there was a guy with an 8 that had like 180k a year or so ago. he's probably past 200k by now. as far as IX's, and IX MR's go, I think i'm still in the lead.

You are using great synthetic oils and a great tunner.

I am wondering about a rear JDM IX bumper, APR rear undertray or just get this one fixed.

Anyway, just to let you guys know. I don't drive the car that hard(no holeshots), mainly commuting 120+ miles a day.

Before hitting 200K I am going to put in an Buschur turbo and intercooler that my buddy has for me in his shop.

this is how an evo should be driven, unlike some evos parked in the garage.

maintanance is key to the "logetivity" of every vehicle, not JUST EVO. Evo is a very dependable car to begin with (can't speak about other Mitsubishi vehicle) due to it's turbo charge engine and rally heritage, all parts and components are beefed up.

how long have you had the Kelford cams and walbro fuel pump? do you have valve spring upgrade?

I have had the cams in since sometime in October around 185-186K(can't really remember). Did not upgrade springs. I just figure I don't drive that hard to make the valves float, but if they did, I would just rip it all apart anyway.
I know I am taking a risk....

The Walbro pump has been in there since 68,000.
