Ok, thank you. Mine is not terrible but definitely has a vertical crack.

Nice work. That's an amazing amount of driving. I calculated from every car I've owned that I have driven about 450,000 miles in my lifetime at 40 years old.

@T2 I would love to see a rough list of Set of tires, brake pads, rotors, clutches, engine rebuilds, tranny rebuilds……not prices. I would assume something like 2 set of tires per 100k, 1 clutch per 100k, etc. Would be wild to just see a rough list.

Good on you! Love it. Here’s;s to another 100k of happy motoring!

I would be shocked if you could get 50k out of a set of rear tires on a turbo.

Tires, too many to list...10-12k rears, maybe 15-18k miles fronts

Pads, not too bad actually, PCCB's go a long time, even at track

3rd set of front rotors, 2nd set rear rotors

1 transmission replacement

1 clutch replacement

Engine out at 383k, it was flawless inside

1 replacement set of turbos

Roughly 140 oil changes....that's about 1330 quarts of oil

Everything else is normal wear and tear

It's a bit comical now in a list

What suspension changes/replacements have been needed?

And thank you for sharing your wonderful adventure.

Love the list and yes it’s comical. And people say these cars are maintenance hogs. Amazing! Thank you!

Hi, I've had two sets of KW Clubsports after the stock shocks gave up. Currently on Bilstein PSS-10's. I have the GT-3 adjustable sways too.
