Question, Did you have to do any major repairs before you reached 150?
Repairs....just the standard
Alternator
Water Pump
Water overflow reservoir
Air Oil Seperator...later found out it was not the cause of my problem, so it did not have to be replaced.

When I had the clutch replaced in the low 100,000 mile area I replaced the RMS.
Coilovers now instead of the oem struts.


I change the oil every 10k miles, rev the engine near redline everyday, and I never go past 4k rpms until the engine is warmed all the way. Plus the most important thing is I drive it!!

These are solid built cars. As long as they are taken care of they will last. When I ride in a car that is not made like a porsche 70,000 or 80,000 miles and the car looks land drives like it is going to die.

Do your self a favor today. do what I am going to do...take your Porsche out (sorry guys up north) and DRIVE it....then go home and wash it.

Happy New Year.

Growing up the car magazines said how amazing Porsches are. Was I brainwashed? Somehow...I doubt it.
