The 200k Club! (Pics)
Where were you when your RX-7 hit 200,000 miles? I was on the Cross-town freeway merging onto I5 in south Stockton :) Yup, my daily did it! 200k on the original motor! This car has been so problem free it sick. Nothing but regular maintenance & my auto tranny packed up somewhere around 180k .. so its now a 5 speed. I didn't have my camera in the car when I turned 200.. so I just took a pic when I got home.
Post your high mileage Pics & stories, I think Mazda should give me a badge or something .. maybe put me in a commercial :) Haha http://robtpek.gotnet.net/images/DSC00345.JPG Here is the engine that did it; http://robtpek.gotnet.net/images/DSC00347.JPG |
A rotary made it 200k? Unbelievable!
Quite an accomplishment, For you and your car :) |
Not really suds.. NA rotarys make it there quite often...
Most that you find used now a days have 140-180K on them.. I have actually talked to people that got to 300K before. wish i remembered who.. -Zach |
249,946 miles. Sitting in Post Ofiice parking lot and Apex seal let go. Car consistantly pulled 7K until then
|
What is that tube across the top of the throttle body?
Bill |
That their my friend is the key to my cars longevity. Its a custom made upper Rotor housing & intake breather tube & condensation remover.
|
The tube is for the A/C.
|
Haha obviously I am just kidding about the hose. I took those pictures & posted them up here on the forum .. I took a look at my post and I asked myself the same thing “What the hell is that hose”? So I promptly walked out side to get a better look … and I realized Doah! That’s the tube I was using to bleed my clutch slave cylinder last week. Don’t try this at home folks .. only trained professionals should drive around 200 miles with a unattached 2 Ft. long hose sitting on the top of there engine. Ohh well, live and learn Right?
Sorry Aaron, that was a damn good guess considering there is not much else it could be besides; not sopopsed to be there period :) |
heh, I bought mine with 85k original miles on it. but today I officially have driven it 100 miles.
|
Today my odometer read: 220,000. Its the 2nd motor though so Im not surpirsed.

Originally posted by MaTT_FoULk Actually the key to your engine's longevity is the lack of an intercooler where that hose is sitting. :) Congrats on 200k+ miles! Congrats! |

|

Nice fucking work guys! This is nothing more than a sign of classic immaculate car maintenance at its best.
Buy yourselves some good beer, and go for a drive (myabe not in that order...) |
How Many turbo guys have hit 249 K on the original engine??
Bueller? Bueller? Anyone? Heh? I can't hear you!! |
Ya, I’m proud of my 200k’er not only do I take her to work daily.. but she never bitches. Never floods, starts first time everytime, doesn’t leak a drop of oil, holds a very steady 800ish idle. Doesn’t burn excessive oil, passed Califonia dyno smog check II just over a month ago.. And its all on the original motor. She still has very decent power for a N/A also. And I get right around 20 MPG on the highway! She will see 300k I will make sure of it. And I hope to do it on this motor.
|
Theres a tII up here with 172k miles on the original engine. Still ran too!!

You won't believe this but mine clicked over ON MY DRIVEWAY!! I left school and drove home knowing that it was at like 199 989 or somthing like that. I pulled into my driveway, and it was sitting right on the dot!
200 000!!! What are the chances of that eh!! |
my 87 i use to have had 280,000 orig motor and everything never spent one day in the shop. i sold her about 6 months ago my 91 i have right now had 112k on it when i bought it last aug as of right now she has 132k but i think she is gunna need a transplant
|
I had a little over 230k on my first 86 when I blew an apex seal on #1 rotor. Of course, redlining in 1st gear at an autocross (because of shot 2nd gear synchros) will do that... :doh:

My car got 216,000 on the original motor before the seals started going bad.
