260k+ on my SE. New engine from Mazda at 225k

 

i love your car Jimmy54. no gay *** body kits or any of that ****. nice front end, rims, looks lowered? keeping it simple, i like to see that.

I thought i was the only one who likes simplicity on a 1st gen. JIMMY54, you car looks real nice!

248687 kms

My 1st SE got annihilated by an F-250 at around 230K miles. The engine went into 2 other SEs til around 282K and still ran well until I exchanged it for another one. Current SE has 156K on the body.
Jimmy and pratchs cars look like nice IT cars.

 

I also have 215K on my stock 85 GSL .

what exactly is a sleeper?(newbie question)

 

155k kms

 

187,xxx on my '83.....2nd engine

 

A sleeper is a stock looking, or clost to stock looking vehicle that has tons more power than stock. For example, Chris from Cp racing had a 1st gen that looked essentially stock...but had a 2nd gen engine in it that had 300hp...thats a sleeper

 

You know, a street sleeper. IE, something that doesn't look too worked, not shown off, not over done, but god does it go!!!

IE: just a nice, clean, straight lookin Rx7 with a worked engine.

 

Or even some broke *** looking car that has gobs of power and will dominate your *** .

I have 280,000+ miles on my 85. 2nd or 3rd engine. It looks like i have you guys beat at this point. The funny thing is i have only put like 15-20 miles on the car. LAter

P.S. Pratch-I think we have the same front spoiler. You car is very clean. I have the pacific body kit. Is that what you have?

 

Mariah motorsports front airdam (the SCCA/ITA legal one).

I plan on making it into a sleeper when I do my TII swap next year. First thing I have to land is another 1st gen to become my daily driver, then I have to score a deal on a TII of course I'll be joyfully tearing up kiddies left and right. Of course, barring that, a nice 13B with a bridgeport and a supercharger might give me similar performance

 

Oh yeah, and thanks for the compliments - the paintjob has definitely renewed my baby's looks. I was young and stupid when I bought her and didn't care for the paint as well as I should/could have. I do not plan on making that mistake again!

 

174,000+ miles

original 12A baked last May at about 162,000+ miles
put this 13B in last October ...

 

190 xxx miles on the body

 

78k original miles, original body, original engine, original owner. Treated with great TLC

 

Only 70.000 km (about 45K miles, I think) on the body, and already fully restored, a few years ago. Engine killed by previous owner about 3 or 4K ago, pretty early I think... Bought engineless, but rustfree(=restored+Mariah-kit). My engine was bought brand new (not rebuild) 2 years ago, was in my other 1st gen about 5000 km, and now in this one for another 5k. Plan 13B swap this winter. 12A moves on to a fully restored SA (1980), that I sold to my father earlier this year.
