Very impressive, we're at 114K and still rolling. We follow an even more "severe conditions" maintenance schedule and feel like it's contributed to the health of the car so far. Oil changes between 3-4K miles with Mobil 1 and PCX filter. Transmission and diff fluid changed every 2nd to 3rd oil change (6-9K miles). Brake and clutch fluid changed about 3 times a year. Brake pads lasted till about 80K, still on original rotors. Radiator end tank cracked and replaced around 95K, coolant changed at same time. Valve adjustment @ 105, was not off by much. Rear upper A arm bushing went out as well as a/c pulley both replaced around 90K.
Keep up the good work. -Hockey

*Update*
183k on the odometer now. Had to replace the MAP sensor last week. I started experiencing some hesitation under light acceleration in the lower RPM band. Did some quick searching here and seemed that the consensus was the MAP sensor. I needed to ungrade to the updated version anyway (with the cable-tie bracket) so this was a good excuse to take care of the upgrade.
Seems to have done the trick. I reset the ECU and swapped the MAP sensor. No more hesitation. Thanks everyone. Hope you're getting as much outta your S2K as I am outta mine!

don't know if you mentioned this, but when did you replace you spark plugs/ wires?
"Wires" are still original.

Go look at your engine. Tell me if you see any high-voltage "spark plug wires" anywhere?
Better check the distributor cap, points, and rotor as well.
