Bought in 2003 - 141k miles. Redline (2 part MT90 & 1 part MTL) in orginal tranny, transfer case runs OEM Daiqueen, as does the rear dif. Current setup - Works Cams/Ti Valve springs and retainers (installed by Works @ ~80k), Works throttle body, P2 Flash, Works drop in filter, original turbo, Works short shifter, spacin' on the rest... Run Mobil 1 since new, changed every 3k and it doesn't burn oil. Drivetrain fluids changed every 10k or so. 2nd clutch, first one changed at 85k just because. Timing belt & waterpump replaced at 80k when the Cams where installed. Several sets of tires, brake pads/rotors and spark plugs. Except for the Cam install, all of maint. performed by me. Just replaced the clutch slave at 140k. She goes through everything from couple thousand mile trips for custom tunes in the San Fran, to autoX and track days. Drive her hard (and I dont mean like a drag car) and just take care of the maint. No worries here!

115k miles. Couldn't be happier. Proved a lot of people wrong on reliability. Things go wrong here and there but nothing I can't handle. DD, dragged every now and then, never AXed, spirited driving pretty often.

I just went over 91K the other day. Other than normal wear stuff only issues I've had so far was a blown rear shock, but it happened just after I ordered my coilovers lol... and I just had my injector resistor pack get corroded enough for one of the wires to come off a few weeks ago. Other than that no problems and still puts a smile on my face when I drive it hard.

85k miles and daily driven.

Los Angeles weather and traffic. Drag Raced and Road raced a few times. 375awhp and still going strong. Only things i've had to replace are clutch, tires, timing belt and water pump. Maintenance is key to making your car live long. Be good to it and it will be good to you.

I have an 05 evo and 135,000 miles. I am about to go on my 3rd clutch, have 365 wheel hp. Its been through a season of auto-x 2 sets of rotors, 5 pad changes, 1 timing belt change, at least 30 oil changes, changed the diff every 30k and tranny 45k (I do more highway driving), 6 sets of tires.
Problems I have had are:
the stock climate control (heater gets stuck)
tons of bulbs going out
oil pressure switch went bad
corroding relay causing the wipers to go on and off, dash lights to stay on etc...
licp popping off (aftermarket)
my rear wing (clear coat) faded big time
my brembo brakes arent red anymore (pinkish)

77k

Replaced: Tranny (rebuild) 40k
Idle Sensor (warranty fix)
Dash Lights
Tensioner pully (noticed when doing the timing belt and water pump)

Other than that nothing has broke. Unless I broke it myself and i would partially take the blame for the tranny. Reliable Cars

I believe ODUB has over 105K miles on his IX.

*Edit* just found out it's 118K miles. I haven't even reached 18k in my IX lol.
