High mileage

[syncroid]

Just curious who has the highest mileage "still driving" Boxster here?

I have a 1997 that just turned 186,000 miles. I rescued it in the nick of time.
It came into our shop for a second opinion after being at another shop. The first shop said "It needs an engine."
We found that it had 25 degrees of cam deviation on one bank and 4 on the other. I could not believe it was running at all! After giving the customer all of the options of what we "could" do. They decided to not put another dime into the car. We ended up buying the car for a shop car or whatever.
Long story short. We went nuts on it!

-Pulled the valve train out. (Tensioner paddles were the major problem) Replaced.
-Full major service to car.
-LN Engineering IMS bearing upgrade.
-New clutch including flywheel.
-Pulled oil pan to check for debris. Good! Resealed.
-All new M030 suspension (struts), All four lower control arms, four diagonal link arms.
-New tires all around.
-Four wheel alignment.
-New Cab top rear window.
-New gear shift boot.
-Added second cigarette lighter socket for a duel usb port with digital volt meter plug in.
-New ignition lock assembly.

I'm sure I am forgetting some of the things. I love this car! It has smitten me.
Original paint. Original interior.

You have a ways to go, we had a customer heading for 300K a couple of years back.

My 03 is at about the same mileage (low 180’s). How/where did you do the second cig lighter?

Thanks! Unfortunately (for me) I have the control button for my Bluetooth adapter mounted to the round plug to the left of the radio. Looks very clean...

I found a 2005 Boxster 6 one owner with 205,000 miles.

And here I was getting concerned about my 2001 Boxster S with 61,000+ miles.

I think I would be concerned that I was not driving it enough!

I’ll enter your contest. “Ruby” 98 with 237251mi. Arena Red/Gray, new clutch, flywheel, LN solution. BTW the original dual row bearing although not terribly smooth showed no indication of pending doom. PO and I drive it like a Porsche.
