23,000 with no major issues except the rotors were warped from the dealer.

Just regular maintanence (which is way more expensive that normal cars! )

Those warped rotors are under warranty and the dealership should replace them.

Coming up on 31k. Just had the 30k service done.

I'm still on the stock clutch. Just replaced the rear pads, front pads replaced at 17k. Stock tires lasted 15,500.

Only minor "issues" I've had so far that needed fixing:
wacky gas gauge
'warped' rotors (of course)
typical creaks and squeaks of an evo

10000 miles , pretty well modified and runnin strong. Amazingly enough Ive also been able to tune it to get 21mpg around town and 32-34 on the freeway .........as long as I stay at 65 on the freeway and I dont get the lead in my veins settling into my right foot!

18k no problems due to mileage... Just an intermittent stalling issue from day one that has seemingly cured itself.
