Excellent. Great to hear.

I like that your in Orange/Rockland County NY. This means this EVO has gone through some harsh weather and holding strong. Maybe I'll catch ya around one day.

Just about 120k on mine now and I wouldn't think twice about driving it across country. This car has proved to be nothing but reliable for me. Mainteance is key.

Just over the 50k mark in my 06, this thread makes me confident she will last quite a while! Congrats on the mileage, and way to take care of a car. This really shows what the Evo is capable of in terms of longevity.

Awesome

Congratulations, that is awesome! Mine has 116k on it, and has been run hard, over 25 track days. Maintenance is the key!

am so proud to see that somebody can take care of an evo without killing it before 100,000 miles. LOL

4G63's live forever...engines with iron blocks generally have very long lifetimes...You will mostly just have to replace regular maintenance items. Is this a original stock transfer case as well?

To answer some of the questions:

Original Transfer case, Transmission , and rear diff.

Used OEM fluids up until about 180,000. Now trying the Amsoil
