I did back around 98,000. I linked to the results in the 100,000 mile thread. The numbers were on low end of ok. But I do have an issue on the track (read my posts here) that if I want to continue doing 2 1/2 hours at Watkins Glen a couple times a year will require some work. So I am getting a Rick Engman rebuilt from Mazmart. In other words an elective engine rebuild in order to still do HPDE. So once I get that done I can't brag about 110,000 mile RX-8 anymore.

Mine is an '04 130k GT and the only issue that I'm having with it is sometimes the clutch wouldn't let me shift gears but once I bled it the problem went away. I do love it so if the engine takes a dirt nap an rx7 engine swap would be a nice alternative. That'll turn some heads c:
