View Full Version : OK...where's your mileage? Rudenauer 09-05-2003, 05:28 AM Mileage check! Mine just hit 5000 this evening, see below. Does anybody have more yet? All seems well at this point too, what with the new oil pan and clutch and all... Remember, higher mileages don't mean much without a picture! rael 09-05-2003, 07:31 AM 5000 and all is well?? A short commentary that the 8 has been a great purchase (or not) would be useful from existing owners to those of us still waiting with baited breath. rael aussie77 09-05-2003, 07:56 AM 350 miles and counting ;) RX-Nut 09-05-2003, 11:55 AM New oil pan and clutch? What happened.. I knew about the oil pan/light defect.. but haven't heard about a clutch.. I'm at 2209 but no pics.. sorry. donald121 09-05-2003, 11:58 AM 2200 miles FEBtch 09-05-2003, 12:20 PM Purchased mine 7/19 - I am at 5968.

Hayseed 09-05-2003, 08:10 PM 2,200 Yea, what's with the clutch??? I have had engine light, oil light, passenger door that doesn't close, a fan that's gone on once and only once, despite many 90+ days. Still, I love this car. seikx8 09-05-2003, 08:25 PM 30xx miles. Last night came back from work after parked, I notice the exhaust note when rev, also the Zzzz sound coming from the engine bay (still have no time to check out what yet). Maybe the engine is open up a bit and the exhaust is broken in finally :D Still, it was a blast to drive 60 miles round trip daily to work :cool: Puppy1 09-05-2003, 08:36 PM 3,100 miles. Need to change oil this weekend. No problems except for oil light >85 mph. Added 1 qt of oil at 2,500 miles. Consistent 19-21 mpg in mixed driving. And most importantly 100 SMILES per gallon!!! :D :D :D Puppy1 09-05-2003, 08:38 PM Originally posted by FEBtch Purchased mine 7/19 - I am at 5968.

RX, here's the post about my clutch experience: http://www.rx8forum.com/showthread.php?s=&postid=100426#post100426 After the new clutch though, the car has been "tip top"! FEBtch 09-06-2003, 03:55 PM Sorry - no digital camera. It's not like I'm driving that much - only about 100mi/day... FEBtch 09-07-2003, 05:39 PM Sunday, Aug 7 2003. DisneyDestroyer 09-08-2003, 01:35 PM just a hair under 3k miles, and my last tank was 20.1 MPG. And except for a bad tire valve leaking air, no problems. Squidward 09-09-2003, 04:32 AM I'm at 1930 right now.. Got my car about 3 weeks ago... Right on track for reaching my 7/100k mile warranty in about 2.5 years ;) aussie77 09-09-2003, 09:31 AM Now sitting at 595 miles. Cannot wait for work to end so I can go and drive around to get past 600! |
