Dear everybody,

After 8 months with no replies to this thread, any updates?

I have seen the following figures from some members with high mileage cars:

expo1 - 92.000 miles
swoope - 70.000 miles

About lambertRX8... it would be interesting to see what reads the highest mileage car of the club!!!

Cheers

Hey any major problems with almost 100,000 on it??? Do you notice it using more oil or anything compared to a piston engine how does it run?

 

January 14th 2007 -- currently ~5K miles

Loves oil, 87 octane, and a fuel filler cap replacement. My clutch pedal has squeaked since the day I drove it off the lot...just doesn't really bug me enough currently to do anything about it. Assuming I can stop getting tickets, this thing feels like it coud run forever.

 

81k here

new motor at 73k - new one runs great
cat's going now....rattle in exhaust pipes tell me it's comming apart

It's ok, I love driving the car. As problems come up, I put them down.

 

9900.............bought it back in sept 06.

 

nov 06 and i have 13k miles....i drive alot

 

'04 MT GT Nordic Green, bought it last April, 23500 miles; love it!

 

June 05

29201 miles.

 

Expo1 65k or LambertRX-8 100K does the engine run smoother and faster with miles on it compared to when it was new, has the mpg improved? Of course the 6 spd tranny can't get any better maybe a little smoother because of wear in.

The rest of you guys are just looking at the car and not driving it. Maybe some of you guys that pushing 20-30k got some hard time in.

 

Purchased Sept 2004...............to date 9800 KM not sure what that is in miles, Hasn't seen a winter and not a daily driver.

 

I hit 93,000 miles this week, I don't think its any smoother or faster than when I was at 5,000. I will be going to Pocono Raceway in July for some hard driving and will be better able to tell. After the "M Flash" (2004) I was able to get 21 mpg and depending on how I drive I still can get that.

Have you got it back?

If so, how is the car performing now?

Please, let us know. Yours is the car with highest mileage (unless LambertRX8 comes back to the forum)
