Just hit 200,000 km

Its an 06 ss/sc. i bought it brand new, i think it had 25 km on it off the lot, and just the other day it rolled over to 200,000 km.

The car is mostly stock, only has an injen CAI, B@M shifter and DC sports upper strut bar.

The car is holding up really well, only one big problem and that is a broken flex pipe at 62,000 km. 2,000 km after warrenty, and they would not warranty it for me...basterds

I have always used royal purple for motor oil, and red line 75w90 NS for trans fluid.

I take my car to the track twice a month in the summer/fall. my best time was a 14.28 @ 99.8 MPH. and i am on my origanal clutch, never had it slip ever!!!


Problems to date...

1) Fogged up head light at 5,000km
2) broken shifter knob cap at 40,000km
3) broken flex pipe at 62,000km
4) broken sway bar link at 150,000km


LOVE MY CAR!!!

yeah the car is going strong, i dont have alot of mods so maybe thats why, but i am so happy with my clutch, and this is my first manual transmission ever!!

PS. my intercooler pump will work then not work... just every once in a while i would hit it with a hammer, dont know how long that will work for me...
