How Many Miles on your car

[Trys_Hard]

I just bought my car last Dec and it had 87k miles on it. It now has 93k with more than a few of them being Autox miles. I was just reading some of the 4G63 guys boasting of the durability of their motors. Let's hear all your motor and tranny stories which should be different for the 420A.
My Talon was built in Oct 94 according to the DSM sticker on the door. I believe that this car was probably in a pretty good accident at one time. But it doesn't really rattle hardly at all. Even though there seems to be pieces missing everywhere! The engine runs real strong, I have an HKS Cat and K&N drop in, stock shocks (Original soon to be replaced) and springs. It's has a leaky Headcover gasket (very small leak), and I think that the valve seals are getting weak. When I drive the car hard as in autox it sometimes blows blue smoke out the tail pipe. This often occurs after some real hard turning and accelerating during autocross. Never on the street does it ever smoke even when I have it at WOT. Other than that I have no complaints and I love my NT and my insurance premiums! :D

So what year and how many miles are on your NT?

[DSMLaser]

I bought a 90 laser in july of 2000. It's has the 2-liter engine with about 149k now. The lifters are a little noisy on cold start-ups, but otherwise I love the car. It has great acceleration for a four cylinder (maybe it only seems like that because my last car was nissan pulsar). I haven't had any problems out of the engine and as far as I can tell it hasn't even had a rebuild yet.

[sferre1121]

I had 148,000 HARD miles on my 92 Laser RS N/T before the 3rd timing belt went. It only had 15000 miles on the belt. Before it happended though, the car ran like a champ. It didn't burn any oil and it didn't even have any lifter tick. It's got 170,000 now after a rebuild. Although the body looks like hell, it runs great. I have since aquired a FWD Turbo and gave my baby to my sister.

[Turbo2]

Here's one for you guys to ponder about, I'm about to hit 200k in my 1.8L(4g73) daily driver, talk about durability for such a small engine!!!

[Nemesis]

[hardlydangerous]

91 laser RS N/T 230,000 km
Still runs like a dream.

[OPCLIPSE96]

96 Eclipse GS with 68,850 on the odometer with the usual little bit of lifter tick and leaky rear main seal....other than that good to go !!!!

[gondzur]

well, she ran like a striped ass ape til around 130K then puked oil everywhere under the hood. currently in pieces

[Turbo2]

hey guys, me again, well, my car (1.8L) just hit 200200 on the odometer.

[95ESi]

I bought my 1995 ESi 2 years ago when it had 45k KM. Looking at the DSM sticker it is marked Nov1994 as it's manufacture date. So far to date the odometer reads 90k KM (and half of the mileage I put on it was on low profile tires).

Aside from the lifter tick, rattling squeaky heat shields of the exhaust, and bouncy suspension my car is in running order (knock on wood). Plus, it is now being forced fed air. :)

[dave92]

have a 92 with 66000 no big deal but i have an 87 integera with 244000 on it an a celica (88) with 230000 nether of the last two have ever had the engins out so all i have to say is chang the oil every 3000 and replace timeing blelts befor they brake and they will run forever ps the acura sitll get run down at front st in philly pa every weekend soon to be replaced by my 92 eclipec

[dfowler21]

My 92 GS clicked over 112k last night. Course theres only about 700miles on the new head (lousy water pumps!!)

[destrux]

The first owner of my 93 eclipse 2.0 nt had the timing belt fail and let the car sit (in the sun...eek) for about 5 years (you can see one side is faded..the other isnt...getting it repainted soon). Then he traded it to a dealer with 30,000 miles on it and they dropped in a 92 talon motor (with a mitsu valve cover) with 70,000 mi on it.
Runs like a dream...

[colonelfox]

1990 Talon ESI with 92000 mi.

[MindBlowin03]

86,000 on my 94 Talon.
GET THIS!!!!!! About 2 miles from my house, there is a 90 Talon TSi AWD with only 63,000.

[Doug96GS]

[BlackRS]

have about 89000 on my 96'. but i had a cracked block at 50000, and a blown head at 65000. never had any problems with the tranny though. don't play with nos or turbos, just a daily driver. don't have any problems now, none of these problems detured me i still love my car.

