Glad to see the "How many miles do you have on your Solstice" is a hit

Since we're keeping it a clean thread, I thought we could make some comments here.

I really like seeing some of the high mileage post like wannasolstice2 - 3700 miles and no issues - way to go

What cracked me up was LatinVenom with 110 miles -and he's in Florida

Let's all give him a hard time for having the lowest mileage

Good it shows how many Sols are running fine (no major probs)

I'd be glad to come down and drive yours LV, its like 5 degrees up here

LatinVenom · 12-15-2005, 02:11 PM

I am going to be doing some performance mods and want to keep the original parts with as little use as possible.
The Solstice is NOT my daily drive car.
For now it is a Garage King/Queen

When I first got active on the Isuzu board, there were a lot of complaints about problems with the engines failing, turned out it was the engines are known for burning lots of oil, and it was people that didn't watch their oil level that were loosing their engines. Once I saw the "how many miles" thread - and saw how many Rodeos went 160K miles plus with no significant issues - that's when I new I had a keeper.

OK, Rodeo since you want to keep the other thread clean, I will post my answer here, then try to figure out how to deleted from the other thread.

The Mods will be as follow:
Complete exhaust systems this will include headers and dual outlets.
Sports suspension package from GM performance, it is a more complete suspension mod than the KappaSphere or Gravana.
SC if and when ATI or some other reputable aftermarket offers one.

Thanks, looks like a mod helped you out already!

Looks like yours is going to be the one to watch as it goes through its modifications

It also might help link any problems that might arise to a VIN sequence should that ever be an isssue.

inov814u · 12-15-2005, 02:41 PM

About 5200 and all's well I think it actually runs better.

I was able to take it for a trip from San Francisco to Los Angeles a week ago. I couldn't believe how comfortable it was to drive and how well it handled over the Grapevine (very fast moving 6 - 8 lane mountain pass).

The only problem that I have is that the parking brake makes a very loud rattling noise between 4000 & 6000 on the tack. And I have a squeak somewhere on the dash when I go over rough roads. They were both very minimal until I came back form the trip.
