Before I got my '95 993, I drove an '88 Targa for 7 years.

The Targa was a reliable car, and left me on the side of the road only twice in all that time: the fuel pump went at 97K miles, and the alternator's voltage regulator went at 105K.

Now I'm commuting in my 993 every day about 50 miles per day, and mileage on the car is almost 70K. I'm starting to think about replacing the fuel pump and alternator (and any other suggested parts) "preemptively," before they start to fail. I'm already done the DME relay, distributor belt, and LWF updates, and of course all the routine maintenance.

I guess asking for MTBF data on these big items like alternator and fuel pump is a bit much, but have any of you guys replaced these or other parts before they actually start humming/whining/smoking/overcharging, just for peace of mind?
