I bought mine with 150,000 miles on it last year. The original engine failed due to the IMS blowing up at 150,000 miles. Pedro Bonilla installed a 39,000 mile engine in the car along with all new major components (DOF for IMS, Water Pump, Clutch, etc...) and the car has 155,000 miles on it now.

My friend has a 97 with a 145,000 miles on the original engine. Clutch and IMS were replaced at 90,000 miles. The car lives a hard life doing AutoX and track duty. The original IMS was in perfect condition when it was removed from the car at 90,000 miles.
