100,000 mile club

[trini_per4mance]

Thank you! I currently have roughly a measly 543,000 miles on my Yaris. This may sound crazy to the average person out there, but I'm going to turbocharge it in the near future. My Valve Seals have now started to leak when I run thru the RPM's. So, I'm burning oil and have to top it up about every 1000 miles.

You never answered my question as to why you changed your shifter cables... Lol. I'm really interested to know why and if it fixed your problem. Bcuz currently I have a rattling noise from my linkage on my gearbox. But when I pull or push the shifter towards any gear while in neutral (which I'm basically put tension on the shifter cables by doing that), the noise goes away. So, I was thinking that maybe I should change out my cables too. Let me know what your issue was with your cables.

Thanks!

Thanks for the reply to my post ! Sorry, I'm not the member who changed his shifter cables . You are quite an inspiration, so members like to hear about your current odometer mileage (...and putting on many fewer miles than you used to doesn't change that curiosity) and what you are currently doing with your Yaris . This has come up on threads since you last posted . Some of us know we can check your maintenance/repairs and mods on your '500,000 miles on my Yaris' thread. Post #1 on that thread shows the mileage interval that you did repairs/major maintenance, and mods, but doesn't hint to a current odometer level (last update to that page - January 2014). I don't think it's crazy that you're going to turbocharge your Yaris at 543,000 + miles . Given your maintenance intervals, etc., I'd imagine there isn't a 500,000 mile plus Toyota anywhere in the States that is in better condition than yours. Definitely update post #1 on your '500,000 miles on my Yaris' thread after you install the turbo setup (and create a thread foe thgat as well if you are so inclined ). I hope the member who changed his shifter cables answers your question.
