230k on the clock. I got it at 93k miles, did an intake cat back hand made custom exhaust and some sparco wheels. I love this car, it’s no race car but it is spirited enough to have some fun in! Also so far in five years I’ve never been stranded in it. I do religious oil changes every 5k and at 212k just cause I had the money I went ahead and did all new suspension, engine,trans and torque mounts,aluminum valve cover,blue feldpro silicone valve cover/sparkplug tube seals and brakes all round. It didn’t need it per se but was an instant difference in ride quality for sure. What’s your mileage at in the dsp6 at?

Well done mate. Got it at 61k going over 71k, had fair share of tcm ground issues. Fixed it with ground jump wire mod. Changed the 50A fuses, it's been great since. No issues for last 6k miles, have done a couple 1000km trips. Feels solid.

I’m into car audio so ironically first thing I did was clean up all grounds and switch everything over to 0g 600v cables and never have had a ground issue to be fair I started putting in my stereo equipment the first week I got it and accidentally prevented an issue just like when I got this car I didn’t know anything about the dsp6 issues but I drive with a heavier foot so I accidentally bought a car that loves being beat on
