  • Re: Calling all high mileage cars!!!

    94z28 all stock, bought (cheap) from adult woman who did normal maintenance 2-1/2 years ago w/135000, now have over 150000. Replaced wiper blades, brake pads. Me Turn key, drive. A/C has a leak, door locks bad. Minor stuff in my opinion, but I guess it bothers "normal" people. Most folks should be riding the bus/train anyway.

        I have 105,000 on my 02 convertible. I've been through 5 sets of tires, d/s window motor, a whole lot of light bulbs, 1 windshield (thanks to my husband - duh) 1 rear rebuild, 4 sets of brake pads, 4 rotors, 2 sets of calipers (thanks for finally fixing that problem, GM) 1 belt tensioner, 4 speakers...all small stuff, thank goodness.

                    I've got around 115k on my Camario, but haven't driven it in over a year... just put a new alternator in my friend's dad's Cadillac... he's got about 560k on it... he's determined to roll it over a million... he's only replaced basic stuff too says he's never had a service job over $800 and that was all brakes...

                      putting a shift kit and a trans cooler. will (BASICALLY) make your transmission last forever.


                      i first bought it.

                      tranny was BLACK BLACK< like the fluid looked like tar.




                      i flushed it filled it and flushed it again and put the shift kit in and the trans cooler.


                      i had the car wide open doing about 150 all the way from nashville to murfeesburo tenn. about 45 min drive.


                      and the fluid is still that beautiful red =]


                      not to mention.


                      I NEVER drive in overdrive.


                      i shift it juuuust like a manual with the 123D

                      not had any problems =]

                      rear end is about to take a crapper./


                      its all lose and the pinion gear and the ring gear are completely slop.


                      bearing are a thing of the past,.

                      there arent even any left haha.



                      other than that.


                      car is doing great =]
                      ya shiftin like that sounds retarded

                        not if your transmission is full of Trans-X then its an awesome way to shift it shaves about 10 seconds of of your 1/8 mile!!!!! Z38 dont let anybody tell you that you dont know what your talking about cause they are just jealous.

                            man your computer must have gotten a Trans-X treatment already then cause i tried to drag the picture off of the screen so that i would have an energy drink, you know it is getting kinda late in the day, and it wouldn't go anywhere. Of course i am at work and i allready asked the boss if i could trans-x the computers here but she pretended like she has never heard of trans-x

                              97 camaro 5 speed: I got it at 108xxx, it has 133xxx now, not sure how many miles are on the motor. I'm not sure what all was replaced before I got her, because the car was totaled a few years ago. So I'm assuming the engine was swapped because the intake has "96" painted on it. As far as stock parts go, I've been through a clutch, rear main seal, a belt tensioner front brakes, slave cyl, and a driveline. I put on Pacesetter headers, an SLP cold air intake, SPEC stage 2 clutch (which died), and a Cherry Bomb Extreme muffler.
