well... my FD hit 100K this weekend on the original engine and still running strong... have to say that it's the best damn car I've ever owned...

a few bumps along way in the 22K/year and a half that I've owned it, like a blown turbo coolant hose, Intake Thermosensor, flooded once, boost leak or two... but nothing major and believe it or not, it still has the original vacuum hoses on it! (told myself I wasn't going to change them until they really started going)

what a f**king great car!!!

Viva la FD!!!

heh heh... nothing run in that thing except for good old Valvoline 10W-30 (never run anything except for Valvoline in any of my cars) , I did run Mobil 1 for one oil change and switched back after it leaked like hell

not sure if that's what they want to hear though, don't really want to get caught up in THAT argument

Only 100K....

My first motor let go at 170,000Kms (just over 100K miles) so get ready...

The second motor I pulled down b4 blowing at 165,000 Kms and the apex seals were at min height.

Welcome to the three figure club dude
