4RETECH will probably hit 300,000 miles before I hit 50,000... and I'm at just under 44,000 now in a daily driven Evo haha.

But the motor has been rebuilt? Original 250k would be cool.

Motor was rebuilt at 209K miles which to me is still cool. I'd be very happy if I get 100K out of mine. I got 80K more to go.

Yes, car gets driven through the snow with 4 snow tires. That's what I boguth it for. I prefer Blizzaks myself.

A day after every snow storm when it is semi dry on the roads I wash my under carriage, wheelwells, front, back and sides. Keeps it from looking really bad.

Thanks, yeah i'm going to pick up a set of dunlop winter tires today. I can't afford another vehicle for winter so i'll see how the Evo does lol.

I was planning on pressure washing it every week or so during winter and was looking at this under carriage rustproofing this one business by me offers, it's not undercoat but some other type of spray. Just wasn't sure if it was worth the money or not, i might give it a shot though.

4RETECH Have you repaint the front end of the car? I am assuming you have a lot of rock chips.
