Whoa! Too much mileage! Just passed 70K on the original engine.

HottRodder

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.

04RX8man

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

wisconsinben

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?

rglbegl

If you are a ******** that can not take care of anything in life . .. expect less than 100,000

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

Yes. At 60,001 miles, your engine will explode violently, sending rotary shrapnel into your passenger compartment, which will imbed itself into your medulla oblongata.

As a precautionary measure, you should begin wearing one of these at around the 55k mile mark when driving:

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.

jtmhjh

Yeah, I rounded up.

Stickered at 34,700. After trade and haggling, somewhere around 26,000.

I presume you have a '04 or '05, there was an issue on the early cars with the engine mounts cracking, make sure that fix was done. This vibration, especially with the AC, is a primary symptom of that problem.

there is one here in town at a lot, 2004 with 75,000

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

Dallas8

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.
