Highest mileage Evo X thread
#272
Bought her with 7 miles on the odometer January 2010. Now have about 81000 miles. She started out in California, then shipped her to Germany for 3 years of daily autobahn driving and now we’re in South Dakota. Main issues: tail light bulb, battery died once, and slave cylinder. That’s it. Went from stock to a MAP EF 2 and now MHI 18K. She still runs strong as heck. 👍🏽

It was pretty awesome, but after awhile it loses its fun alittle. You find yourself cruising at 120-130mph, but then driving 80-90mph becomes the norm. I also got there thinking the X would kill on the autobahn, but quickly ran into 600+ Audi wagons that were just mean as heck, on top of all the M2/3/4s too. But in the end it is fun and functional, especially if you think you may be late to work. Lol

2011 Evo X MR
This is my daily, I have had it for 2 years now. I bought it with around 87 thousand miles on it, I now have 166 thousand miles on it. Just took it to Jack's transmissions since the transmission oil pump went out. Besides this happening I have had no other mechanical issues with the car. Only thing done to it is the grimmspeed boost controller, intake, high flow cat and invidia single exit exhaust.

I stopped driving my full Bolton 2010 MR last year in June after I got my new daily driver. I bought her brand new in 2010.
All I do is move her in the driveway once a month.
She’s currently at 179XXX fun miles.
The most reliable car I ever had!
Still all stock clutches too

At 151,000 miles, my mechanic is telling me a rear wheel bearing is getting noisy and I really should have it replaced.
The replacement is only available from the dealer, will cost $350, and you really should replace them in pairs...
(Edit #1: I think I found the hub/bearing assembly at Rockauto-dot-com, from a brand my mechanic likes, for $150.)
(Edit #2: My mechanic doesn't like Centric enough to use that brand on track. He thinks OEM Mitsubishi is better? I guess I'll go with it.)
(Edit #3: Also changed a wheel speed sensor.)
(Edit #4: My transmission has started to grind about every other time I put it in Reverse.)

I'm just about to hit 161k miles. Now that I don't commute anymore and my work is less than 2 miles from home I hardly drive it. Odd time it goes to work or on a nice weekend. It's a true fair weather only car.

Really? Bad weather is a big reason I keep mine. When we're going to have puddles 5" deep, or when we get (our idea of) serious snow every other year, I can get in my Evo and be pretty sure it's THE car to be in.
(It could also be why I had to replace that AYC pump.)

I have a $2000 Ford Escape 4WD that's got a 1.5" levelling kit and 31's for crap weather and snow and slush and ice chunks flying off semis on the highway. That crappy escape goes through and over a lot more things than the Evo ever can or ever will. I know the car is great all around but I wanna keep it nice for a long time. That requires keeping it out of salt for the 5-6 months of the year.
