269k? WOW! how long have you had the car? how much mileage does it have when you got it?

 

do you keep the car garaged when not driving it?

aside from that fog on that passenger headlight it does look very well kept.

lets see the engine bay also.

 

Since Feb '05, with 64K on it.

Yeah, the headlights were restored a little after the picture. They turn yellow after a while.

Here is my engine comp.. Although dirty because I just took this picture at work,LOL.

Nothing special, that way the wife can't say much.

your car is what inspired me to not build my bottom end yet and see how far I can push it...

190k and counting so far, trying to beat your 209k record lol

 

Sorry if you already stated this but what type of oil and weight you use? How often? What does your overall maintenance check entail and how often?

 

3-5k on oil changes.

5w-40 mostly, but 10-30 and 10-40 occasionally.

Here is an old thread: https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/ev...000-miles.html

 

thanks very much, what a detailed thread. looking forward to your 1 million milestone thread.

 

Can you give a quick run down of what exactly you changed when you say "timing kit"? Is it typically what you get when you get one of those gold packages from Russellm? Thanks

 

Ah, yeah, if you look at the site. It's called the timing belt kit.

The gold is above it.

Nice evo. Good job. I believe in maintenance all the way. I thought I had alot of miles, I'm pushing 160,000 miles no problem.

 

Where in Middletown? PM me, I live in Middletown.

 

Not to far off county rt78

I work for Healey brothers .In goshen

 

TSCOMPUSA, sorry I forgot. for the first 3 years I owned it it was parked outside not covered. Since that it now sits in the garage every night since I bought my house.


Damn it, I have to do another 60K,

 

I havent read the whole thread to see if this question has been asked but ill ask it. do you live like 2 hours away from work that you have to drive to 5 days a week? how do you rack that many miles?

 

I live about an hour away from work 45 miles. But usually I do some running around before heading home. On average about 100-120 a day. Maybe more if we go out after work,LOL. When running 93, I try and buy gas in NJ(cheaper). And I have 4 E85 stations on my way to work.

Oh, I work 6 days a week and on Sundays usually drive to CT or NJ.
