So who has the most miles on their NA? My friend just got a 90 gxl with 256k original miles, and runs like a top. This makes me want to buy another rex.
Please post miles, and maitenence performed.
Thanks, Jason

 

Igot 146k on mine but I have heard of people having as much as 300k on the original engine

 

wow! so I should be good with only 110 easy miles. I think i'll actaully keep this Rex N/A and get an FD for stupid-fastness.

 

150,6xx miles.... stuck with a blown clutch. Engines fine, can't wait 'til I throw a new clutch in so I can pass 200K. Any suggestions for a new clutch?

 

173+K Miles

 

209,000...

Runs like a top.

Man, i used to have the thought of mind that no rotary engines could last, but now i think they are fairly reliable engines if maintained reguarly. What did you guys do to make your engines last so long?

 

150k on turbo motor. Also seen 2 turbo cars with 170k still running. (80psi on rear rotor though.)

 

86 base model with 166,000 runs perfect

 

87 base with 210K. Change the oil regularly, don't run out of gas, use low octane fuel to prevent carbon build up, don't rev it cold. Same maintenance as any piston pos. Keeping the oil full and clean is probably the biggest concern. If your car is running well with 110K, just keep her maintaned and she'll be good to go for quiete some time. Your power is obviously reduced by mileage wear, but that's to be expected, even in reciprocating engines.

 

168+k on my GXl still runs, dirves good
Only prob is clutch and lots of body damage, oh and rust yeah thats not good buy hey engine is running great!

 

194,000 on an 88TII but if I don't rev it a little it dies at stop lights after I have driven it awhile.

 

175,000 on 89 GTU

 

160+k miles no smoke on start up, oil changed every 1500 miles, rad flushed every 6 months

God damn thats a lot of miles. Are any of them rebuilt?

 

Mine is rebuilt, I got 204,000 out of the original motor.

all 175k of mine are on the original engine

 

208,330 on original motor, with one rebuild at 120,000

 

Im with steel, I have 110k on my 90 GXL

 

well, it might be the original motor, rxtony, but it has still been rebuilt

 

267,500 on the original engine and as far as I know it has not been rebuilt. Ran good until I happened to have the current flooding problem.

 

I just hit 165 and I replaced clutch and all hoses and water pump.

I am about to rebuild mine at 129k miles. It didn't have any problems, no oil consumption or smoke, no coolant problems, it's just that I dropped a nut into one of the exhaust ports when I put my header on and the front rotor now has a chipped apex seal!






My 88 Acura has 300k miles, rebuilt at 205k due to smoking and oil consumption.

 

123K and runs like a champ-no probs at all so far.

 

I have 164,xxx on a turboII. I...don't think its ever had a rebuild and I really don't even treat it as well as I should treat a turboII with that many miles....and the damn thing still runs real hard. I'd trust my 10AE juust about anywhere. The alternator went out not too long ago for no reason...but thats been the only trouble with the car whatsoever in the two plus months I've had it. Best $750 i've ever spent. Even if she goes tomorrow, still the best i've spent.
