1yr old Yaris 5spd sedan S w/150,000+miles
I bought my Yaris 5spd sedan S on 8/2/06 for my job and 1yr later I have 150,000+ miles on it. The only thing that I have done to it maintenance wise, is 30 oil changes and spark plugs after 100,000 miles. I still haven't changed my accessory belt. Does anyone suggest that I change it? I get about 40mpg - 50mpg @ 50mph - 70mph. I only started modifying the engine after 140,000 miles. Mods include: Weapon R Secret Intake with a steel mesh filter instead of the Weapon R foam filter, Megan Headers, Dynomax Super Turbo Exhaust (kept the stock look), NST Crank Pulley, TRD Sway Bar, Tanabe Springs and Strut Brace, F1 Lights 16" Racing Wheels, 8000k HID's in the headlights and fog lights, Bellon Voltage Stabalizer, 2.5" Spinning Tornado, and Greddy Speed Cut Defencer. I must say, I think my yaris runs way better than the average yaris out there. For example on the highway I can keep up with an 07' Civic Si from 70mph to 110mph and after that, the Civic Si pulls away. That's 106hp vs 192hp. Not bad! I have yet to take my car to the 1/4 mile or 1/8 mile track. But most people that have driven in my car or seen my car run on the road, thinks it about a mid 15's car on the 1/4 mile. I'm open to suggestions and/or opinions.

150,000 in one year? That's about 2,885 miles a week. Where are you going that you've been able to rack up such mileage in such a short amount of time?

There is an HP technician that comes and takes care of our HP gear and he lives 80 miles from us. The place that he will pick up parts is Bangor, which is 120 miles in the opposite direction. Because of that when he deals with us...which is once every week to two weeks he is traveling 120 to the parts, then 200 to us, and then 80 back home in one day...and that is if he doesn't have a service call somewhere else that day. That means 400 of course in just one day and he does that at least 4 days a week...when he deals with other customers in my area like us. Maybe this guy is a tech or parts runner....I love my Ryu Hisou however that is way too many miles on my baby too fast.

150,000 miles / (52 weeks X 5 days)=576.923 miles / 10hr day= 57.7 mph. This does not include lunch, gas or potty breaks. Not to mention city and rush hour traffic.

I guess it would if you spend the majority of your time on the "super slab" not doing much shifting to begin with. In our tractor-trailers we often perform clutchless up shifts just by using engine revs to match engine/transmission speeds which vastly prolongs clutch life.
