Congrats, it feels weird im about to hit 8k in my 9 soon. haha

 

NICE. There meant to be driven...

 

wow.. i almost cried 150,000 times for you but alot are right you buy it to drive it.. 03 here with only 60,000

 

Congrats! So, have it been 150k trouble-free or is there any inside info you can share with the rest of us? Maybe what to expect when the miles comes flying

 

Well done, glad to see an Evo still going strong at those miles, my 2003 Evo 8 has just gone past the 80K mark.. so I have a long way to go yet.

 

To think that I want to baby my ****, I need to get out and drive my phucking car! Congratulations on having a car that has taken you everywhere.

 

condition of transfer case, rear diff, trany and motor please?

 

I've been thinking about putting a list together of the things i've replaced in 150k miles. I may do that. For the most part, it's been trouble free. Just routine maintenance, and cosmetic things here and there. I'll say this, I haven't had any problems with anything I didn't modify.

Biggest issues I've had were with poor fitting Seibon carbon trash, Ralliart front lips being destroyed by driving, furry woodland kamikaze creatures, and a couple light bulbs going out. That's really been about it.

Yes you should! I took a different approach than the guy with the 200k mile EVO (congrats to him again, car still looks great!). I have launched mine repeatedly...more times than I can remember. I've autocrossed it every chance I got, drag raced it, and it sees redline in gears 1-3 at least 3 times a day. Sometimes more depending on how much driving I do.

I don't get the notion of babying EVO's but beating on a honda accord. The accord is the one you would baby. The EVO is built with race quality parts to stand up to the stresses of racing. That's one of the reasons I bought it...so i wouldn't have to baby it! lol honestly, the EVO has been the most reliable car I've ever owned (this is coming from someone who had an Acura integra, civic Si, and Honda Accord before the EVO). I had all 4 cars at once, and the only one I could trust day in day out was the EVO. It's never left me stranded, never broken down. I get in, turn the key, and go.

 

all great. never had any issues with any of them. fluids changed every 30k miles with OEM fluids until my last change when I made the swap to Amsoil. TCis fine, rear diff is good, tranny shifts smooth as ever, motor still runs strong.

 

I'm bored so decided to add it all up. You've had the car for 1,612 days since October 22nd, 2005. Given that information, that means you drive an average of 93.05 miles per day! Holy fack! lol. You're filling up probably every 2 or 3 days!

Probably not something you want to know but lets figure out how much money you've probably spent on gas. Let's just use a nice even number like 20mpg. Sure you may get a little more or less every now and then but I'd say 20 is a good starting point. And we'll say $3p/gal is the average price you've probably paid for gas. I'm sure depending on where you live it's probably more than that, especially if you're using 93/94 octane.

150,000miles / 20mpg = 7,500 gallons

Then you take 7,500 gallons X $3.00 p/gal = $22,500 on gas! Basically you could have bought a second Evo with cash to spare with the amount of money you've probably spent on gas. lol.

 

Shoot thats nice. What do you do on that car? Deliver mail?
Mail man on a evo.. that whould be slick..
Congrats hope you have 150k trouble-free miles more.

 

lol well I had a 300 mile round trip commute to work for close to 9 months. I put around 45k miles on the car in 9 months. during that stretch I would start with a full tank, use about 3/4 of a tank getting to work, fill up, use 3/4 getting home, then fill up again to do it all again the next day. at the time this was going on, gas was over $4 a gallon. it was like paying another house note in gas every month. i finally moved closer to work though. now my commute is about 26 miles round trip to work.

 

thats crazy. well goodjob i guess. if your trying to put miles on the car? whats the average amount of miles an evo could max out at anyone??

 

4retech has 201k but thats with 03 8..

 

Good to see a EVO IX MR running strong with that many miles, gives me hope!
