I've replaced 2 radiators, 2 cooling fans, 1 set of battery cables, 1 power steering pressure switch, 1 temperature switch, 1 starter, 1 set of rear lower control arm bushings & 3 sets of the lower & upper motor mounts. I'm still running the original clutch, pressure plate & throw-out bearing BUT I live in the valley and there is no such things as hills here & once the car is on the move I don't use the clutch unless I have to down shift for more power. The car has left me stranded twice - once when the plastic radiator drain plug failed and once when the timing belt failed on the way to work at 297,000 miles. I was planning on changing at the 300,000 mile mark. I pulled the valve cover to make sure none of the valves were bent and I was surprised how clean the inside of my 300,000 motor was.

So my convertible at 120,000 isn't even half way home? That's good to know. And at that 120,000, I just did the timing belt, water pump, front engine mount and lower control arms last week so I should be good for quite awhile.
