I have 143,000 on mine (2002) and it runs and sounds great! I need a rear main seal, as I have a small oil leak. That gets done at clutch time. Other than that, it's all good if you're content with 190 hp.

I just bought one with 153k on it. Runs just fine. Got some take-off wheel spin on damp roads!
