My car turned 60K today . I have been dreading this moment for months. I guess that I will now have to rebuild the engine, and get new turbos. Dang, just when I thought everything was working so well............

Can anyone recommend a good rotary psychiatrist???

 

I bet your car does not feel 60K. It'll be OK... Cheap Bastard.

 

that made me laugh!

 

When you do finally rebuild it, I want to hear all about the Cheap Bastard Rebuild kit you fab up.

 

The proper reaction should be like those people who have a near death experience. Every day is gravy time now. You have a new and enhanced appreciation for each drive. The sun shines brighter, the flowers smell sweeter, and your rotary is happily humming away.
La, la, la, la, la.

 

Man, I knew that intake was too good to be true

 

never know....it could last another 60k!

 

I was pretty bummed last month when I hit 80k. I gladly be in your position.

 

Mine just turned 60K, also. Damn long *** drives to auto x.

 

Hmmmmmmmm ............. "Cheap Bastard Rebuild Kit"!!! I like the sound of that

Yep!! Yesterday was an autocross day. 140 miles one way .

 

Congrats, Adam. It's nice to hear stories about people who are enjoying their cars without killing them. I hope you get to 100k.

-s-

 

I'm almost at 90K w/ original motory & turbos. ****** WILL NOT BLOW

 

~I have 140K on the car beat that! still has great compression, but shitty turbos. motor must have been rebuilt by the last owner but the question is when?...........

 

Let me drive it for a day. I bet I can break some things.

But just because your car hit 60k doesn't mean you have to rebuild. If everything works, don't fix it. There is no use in pulling something apart unless you have too. Don't get me wrong, you can pull the motor apart and do watever you want. I just don't think it's economical. Besides, I had my orginal motor go to 101k without any problems.

 

Here is the dilemma, if you wait until the motor blows for the rebuild, the damage to the parts (housings) could be very costly. But if you do the rebuild befor it blows, you know all the parts are still good (if it is a first rebuild or possibly second). Which way is more economical, who knows, it's a crap shoot.

 

That's true. Let's just hope u don't loose an apex seal. Pray for a coolant seal failure in lieu of that.
