It looks like, with today's modern materials, there's no reason why ren cannot reach 1 million miles easy.

 

Did Lambert get a new engine or did they just fix his SDAIS?

 

I'm only nearing 27K and my car was built in Nov. 2005.

 

Build date of Nov 2003 @ 14.5k as of today but then I don't think that's the point of this thread lol

 

about to hit 100,000

lambert is the king of miles. expo1 is second. i think i might be third..

i am coming up on 100k soon.

beers

 

So mileage (I know the odometer does) survives a rebuild? This was probably already hashed in the prior 6 pages but imho new engine = disqualified -- or -- counter reset.

 

there is no odometer reset! think about it: you still have wear on the tranny, diff, belts, bushings, etc.

 

I don't have to think about it. lol... I know the dealer doesn't install a new console when he rips out your compressionless carbon mass and replaces it.

tranny, diff, belts, etc aren't critical. The car can technically still "run" without them... you may not make it any where, but it'll still run. Yanking the motor is like getting a new lease on life... again imho.

If I were to get a new engine or a rebuilt, my personal mileage counter would be reset, regardless of what my odo says, perhaps that helps clarify my vague comment about the "reset".

 

I am at about 130,000 miles. I did have an elective rebuilt put in at 110,000 but that is explained in other threads. Other things to note is My trans has never been worked on. I still have the original CAT. So I think I have something to offer threads like this.

 

I wouldn't suggest otherwise expo. I've read your rebuild thread, as well as countless other informative posts you've made.

I wasn't saying you guys don't have a voice. I'm merely suggesting that your mileage numbers don't count when it comes to a n00b like me sitting with a mere 14k on an 04 trying to get a feel for when I'm going to go compressionless, although that does appears to be more and more like a big roulette wheel at this point.

 

my old car i put new gauge faces on and broke the needle for the gas gauge. Had them replace the cluster and mileage reset, though it hurt the value sorta, cause when i sold it it was an 02 with 20k miles showing but it actually had 120.

 

I am at 161,866 mile as of August 30, 2008.

Still original engine, just replace clutch about a month ago, had a rebuilt alternator installed last year. More info on changes in other threads.

Still kicking......

 

By being able to tell the future you, sir, have a gift. Use it for good and never evil.

i'm at 55,ooo waiting on my first real pain in the but dealer to fix my engine knocking!(FINGERS CROSSED)

 

Amen to that brother!


I have 49750 as of Aug 23 2008. Bought her 2/14/04.

 

wow what's it like in october of 08? Do rotary owners rule the world???

 

surely you should be asking about the stockmarket , horse races etc then you could rule ze werlt !!!!

 

My mistake it is August 30 not October 30.... my bad. No I can not see into the future.

 

Told you guys! Also, hi Lambert! Didn't know you posted over on this side. I'll see you next time we have a meet on a Sunday (HA!).

 

93K here it's an 04 model, don't remember the build date. I've changed the springs but that's it other then maintenance items. I'm planning on doing a clutch soon tho (mines fine but I want a better feel) and the RB intake and exhaust. The car is winter driven and she's stayed clean so far.

 

Like to see what the haps are here on the big side. Looking for info and parts all the time.

 

How many of you with high mileage are on your original engine? Its giving me hope!!
I am at 119K on my original engine right now.

 

i have 50,200 miles on my original 04 woot woot