~Matt~

[crbtree]

hey,
bought my 92 LAser RS NT with125,000 miles; added the handling goodies, some exhaust work, rims, etc. new timing belt at 180,000(it had a new stock clutch repl at 120,00)
This car is my daily driver and rally car; in 2002 I put over 75,000 miles on it without missing a single day!and, I drive it hard, and some of the rallies I run are fast, gravel performance type rallies. I have three sets of rims, stock 16' with snow stude, stock 14" with rally tires and 16" QT 10's with Ziex tires.
Last month, with 205,000 miles, the PS belt took out the Alt belt which took out the ACbelt which wrapped around the crank pulley, and somehjow got insid ethe timing belt cover, under the TB and, well, it made a lot of expensive noises.
New JDm spec motor in garage now, waiting for install; I love this car; it is fast, fun, handles like a roller coaster on tracks, and is cheap to run as well.:D
92 Laser RS NT
Hacked air can with K&N
SSymborsky shifter kit

[PC Talon]

[ii0oo0oo0oo0ooi]

111,000 90 laser rs n/t, engine runs MINT exhaust is a$$ (well, till next week anyways :D ). hey Doug96GS, I live in beacon and i am 58 miles from the whitestone bridge. how are you 120 miles from the bronx? isnt warwick in orange cty? just wondering...

[likuidphreon]

124,xxx mi on a '91 GSX... thanks to a weak hose and a worn water pump...I am now doing a rebuild :rolleyes: But hey...we all need a reason for one, mine just came unexpected. :(

[Shadovvz]

157,000

[AngryScientist]

130,000 as of a few days ago, stock clutch, i think ill have to crack soon and buy it, but then i wont have an excuse not to go to the track and embarass myself :P

[crbtree]

okay, new post;
My 92 Laser has at the time of this writing, 252,899 miles on it. The "new" motor has almost 100,000 on it. replaced another axle, replaced the transmission last week, runs like a scalded dog, gets nearly 30 mpg, and still gets rallied regularly!

[really slow FWD]

92 talon with 130,9xx mi

[Maddyn]

90' talon, right now it has 191k on it, by the end of the week it'll be around 193k once I get back to hot springs. Engine runs great, doesn't like cold weather too much, altho I may have just fixed that problem, found most my vaccume hoses melted off. But it runs great, normal lifter noise, no problem making 1200 mi trips at 95 across montana. Suspension could use some work, gravel roads really do a number on it. I'm the second owner btw, had about 160k on it when I got it a few years ago

[AcidMax]

155k on mine ...... STOCK CLUTCH :D needs to be replaced soon, my suspension is shot need new springs and struts, driver side tie rod is going, i alredy had the t-belt replaced other than that my car runs like a champ... besides the white smoke i get when i let the car idle too long hehe

[no_turbo_talon]

I got 260k KM. No major problems yet. still running strong!
I dont know how manny milles that is?

[BluePlymouth]

180,000 and dead

[hkdl]

165,000 Only really major thing was the clutch that was replaced at 125,000, it has bad lifter tick and a beat up body. but the engine is still strong.

[Wufei]

'99 A/T 110k now. Just bought it not long ago, it shakes at 60+ mph and doesn't have much power :(

At least the insurance is cheap :D (and going for a tune-up soon)

[Ozzmosis]

170K and still runs strong although now my front end is all messed up from someone hitting me in a ford focus. The focus is totalled and I just drove home like normal as if nothing had happened in my Talon

[talon94es]

150K and rolling/rolling/rolling strong. It does burn about 1qt every 1,500 miles or so. Not sure where the oil is going - probably the piston rings letting some oil in and burnt but I don't really get much smoke. I could probably do the valve gasket again since its been a few years but I don't see much leak around that or the half-moon. I think its the stock clutch. New suspension at 100K and it handles great and is pretty solid. Just ordered some new tires so more miles to come! Great car and its going into its 1st year of being a snowboard car since my jettas tranny went last spring.

[VicVega]

64k on a 95 Gst

[Shadovvz]

110k on my 90 tsi

[gotturbo11]

180,000 on the body of my 90 TSI (shows its age :( )
about 100,000 on bottom end.
3,000 on Head
2nd Tranny. Not sure of mileage.

[AWDScreamenEagle]

154K

Unfortunately, the car was a b-belt into the t-belt victim and the head has been rebuilt. The short block is still origonal though.

[DR1665]

164K+ on chassis
103 on engine


Had it over 8.5 yrs now. Loved nearly every minute of it.

[Red Sleeper]

My 90 talon i recently sold has 87k...
My laser had 131k
and my colt that i just picked up has 172k and still running strong.
There is this guy around here with a 90 gsx that has just over 60k original miles. its the cleans 1ga i've seen and he payed 2000 for it. what a steal

[Ace14O]

Picked it up at 192k with a blown motor(tbelts fault), dropped a new one in, and now at 194k she's sitting in my garage making me wish I'd dropped a new tranny in there too.

