changed a few 14 year old parts
my alternator (god knows how the hell it lasted this long and still worked except the bearing)
ICM (same as alternator)
EGR valve (causing my idle dying) sticks open when you press the diaphram to open and hold the vaccum port closed)
anyone else have any old parts that made it to the 2000's?

Mines a 95 and hasnt had any of that changed! Just took the EGR and AIR system off when i installed my LTs, but still have everything else!! (only 38k miles though, could be a little factor) By the way my car is the same color as your, just doesnt have the hood or rims! The car looks good and mean with that hood!!

i still have my original alternator (108,000miles) the little bitch likes to run over 16 volts when it gets cold and pops 25 dollar headlights and fog lights!!
also still on the original water pump, from what i've seen i would guess its days are getting to be numbered, and dare i say original window motors both of which are working flawlessly (knocking on wood desk profusely now!!)

My Opti is still running like a champ, got it cleaned once, never changed anything in it thinking about it, the only thing that lasted all this time is the damn opti, been through a motor, and a tranny.

my air conditioner just finally took a dump in my 94. bearing started squealing. i thought it was the alternator since it was original too. so i changed the alternator, and it still squealed so i changed the a/c compressor to the delete bracket (for now). so my a/c and alternator lasted from 94-08.

Mines like 11 year old, but the previous owner had to replace the Waterpump and a tranny mount or two. I've had to replace the tranny mount twice. I'd like to know if anyone is still on their factory Tranny Mount, lol!

My car still has the original alternator, A/C stuff, EGR, and mostly everything is stock so it is all original. The O2's are original and they haven't missed a beat yet. With all of this I still get 25+ MPG on the highway. BTW, my car just hit 112K miles, but it runs like my dad's 20K mile 94 Vette.

Two quick things that haven't been replaced on my car. The wipers, which work like new, used them maybe a dozen times since 94, and I still have the oringinal front tires mounted on my salad shooters. 30k and garage kept.
