you inspire me!
Mine is about 38k behind you and mine doesnt' look anywhere near yours.
But nothing major, so it can all be fixed, or worked on.
Congratulations. I hope I make it there safely also.

If you have a floor jack and and jack stands I wouldn't hesitate changing the oil as often as you want. I used the OEM tires until they were unsafe to drive around in. Those were replaced with yokohamas evs's, didn't like them all that much after around 8k miles. Those were replaced with Toyos T1R's and have used those until now. I'm curious to try some azenis rt16 when my current set wears out. The brake lines were upgraded along with Hawk HPS pads. I still have the OEM rotors, but I'm thinking of replacing those with 2 piece rotors.
what did the odometer read when you changed stock tires to the toyos? just curious

Thanks Machfive
Axial flow SS to go with the Clutch/Flywheel combo, battery with more cranking amps and a larger starter, REVi intake with duct and REV8 exhaust, RB spark plugs wires and gauge pod. On the suspension side MS strut bars with RB sways. Also D-specs with S-techs for now. I'm itching for coilover now though..
here are some quick pics
im also wondering what other mods do u have other than flywheel as u mentioned...do you have an aftermarket intake installed?

Is it safe to say that a Renesis that makes it to 100k trouble free should have no problems hitting 200k with proper preventative maintenance?
My take on this is that the main problem one would face with a rotary at this developmental stage is a compression problem, and that such a problem would be more likely than not to manifest itself in the first 100k miles if there were 'contact' or lubrication issues with the motor.
