85 gsl-se 175,000 kms
04 RX-8 52,000 kms
so i guess 227,000 kms equals about 140,000 miles of pure pleasure and i never EVER flooded a rotary even though i never payed attention with my rx-7 at warming up the car before turning it off. :-)

1982 RX7 150,000 miles Most expensive repair: $700 Original Engine
2004 RX8 15,000 miles Most expensive repair: None other than routine service
More fun, more attention, and more pride than one should get out of a car!

04 RX-8 20K.
I know this is some what off subject but the dealer told me that the 8 has a 300K life expectancy however, I can't find any documents to back this up.

This is my first Rotary, so I am only at 350miles, looks like I have a long way to go to catch up. The rest was done in those Piston Engines, I'm beginning to wonder if I will ever go back, the Renesis is AWESOME!

let's see, Dad bought the first '79 Rx-7 in town in late 1978 and drove it for 80k miles, then traded it to me. so for me it's been:
'79 Rx7 40k miles 12a
then a street-ported 13b 10k miles, blew up at track day
rebuilt same street-ported 13b 5k miles now sold.
'94 Rx7 45k miles (all street) engine + turbos rebuilt under warranty. now sold.
'04 Rx8 owned it just 3 weeks. 1k miles
= 101,000 rotary miles!!! + dad's 80,000 = 181,000 family rotary miles
