It was pretty easy, my miata filter was hard to reach and messy.

I took the same 100k miles pic in my 2004 986S. Sadly, 6 months later my IMS failed. Tell me you haven't bought into the "if it's good at 30k it will be good for 230k" myth.

Nope. I had the IMS done along with the clutch and RMS when the car hit 85,000 KM last year. Peace of mind is worth every penny.

That's only 62,000 miles...that's nothing! You've barely broken it in!

Very True! But still cool seeing the odometer flip from 099999 to 100000.
