Who is over 100,000 miles?

[Th3rdSun]

I have a 2013 with 64kand bought it with 21k. I've had the car since 2015 and the battery finally died yesterday.I'll probably end up trading the car in before I hit 100k.

I have a 2014 FRS I bought at 59k miles. I’m at 119k miles now and I had to change my TOB at 100k. I changed the clutch and flywheel at the same time because exedy had a deal for all 3. The only other major repair I had was around 65k shortly after I bought it I had the check engine light go on and when I had it checked it was that P0045 code or something similar. I heard it had was a common issue. It was still under warranty so I took it to Toyota and they told me a cam gear had cracked and broke and they rebuilt it for me.

Thats amazing. And man that seems like a lot of brakes and clutches haha. I'm guessing you went through countless sets of tires as well.

So the age old question, how hard is your car driven to achieve this mileage?

Probably pretty hard to go through brakes and clutches so fast.

I’m at 80K and on original brakes. Had the clutch replaced cause the TOB failed, but the clutch was still good.

Oh yea and tires!

It’s my daily driver and a lot of those are highway miles, I actively try to keep it under 5k RPM when shifting. I do let it rip close to the red line sometimes but I’ve never over revved it. I like to think this has been key to keep the car running strong without any issues.

Or maybe just got lucky.

I’m at 90k and on original brakes. Had the clutch replaced cause the TOB failed, but the clutch was still good.

The reason I replaced the clutch the first two times was because of the old defective TOB going bad, I chose to replace the clutch while I was in there both times. For the 3rd time I got the revised TOB and replaced the clutch and flywheel, that was 40k miles ago and both the TOB and clutch are still good.

Do you do track events? Original brake pads tend to last ~100k
(or even more for some people) on daily drivers.

You must coast to a stop.

I bought my car with 21k mile on it,and have put about 42k on,and have gone through front and back pads once.Probably will have to replace both next year again. Rotors seem to be fine though.

No tracking, a lot of spirited driving. I replace the brake pads every 40k miles, I do my own maintenance so it doesn’t cost much and I enjoy working on my car.

Sounds about right to me.

How's has your stock rotors held up compared to the pad life? Or did you swap them out every time. I'm about to change my stock brake pads at 30k miles, but don't really want to change the rotors.

Rotors are fine but I did replace them at 20k with slotted/drilled rotors.

I doubt you would need to change your rotors at 30k. Unless of course because racecar.

I'm getting close to 90k on my 2013. If it weren't for the pandemic and driving a lot less as a result, I would have been pretty close to 100k this year. Last year I put about 20k miles on my car between daily driving and driving to various driving events, concerts, and road trips. It's June and I've only put maybe 4000 miles on my car since the year started.
My last Blackstone analysis at 79k miles showed pretty low wear metals, so I'm somewhat optimistic my motor is doing fine. It saw some track use last year and it's seen pretty consistent autox use since I bought it at 54k miles in 2018.
I replaced the clutch at 59k miles when my TOB failed and the disk still had plenty of life left in it. I had a small oil leak on the driver side valve cover that got fixed when the car had the valve spring recall done at 66k. I did the spark plugs at that time as well.
