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

Steel

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.

RotorDemonGXL

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?

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?

SaabGuy

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

dragondwc777

86 base model with 166,000 runs perfect

kristopher_d

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!

QUAID

RXtony

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

RexSe7en

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

EndlessRPMs

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

adamalexander

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.

Psychoblue23

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.

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.
