91,500 km and still ticking strong (oh and it's tuned)!

That said... it's somewhat abnormally non-fuel efficient in non sport mode (using stock maps) ... @ 20 Liters/100km (~11mpg) City (have no idea why).

Replaced both. Running RSS solid mounts - would recommend these in a second!!!! Can't say enough positive things about that mod.

Also running Bilstein damptronics. Performance wise the system is fantastic (for street/track use) however have had two of the front struts fail on me in two years. So would rather recommend something like KW.

My 997.1 has 63K, probably good idea to list repairs.....mass air sensor(required tow), coolant hose that required engine pull(required tow, no warranty coverage of hose r/r, cost $2000), clutch slave, front axle boots/axles replaced, cats replaced, intercooler. clutch & starter. Rear tires lasted 12K miles until porsche tech straighen out purposely factory set inclined race-track setting on rear tires and rear tires now get +23K miles. Usual maintenance items, r/r gas fliter ($125), battery $150, sparkplugs ($1000), brake fluid r/r $250, Fanbelt $150, and oil changes run ~$150 with my oil.

Those look like Champion RG5's (I'm running the same)... some of the lightest wheels on the market. If I recall correctly my rear (20x12) come in at 19.1 lb

Going to break 80,000 km next week
This car is a beast. Regular maintenance only.
Holding out as long as I can before parting for the winter.
Zero mechanical issues to date.
