There are alot of early Rotary people on here. How many total miles have you driven on all your Mazda RX's? I bought my first in 1971 and have had 7 of them and loged 519K total miles on Rotarys. Never had to pay for new engine! Keep your revs up! Rotary is for fun not mpg, though my 8 with twice the hp of my first rotary gets 30% better MPG!!!

 

Two rotarys and to date 160k miles of driving pleasure. :D

 

The 8 is my first rotary. Only about 11k so far.

 

I've been driving rotary powered cars since 1986. I'm not sure about the mileage but my guess would be a lot.

 

20k on my FC (bought in 2002, sold in 2004), almost 19k on the 8

39k of fantastic rotary driving here, and looking toward many many more miles in the 8 :D

 

Let's see, this is my fourth rotary. Breakdown goes something like this...

1983 RX7 45k
1985 GSL-SE 30k
1987 Turbo II 18k
2005 8 2k

= 95k, getting dangerously close to 100k. The only one that treated me bad was the II but I still loved that car best of all.

 

14,600miles on my 8.

i love my car.

 

Hmm,
I put about 60k on my FC - sold at 145k miles
About 13k on my '95FD before it got sold at 65k miles
The '8 has 35k on it so far
and the new FD (a '93) has clocked up about 4k miles since I got it (@89k miles)

So approximately 110k rotary miles.

I've had 2 piston cars in my life - the jeep has 26k on it, and the other car I probably put 20k miles on it.

So I'm at about a 2.5:1 ish. rotary to piston driven miles so far.

:-)

 

'81 RX-7 (SA22C) : 45K
'86 RX-7 (FC3S) : 26K
'93 RX-7 (FD3S) : 42K
'04 RX-8 (SE3P) : 10K

Over 120K total miles. Original owner of all my rotary cars, except for the '81 which I bought used in '82.

 

04 rx8 - 22,000 miles.

 

About 257,000 miles

1972 RX-2 92K
1978 RX-7 110K
1985 RX-7 GSL 40K
2004 RX-8 15K

Always remember that: piston engines go "boing", but the Mazda goes "hmmmmm"

 

Somehow, I think your dates are a little off there msrecant

1997 - Camero = 0 rotary miles
1998 - Civic = 0 rotary miles
2000 - Civic = 0 rotary miles
2002 - Accord = 0 rotary miles
2003 - Civic = 0 rotary miles
2005 - RX-8 = 744 rotary miles

So I've got a whopping total of 744 miles on my rotaries (well, rotary actually)

 

So you don't believe ther released th RX-8 in 1984? Give me a break, mornings are not my best time. At least I got the "4" right.

Post edited.

 

28,680 rotary miles

 

I have 18,000 Rotary Miles. LOL

 

Unfortunately I don't remember how many miles I had on my FC when I initially got it but I think I did about 50K of driving on it and I now have over 36K on my 8. I'll say between 80-90k in rotary mileage!

 

1993 FD 82,000miles
2004 RX8 38,005
total: 120,005 riles (rotary miles)

 

1973 RX-2 About 60,000 miles (ground up on the streets of NYC)
1974 RX-3 About 50,000 miles (sold when we moved to NYC)
2004 RX-8 About 6,000 miles

 

About 35,000:

20K to 21K in my 1985 RX-7 GS

14,000 in my 2004 RX-8

Every single mile a grin!

 

11k within 4 month of buying the car

 

the rx8 is my first car.

i walk to school and work, because of how close it is. 6,389 miles so far.

 

Hmmm lemme think....

81 RX-7GS 41000
83 RX-7 Limited 42000
85 RX-7 GSL-SE 15000
88 RX-7 SE 72000
05 RX-8 Shinka 1600

so... a little over 170,000 miles rotored away. More to come.

1993 3rd Gen RX7 - 85,000 mi.
