121k, Compression is over 100psi. Been smoking some at start-up because of the turbos, little shaft play. Other then that, never had any problems. Lots of mods, only mod left is the IC. I have the Greddy Turbo cont. set at the lowest setting and getting 11-8-11 boost. Set at 2pm and 10am I'l get 16psi of boost, once in a while since I don't have an IC yet, will get the Williams IC soon, very soon. Best part it's an Auto, for us middle-aged guys.

Mine is totally stock and has 113K currently no motor problems just a couple of blown hoses.
Side note: I sold my 1981 gen 1 with 215k on a stock motor but that was a non turbo car.

92,000+
and still strong. My R1's a daily driver, 4-seasons per year, as well as weekend racer. It's been tracked from the time it had 20,000 miles on the odometer, with an average of 10 events per season. Compression test done Sept 30, 2000 and 78,290 miles--6.3, 6.3, 6.2 on front rotor; 7.0, 7.0, 7.0 on rear rotor. That reading was taken 14,000 miles and 14 track events ago. Boost is 10, 8, 10, with some slight oil smoke upon hard acceleration indicating tired turbos. Don't go jinksing me, now!

Mine is just about to roll over to 70K. I thought my cooant seals were shot, but they turned out to be OK. Now my vacuum is a bit low and the idle is lumpy, but I'm hoping some ATF and a new set of plugs will take care of that.
