IM at 185,228 miles now. 3rd motor, 2nd set of turbos and 2nd tranny. The turbos lasted till 161, the apex seal killed my primary. Tranny lasted until 175K.
I now have about 161k on my motor and about 90k on my turbos. At 155k I drove from the Bay to Chicago and back. At 150k OMP went out and FPD (small fire) and I put on a fpd, dp,silicon hoses, ACV and removed all AC and PS. At 135k did a 5spd swap(broke a LVL 10 and a stock AT). At 130k drove from Bay to Chicago and back and added bigger radiatorbypassed ast. Before that..only put a cb on. Having an AT in the car is what most likely extended the life of the motor and pretty much keeping the fun stuff on the freeways and not in-town(like Mustangs).

Necro bump, whos got the highest mileage these days?
A few years ago I picked up a 1993 non running, previously automatic, FD and finally had the gauge cluster rebuilt, 252,906 miles!
When I ran the carfax, I couldn't believe my eyes, showed 212,741 miles on December 23, 2004! Wish I could ask the previous owner how they racked up soo many miles while keeping the car VERY clean. Came from California and most of the stock nuts/bolts/hardware still has nice gold zinc plating on it.
My buddy has a 93 Touring with 212k on it. Owned by an old lady, had a full engine/trans/turbo replacement at 120k. She daily drove it.
No idea what it's up to now.
I LOVE it.
