126700 on body/chassis. According to documents obtained at time of purchase 4 months ago,... the car has gone through 2 engines.
The current reman engine has 23k miles on it. I'm currently driving my FD about 850 miles per month.

My car had a "second" motor put in by its previous owner, a retired MP who bought it new, at around 50k. I'm pretty sure he left the oil cap off or something. I bought it at 60k, lost a coolant o-ring to freak baby chipmunk incident at 70k, and have had my KDR streetported, balanced, blueprinted, etc. motor in since, and now have 90k on it.
All else major is original, including the turbos.

Around 170,000 miles on 3rd engine.
1st went at 105k from old age, second at 145k from detonation due to cold day/timing advance/lean mixture, and 3rd is streetported, rebuilt by me and running strong. Also on 2nd tranny, 2nd diff, and 2nd turbos.
Stock seq. twins and streetport makes 355hp at the wheels.

I have around 74K on my R-1. The engine was definitely replaced around 35K and I think the turbos were as well. Garnered this info between carfax reports and KDR's feelings about the drivetrain. I wasn't given the info, but research helps.
