She ran to 118 miles before I dropped the valve , lets just say FI isn't friendly on poor poor stella , but shes in for open heart surgery now and become a true project car.

I have 183,000 on my 2005 6MT. It is the most reliable vehicle I have ever owned -- and I'm in my 60s, so I have owned quite a few. I have done ALL of the maintenance and repair on it myself since I bought it new in April 2005. The most significant repairs I have had to make are:

- clutch master and slave cylinders
- the steering rack -- a broken boot led to seal failure
- a used OEM replacement muffler purchased on eBay -- the rest of the original exhaust is still intact
- adjustable upper control arms to counteract the excessive built-in negative camber that causes premature inner edge front tire wear
- driver's side window motor
- coolant thermostat

I installed an MREV2 lower plenum ages ago; it completely changed the way I felt about the car, as it gave it the upper midrange punch that it lacked from the factory. It has the typical "rev-up" engine oil consumption, so I have to add a quart of Mobil 1 Extended Performance 5W-30 every 900 miles or so. Remarkably I'm still on the original clutch, although it could stand to be replaced. YMMV.

My original clutch finally gave out at 220k miles. It can be done.

My 06 6MT is at 248k currently.

Just gone over 150000 on my 03 AT
Been buying replacement parts for those things not yet gone; idle pulley and bracket; valve cover gaskets; fuel injectors; etc... but the G is still going strong.
Best MOD to date: camber bolts for the rear suspension along with the Megan track series coil overs. A
The invidious cat back dual does sound quite lovely too.

Nice! As i already told myself as soon as I hit 150K, I'm dropping a complete new engine (2JZ) and tranny and turning it into a track car.

My coworker has two 2005 g sedans with under 90k. My 04 has 114 and that won’t change for awhile.

I'm in Urbana. Have you looked up National G Club? There's always meets in the area.

LoSt180 - Haha I drove past you the other day (no bull) as who would've thought you were about to hit 250K. But hey, she sounded fine to me when my window was down.\_ ^o^_/ Moreover, is who would've thought you knew about AutoCross as one of my IT colleagues just told me about that last week - except I'll be hitting up Tx2k18 instead.

P.S. And yes I've heard about NGC; as they've been doing their meets in Tysons (when I used to live in FFX County) as well as in Bethesda (as I just moved to the area). Rockville Pike get's loud as f*** on the weekend. LOTS OF STRAIGHT PIPES! TEST PIPES! AND MUFFLER DELETES!
