Hitting 200,000 Miles?

Hi guys,

Some have asked for pics of the car. I had it quickly washed at work after a snowstorm.

It has damage since a girl hit me in the rear at a stop.
Also the rear wing clear is peeling,Ill get the body shop to redo it.

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.

Thanks guys.

The guy that washed my car couldn't believe it had this many miles either.

Oh added pic of the odometer.

WoW.

As for the clear.. Do it yourself.
Sand it down, degrease it, and spray some clear. Not that hard, and you'd save a few bucks.

But *******, that's insane.

Lets prove all of those people who say Mitsubishi's aren't reliable wrong. Their best car with 200K miles??!! Womp!
