Default My girl just turned 150k

Just wanted to share a pic I took on the way home. I guess its time to change the timing belt and water pump right? She's a 95 DWP by the way

The gauge cluster is in need of a LEXTECH custom lighting system soon...

my rsp had 200k+ and still rode like a champ. new lower controll arms was all it needed. the timing belt service should have been done around 100k. if it has not yeah def do it, but if it has, just a 30k service will be fine.

Awesome. Mine has 260k+ I bought mine in 2002 at about 150k if I recall. Going on 9 years later all I have done mechanically is the alt, PS pump, AC comp, and mounts. No major mechanical. It even got parked for 3 years solid, no driving, which is harder on cars and it still fired up and took off the day I decided to drive it again a couple yrs back. They are old war horses...... It's been driven daily for the last few yrs since it sat, no issues.

Your definitely right, I almost feel like the t-belt is going to go at any time i just need to get around to changing it because it needs it, and for my peace of mind.

Another 10!, That would be nice but I'm really hoping to rebuild so she can withstand a turbo or supercharger stuffed down her throat.

Yeah man I'm slowly going through her and trying to get her mechanically sound so i have no worries in the back of my mind. 260k thats awesome cant wait for the day I can say something like that Ive only had mine for a little less than a year, but hope to hang on to her for a long while.

Dang, I'm at 102,880 on my SC. I doubt it will ever hit 150,000 miles in the next ten years. I don't drive any of my cars THAT much.

I wish I had that type of privilege but other than my Durango that my wife drives she's all I have right now ever since I wrecked my Conquest (aka Starion).Heres a couple of pics of my other girl the late Pimp-a-licious Conquest


the center console looks that way due to installing my system there's a matching Nardi shifter ****.


Here's the damage


Heres a couple of why she was called Pimp-a-licious, and yes their daytons dont bash her too bad its not nice to speak ill of the dead!
