just turned 130,000kms on my '99Z. I bought it with 106k and change, and have beat it up with almost no problems.

I heard ... that the 2.4's like to blow up internally without warning.
I've heard that the water pump weep hole runs into the oil pan and coolant eats up the bearings pretty quickly. Maybe that's what causes that for some people.
at 160K My Z gave me 3 days warning before my #4 cylinder grenaded getting 0n 880 in san jose................. it all started with a little tick and by day three it sounded like an ape breaking baseball bats on an anvil. my new crate motor has 5k on it
just broke 125k. just replaced the water pump 4 months ago, put in secret cams and a whole new timing set while i was in there. started seeing metal shavings in the oil the oil change b4 all the work. she'll probably blow soon, but im in the process of saving to get a newer one, so im not really too upset
My 96 vert has189,000 miles on it, I get a crappy 25mpg average, eats oil and is starting to run a little rough. I hope it last a little longer before I need to replace it. The auto trans is starting to feel funny too...not quite slipping but close. On the bright side my 01 Z has about 56k on it and running strong. When I put my forged, built shortblock in that bottom end and a bunch of other goodies are going in the vert.
Best guess is 220K. I have put at least 20K on it since installing it.
It had 190,532 when you picked it up from Speed Industry that day. Glad to hear it's still rockin. Now my car has 198,000, but the engine only 8,000.
I thought it was about 200K but I guess I was mistaken. Thank you for the info. Its parked for the most part now. I like driving my 98 much more than the 02. the 98 will pass the 108K mark this weekend, yeah I know its just broken in by about 8K.
