    High Mileage 3GEEZ. What'cha got?

    I just rolled over to 327,000 in the 89 DX. Still runs and drives good. Starting to get some squeaks from the rear suspension. I suppose they just don't make um like they used to, right!!!

    275,000 for me. Just swapped the Weber on my car too. Lost a little power, and leaks a bit of oil. But runs smooth and fires up every time. Gas mileage is still the same as stock too.

    198k runnin good leaks a tiny bit of oil think it's just the oilpan gasket but nothing too huge had the valve cover gasket changed. just hopin it's not main seals but i hear the main seals in the a20 is almost indestructable.

    No, the rear main seal is destructable. Here is some evidence. Thanks to max.

    256,000 km.. uhh..159,000 miles?

    .. 'less you guyes are talking about how many km's on your car and not miles.
    Anybody with a pulse and eyesight can get excited looking at $250,000 supercars. It takes a special kind of gearhead to drool over an Accord, Sentra, Corolla or anything else made out of parts found in dumpsters, scrap yards, and along the side of the highway.

    180km, about 112miles, not alot, but i think this car has been sitting in driveways most of its life. if it showed us how many hours the engine has been running, well then it would probably be a different story

    Re: High Mileage 3GEEZ. What'cha got?

    302,000 86 LX, interior almost like new, exterior paint is good, clearcoat is completely intact. Had a few oil leaks that I am currently done with repairing, installed weber and just put on head gasket replacing one that apparently blew between 3&4 for no reason, it ran real strong up until then. Have not cranked it up yet due to no spare time, just have a few loose ends literally, plugging up holes where things no longer exist and carb linkage fab. These cars are very fun to drive and good on gas, not real fast but feels like a V6 fwd car but a lot lighter. One of the few cars I have not minded putting a little money into knowing it probably is not worth it in regards to market value.
    Most oil leaks I have found to be hardened rubber o-ring type things, oil filter base, oil breather box to block, oil pump seals, dist seals. Nothing out of ordinary for a 20 year old car.
    True is the statement about hours put on the engine, That counts for a lot of engine wear. Idling in traffic etc.

    used to leak like a bitch but most of the seals got replaced with the timing belt so now it's just the oil pan

    I love my car. I don't think I will ever get rid of it. I think it will make a great sleeper car too, with the A20 in it.

    I love how kilometers sound so high. I'm always like WOW 352,000! I mean its still a lot, but it's like switching your digital gauges over to KM. Look ma, I'm going 100! Hehe.
