My 14 Monogram Edition has a 1-14 build date. I've put about 8,000 miles on it and the odometer is now about 37,000. I've changed oil twice at about 3500 and didn't notice any significant consumption. However I just discovered a front timing-cover leak. I have only 3-400 miles on it since I cleaned the cover, and no oil on the garage floor yet. I canceled plans to install my new oil cooler last weekend because of the leak. I'll drop the pan in about 1000 miles and see how much oil I'll find at the leak spot.


Other than that, the car has been totally reliable and lots of fun to drive. I don't plan to go FI because of the reliability factor, but do plan a header and tune. That'll pretty much be it for mods. I tend to keep cars for a long time, so if I don't run into an irresistible deal on a Cayman or something similar, I'll probably have the 86 for many years.
