How many Ks

I have done 234568 Ks in my 2004 RX8. I have owned since new.
I have had a motor rebuild at 207000 . This was caused thru Mazda dealer inability to understand the issues with a Rotary, Cost me a burnt out catalic converter as well.
The issues stemmed from the coils. Yes lesson learnt, Rotomotion service and look after my car now. By the way I've never replaced the clutch and its still going strong.

Just interested to see if there are any RX8's with more Ks than mine.
PS its lightening yellow. I do a lot of country driving. Live in western australia

There are some highest mileage threads, you should do a search and maybe put you info in one of those.
That's some high mileage!


Here is but one of a few................. https://www.rx8club.com/showthread.p...ighest+mileage

Well, I'm just starting on my RX8 - A 2003 with only 38,000K on a dial 8) Virtually a minter!
Sad week though, I'm going to have to sell my MR2 Turbo to make room for it in the garage. 8(
