Just wondering whats the highest mileage any one has got on their car and what type of problems has any one experienced with high miles?

As im about to hit 199,000 miles but had brand new engine fitted 50k miles ago with new vf28 and brand new STI suspension etc...

 

29.5k, MY99 type R, you cant really call it high mileage though

Bought my 99 4 yrs ago with 54k on it now got 115k no real probs radiator and maf sensor ! What a car couldn't ask for better!

 

My UK 97 wagon has a DIY PPP at 142,000 miles, still on original (very slappy) engine but has eaten 2 gearboxes, a rad, a power steering cooling pipe, and new shocks all round.

Wife's UK 97 saloon has 135,000 miles and will be on it's 3rd engine soon, has also had a rad and will be getting new shocks when running again.

Both have had new clutches as a precaution, and the ubiquitious 4 pots.

The back up Fiesta has done 120,000 miles, totally standard, and is the youngest of my 4 cars LOL

 

just got my 98 2000 turbo last week with 86k mile's not high i and its had nothing that i know of apart from parts that wear ie suspension,brakes ect

some small blistering on rear arches

 

ive been through a gearbox aswell, as im running 330 bhp and same torque, got a Sti 3 v limited box and R160 diff, mines got the 4 pots aswell, has any one suffered any rust? as mine doesnt really have any

 

My car is low mileage - 1998 with 52K. Still 11 years old though, and bodywork immaculate. Not a speck of rust in sight, only thing which shows its age really is the door card on drivers side, tha handle part is all bumpy.

 

Rear arches and above the windscreen can be pretty common, mine had both (10 years in the uk for you) all resprayed now though

My wagon ok but just had the wifes roof resprayed for screen edges front and rear. They are twelve years old tho

 

bought the car 2.5 years ago, had 24k on it now has 40k.
Not a lot of miles. The only thing have had to do(not moddify) is service it and put a new windscreen in thanks to a nasty stone chip.

 

Ours is all original and has 107k on.

Famous last words as it'll start to fall in pieces from here on in!

 

Sunnysideup will be along soon. Think he is going for interstellar mileage by keeping his standard. Never known someone so anti mod.

 

27k 55 plate

 

1997 JDM WRX just about to go to 148k Still on original clutch and gearbox but a 2nd hand bottom end last year at 130k.

 

1997 uk wagon with 135000 miles no probs at all just abit of rust on Rear arches,but its only had one owner and full history so not to bad

 

Mines an 02 sti on 91.000 been running around 370bhp since about 30,000 and has had a clutch @ 75,000 other than that its been sound

 

my 98 uk turbo, had it 4 years has 83k miles on it now, only probs i had is springs on the front, brake pipe on the back above petrol tank, but when i put a new one on, i ran it on top of the axle as its easier to get to now

and bubles on top of the winscreen and on the side pillar, but at this moment the pillars and the start of the roof is in primer with the screen out

 

1999 RB5, just turned 60,000 miles

Had a full rebuild at 52K though, that was 3 years ago when i bought it wth the rebuild just completed

 

MY 93 import, showing 98700 mixed km and miles, converted = 65000 miles

Not mine, I hasten to add. There was a thread on here about it a few weeks back.

 

My '98 Legacy is on 148,000 miles give or take. Still on original engine and gearbox AFAIk. Radiator replaced a few weeks ago but that was due to a low speed front-ender. Suspension replaced, some rust on rear arches and bubbling above windscreen. I fear the HG might be on the way out and the rocker gaskets definitely need doing.

Other than that it's doing very well but it has been looked after. Oh, it's very slappy on startup but has been since at least the last owner had it at 60k miles or so and still going strong.

 

Ive noticed that on the drivers side rear arch has started to bubble, is there any thing i can do to stop it? as i had a full car respray about 6 months and was taken down to bare metal before it was reprayed

 

124600miles on 1997 uk 2000 turbo wagon, bog standard original engine & gearbox, just had first clutch replaced. It did a 15.0 & a 14.6 sec. 1/4 mile at santa pod on saturday beating a 3l n/a supra and a prelude type s by over a second so I was well happy as it was my first time on the track. Then when I was done I towed the caravan home with it!

 

117K on my UK S-turbo, clutch and rad is all, one of the guys on the Foz forum's JDM car hit 220K on original engine and box....had little mora than what would normally be considered as service items.

scooby350, probably breakthrough from the rear, its a 'proper' jpb needed, so cut out rust and weld in fresh, spraying the front won't have fixed that!

MY99 208200 miles / 335000 km

Never had any issues with her, just starts every morning and takes me to work, done that for 5 years

95 turbo wagon, done 111,000.

I managed to buy a standard 1996 uk turbo last year, with 56k on it (On 63k now). Only done around 10k in the past 5 years before I got it, full dealership history, but has had replacement clutch already, and gearbox removed and refitted. I have had to replace the rad, and coolant header tank, apart from that it's been running sweet as
