Who has the highest mileage on a 2004 model with an original engine?

I've heard that the 2004's might have had issues due to not enough oil being used by the engine.

I have almost 60K on my original engine 2004 model.

Has anyone hit 150K yet on a 2004? 200K?

 

yes...NOW SEARCH!

 

I did search. There was no thread specific to 2004 models.

 

there is someone who was nearing 200k last i knew.. not sure what he is on now.. and original motor... will try to dig for his thread.

 

In the OP's defense, we havent had one of these threads in a while. Mileage goes up and I was acutally curious about the same thing.


I have 72,XXX on my original 04

dec 5th, lambert had hit over 168k.

expo1 is over 100k. probably over 150k by now.. hit that milemarker back in 07. few others were close to or over 100k in expo1's thread... advanced search his name by topics he started.

 

here ya go....my old 8, had a lil over 80k miles on it, and it ran great...https://www.rx8club.com/showthread.p...ght=100k+miles

 

1.5 year old thread too.. like i was saying was an 07 thread... so hes gotta be well near if not over 150k to 175k.

 

Not to mention that I've been on the forum for two years longer than the f'ing search ****...


Thanks for all the positive responses and keep em coming.

 

them fightin words

 

so you're saying you already saw those threads then?

 

Actually, I saw something like this :https://www.rx8club.com/search.php?searchid=4400793

without my thread at the top.

I'm looking for specific info (and an update) on 2004 models with original engines which may have had their long term reliability compromised by engine management issues.

Hence, I started a new thread.

 

dont worry about it matt.. they bitch if you dont search and make a repost on the topic. and they will bitch if you bump an old thread.. you cant win with this audience.

 

 

How about lowest mileage? My bought-new 2004 just passed 18,000 last week.

-1.3L

 

I've been noticing that about a lot of forums

I'm kind of curious about this, and 1.3L...you're insane. GO OUT AND DRIVE MORE haha.

 

my 04 just passed 41,000

 

yeah my 04s up at 47xxx

 

I wish my 04 was still at 41K

 

my 04 is at 48,700. Original engine

 

Haha stop driving it for a year or 2 lol!!!!

 

Helping someone right now diagnose her 04 auto with 150k on it. Just got it started up last week after she flooded it, Still have some debug to do as she has some other issues, so don't know yet if motor is gone or not.

Update: The motor is not gone, runs just fine........for now!

 

Im at 36K on my 04 original engine

 

74k

 

I did, I retired mine in late September. Ive put under 50 miles on it since september haha. I love having a seperate DD.

This damn car will have under 90K when I pay off my loan in a couple years dammit!
