That's awesome! mine just hit 50K, so I won't sweat it. Looks damn good by the way! Keep us posted as you rack the miles up, any issues other than routine/scheduled maintenance?
That is awesome!

That is awesome.
Me too-wanting to know what needed to be done? Are you going to add your new turbo system? (365motorwerks)
Shakes, rattles, etc-anything needing work?
Original motor internals still?

Most of it was just regular maintenance, oil changes, air filter, plugs the regular stuff everybody does beyond that….
Runs great, ticks a little at idle but I have hear a lot of them doing the same, motor shakes a bit while in gear at a stop but I have some new Energy Suspensions motor mounts to hopefully stop that.
Yes I am putting my turbo setup through its paces for testing purposes on my box. And yes the front end could use some paint!
Here are some of the things that have been changed along the way…
I flushed the coolant system and added water wetter –Sitting in traffic with the AC on while going uphill I saw 225F!
New battery – Old one was getting slow in the winter
New belts – Stopped the squealing AC / Defroster
Many front pads and rotors, the rears are still stock! – Most of it due to stop and go warping the rotors the first set lasted 80,000!
Transmission oil changed along with filter and added a tranny cooler
A few bent rims and more than a few tires!
4 Windshields
