far:
Had to replace stock clutch at 95k (damn that 340 whp-fried my clutch out)
rear wing clear coat peeled.
climate control bulb switch is screwy

I went through 3 sets of brake pads
I went through 5 sets of tires
I went through 4 sets of plugs
I went through 5 changes of tranny, diff fluids
I went through 27 oil changes (once a month)
I went through 1 cooland flush

The car went from CT to FL twice, to Buffalo, to Canada, vermont like 20 times (season pass snowboarding)

With all of this said, I also have another car, a s2000 with 70,000 miles on it. Oh with no accidents and no tickets (have gotten pulled over at least 5 times- but no convictions but thats because I am a lawyer and get out of them) muahaha. O'Doyle rules.

 

Nice dude. Glad its been reliable for you.

 

Great Post......I also have allot of miles on my06 Evo9 @ 32,000 at a year into owning it. You need to start a poat about how to get out of Tickets....lol...I as well as others could use the advice....

 

Wow you do alot of driving, after 5 years of ownership I average 9k miles per year.

 

Must be nice to be a lawyer and not have to worry about tickets haha.

 

Glad to see its still running strong!

 

Seriously, share the knowledge man, my insurance company owns me.

 

I thought 69k on my '03 was alot.

 

Wow that is a **** load of miles for an 05. it must have been a lot of highway for the clutch to last you 95k.

 

I hope my clutch last as long as yours did. I also have a 2005 and only have 18000 miles on mine. You do a butt load of driving.

 

Congratulations dude that's awesome. Just goes to prove that if you drive the car properly and maintain them well they will last! 95k miles out of a the original stock clutch with a modified car with 340whp isn't bad at all if you ask me!

How many timing belt changes?

Are you scared of flying or something?

Keep on trucking.

 

So far one timing belt change at 70k when I got my cams installed.
Def not afraid of flying, work takes me many places. But I love road trips for pleasure.

 

congrats, when i hit 100k ill be happy

 

Thats awesome! Mitsu should do a write up on you.

 

awesome, congrats
