Looking forward to seeing many more miles! Its driven from Canada - FL on the east coast and as far west as the Mississippi River. It still has the original 2.5L, but plans are in place for the 3L. I was hoping to get to 200k by its tenth bday but oh well. I enjoy driving the car everyday!
 
Still original 2.5.

Only thing that has been replaced because it broke was the differential. The original clutch still had plenty of life when I pulled it at 175k. I put in the spec stage 2. Needs new shocks and waterpump. When I installed the headers the gaskets werent put on right so a bad leak formed, which killed the torque and hp. The interior, when cleaned right, is still in great shape. New headlights as well since I didnt want to clear the original ones. I just used some TYC covers and installed them into the OEM housings.
