How long should this engine last???
Hey guys. I haven't been on here in forever! But anyway, I bought my Evo in 2003 new and it now has over 60,000 miles. I do a lot of highway driving in case you were wondering. It is completely stock and has been driven pretty conservatively since it's been bought. It was properly broken in and has never been beaten on (too bad that is hehe). Honestly, of course I've taken it up to redline god knows how many times, had it up to 157mph (on a closed track of course), but 99% of the time, it's driven at 70mph on the highway to and from school. My question is that I just had to have my original clutch replaced and it's getting replaced as we speak. I understood that the Evo's weak point was its clutch. In fact, the dealership I took it to here in PA said they never had an Evo with 60k+ miles on the odo before that hasn't had its clutch replaced already. I think that deserves an award (jk). Anyway, to get to my question, I'd like to keep this car for another 60k+ miles if I could. Do you guys see any problems I'm likely to run into as far as the engine goes or the turbo even. Because if many forseeable problems lay ahead, I may just go and buy a new one. Thanks for any feedback!
