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
Here is the engine that did it;

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

Actually the key to your engine's longevity is the lack of an intercooler where that hose is sitting. Congrats on 200k+ miles!

Nice ******* 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...)

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.
