I bought my GG GSR new in 08 from SCM. Blew the engine a few months back with about 65k miles on it. My car was leaking oil or something because the oil change was only 800 miles old when the engine blew with no CEL and the car has hardly been beat on.
****ty situation and I guess it just happens sometimes, good news is I got the car back a week ago with a brand spanking new 4B11 in her. Gonna take advantage of the new engine and drop a GT35r in it along with some other stuff. Will post dyno results when shes all done!

Rolling up to having mine for a year now. Couldn't be happier with (knock on wood) no problems. The only maintenance I have had to do is to change the oil and tires.
roughly 36,xxx miles on it now.

She just hit 90k miles. Lucky to say that I haven't had stretched chain and still on stock clutch. Have always done basic maintenance work. Plugs, oil change, air filter, brakes.
In the process of going with a bigger turbo and finally going to change clutch and chain.

Just put on my FP red and tubular Mani. No real problems yet. Paint is starting to fade, needs a break job, lots of rock chips. 35,000 miles. Looking to sell it. Got the 2013 BRZ! Supercharged it and put on headers and full exhaust. Pulls pretty good, but not as hard as the EVO!
