I'm pushin' 202k on my '88 GXL. From the general disarray of the engine compartment... I'd say it's probably not the original motor though.

I hope it doesn't run like a clock in an FC. It'll be cutting in and out in that case.

250,845 miles! Original motor and trans. New clutch and that is it on the car and that is it. Pulls hard all the way to 7k, loves to cruise at 90, and is still very happy sideways! It belongs to one of my best friends. He is in Europe this semester and left his car with me so it wouldn't just sit. I am a few trips to class away from 151k.

Mine has 216k on the chassis. The motor popped at 195k, and the new motor had 120k when it went in, so I'm running very strong at around 140k on my motor. Still so strong that I blew the clutch clean up last month.

3rd owner, it was completey stock before I got my hands on it. S5 NA 230+ on the odo. Still runs good. The only problem I have is a leak from the original oil cooler lines, and a leak from the original oil pan gasket. Oh, and a 1" crack on the plastic part of the original radiator. Other than that, no big problems with the engine.

You're going to think I'm an *** for doing this, but I redline it a lot. I can't help it, I love it when it blows flames!!

my non turbo 90 rex has 516k on the stock engine. I put 200k of those miles on it, and never changed the oil/filter. Just added oil as needed.
