Yesterday I reached the 300,000 mark.
OK don't get too excited, this is in Km lol.

I ran a dyno about 20-30k ago and still had amazing power!
This was not on the straight pipe.

Just ordered my set of PPE headers too.

Unfortunately just two days ago my thermostat was acting up hence low temp on the coolant. Ordered a new one and will replace in a week or two.

Car has treated me so well and I cannot find or consider anything else to replace it with.
Every start up I still have a smile! Especially when I run my straight pipes off the Joez!!

Cheers

Great! Would you please list all the issues/repairs done with the car reaching 300k.

Wow that's amazing. Have you spend any money on repairs yet outside of regular maintenance stuff?

BTW no pictures of the outside of the car? LOL

Just curious is that in kilometers?

Yes, it was clarified in the second sentence.

How much was that straight pipe setup? Looks pretty sweet...and any sound clips?

SikkyMFG

Must have missed that! Still 186k miles on a performance car of this nature is awesome!

Below is a list of the repairs needed on this vehicle:

82000 - water pump

196638 - Drive belt changed - air filter clean


197000 - Battery change to interstate 24 size. 800 CCA. Mtp-24

205680 - Water Pump changed - Coolant fluid - water by pass hose and clamps


214600 - two recalls for radiator fan screws and fuel pressure switch.
oil change
coolant leak valley of heat exchanger


224740 starter replacement.

274870 - manifold pipe gaskets changed.



Current outstanding issues:

Thermostat seems to be stuck open. (should be an easy fix)

Mirror's auto tilt seems intermittent (perhaps the plastic gears are chewed up) anyone know where to buy this replacement gear?

Cold transmission flares - tried to redo level check twice. Perhaps next time I will just add more fluid. The "wait for the liquid to trickle is subjective?"

Leaking headers. I believe both sides. Lots of loud ticking on startup and I smell exhaust fumes at wot

Burning / losing oil - approx 1.5 quarts per oil change (unsure if this is fixable without redoing seals / rings / engine work. Thought maybe pcv would help but seems difficult to access.

Questioning if motor or transmission mounts are still good. Experiencing a little bit more wheel hop.

Thermostat and mirror problems - no big deal.

I'd be a little worried about the transmission, as well as oil consumption. But I guess that's to be expected with this many kms on your car.

Love seeing performance cars actually spending time on the road.

That's a reasonably large issue for 180k miles though... especially when there's quite a few on the forums that are around the 150k+ mark. I'd hate to see the downturn over those next 30k miles or so.
