Oh geez, good to know it didn't mess with the timing belt. I figure 60k intervals is the safest bet with how most people drive their cars. Awesome job maintaining your car too. I read you launched it only a few times, was that at the track or not? Has your car even been tracked at all?

Btw 4RETECH, what rust, if any, do you have at 300k+ miles and living up in Rockland county in the Winter. Corrosion is more of a concern to me than mechanical wear.

But I have a very good feeling that since my car doesn't sit it actually looks better than ones that do. I have seen some Evos that sat over the winter with tons of rust underneath. Then again after every major snowstorm I usually do an under carriage spray down with water to get the salt/sand mixture out from under the car.
There is surface rust on some stuff. I'll try and take a quick picture tonight.

What do you do to protect the paint? Wax? 3M Shield?
I know the engine bays of winter DD can suffer from a lot of corrosion making the car hard to work on due to bolts rounding off or snapping.

Thanks
