Amazing...soon I will be there ...maybe 10 more years... :) I average 15,000/year so yeah... will get there sooner than 10 years I guess... :)
|
Whoa! Too much mileage! Just passed 70K on the original engine.
|
124,199. It's be more but I haven't the daily 90+ since November and it's been out of commision with ECU/OMP issues of late.
|
04' with 26,700 on it. Tranny rebuild due to an explded input bearing under warranty. Low number but can't drive it here in PA for about 4 months out of the year. Hoping to get at least 100,000 out of it if not 200,000
|
Original engine just spun me passed 75,000 miles. At 20,000/year I should see 100k next summer!

I'm new to rotary engines. Are you guys suggesting that I shouldn't get more than 60,000 miles out of my $35,000 car without buying a new engine?

My last rotary engine had WELL over 225,000 when I sold it. All original, never rebuilt. (13b) |

As a precautionary measure, you should begin wearing one of these at around the 55k mile mark when driving: https://i167.photobucket.com/albums/...83tard19yf.gif |
Sweet!
I'll try not to be a numbnut. |
The bigger question is why you paid 35G's for an 8? If that is the case, then I think you've already surpassed the numbnut stage so the discussion is moot. :)

Yeah, I rounded up.:lol: Stickered at 34,700. After trade and haggling, somewhere around 26,000. |

Seems to be doing ok although I am concerned about some vibration while idling. It gets much worse if I am running the A/C.

[IMG]n1422090090_30222056_4249372.jpg[/IMG] Congrats, smitty. Post in the 100k mile thread, and tell everyone about the maintenance schedule you adhered to, what type of oil, filters, coolant flush/fill intervals, etc. |
Im about to roll over to 74K. This is my last year using the 8 as a DD. Im buying a second car, more than likely an NA FC for a DD and going to park the 8 to give it a rest. I still have 2.5 years of payments so Id like to OWN my 8 with under 100K
|
Just passed 115,000 miles on the original engine. Paid $900 for decarboning, new coils and plugs at 65,000 miles. Pilot bearing melted later; this cost me $2400 for the transmission to be rebuilt. I just paid another $2400 for the HID lights to be replaced, due to fogging. Tail lights have been replaced under warrantee for water leaks.
This has been an expensive car, but I know now to use top tier fuel. It still runs well. |
I'm hoping my 05 with 40K miles will last a while... as I got a 60 month loan. I am religous about maintenance though, and always run premium gas.
Hopefully wont be a dialy driver for more than 3 years though (looking at one of the new tesla S sedans for commuting... if things go as planned). I have a 60 mile commute roundtrip 50/50 city highway. |
