I think I may have you beat! I have 94k on my orig. motor!!! It is my Daily driver too...

My next mod will be the Aero front bumper, then GT3 wind deflectors for the brakes & then up graded pads, with a second set of tires for the auto X.


Paul

PS
Any one wana get rid of their Aero front bumper???

Since it is your daily driver what tires do you recomend, do you go to dealer for maintance and how often do you do your maintance. I have a 40th anniv. 911 that i am trying to sell, if i cant sell it will become my daily driver. So I would like some advice on daily driver and how expensive will i be.

I have found that the more I drive my car the better it runs! I have had it almost two years now and put on over 22k miles. As for tires next tiem I'm gonna try the PS's. I have had Pzero's, & the Rosso's and they are adequate but a little noisy.

I service it at the normal 15k mile interval...I have Pzeros on there now, but I think I am going to the Continental with my 19's....I dont do anything special, and the upkeep is fairly inexpensive. Up to now the dealer has done all the servicing but now that its out of warranty, I'll find a good independant.

Congrats on the 100K. Just picked up my first p-car last week. It's an 02 C4S with 23K miles, so I've got a ways to go. I LOVE IT!
