seems like you are the leader in the mileage department so far..
what non-maintenance repairs have you had since becoming the owner?

Canvas top, coolant reservoir, water pump, ignition switch, window regulator, arm-rest hinge, MAF, brake master cylinder. That's about it. Really not bad for a car that's almost nine years old that i drive frequently on a race track. Still has the original clutch.

It's the 'extras' that get me:

new wheels / tires, new gear shift, new e-brake lever, painted interior, M030 suspension, racing harnesses, fire extinguisher & mount, clear tails & corners, stereo upgrade, GT3 nose, racing pedals, the list goes on. by far the biggest expense has been tires. i replace rears about every 4K miles and fronts at about 7K.

The way that people on this board care for their cars (impeccable adherence to the maintenance schedule, etc.), I see no reason why any of these engines, if driven with a bit of restraint, shouldn't see 200k.

I'll let you know in 10 years or so if that's the case.
