I bought my GG GSR new in 08 from SCM. Blew the engine a few months back with about 65k miles on it. My car was leaking oil or something because the oil change was only 800 miles old when the engine blew with no CEL and the car has hardly been beat on.

****ty situation and I guess it just happens sometimes, good news is I got the car back a week ago with a brand spanking new 4B11 in her. Gonna take advantage of the new engine and drop a GT35r in it along with some other stuff. Will post dyno results when shes all done!

Rolling up to having mine for a year now. Couldn't be happier with (knock on wood) no problems. The only maintenance I have had to do is to change the oil and tires.

roughly 36,xxx miles on it now.

Bought mine new in Jan '09. Got about 44k miles now. Changed the plugs @ 40k miles, change the oil every 2500, fluids every 15k. Never raced or tracked. Still on stock clutch.

Runs like new.. Actually better than new since I don't have the crappy stock '08 tune.

Minor Issues:
Passenger Side Daytime Headlight went out under warranty (a lot of people have had the same headlight go out). Replaced under warranty.
Paint Issue: None - I put clear bra on the rear doors it prevented the chipping.
Windshield Replacement: Rock hit the glue line, cracked half way across

New Issue: Threw a P0171 code, then went away yesterday.
Rough Idle.

Normal Stuff:
Brakes: Ferodo's - almost eliminate the trucker stop brakes. 31K
burned through Brembos at 16K.
Steel Braded Brake Lines
Tires

She just hit 90k miles. Lucky to say that I haven't had stretched chain and still on stock clutch. Have always done basic maintenance work. Plugs, oil change, air filter, brakes.
In the process of going with a bigger turbo and finally going to change clutch and chain.

Just put on my FP red and tubular Mani. No real problems yet. Paint is starting to fade, needs a break job, lots of rock chips. 35,000 miles. Looking to sell it. Got the 2013 BRZ! Supercharged it and put on headers and full exhaust. Pulls pretty good, but not as hard as the EVO!
