Going to hit 250,000 Miles in my Evo.....

Some of you might know me. I drive a lot.

Yes, I'm a regular here,LOL. (my wife hate's it )

I just did an oil change and left wheel bearing. I realized that the next oil change I will be over 250,000 miles.

Most of you know the engine was redone at 209K.

But, anyway not much has gone wrong with the car even with the BBK Full and E85 tune. I was going to do a list like previously, parts that were changed to 200K, but nothing really went bad.

Link to last list: https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/ev...000-miles.html

I'll post pictures at 250K like last time I hit 200K,LOL

As for now I will be going to the Akuma BBQ in NJ and hope to meet fellow EvoM members.

Just wanted to remind guys, take care of the car and it will last you.
Also the group of guys here on EvoM are the best

Highest mileage Evo in the country?

Glad to see it's still going strong, any reason you had to redo the engine? I figured the 4G63 had more than 200k in it before a rebuild.

Congrats man! that's sick....

BTW - what maintenance did you have to do after the 60k service? I just had my 60k done a few months ago, it was fairly expensive....but I got nearly everything done that needed to be replaced/changed.

Also - How often do you hit boost? You must baby the crap out of the car to have a BBK-Full & E85.

I'm very curious as to how it's lasted you that long, that's impressive. Congrats again.

-Danny
