Greeting; I have a 1985 RX-7 with 381000 miles and the engine has never been broke into. I live in Newport News Virginia and would like to know about any members close to my location.

381k miles! Are you the original owner Bill? that's quite impressive. I know there's a few VA guys here, hopefully they'll chime in.

Would love to see pictures of your car too. Welcome

I am the second owner, a little over 31 years. I will take some pics and upload

Have a Merry Christmas and safe Happy New Year.

Welcome to the forum Bill!! I would love to see pictures of your RX-7! There has been a few original 12A and GSL-SE's that I've seen over the years here on the forum that have gone over 300k without a rebuild. Yours may be the highest I've heard of to date. Congratulations on maintaining the car so well!

Original engine, no rebuild

mazdaverx713b;
Thanks for the reply. RX-7 in shop for front end alignment check and E brake adjustment and belt checks. Need to find a place around Newport New, Va to have floor pan repaired (rust).

I change the oil every 2000 miles, a habit I have had for over 30 years. I have a 3-ring binder with all service since the car was purchased 9/18/85.

Hope you has a great Christmas and have a safe and happy New Year
