I'm only at 91k on mine but man this thing still runs strong! I see no reason why it won't go beyond 200k and still make good power.

Just the normal high-milage stuff comes to mind
Optispark
Water pump
Spark plugs / wires
Alternator
Window lift motors
Clutch disk (if M6)
Transmission mount
Throttle body elbow (mine was cracked at 95K)

173,500 mi, went to the track yesterday and ran a 15.2 @ 92 I spun real bad with a 2.5 60'. But still something is up. The run before that i ran a 15.7 @ 89 with a 2.3 60'. I logged the runs via datamaster and the com. was retarding the timing 6-7 deg the whole run, peaking at 11 deg I looked around the engine compartment and nothing is loose. I'm going to get a lt4 km and see if it helps. Also whith this many miles is it possible the cat is pluged? The plugs/wires were also changed 10k miles ago.

135,500 miles.
Thats engine and body, everything else has been gone through at some point.
It keeps getting faster though.

28k, I think it's almost broken in. Maybe one of these days I'll get on it and see what it's got.
