still running the original timing chain?

That is a lot of miles

It would be interesting if you listed all the items that needed to be replaced in its tenure

I could only boast about my 134,000 km in 11 years (83,000mi)

Congrats! That is a ton of miles in a short time, I agree. You going to keep playing Russian roulette with it and see how far it goes, or dump it at a particular future milestone?

polarbexar,

Congrats on hitting that milestone! That really is a lot of miles in a little over nine years.

Yeah, I'm still running the original timing chain. What can I say, I like to live on the wild side. I keep it maintained, and often inspect components. I also keep it in the garage over night. The only thing I need to address on it now is to top off the a/c compressor ( froze up on me at the end of summer ). I'm hopeful I'll get another 100k out of it.
