how much life should i be able to expect out of an engine rebuild? the car im looking at (my first rotor) has done 40,000 ks since it was rebuilt, and im just wondering if it will be due again soon?

 

40,000 kilometers = 26,856 miles

It depends.

Was it taken care of? Does it have the reliability mods done? Has it been tuned and modded properly? Was it made on a Monday or a Friday?

Get a compression check and have it looked over by a rotary mechanic.

That is your best bet.

 

it depends but if your stock you may be able to see another 80,000 miles out of an engine.

 

My rebuild has all of 5000 miles on it and going strong!

 

I have almost 20,000 miles and mine is strong as ever.

 

what kind of miles do people usually get out of these cars?

 

find out who did the rebuild too!

 

its running the stock turbos, FMIC, microtech mtx8 ( ithink) and im pretty sure all australian delivered fds like this one came with twin oil coolers too, so i imagine they should help with the longevity of the engine. the car is regularly serviced at one of the local rotary sepcialist mechanics too. i have no doubt the guy wouldve driven the car pretty hard at times, but appears to have looked after it well , and hey, isnt that how these cars are meant to be driven anyway? :-)
