how many 200,000+ miles we got
My engine has ~230K, does that count? I pulled it out of another forum member's old wrecked NA with 200K on it and I've been beating the **** out of it for a few years nad 30K now.
wow thats a clean engine bay, how did you get that, tear everything out and clean it out peice by piece?
edit: mine's just a nasty mess of cables and a engine in the middle, i so gotta clean that out when i have the time and money...

It'll be cutting in and out in that case.
first rex got just under 200,000, till a dodge van in a head on, second got almost 300,000, till some kid ran into to it at about 60 while the car was parked. 233,000 on my third one still going strong, it was rebuilt about 100k ago. good to see the all the ones on the road!
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.
N/As definately live longer.

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!!
