That's right!

200,000 miles. What an awesome car. It has treated me very well despite the abuse I put it through... treating it like a truck and a race car and a winter beater. But its still running great and looking good too! Just a little bit of rocker panel rust. So here are some more pics from the last 2 weeks.

Some of the modz, I love every one of them:
MTX75 swap w/ Exedy OEM clutch
Torsen
Rally brake kit with Axxis ULT front pads
Koni yellow fronts, Bilstein PSS9 rears on Eibach pro-kit springs (wagons have progressive rear springs in the pro-kit)
10.5:1 compression with FR2 cams, Eibach valve springs, Supertech valves
3" intake with 3" maf, FC 65mm throttle, and the 2000IM
2.25" FS Stealth exhaust with JBA shorty and RT HFC and the 2.25 flex off of the old Goatmobile (only the OG's will remember this one!)
SCT Pro Racer tuned by moi
125wrms per side to Phoenix Gold RSD65CS components
350wrms to an Image Dynamics IDQ10.v2 in a sealed down-firing box


[cheers] Here's to 100,000 more! Factory block still has 185 190 190 190 compression [woot] and I have half of a custom turbo kit sitting on my shelf waiting for this summer [deviltail]

Thanks!

^ woot for winter mode and timing belt swap [:D]

My mother in law put 130,000 on it driving 40 miles each way to work and 15 miles each way to the store (they live in the sticks) from January 2002 when it was new until August 2005 when she gave it to my then girlfriend now wife.

I imagined it. Then I did it.

It all started with the famous thermostat housing leak in the summer of 06. After I fixed that I just started making things better all over the car.

That interior of your car is awesome.

Good looking car and Happy Belated 200K Mile BDay to your car.
