Just hit 44k. It was only at 27k on January 1st '07. However, I've done the Dragon, Rt. 26, and lots of track days/autocrosses. No real problems other than the Toda cams being finicky to adjust. Regular maintenance of course, and lots of brake pads/tires.

Currently at 120xxx miles. Top latch rattled everytime i hit a bump on the road. Fixed it with a write up here on the boards. Basically I just stuck some spongy stuff inside the grooves of the latch and the noise went away.
I also have the annoying clutch buzz but the clutch is about to wear out so it'll be replaced. Still on the original clutch at 120k.
I think my transmission has a bearing grind noise too. At least that's what my mechanic told me. I have to get it checked elsewhere. This doesn't affect the performance of the car but the noise is quite annoying with the windows rolled up.
Recently, my fuel guage isn't correctly measuring the amount of gas. It is always one bar away from full even if i pump it full tank.
Replaced my original vinyl top with a canvas top and glass window.
I'm planning on driving the car another 120k miles.

'01, 88,400km (~55k miles)
soft-top strikers are worn and rattle somewhat, otherwise no problems at all. Car is on all factory components.
Soft-top (original) is in surprisingly good shape, rear window is mostly clear and all.

Im having the same problem, my top is driving me crazy it rattles a lot. I have greased it and notting.
where did you get the strikers?.
Im getting the whine noise from the transmission too, that's from what i understand the through out bearing (if it goes away when you press the clutch) (my case) if not have you changed the tranny fluid? (that helped a lot for me)

The strikers were replaced as part of the TSB that went out for 03 cars. Apparently it happens to a lot of 04s too.
