Had an 84 gsl with 270,000k - but then it puked.

 

116,000 miles on my '84 without leaks, never had a carb rebuild, had the clutch replaced at least once. My '83 had 130,000 miles on it before I pulled the engine, but it sat for four years straight before I bought it and developed oil leaks from the housing to iron cracks. Now its getting a street port, and possibly a turbo if I can scrounge up the money now that I've lost my job.

 

85 gsl original 12a w/ 189,000 odo still runs strong!!!

 

84gs 184044 and still running
but for the moment it is undergoing a tranny/clutch replacement and a carb rebuild

 

85 GSL-SE. 2nd owner. 129,883 miles. Zero leaks. Uses between 1/2 to 1 quart of oil every 2500-3000 miles which is when I change the oil.

 

I've have a 83 with 56,000 miles on it. it runs like a champ

 

original 13b -149k miles. Runs like a champ...

 

1983 GS with 178,000 miles, runs like the World Champ, so it must be getting ready to blow...

 

mi jealous

 

84 GSLSE with 104,800 miles and I think it is the originals. runs strong.

 

I believe the engine in my 82 was original when it went at 275K KM. Thats about 190K miles. Had about 90psi front and rear, and that was with a slow starter. It would start right up on the first try every time. I'm still not totally sure what made that apex seal shatter, but I'm guessing detonation as I did drive the car hard and it seemed to have a popping sound in the engine, but I dismissed it as the steadily stretching belt I used from the main pulley to the water pump flapping around. Guess I was wrong. BTW, I'm the 7th owner of this car I believe.

 

I got a 12a in a 1984 gsl w/ 43k on it just rebuilt the stock carb and new spark plugs.
the car sat for years before i got it. mostly things had just rotted out.
it runs great . The 7 can't lose

 

83 with about 67,XXX on it. Runs like new. I love it.

 

Original 12A, 165,000 miles.

 

i had 148000 on my eng b4 it overheated and blew a water jacket seal. and the eng i have in her no i have no clue

 

... not my car, but a good friend of mine. 7K original miles on the factory 10A and still running strong.

 

3rd 200 000kms

 

193,000 on original 13b - these engines have well-deserved reputation for longevity given their 3mm apex seals, location of the sealing 'rubbers', and for intake systems that complemented wringing them out (and keeping them carbon-cleared).

Still running strong, and got 29.73 MPG on the highway this morning! (Wondering if my '6'-ports are still working right!?!)

 

1985 Rx7 GSL 172,000. 10,000+ last april-october.

 

i beleive mine is still original 209 XXX km

 

83 gs think i'm like the 7th owner original engine, trans, and rear. ran strong when i parked it 3yrs ago. 130k

 

2nd owner all original SA 71k and going strong at 90ish PSI on all faces.

FB dunno what owner still going at 206k dunno compression numbers but sounds strong out the spark plug holes.

 

3rd owner - all orig 67000 mi

 

3rd owner

130,000 or so

rebuild coming soon----

82 gsl - 77000 original miles... was told by the privious owner he only had the car for a week. He gave me the registration as proof, He owned the car on the road for about 4 days. Anyone know what color title was out in '82? I was told the color to the title that they gave him was blue. I know now that we got tan and brown titles. Anyone with info please let me know. I know I should just do a carfax but.. I am just So lazy!
