I was just wondering what the mileage is on your 2nd gens. I have my Rx7 at 220XXX miles. I want to get an idea of how much life she has left. Thanx guys.

BTW its a 1987 Base...

 

208k on my 89 gxl still running strong

 

mine's 132xxx, and the last owner just let it sit under rain and sun for 8 months and i revived it :P. completely stock and still pulls strong.

 

wow And everyone says Rx7 don't last. The only thing wrong with mine is that it need some suspension work. Mainly bushings and Struts/springs but mainly the 5th and 6th port won't open.

 

at 220K i would say the engine is quite worn out i would start looking into a rebuild or something..

i had an NA engine go to 200K but it blew up after i had it turboed for 5 months.... hahaha

 

^^ haha, so medium-compression motor with turbos? Ouch, 5 months though, not bad...actually.

 

Had One 215000 Daily Driver Was Good But Not For Racing After 5k Rpm Smokes Oil O-rings Bad

 

yes i did it sort of just to say i did it, and figured it would last a couple weeks, the sucker just kept going haha

i am running another (lower) high milage engine in the same na-turboed setup haha this one only has 155K!!!
its been running for 2 months so far
prolly wont last very long either but should hold me over till i build a good motor.

turboing an s4 na motor can be very successful, if you start with a good motor. like a low milage one or a good rebuilt one.

 

259K on mine and counting, though I pulled the engine apart at 258K because I wanted to bridgeport it...

The fact that rotary engines don't last is a myth. They don't last if they are not maintained, like any other engine. Or if you do something stupid while modding (like any other engine).

 

My t2 blew at 180,xxx mi. Which I guess isn't bad.
I also had an N/A that blew at 125,xxx mi. It kind of depends on how hard you or the previous owner, drive it.

 

Yeah the owner before me took amazing care of the car also. I guess thats why it still going strong.

Do you guys know of anyone that carryies the oil cooler lines for FC "under $100"

 

Ok, here's a question for ya.
You all have high milage engines but how often do you take your car to the REDLINE???

 

I take mine to redline every once and a while, pulls strong.

 

Multiple Times every day. I drive hard.

Is that a bad thing?

Anyways Yeah it never smokes either I just need to get that oil cooler line and bushings.

 

180k on my 87 n/a, original motor. 95k on my 87 TII when I sold it, original motor. 165k on my 90 TII, second motor.

They last though they are tempermental. Like any other car, it's all in how you take care of them.

 

isnt rotary motor good 4 redlining it cleans them out thats what i heard

 

Exactly, ignorance is very strong in the automotive world when it comes to rotaries, the majority just have no idea.
I feel like a youngin here, with less than 80K on the ticker.

 

You mean today, or in general?

 

Just about to hit 120K on mine. Run it to the redline often. Pulls strong all the way to the top. Just have wierd electrical issues with mine...

 

I usually take my car to the redline about four or five times each time I drive it. Its pretty boring to put around under 3k most of the time. The party starts at 4k but once you get there you might at well keep going until the buzzer.

 

90 n/a already had a new motor put in it O_O by previous owner it has 160k on it right now. trust me if you take care of it it will take care of you.

 

i drive pretty hard , i redline it every day ussually several times....

 

201,009. I drive it as hard as I did when new. But I seem to have a clutch problem so I will probably remove and rebuild the engine in the spring when I am looking at the clutch.

 

I take especially good care of my FC but i find myself at the redline A LOT!!
Just hoping my engine will see those numbers!

Yeah, anything under 5k is a nice place to visit but I wouldn't want to stay there!

 

Well I guess it still remains I have the old motor.... i guess thats something to thin about.
