127K on my 98. The only problems I've had are a caliper braket bolt came off and locked my brake up, and a couple wheel studs broke. Both were kinda scary when they happened, but were really easy fixes. I still pound on it every day and go to the track on a regular basis, so I feel lucky.

99 with 120k. Runs like a champ. Great thing is the wife knows when doing routine things that only performance parts will replace the OEM parts so I do not have to take so much grief. If it was a low milage car with no problems then I would hear why are you changing that if it does not need it. I tried telling her my super charger was going to need to be replaced. Someone let her on to the fact I did not have one. Gotta try however.

98 TA with 49k miles mostly in storage
Issues:
Fuel pump
Water pump
Pop up headlight motor
Window motor
o2 sensor
Lots of tires
I'm sure you can put that combo together for how it's being driven
Any suggestions on what I should plan on failing next? Power Steering pump?Last edited by doctorleevil; 11-25-2009 at 03:53 PM.
