Originally posted by EclipseSix I gotta ask, noticed your sig.. hows the car holding up with all that mileage?? I'm coming up on 90k and I've had the HG and fuel pump and a rebuit tranny already, what about you? I'd love to keep this car until 200k, but I never thought I could afford the repairs that I'll inevitably have to do. Whats your experience been with it?
I'll be crossing into 200k this weekend!!!
Since my father who owned the car before I did never really did any maintenance it's kind of "iffy".
134k Whole timing assembly (belt/pulleys/tensioner, and even the water pump were replaced)
156k Trans rebuild (leaked fluid and I thought it was engine oil = my bad)
170k Replaced front left wheel bearing (trans shop fucked up and didn't torque the axle nut correctly)
196k Radiator hit something or something hit radiator = Replaced
Other than that stuff it's decent, sure I go through 3-5 quarts of oil between my 3000 mile oil changes and need to replace spark plugs every 3-6 months. But I finally got a new upstream O2 sensor which might have solved that problem.
Never had the HG replaced!!! Probably why I lose so much oil.
EDIT: Oh yeah, and sometimes when I'm on the highway oil and stuff gets on my exhaust pipe and the catalytic converter starts smoking.
It still runs, needs to warm up for about 15-20 minutes before it's driveable. But it can still go to redline, which it does almost every day.
