50,000 mile check in.





So this happened a couple days ago. I've done some other mileage check-ins, and I think at my 25k check in someone in an FRS was at...29 or 30K, so I don't think I'm the highest mileage car in the country currently, but I think I'm the highest on the boards.

The last 25K miles have seen some auto-xing, and a lot of driving around the midwest for work. The car is still a great "Mini-GT" as I like to call it. Earplugs are my only addition for long rides. I've had no issues, and I am following the 5k oil change, 2.5k oil filter change suggestion I read about on the boards. I'm coming up on a trans/dif change and I used Motul for my last two changes and really liked it. I've used Mobil for my last two engine oil changes, and always use the OEM filter.

This is my second winter and there are some chips that I put a coat of wax on, but didn't get around to filling in. I'll have those painted by my body shop in the spring with whatever other chips happen over this winter. I'm going to add some rally armor mudflaps next week, and I run the OEM rims with winter tires while in winter mode.

I'm still averaging about 29-30 mpg depending on the month which is a mixed city/hwy of 20/80. I run Mobil 93 almost exclusively but have had to use 91, and other 93 brands when traveling, but not too often. I'm 10K away from the suggested spark plug change...should be fun.

If you guys and girls have any questions please let me know!
