Hi , I'm new to the forum and have read just about all of it over the last week or so ( sad I know) . Got some great info so far .
I'd like to know how many km/miles people have done in their 8's so far & how reliable they have been. Particularly interested if anyone has over 100000 km (62000m) I've heard that Rx7's are not the greatest for this -how about the renesis
I'll start it off
KM on clock 48000 (30000 of those with me driving)
very reliable so far - motor seems strong only problem I've had is a faulty spark plug lead

 

I am close 97,800 km / 60,770 miles with no major problems.

 

I will try to bump this thread in 5-6 years. I am still on 34000km after nearly 2.5 years of ownership and the last 4000km in 6 months.

My NZ friend. Faulty spark plug cord, or spark plug itself?

 

Hi taka

The mechanic told me that the lead had been installed wrong ( not pushed on far enough i guess he means) and spark had been tracking direct to motor.

I have done 30000 km in 12 months so was keen to get some feedback as I am racking up the ks pretty quick.

 

i have just gone past the magical 8,000 kms barrier, (yep, eight thousand kilometers) after almost 2.5 years of ownership
the way im going atm, i'd be lucky to go past 10,000kms before change of ownership....

 

Hmm, what was that about blinged up show cars that never get driven?? lol - just joking Eric.

 

I have done 7,700km since getting the car -- all of 8 weeks now. May need an engine change within a couple of years at the rate I am going. (I live on a tiny city-state island.)

 

Done 21000 kms had the car for 12 months .

 

10800 km in 4 months

 

I have about 11000 (about 17000 km) miles on my 04 that I bought in March of 04. I have a company car so that's why it's low mileage, but I do drive it every chance I get.

 

done 4854 nautical miles in 14 months of trouble free zoom zooming

 

There is a member on here (NYT-OWL) from Texas that has quite a few miles on his 8. I think that he has surpassed that 62,000 mile mark without any issues thus far.

As for me, I am at 39,000 miles so I am getting there quickly. Sorry, I don't know the km conversion.

 

Hi there....I have just clocked 6,000kms since Jan......1,500 kms not mine....so far have only had issues with the guys kaning me cause I have a vacuum leak noise when the engine is running .....it's been discussed that I know this because I am a female and have an affinity for vacuum cleaners....nice huh...LOL takes a lot more to upset me though....also used 1lt oil as well in that time...just got the fuel tank heat issue recall notice as well

 

1 mile = 1.6km

or if you want to get REALLY specific, 1 mile = 1.60934km


and for the smart *** who posted nautical miles, 1 nautical mile = 1.15078 miles


yeah...I'm a dork.
