200,000, give the girl a nice wash and a new pair of shoes. Have you had to replace things like bushings?

Nah, most of the bushings have held up. The upper strut mounts are making some slight noise though.

That is Awesome!!! 200k

I have had my EVO IX MR since June of 2006... I am stressing on hitting 45,000 miles.

I have taken her up to a buck-45 here and there. Always change the fluids like crazy.

Have been skeptical about modding her... Not sure how dependable it is too do so. I would like to send her to camp out in Ohio or Wisconsin to Buschur or AMS to get her in shape. A good 500-600 HP exercising would do. I want to keep her running as a daily driver and would hate to have to be in the garage more then on the road. I don't beat on her at all but do like to test top speed. We have plenty of long open roads to do so. Top speed I have had her is at 157.. She is bone stock other then the Hawk brake pads and K&N drop in.

I do have a question...Anyone know people that still have there cars running in top condition that have had builds by either shop? I was wondering whose build last the longest. You see all these youtube videos where you clearly see those are the two best shops to get a solid build...but how long do they last... Just curious. Do you think you could make them last 200k? (I mean if your not driving it like a retarded teenager of course.)

I would say try either shop, just give them a call, they are both great. Mr. Buschur is actually on this thread.

Makes me curious who has, say, the car that's been Stage II for the greatest number of miles and how reliable has the car been.