[kibo55]

i got over 180,000 and its still great for its age.

[atxdsm]

112,122 on my 95 Talon

[dstock22]

158,6xx on my '92 A/T TSi

Still runs strong and shifts perfect every time.

[cbilmer]

My 95 currently has 95,000 miles (152,000 km).

Still running great, (170+ psi on all cylinders) although there are 2-3 tiny rust spots starting to form. I guess that happens from driving it in the winter! :(

The car has always responded really well to mods too. 14.3 with only hard intake pipes and a MBC. Not too bad for a near stock full weight 2G.

The car still gets ALOT of looks, and nobody thinks that its a 95. (the car looks much newer, but the dsm crowd knows by looking)

[sootyboy]

113,000 on mine 1992 eagle talon that I race on 3/8 mile dirt oval in third gear wide open taching out at 6500 and at 65 mph. These car are our track favorite we started three years ago with the 4 cly. class and had 1. Two years later e have 7 registered to race. Strong car even under these conditions!!! :eek:

[WARHEAD1980]

I got 98 GST with 122,000 5sp engine very strong but big problems with trans, already replaced 3 clutches and $1800 on parts for trans. DSM's engines rock IF you take care of it.

[---]

95 Talon ESi

130k when I bought it

Like 132k now

[98rs_sleeper]

yea the premiums are sweet! i also have an n/t... 126k + on the stock motor and tranny. ive replaced the head gasket and valve cover gasket and the gromets. all the internals are stock. i have all the bolt-ons i.e. cai, header, exhaust, and i also have an s-afc 2. but all internals are stock.

[Billiard]

50,000 on a 95 GS bought last week engine has no noise runs great

[stickers]

75,000 miles , bought it new in 95.

[t4cyclone TSI]

I bought my 93 Del Sol in Aug of 04 and it has 75k on it. I also bought my 94 Talon TSI in March of 04. It has 125k on it but the JDM cyclone swap i got for it has about 40k on it and you can tell that it has been rebuilt recently.

[KrackerG]

99 gst spyder 46k mi

bought march 04 36k mi

[kev94gswi]

'94 GS 2.0....just replaced the engine with a JDM I got on eBay at 174k....has 176k now, runs perfectly and burns NO OIL! Should be good for a long, long time again now.

An incorrectly installed broken timing belt was the culprit. It's amazing how hard it is around here to find a decent DSM mechanic who knows how to install the balance shaft belt in phase and do the timing correctly. Choose wisely and your 4G63N/T can last a LONG, LONG time.

[DSMtech360]

91 GS/T 59,538. A 70 year old man traded it in at the dealership I work at for a Town & Country mini-van. Everytime he gets his oil changed he asks me how the car is doing. I think he would kill me if he knew how hard I run it. Oh well the thing gets a 60k service every year, and a can of MCCC every oil change. Now to figure out where the H*** that clunk is coming from.....

[eclipse40342]

I have 221,000 on my 95 eclipse RS. I am currently running off 3 cylinders, a blown head gasket, leaky valve cover gasket, noisy valves, and still drive it about 50 miles a day. :o

[DSMX1]

i have a 1990 2.0L eclispe gs and its got about 139,000 miles on it ive owned it for a year and ive barely driven it, maybe about 100miles ive taken it.

[sandcobra164]

170,000 miles, stock 1.8L, original clutch, driven hard.......92 horsepower increases reliablilty. Time to check the gas and add some oil though. 1 quart of 20W50 every 1000 miles thanks to front seal, oil pan, head gasket it seems, valve covers tight and dry though. Still smoking newer ricers!!!!(none of the turbo ones though)

[Asmodeus]

108K
got it 4 years ago w/ 64K
Burns an exxon tanker a week.
Being replaced VERY VERY soon.
Still runs like a whipped whore. :D

[whitepony]

87k on 96 rs major thing that was done was tranny, got it replaced at 70k

[96gsxguy]

My 96 GSX bought on December 22, 2004 with approximately 134k miles on her today approximately 135kmiles. I think the car runs a little slower then she should, perhaps a boost leak or something?

::edit:: Just noticed I posted under non turbo..sorry.

[lgottler]

215,715 miles '92 2.0...original lower and 2nd head rebuild (used this site first time over the weekend to help me put it back together).
Doesn't burn oil, it leaks it...somewhere!?

