Is everything original? Has anything had to be replaced? Just curious about OEM component reliability.

Water pump
Radiator
Starter
Alternator
Power steering pump
A/C compressor
Clutch
Etc.

Do you follow the factory maintenance schedule, or your own?

 

It's holding up pretty damn well!

 

Had to replace both front wheel bearings at around 120K due to noise.A/C comp was changed this summer, elec. comp clutch locked up. All drivetrain is stock.
Water pump changed every 60K with the timing belts. Clutch is the same as I got the car at 64K. But I think with the new Turbo going in I will probably change it when it starts to slip.

When I first got it, someone said the STi would be better for longevity...Now all he says is, "you still driving that thing"..

 

congrats! that is settling knowing that the car can last that long with just regular maintenance.

 

thats soo awesome man and im getting nervous about hitting 45k. keep that thing forever

193,778 miles / ~230 miles to tank = 842.5 tanks of gas
842.5 tanks of gas * 14 gallons in the tank = 11,795 gallons of gas
11,795 gallons of gas * ~$3.00 per gallon = $35,385 total gas cost

 

Thanks, Makes me feel better that I spent that much on gas. More because gas in my area was closer to $4 last summer.

 

Nice!! There is hope.

 

wow thats crazy

 

Nice to see your car holding up so well after so many miles. Goes to show what great value Evos are.

 

Really impressive

 

very nice. i'm at 146,000 on my 06 IX MR right now. still running strong as well.

 

That Evo sure is a trooper. Great job on taking care of her.

 

I feel better about my decision to start daily driving my car after seeing this thread.

 

man i have 35,000 miles on my car and feel like i have a lot on it. lol

 

I was worried about hitting 40,000. This makes me feel better.
