I've got 259,000 miles, new motor went in at 215,000 (bad clacking) 4 rear ends (all due to racing), 1 tranny, 1 optispark, 1 waterpump, and 4 clutches (one clutch died after 2k miles). Thats not too bad in my opinion

Over 166k...

Let's see...

Opti changed twice, but I don't consider that a "problem," more of a maintenance thing. Of course the waterpump was changed twice as well.

A/C replaced at around 115k, been okay since then. Sounds like I need a new compressor again.

Broken head bolts back about a year ago, had to take the entire top end off in order to take the heads off & retap the bolt holes, cuz the bolts busted in half...Also bought new headers at the same time, so I'm sitting pretty cool.

Changed the clutch @95k, again, maintenance.

That's it!
