The only major things that needed replacing in the 10 years is.
Valve body of the CVT was replaced at 200,000 kms (CVT itself is still original )
Radiator was only replaced for the first time late last year.
Rocker cover gasket was replaced a few years ago.
The usual suspension wear and tear, struts etc needed replacing over time.
Still the original fuel pump, alternator and starter motor.
All 3 engine mounts have been replaced .
Even the indicator globes are still original and have never needed replacing.
The only thiing giving me a bit of ongoing grief is the sway bar end links keeping failing since replacing the OEM ones 5 or so years ago. I have a whiteline sway bar thats nearly 10 years old now (24mm) and for some reason the links dont seem to last long,though the last set that was fitted seem to be holding up ok.
The exhaust is axelback just for noise , but to be honest, im thinking of going back to a standard setup , i feel it's simply not worth doing the hi flow cat and all that just for minimal horsepower.
Doing a lot of highway driving and doing regular servicing is the reason this car has been so reliable.
I am curious though are the CF's made in japan? I few people i know have had issues with them and the car is failry new.
Hope everyone is doing well .
