not like you all care or anything but i just want to tell everyone my car is finally went over the hill today with 200k but still running strong... guess it's time to think about port and polishing :D....
Wow, that is truely amazing. Is it still the original motor and tranny? When you think about what happens everytime you start a car, it still amazes me they even last 200 miles, let alone 200,000. :cheers:

original motor but not tranny..... old one was grinding going into 3rd so i replaced it but while doing so put in a ACT 2600 clutch... right now i'm in the process of port and polishing another head i had purchase and should be installed by earlier summer of next year along with a FMIC...

Has anyone ever figure what the combined total milage of there car parts are.
IE If you have a 100k car blow the motor and put in a 50K replacement, your car would now have a 150k adjusted milage.
Just curious cause I bet I'm pushing 750k to a mil with all the used parts I'v put in.
Sorry to thread jack, but where you at?

If you have a car with 100k on it then drop in a 50k engine, you would really be at 75k adjusted miles if we are considering the engine to be half the cars worth. The logic behind this whole "adjusted mileage" is kinda dumb though :stick:

200k is a lot of miles. My work truck is still on stock block with a few new trannys but we figure its at around 5-700k, maybe more the odometer hasn't worked for over 6 years. My car is only pushing 87,000.
