my car just turned 180k today. I was just wondering who has more than me(if anybody). .

 

Congratulations, I just hit 100,000 the other week myself.

 

I'm at 77,7XX... It'll hit 77777 on friday.

 

Cool. Are you going to take a pic of your odometer like that other member did? BTW original engine?

 

I have 192+ thousand miles on my FD

 

good to know its possible. What have you done to your car to hit such high mileage??

 

I got about 160,000 on my chassis.

 

I have 132k miles on my FD, orginial motor as well!

Wow, just wondering if you have gone through a lot of motors, if so how many motors you have gone through with 192k miles on your FD?

 

148000 Km
92500 miles on my FD

 

120,000 miles. New motor at 98,000 miles, turbos original.

 

112k on my chassis. Motor was replaced by PO at about 88k I'm actually using the original secondary turbo cartridge as the primary in my current setup. The newer secondary has about 25k miles on it.

 

145,000+
5 motors
track only for the last 3 years.

 

I am still running with the stock motor, it has never been replaced, and I also still have the stock turbo's.

 

192k miles, Nice!

 

It's actually at 194+ now. I drive it daily.

what about the suspension? have you had to replace that to achieve 194,000 miles?

Well my struts bottom out, so im pretty sure they are old as hell, I am in the process of replacing them. I am the 2nd owner, the guy who owne it before me was in the military and drove the hell out of it. I believe it is still the stock suspension, but i am not positive.

194,000 on an FD motor!??

oh my god that should be in Guiness

are you suer thats stock motor? thats unbelieveable .. lol

 

If there is any way to veryify that you are running the first motor, installed at the factory, then I think you are the new record holder.

Experts, lets help him verify this. Is there any way to verify that he is running the original motor?

 

Check on the driver door sill, the passenger also for any stickers that say Serviced at Mazda or anything the like that may have shown some dealership tampering. The earlier models had a lot of cars come back to the dealership for new motors.

Have you replaced your clutch? If you have, do you remember if the tension bolts were colored? Colored as in markered at the top?

190+k is pretty wild!

mines at 188,000

 

The problem with high mileage sports cars is that they feel like crap with worn out suspension because these suspensions are so harsh to begin with. I got sick of the judders every time I hit a bump instead of a solid WHAP when the car was newer. Compared to my softly sprung 185K miles 626, the 7 feels worn out because of the suspension.

I replaced all of my suspension arms with very low miles suspension arms front and rears, JLab bushings at 98K. The car doesn't feel new but close to it. It's so precise now that I need to get a smaller steering wheel.
