DAMN, I want to shake that guys hand. Now Im thinkin the 1UZ could last that long, but there is no way in hell it has the original tranny

 

At the rate my miles are going up i think i'll get to 600k maybe in 36yrs. my car has 150k now and its a 12 year old car. maybe i can give it to my child wheni have some ha

 

just as soon as i can get my sony cybershot to start working again, i'll have to do just that. that would involve finding the charger for it though, no idea where it went...

 

So list the major maintenance you had to do to the car to get it to last that long.

 

WOW!!!

622,000 miles on an SC!

Well, we're all still waiting for pics!!!
Also, major repairs done, ect. We need info!

 

Maybe its rebuilt with new bearings, new piston rings etc?

 

Is the car all stock?

 

pics please!

 

Haha sorry to bring this old thread up, but a few days ago something wierd happened with my car. I think my passenger door was left open, which I believe drained the battery. The car hardly started...
The battery was drained so much so that the clock on the dash reset itself. Anyway as I drove away from my shop I looked down and noticed my cluster read 624,XXX Miles!! I reached for my digital camera in my middle compartment but as I reached for it my milage went back to normal(195,XXX).

So it makes me curious if there was actually an SC with this many miles on it, or if it is just a glitch like what happened temporarily with mine??

Any idea what caused this wierd glitch Brian??

 

Jared, a glitch will reset itself, this cluster has been powered up several times and even driven for a while. It's genuine!

The cathode heater display only does what the chip tells it to do, and it is connected to capacitors. If a cap is drained it has to re-charge, which will take however long the circut takes depending on the resistance inline.

Once your cap was charged, it set itself back correct.

 

thats toyota for you.

 

wow...high milage and all his needles still work! mines cant even last 100k

 

Given that mine drives like it's band new: acceleration, handling/steering, suspension, brakes, etc, at 211K miles, I could totally believe 600K+.

 

Since my black SC4 has been with me for 9 years and my white SC4 has just entered the family in amazing condition with a full 100k tune up. I think I can go for the record so putting this here now since I seem to keep these cars ten years or longer.

Let the chase begin!

 

Very nice OLT!
