old old AE86 had 251k on the chassis when I put the GZE-T 202rwhp set-up in it...held together for another 10k miles until the kid that bought it wrapped it around a tree

my 84 celica 22re has 159 and there is not a single problem with it and has never had major work done to it.
my mothers old 89 corolla had 243 before she sold it, and that beast didnt have a single problem.

I <3 Toyotas.

My Corolla (I'm the second owner) has 252,XXX miles on it... at 246k the speedo stopped working. Roughly 6k miles later, the transmission's input shaft spun...so I replaced the tranny ($175 shipped! woot!) and put the speedo cable back in. Odometer/speedo works fine now. The car has seen better days and stuff on it doesnt work, but everything important still works mechanically. The engine is definetly gummed up and full of shit, but otherwise its the original one and has no problems at all, runs excellent. Also, the original owner never remembers having the clutch changed before I put a new one in, needless to say.

Other than that, my silver 89 Supra had just rolled over 76k when I sold it, and my Supra has 101k roughly on the odometer, but the speedo/odo dont work after the 5 speed swap the previous owner did. I doubt it has more than 173k or so on it...I've only put 6000 or so miles on it myself so far.
