150K Miles

[TheMadHatta]

Who else has hit the 150K miles mark?

[Jim In Indy]

How's life at the 150k mark!?!?!?

I just cleared 104,000 myself......

[TheMadHatta]

well ive had bad luck thus far....but it seems everything is smoothing out

[Danno]

i'm just a hair under 130,000.

WOW, that seems so far away for me at 64,000. Of which I put 32,000 over the course of 4 years(I got the car in 05 with 32,000 ) I have put 0 miles on it this year for obvious reasons :p For this year, begins the tear down and upgrading of the engine into a race engine which will take about an additional year to finish AFTER this year is over. After which it will see no more than maybe 1000 miles a year in Japan.

Nope, although I could and have it look normal to Japanese people. But, car is being turned into a true street legal race car. roll bar cage, seats, and wheels will will be installed in Japan once it gets here.

Nope, I'm going to do J18 engine but still researching what I want to do for parts do bore out to 1900cc-2000cc (stock I am at 1850cc). I will be running NA setup. When I feel anxious for it, I will maybe do a turbo setup with about 4lbs of boost to do a few top speed runs. Aerio 5th gear will help out in reaching my 160mph top speed. Planning on setting up the stand alone ECU to run revs up to minimum 8K rpm. I could go on but I might need to use the good old pirate emoticon.

Ive got bout 109,000 right about now...but have taken up walking to work 3-4 days a week, cause I now live 1/2 mile from the office, which has to be hard on the motor never really getting a chance to warm up fully...so I REALLY try and limit those types of trips.

Its funny, when I do drive to work...I do a big loop around my work to allow the car to warm up, but Id still feel better if I had atleast 20 mins to get the fluids circulating and the cat up to temp. But it REALLY sucks when Im running late!

Long time since I have posted, but I thought that I would chime in while I was on here. Mine is an 05 with just under 130,000 miles on it. We average about 100 miles a day on it going to work and back, not to mention the extras. Still running strong though. Actuallly, my wife slid off the road at the beginning of December and hit a post. Cost about $4000 to put it back together the right way. My body shop did a great job though. He even managed to get me both fog lights new so that they would match, a set of four tires, and fixed a scratch or two here and there without me having to come up with my deductible! Couldn't be happier, and as good as new! I just hope that I can get another 100,000+ miles out of it!

Inky is at 112K. She is doing fine for the most part, since I moved to Houston I put very little miles on her. And now even less since I quit my job last year to focus on school, still got like 2 semesters damn it.

Anyways, I noticed she seems to near a little toward the driver front tire. If I look at her head on, I can see it. And how do you tell if the springs are going bad? I am thinking of replacing them.

I want to have her looked at soon, to make sure everything is in working order. What should I have looked at, and how much should it run me and who should I go to? There is a Suzuki dealership in town, I have had very little dealings with them though. I brought Inky in for a Bulletin once and bought a few minor parts that has been it.

Oh also, at around 65 and up there is a shimmy, if I take my hands off the steering wheel I can see it move left to right. What is that, unbalanced front tires?

I'd be so happy to say I only have that many miles. Keep doing what your doing.
