Oh, by the way. I met someone with 450 k miles on their RX-4. They had the engine and tranny redone every 150k miles just as routine maintenance. Everything else was original.

My car has 153k kilometers on it. I drove it like an old lady, until just recently. I gotta behave...only went over 6000rpm once. And I drive it with overdrive on all the time and so did the previous owner. 1500 rpm at 80km/h

Cool, but remember my 85 had 224k on it, when it decided to stop idleing one day and dropped an apex seal... Cross fingers when you are in the 224k range

My bro's '84 GSL-SE had over 200k on a rebuilt engine before he sold it due to injector troubles (he lived a couple states away and didn't tell me about it). I still think he should have kept it.
