Best thread ever.

It warms me to the core every time I see a new entry.

 

88k Miles here, original engine.

Still pulls strong in cold weather, but in the heat she's a bit slower than she used to be. I plan on getting the compression checked later this summer, so hopefully I can get a new engine before the 100k warranty is up. I'm not sure how long past 100k it'll last, but it's been a great engine so far since they day I bought her new

 

130,000 original engine still running strong! Its maintenance has been flawless and way over done, no premix though.

 

Must be the NC air!

 

Maybe! Or perhaps the RX8 gods are being kind because they know there is no way in hell I could afford to replace the engine....

 

89k on original 04 engine. Still runs just as strong as when I first got it (at 66k).

Oil change at least every 5000 miles 5w20 non synthetic.
Redline at least once a day

 

45,134 here..premix for about 10k miles....the real ? is who is going to b the first one with over 100k miles on their FI motor?

 

Someone here has over 175k miles on an 04 or 05 and did almost no maintenance except oil changes...

 

Ditto!! I id buy an extended warranty though.. I think it will be crap if I do have to replace the engine with it but they have replaced my starter so far..

 

I think I'm gonna get my compression tested here when I get a second car (beater) to keep miles off my 8. I don't want my engine to be bad, and I don't think it is, but if I can get a new engine before 100k I'd honestly prefer it in a way..

 

As of this second mine has 104,476!! Yeah for me

 

Hey Lurch, congrats on the 100k mark, bro.

 

just got mine two days ago it has 90K on it runs good just a hint of burn smell on outside of car though after red line hope thats not really bad lol.

 

Just an idea guys¨

People with 100 K miles or more would help a lot if they post their maintenance as expo did.

Thanks

 

121 000 miles here, still going strong

2004 GT

 

Bro van gelukwensen!

 

Agreed.

 

31,347 04 gt its not my fastest car but its my favorite to drive and take great care of the paint i probably have the shiniest vr 8 in ohio haha i love detailing cars....i got a 90' 300zx with 175k originaly engine and trans and a 98 jeep grand cherokee with 170k and my 944 recently blew a head gasket at 260k original motor(having engine professionally rebuilt)

 

Just about to hit 15k miles! HA TAKE THAT!

*Man, I didn't even put 7k miles on her in a year...and I drive her every day! Oh well, long lasting!*

 

Any higher mileage RX-8's with original RENESIS?

 

Just turned 8k. I will timeout before the 100k.

 

82,xxx miles...runs perfectly. Just take care of it. Maintenace...maintenace...maintenace is key.

 

Mine got to 76k on original engine and will most likely last the new owner well past 100k.

 

i think i know this guy, he said he went up to like 112, or something like that without swapping fluids or brakes

 

where's ever at?? wasn't he like one of the first owner's to crack 100k like two years ago or something?

btw; 47k here - runnin' on full syn since 10k
