Today I ran into a gentleman who has a 93 Rx7. I asked him about his maintence issues because I used to have a Rx7. He told me he has the original brakes and clutch. He is the original owner. Are there anybody else who has original brakes and clutch after 95,000 miles? He was'nt trying to sell the car, he has three relatives waiting for him to get tired of it.

 

brake rotors yes, pads no.
clutch? i wouldn't think so but i GUESS it is theoretically POSSIBLE.

 

ive got the original clutch at 103k miles. its so almost gone. and yeah, im replacing it soon.

 

depends on how you drive i guess if he downshifted all the time the breaks might last but the clutch too? i dont know does it really matter how long his breaks last or clutch. those are like the least of anyones worries with this car? i call that guys bullshit card but who knows?

 

They might be original if he always babied the car and used the clutch properly (too many people here obviously can't drive a 5 speed properly, and they on top of that they go and abuse it).

But plan to replace both. Many stock clutches died by 50k.

A clutch should easily last 95k miles if the driver knows how to shift.

Original pads are possible too - though less likely - if the car is mostly highway driven.

 

I've gone 150k hard street and HPDE driven miles on a stock clutch in my old Turbo II. In 15 years of driving, I've never worn out a clutch.

 

i bought my car off an old lawyer, he was the original owner and my car had the original brake rotors and clutch. the old guy didnt even know about the shift beep at redline. i also got a huge stack of service records with the car. after owning the car for like 3-4 years he tried to get the dealership to "pop out the dent in the front air-dam" u know the one thats supposed to be there. lol he was a strange man. sorry for gettin off topic there guys. he he he
