96K and going strong on my 86.

 

Sold my 86 n/a to a guy with 245,000 miles on it. Still ran like a bat outa hell! May have been rebuilt before I got it with 160,000 miles on it, but I couldnt see any signs of a rebuild or engine pull.

 

My 88 SE has 152k and runs great. Turns over better than my 88 GTU.
My 88 GTU has 89k and runs great too.

 

I just sold my 90 GXL with 178,000 miles.
It was bone stock and still had good power with normal oil burn.
Never had any problems with the engine, or really anything else major with it. It just needed alot of other parts due to age/mileage.

 

My engine just blew with 203,000 miles on it.

 

my 87 gxl has 173,000 miles on it and she still is going and going

 

both of my 7s have been base models. the first one the 86 lasted till 175k before the engine let go and this new one i just bought an 88 SE lasted until 223k. tak about a strong engine.

 

130,000 miles...still going strong *knock on wood*

 

88 rx-7 convertible ......171,000 miles and still going strong when i decided to upgrade to a turbo motor ....Had the car since new been absolutely trouble free. two batteries and one clutch in all that time.

 

yep 13 years old 90 convertable blue 5 speed with jsut turned 106,000 miles all I have is 2 universal deep tone mufflers, its sounds bad as, my car runs real strong too I over heated it once but it wasnt serious its a good car original top too..

 

i have a 87 with 169k on it i think its about to go it over heated last sumer and now it somkes white and smels of antifreez i alos has a 85 12a with 302k on it still runing

 

mine died at 144k

 

At 163,xxx miles I either blew a coolant seal which popped a radiator hose or popped a radiator hose which blew a coolant seal. Left me stranded two hours from ******* anywhere (but I still love my NOPSTNS). Basically was my fault, though. (Edit: yeah, 110mph for 140 miles will do that to an old car with a dead radiator hose to begin with, heh. Whoops.)

 

Mine just went yesterday, 160,038 on it, Boy am I pissed.

Sorry Jason thats to bad man.

 

'86 gxl

1st motor went at 140,000..two apex seals on rear rotor

new engine gets steam cleaned all the time (jug of water, vacc. hose in jug, slurp slurp)...and has had MMO and atf sitting in the housings for a couple weeks while the engine was being put in. Running premix now too...I blame my 1st motor popping on the old lady that had it for all its life before me and never took it above 3k. Rotors had HUGE amounts of carbon buildup on them....new engine has between 90-100k on it...running strong. Doesnt burn oil at all...no smoke period..except on start up from premix.

 

My '90 lost an apex seal at 86k. I'm on a rebuild now with about 48k seems to be fine so far. Just wondering though, do you use 2-stroke for premix, and how much? And do you keep th MOP in place as well?

 

126k, 88 GXL, still going. Hopefully will make it to 150K, because it will be swapped by then.

 

Dunno, bought the car with bad coolant seals and the odometer was/is till broke, but it said 97k

 

18k....look at my sig

 

128:1 ratio...1 ounce per gallon of gas....OMP is blocked off as well as injectors....

 

87 GXL 181k
88 GXL 139k

Just my $.02

My 1988 RX7 SE has 230K miles due to good maintenance and still pulls strong despite some compression loss - Mazda compression tester recently indicated engine chambers are ok. Use MMO with engine oil change to clean carbon build-up and fuel injector cleaner with gas.

 

i have an rx7 turbo, and did 258369, until it stopped starting and i had to rebuild it.

 

87 GXL died at 153xxx miles two days after I had the clutch installed. Mechanic sabotage? Hmmm
