296,000 on my '05 R53 this morning. I was hoping to make 300,000 on my original clutch by next month but the throwout bearing gave out last night on the way to Nashville. Tranny will come out today :(
That's still an outrageous mileage for the original clutch, I would be happy with it. My first cars clutch started slipping at 94K and the throwout bearing literally exploded at 95K

Glad to see I'm not the only one, 211,000 last w/e, still original clutch also. :fingerscrossed:

Wow! 211k with that many power mods and still running the original clutch! It blows my mind that there is such a large variance between clutch wear properties. Different driving styles should not account for a 50k-100k life gap.
Bad news, going to strip down motor to find out why I lost all compression on my #1 cylinder while on freeway,(that was not fun) and do a engine rebuild which makes me feel better
Secret I guess is a long commute, and the usual keep up on maintenance etc. Everyone hates this but I follow the OBC oil change interval, for me its between 20,000 and 23,000 and all my oil test come back great.
Mods - a few: 15% sc pulley, +2% crank pulley, Alta CAI, M7 DFIC, Alta cat-back, plugs, wires, coil, two OCC's, M7 coil overs, M7 strut brace, Webb rear sway bar, forge coolant tank....... I'm sure I am missing a few too
Obligatory shot of the odometer, taken by my wife. This is on her 2003 Silk Green/Silk Green R50. She did buy it used with about 67k on it but she doesn't drive all that much. I'm changing oil once a year and there's still about 6k left on the service interval.
Haha, that's why I follow the OBC, otherwise I would be changing oil every 3-5 weeks

Yup been there twice already this month,obc front breaks and oil change 1000 miles apart. Lol begged em to do inspection early to save myself third trip.
Honestly plan on keeping peanut for awhile I'm glad you posted makes me feel like there is hope past initial factory warranty.
