100k miles?
I heard that the 13b engines typically last abouyt 100k miles before 'dying'. is this true or is it just the vacuum hoses that break down after 100k?

i cannot say how many threads there are on this site about that, but just for you....
most will say......
-it'll last forever, if it is tuned right
-maintain it properly, and it will last longer
-do the reliability mods on it, and the above two items, and you chances are better...
-if you treat it like a honda, it won't last for ****. read up on them, and, if you get one, maintain it religiuosly. just do not expect it to be a trouble free 'investment'.. cause they are not. when you enter into the world of forced induction rotaries, you are entering into a new world. both good and bad. treat it right and you will not desire any other car......at least this is my opinion...

Most Turbo cars last about 150k and then require a rebuilt, including Supra, Z...
If you take excellent care of the car, you can get 120-150k. Don't expect much more than that though.

For the record ... 104k and still pulling like a schoolboy!!
Keep a good magazine in the car to read while you warm up/down ... don't rush or it won't last you long.
Can somebody tell me how to get a photo into my profile so it sits beside each post ... feel like a lemon having to ask but can't find it anywhere.
