I have 74K so far, and all I have had fail is a temp sensor, but after removing it and putting it back in, it still works fine. Other than fluid changes, filters, and a set of front brakes, the car is still all original.
Like someone else has already said, dont expect anything to fail, just keep regular maintainance on everything.

About a month after I started to drive Conty, I had to have the Timing belt done (about 102K miles?) Then shortly after I needed spark plugs(went through 3 sets before I got the right ones) Wires (Soon to be replaced with for Racing wires... Thanks to R_G) Coil pack. Then shortly after that I needed to do my Right back brake, the Cylender was shot in it, so my uncle, dad and I replaced the whole thing. Took about 4 hours. Now, I believe there is nothing to important wrong, besides having to replace my PCV valve. I should be cool

Well, I've had the car for over a year now and bought it with 78,484 on the odo. Now it read approximately 83,500...and in those 5,000 miles I've had to replace nothing.  Though I did have to replace all my spark plug wires which was not a fault the car had, but rather rats that crawled up into the engine bay on cold winter days and chewed right through them. Needless to say I was pissed handing over the money to fix that, but hey at least it wasn't the car failing.

Anyways for those with miles on their car, unlike mine what can I expect to fail between 70k-80k? I know every car isnt the same, but just a general idea.
Anwyays not this year but next year March or so I plan to replace the PCV valve/hose, few filters, intake manifold gasket, valve cover gasket ( leaks slighty as it is), replace IAC valve, clean EGR valve, flush coolant, clean A/C high pressure switch.
thanks
dude, where did you get your rims/wheels for your car? Look great

yeah, I have the same ones on my car. They are the SVT E1 Cobra Style rims. You can get a set from another CEG'er for really cheap used.
