It still has the original engine and transmission. I had the IMS and RMS changed when the transmission was out last month so I hope I don't have to worry about those two problems for awhile. I've also replaced almost all of the parts that are known to be prone to failure. Once you get to know these cars they are surprisingly easy to work on.

I only thing I can't stand about the car is that stupid speedometer 'safety factor'.

I also want to thank all the people on this forum who have helped me with repairs these past few years.

Congrats,

I picked my '98 up in February with ~78k miles on it, and it now has 87k on it in 6 months. Just a couple minor things needed to be replaced immediately, and it has been to the track twice now for a good workout.

Enjoy putting on the next 100k miles on your car.

BC.
