Awesome!! Of course, if you miss doing the donuts at 300k, you'll have to drive it another 100k! Good news!

What, no comments on losing 30 psi of oil pressure over 200 miles?

What's "oil.... Pressure?"
Also, I assume the earlier pictures were taken at 5000rpm.

Just for you, I noticed that the odo aligned itself only a few tenths of a mile over 300k.

You know what's kind of messed up? I think this car has been in the 200k club for like 10 years. Now that I'm in the 300k club, I have possibly renewed motivation in continuing to drive and maintain the car. Weird.

It is a fairly exclusive club so I can understand that.

Excellent. I will donate the rest of my can of POR 15 to the effort.
And several wirebrushes.
