I have put 150,000 miles on a 95 2 door and 94 4 door. The 95 died at 200,000 because I was power shifting for the last 60,000 due to clutch cable issues. I replaced it with the 94 and really appreciate the extra space. The only maintenance costs I have encountered between the two were: Primary ignition coil, plugs/wires, premature tire wear-misalignment, speedo cable skipping and light bulbs. Not bad for the cheapest thing available.
I started modding over a week ago. Once I get through a tank I will fill in my log. Can you fill us in with a comprehensive list of mods and their effects on your Aspire?
