Turned 200K while doing 100mph!

[RallyKeith]

Well, my 95 turned past 200k miles last night. Since I was on a closed section of highway at the time I chose to do it in stile. I took a picture with my cell phone, but for some reason both Razor phones I've had have an issue with showing a good image, but after saving it it turns to garbage. SO, I don't have a picture, but at 200K she is plenty capable of acheiving speeds over 100mph. Oh, did I mention that I always carry about a 50 pound sub-woofer box, and last night I was carrying 4 neon wheels and tires, a big jack, and a passanger, and it was technically a slight uphill grade when I hit the speed. Other than seals the engine is all original, and doens't use or loose any oil. Transmission needed the main bearing on the input shaft last month, but I think the gear oil was original still when I changed it at around 180k.

 

Looking forward to another 100k! This weekend starts the upgrading of the lights!

I bought the car about 2 years ago with 160K on it. It needed a clutch, so at that time I did the rear main seal and the seperator plate. Then a few months later I did the timing belt and front seals. I was running plain castrol 5w30 with changes between 3-4k... That was until it hit 190k. At 190k I switched to Castrol Synthetic Blend 5w-30, and ran it to 5000 miles. At that oil change I still got all 4 quarts back out. I'm changing the oil tomorrow night (another 5k) and can't wait to see what I get out. I use the Puralator pure one filters. I plan on doing the same thing from here on out.
