Yes all original driveline. I've put a couple sets of lower ball joints in, 1 set upper arms. 1 set control arm #2 bushings, original control arms and bushings, bilstein shocks, rear tie rods (control arm #2), lots of tires, only 6 or 7 oil changes since I got it (Amsoil signature series oil with oil analysis and 25-30k oil changes) timing belt, water pump with belt (no leak, just preventative), tensioner, idler pulleys (the big aisin kit), rebuilt starter at 290ish k miles, and the master cylinder boost pump motor (original master cyl) and that is about it.
It's been a great reliable car. I replaced Trans fluid a couple times, power steering fluid a couple times both with Amsoil ATF.
It sees wide open throttle a few times a day, it runs great.

316,000 and climbing
I bought my 2001 GS300 with 120k in 2010, got a good deal at $9500 because the rotors were warped as F. $150 later for new front rotors and pads, been a killer car ever since. Currently has 316k and climbing. Only issue so far, had to change the master cylinder brake assy at around 290. Bought a used one for $400 and replaced it myself. The dealer wanted $2800 just for the part. Oh, and of course all 4 electric lock motors have been done with Mabuchi motors, but there are how to's on this site.

My master cyl fail was only the boost motor dying. Smack it a few times and the motor could kick on and then the lights would go out and the alarm would stop screaming.
I have 2 door locks down, just need time to pull out and fix. I have the parts, just need time.
I picked up a used master cyl from junkyard for $300 and it was bad (master cyl not motor) so I swapped motor out on my master cyl and all is well.
