Are you still on your original starter, water pump, alternator etc? Any breakdowns?

whoa I'm sooo late on this response. sorry bud I didn't see it. yes oem starter and parts. i replaced a ECU because it went bad. that's about it. I had gone to a aftermarket clutch but went back to the OEM. shortly after I had it installed it seized up. it was incorrectly installed. i never spoke to those guys again. I was pissed. put oem back in and detune back down to about 640 and zero issues. just make maintenance and drive it.

Kinda curious, how is resale once you get higher mileage like that? im at 70k but personally think kelly blue book is horrible at pricing these cars out

although I've never thought about selling my car resale is shit. I bought mine new dec of 2012. I would never part w it so some 20 year old kid can have my 100k car. I paid mine off in 2.5 years so I never worried about warranties because after 100k miles your extended warrente is gone anyway. I like it when things are paid off as I'm not the buy the latest and greatest type of guy. but I would get rid of it for a brabus merc 6.3

boots did you have a custom tune? Ive seen so may horror stories about OTS tunes

[boots]

Yes. I use Halim w Hcp. he knows what hes doing and I've zero issues. I had 640 then up to over 700 w after market clutch but the guy who installed the clutch did a shit job installing it. during break in i went to overtake a car on the freeway the clutch spun up and I knew that was it for the clutch so I got lucky to made it back home that night. Anyway, I tune back down to around 640 w oem clutch. My car runs great w zero issues..