[Rob13288]

:) I Win I Got A 95 Eclipse With 53,000 Miles On It. What A Steal

[1994talon]

i bought my 1994 Eagle Talon ES 11 years ago (May 15, 94).I forgot to wish it a happy birthday so she decided to get even with me. She's started by tossin me out of 2nd gear and giving me a shimmy in 2nd when i start out and now she shimmy's in every gear and louder than can be when i am on the gas.I think the transmission is starting to let go.(thats what i get for checking the fluid after 11 years) I have a hair under 168,000 on it now ans everything is pretty much stock as the day i bought it. Original Engine,trans,clutch(well not for long i think with the tranny and clutch). She has been great.I even got 90,000 out of the first timing belt(missing 3 teeth) and my 2nd was missing 7 when it was replaced, I wonder how many i have gone now? Knock on wood! Hope to have the tranny rebuilt or clutch replaced ot whatever is making that racket(something up there) and drive it for another 11 years! Knock on wood again!

[sandcobra164]

Only made it 2,500 more miles since my last post before rebuilding time. (To be fair, I was in Iraq when I posted that) 187,000 miles now, rebuilt and modded 1.8L, new clutch, rebuilt trans, new axles, struts and alot more stuff. Still smoking ricers and occasionally pulling away as I hear a turbo spool. Surprisingly, all on the original ECM!!! How long do these things last???

Bought it with 101,000 in 2001, put a JDM motor in at 200,000 miles (the "new motor" thus has over, estimated 150,000 miles) on the second set of KYB AGX shocks, third clutch (ACT 2600) and second repaint(to factory 'quartz' color) Running 17" 245x45 all around, big noisy and lovely exhaust and fast and god this car is fun to drive, especially sideways!

[streetracer420A]

I just bought my car last Dec and it had 87k miles on it. It now has 93k with more than a few of them being Autox miles. I was just reading some of the 4G63 guys boasting of the durability of their motors. Let's hear all your motor and tranny stories which should be different for the 420A.
My Talon was built in Oct 94 according to the DSM sticker on the door. I believe that this car was probably in a pretty good accident at one time. But it doesn't really rattle hardly at all. Even though there seems to be pieces missing everywhere! The engine runs real strong, I have an HKS Cat and K&N drop in, stock shocks (Original soon to be replaced) and springs. It's has a leaky Headcover gasket (very small leak), and I think that the valve seals are getting weak. When I drive the car hard as in autox it sometimes blows blue smoke out the tail pipe. This often occurs after some real hard turning and accelerating during autocross. Never on the street does it ever smoke even when I have it at WOT. Other than that I have no complaints and I love my NT and my insurance premiums! :D

So what year and how many miles are on your NT?



1996 eclipse rs 420a.

New motor and tranny around 150 xxx miles plus new motor mounts and tranny mounts.

[Spleen]

Mines gonna roll to 125,000 probably early tommorow morning on the way home from Columbus. The day I put plates on the car and really drove it for the first time it rolled to 100,000 within the first 3 minutes of me driving it. In the last 25,000 miles its been one of the most reliable cars i've ever seen, its only needed regular maintenence. Yeah the 420A may not be quick in its stock form....but deffinatley reliable.

[Ambico]

242000 miles on 1998 RS :)

Does not smoke, burn oil, etc. etc.

Does not even feel tired either :)

Now it does have minor issues, like I still need to put motor mounts in, and some other small little things, But mechanically its very sound. I drive it hard too :)

[jordan080303]

242,000 on a '98 is impressive. That's a whopping 24,000 a year. Here's to a another 100,000.

[teklein]

I know it will go farther, the motor is just not tired at all! Of course I keep up the maintenance more than a "regular" car (i.e. oil change every 2500 with Mobil 1, plugs every 7500 miles, etc.)

Cant wait for it to hit 250,000! Im throwing a party :)

It will happen soon though, I have put 5k on it in the last two months :)

[Talon_Fan]

Talon N/a... 192,000
Talon TSi... 84,000... after being fully rebuilt.... 1,200 :)
GSX..... 163,000

[jordan080303]

I have seen plenty of local DSMs reach well over 300,000. Keep up on the maintenance as you stated, and you'll be running for a while. Good luck!

[2geclipselove]

1995 RS 187,000 runs like new. About ready to turbo it.

Nice! With mine having 242k, I am building a block just in case. I have a cryo treated block out of my old Neon ACR that will receive a mild all motor build for when the day comes :)

I also have a spare motor just waiting if the day comes :) It will be built to handle bigger boost when/if my motor goes south on me.
