Default Happy 230,000 to my car

Well guys, I hit 230,000 K on the ODO, she runs perfect props to Toyota engineers.



I Ran 16.1 on the 1/4mi with a intake and exhaust and the heavy chrome 18's on, I haven’t been to the track in a while but with the new MAF, under drive pulley and tranny work I should post a decent time for a car with this many miles.

Default Highest miles on an SC

Who else has high original miles? I know I've seen a few with over 300k, but I wonder how high these can go.

Who has the highest mileage and what maintainance have you done to keep it running?

I'd love to see a pic of a super clean SC with over 300k on the cluster!

Congrats!!!

I hit 231k last night.Currently at 231020. My interior is in good condition, the engine is solid!! Drives like it has 50k on it, before i slapped on the 18s and dropped it two inches My front bumper and hood needs a respray because as you can guess rock chips owns the front end except the headlights.

It's all in the maintenance. Anyone who wants to see 200+ with a good running car just needs to keep the oil changed and replace ALL rubber parts under the car.

Congratulations. If you take good care of her you'll probably be seeing another 230,000 out of her. Im almost at 300,000 and I last ran a measily 15.8.
