Turbo2 has 196K miles, new motor has 5K on it, original lasted until 191K miles, it was living off of one apex seal :P

88SE has 184K miles, original motor craped out around 150K, guy replaced it with a 1990 nonturbo motor, the rear plate is now leaking oil and needs to be rebuilt.

182K on my 88TII, driven hard constantly, just now deciding to pull the engine. It was still going strong when I started to pull it out though.

237K on the OEM apex seals? They should be hitting the 6mm limit right about......NOW...

That would kind of suck to have one roll out at 130 mph

my 87 se had 123k before i sold it and had awesome compression. my 91 coupe had 126k before pd fire killed the engine bay, but my 91 vert auto has 190k w/ about 40k on a rebuild. the tranny on the vert gave out at 130k though. i believe that the auto tranny will actually blow the motor earlier because you cant rev to 8k and get carbon out like you can with a 5spd, but hey what do i know

Original transmission, the original OMP lasted over 430,000, two radiators (DexCool devoured the first replacement radiator after 8 months. Six months later, the coolant seal went. Coincidence? I think not), countless tires, brakes, hoses, belts, etc., etc., etc.

I have 92K on my 1986 Base Chassis... there are probably 300K miles on the assortment of other RX7 parts combined in my car.

The LS1 under the hood has 51K. ;-)
