85 K

The first EVO 8 in the US just cracked 85 K on the speedo . Did I mention it has the stock clutch . The EVO doesn't have a weak clutch , just weak drivers I've had no problems other than the gauge lights burning out .

I read it as, he has the first USDM Evo, and that car just broke 85k. Not that his car has more miles then anyone else.

Just my guess.

Musicbox is correct . Yes I did everything MITSU suggested and then some . Like change the Mobil1 every 3k or less .No problems other than gauge light bulbs ( big whoop) Another trick I learned was to invert the Advans,(take right front off of wheel and put on left front wheel , etc . ) which has lasted me over 25 k .

Now that hunting season is over , there is a ****load of dirt roads to be had I found a really cool jump in Abbeville SC that lets you get about 50 -100 feet of air . Game Wardens LOVE me and my four banger Anybody that says that a car can't outrun a radio is wrong With a little help from radioshack of course (5KW generator/scrambler , no signal in or out , within a 10 mile radius)
