Congratulations if that is the original engine.

Wow, I wonder how many other modern vehicles exist where there the owner's get excited by having an engine last 100k.

True, but how many other modern vehicles have the same styling and social response as the FD? (except for Ferrari, and Lambos)

When you had it rebuilt was there a serious problem? What prompted the rebuild? Was there any kind of report from the rebuilder on what was going on inside?

100,000 miles is pretty damn old, considering it's a 13B-REW. That's 70,000 miles "over the hill".

hey guys,

Stop trying to steal my thunder.

I'm pretty damn proud of having a 100k original engine. I wish I could say the same about my turbos.

Yeah that's great. Anyways, the REAL question is... who will have the last remaining original engine @ 100,000 miles+?

THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE!
