100K MP5 Club

[TurboTodd]

Rolled past 160,000 miles on Sunday.

Replaced tires (on 5th set), battery (once), brakepads (once, around 145K miles), headlights a couple of times (always fail in pairs, strange)..

Everything else is original.

Nice I just rolled up on 146k. replaced all 4 rotors with d/s and posi quite cermic pads. My gf toasted my rear rotors and pads by driving roughly 8 miles with the d-brake on! lol

I can't speak for tires expect that the car is on the 3rd set that im aware of by the recourds that I have found in the glove box (purchased used). Battery has been replaced once. Other then that its all stock other then what I have upgraded.

P.S. is your a ATx or MTX? If ATX do you drive it like its stolen or granny it? Has the tranny needed any work other then flushes?

I'm glad to see I'm not at the top of this ladder any more. I think Linuxracer and I were two of the first to 100,000. His was in an MP3 so he had a few months head start on me. I'm at 120,000 now. Things have slowed down now that I live 3 miles from work instead of 60 miles and I have 2 cars.

Manual trans.

I need to run a carfax of mine sometime to see the mileage pattern.. We don't drive between Texas and Tulsa every two weeks like we used to, but my wife and I each have a 35 mile commute each way. I drive the P5 one week, the Mustang the next, alternating the cars with my wife. We still manage to pile on the miles. The car will be paid off in the spring, and we plan on keeping it forever (seriously). I see it going a (somewhat) easy 500,000 miles. This spring it will take it's first service trip to the dealer in 5 years. She will be getting her belts changed, trans and radiator flushed.. And I'll take her to a detailer to have a full detail done.. She deserves it.

122,000 mi

[RN's X-7]

I just completed my 45th oil change. I have had four sets of tires, new brakes @ 100000, timing belt x2, fluids changed x2, 4 tune-up's, original clutch. I have changed the headlights 3 or 4 times once on the fogs. I drive 90 miles to work.My car is still nice and gets 30/31 miles on the highway I have never just driven her in town so I can't say what the milage is. The interior is a 9.5/10 and if it weren't for the little rock dings in the front bumper it would be a 9.5/10. 90% of the miles are on the highway and I have put on everyone of them. I love my car and will miss her dearly because I have to sell her due to a second child.

152,000 miles and going strong. Original clutch, just did the timing belt, for the first time, a couple of thousand miles ago, all the seals, drive belts, water pump, etc. I'm on the second battery due to an oversight by my wife, but other than that everything else is stock, well, except for the 18" wheels, lowered suspension, MP3 windsplitter, mazdaspeed exhaust, intake, drilled/slotted rotors, and short shifter. I'm still addicted to the handling this car provides, so much fun! Later.

[redpr5]

its an automatic.....so whole tranny FTL! not gettin done anytime soon, just dropped 3 grand for a new engine. so the tranny will either get rebuilt or replaced whenever it stops engaging 3rd all together. or just stops working all together.

i wish i had a clutch
