Thanks again guys, to answer a few questions:
I'm still on the original motor/trans. Nothing internal has been touched. I have been slowly collecting parts for the retainers though. I had my VAFC tuned a few months back and still put down 199 at the wheels which was about average for the other S2ks there.
I had the buzzing clutch tsb where they replace the disk done at about 30k miles. Just replaced the clutch last month and was surprised at how much meat was still left, but the throwout bearing was gone.
I'm pretty confident that I would still be on my OEM diff, but I got a good deal on 4.77s a few years back so I swapped them out.
Last year I had some misfire issues so I got a valve adjustment, new plugs and injectors. It was the injectors that were bad.
My biggest problem has been with aftermarket exhausts. I'm on my 5th. I've broken 2 Veilside Titanium ones and 2 Buddy Club Racing Spec. Hopefully 5th times the charm?
I'm also very surprised at how long the HID last. Most of my driving is done at night and I still haven't had to replace a bulb!
That is also my original antenna.
The only way that I will ever get rid of this car is if it gets totaled/stolen.
