I don't know about the coil packs. I haven't loss one yet but now that I am tracking I am tossing it in with the wear items. Heat kills them from what I have seen.


I don't really have a ton of oil issues. My timing cover has been leaking for a while, but not bad enough to get it fixed. And the blowby is enough to measure in the catch can but not enough to see a loss between changes (I usually change my oil between 5k and 10k depending on what kind of driving I've been doing)


I do know a few other local owners who experience faint rod knock on cold start and they are around 60-70k miles on the car. Not sure how fast it is progressing for them though. Both of them track occasionally as well, like 3-4 times a year.
Can you tell me more about the knock tune? I have a 2012 manual gt86 at 37k miles (I live in Hong Kong so it's considered "high milage" here). Never experienced a knock (or maybe I don't know).
