Best thread ever.
It warms me to the core every time I see a new entry. |
88k Miles here, original engine.
Still pulls strong in cold weather, but in the heat she's a bit slower than she used to be. I plan on getting the compression checked later this summer, so hopefully I can get a new engine before the 100k warranty is up. I'm not sure how long past 100k it'll last, but it's been a great engine so far since they day I bought her new :) |
130,000 original engine still running strong! Its maintenance has been flawless and way over done, no premix though.

Must be the NC air! :)

89k on original 04 engine. Still runs just as strong as when I first got it (at 66k).
Oil change at least every 5000 miles 5w20 non synthetic. Redline at least once a day :) |
45,134 here..premix for about 10k miles....the real ? is who is going to b the first one with over 100k miles on their FI motor?
|
Someone here has over 175k miles on an 04 or 05 and did almost no maintenance except oil changes...

Maybe! Or perhaps the RX8 gods are being kind because they know there is no way in hell I could afford to replace the engine....

I think I'm gonna get my compression tested here when I get a second car (beater) to keep miles off my 8. I don't want my engine to be bad, and I don't think it is, but if I can get a new engine before 100k I'd honestly prefer it in a way..

As of this second mine has 104,476!! Yeah for me
