246k on the '96 Dodge CTD

speedo/odo stopped at ~205k on my MJ.

1/20/2010 1:18:00 PM

Driving the Integra up to Maryland and back this weekend. I fully expect to top 280,000 miles.

Engine doesn't burn any oil, but a leak around the oil pan drain plug is getting worse. I think I need to replace the oil pan

1/20/2010 1:52:38 PM

241k on my 4runner

although the timing chain broke at 230k

so it should be 11k on a fresh bottom and top end

1/20/2010 1:56:35 PM

^^

Put some hondabond rtv around the washer, good as new!

1/20/2010 2:58:04 PM

I also have a leak around the pan. You have to drop the suspension to fix it, and that aint cheap, so I just top it off every 4 refills.

1/20/2010 3:27:21 PM

^^well it also has a dent or two, lol. I fear to think about potential oil starvation at constant high rpms

1/20/2010 3:41:08 PM

I've seen under your car.......and I've seen the unfortunate header who took the majority of the dents.

You should snap a photo of that header and post it! It's hard to get me to go "uh..WOW dude..." when looking at old honduhs.

1/20/2010 7:19:11 PM

Will do Quinn.

While we're on the topic, I was going about 30-35mph on St. Mary's night and crossed Morgan. Apparently there's a huge road hump there. My front subframe nailed the road when it encountered the hump, and then again when it was over the hump.

There needs to be a fucking sign there

1/20/2010 8:23:16 PM

Na, just keep driving back and forth. You'll eventually level it out for us the rest of us

If someone wants to come out and video tape the sparks flying from my car, feel free

High mileage ITT.

Think the most I've ever had was 174k on my '79 Malibu. Which is where it still sits though it hasn't run under its own power since 2001. Even at that, the transmission had been rebuilt and it'd had a valve job done. Theoretically if I were to replace the timing chain and put a carb back on it (plus do all the little stuff one has to do after a car has sat that long) it would run again, but it's not worth putting that much work into a 267. Car will probably have a different engine when I ever get it back on the road.

Highest anything in the family has gone was ~190K on a '91 Accord when it was wrecked. Transmission had been rebuilt but AFAIK the only non-maintenance repair to the engine was to replace the intake manifold.

1/21/2010 12:11:03 AM

The 944 had about 175k on the engine before it got yanked. The main bearings had some play in it, o-rings were worn, and then the oil pump was showing early signs of failure. Chassis has about 190k on it now, with about 17k-18k on the new engine. It's gone through 1 transmission, which I'll admit I pushed pretty hard (r&p failure from age and many drifting sessions, as well as who knows what else from the 4 previous owners).

I'm hoping the mx3 will see 200k before either it dies or the car is sold. 168k ATM IIRC.

The lexus has a long way to go. Just under 14k miles now.

1985 Volvo 240 wagon with 221,000
1989 Acura Integra 249,000
1980 Honda Prelude 277,000

1/21/2010 2:09:23 AM

I just checked my mileage book in the Integra. Apparently I haven't changed the oil in that car since August...




...2008 Only been 9,000 miles but I think she might be due

1/21/2010 12:55:11 PM

92 240sx - 245k.. motor swapped at 240k
2002 e350 7.3 - 225k
2002 focus wagon - 220k and still going every day
my e30 track car (86 325e) had 260k on it when the odo stopped (before i owned it), but it blew up about 14 hrs into the 24hrs of lemons....

1/21/2010 5:45:15 PM

^^ Just let it leak from the oil pan and fill as necessary. It's like the car changes the oil itself!

1/21/2010 7:44:11 PM

Oh it does leak from there...in the time that's gone by I've put around 3 quarts in.

1/21/2010 9:42:40 PM

I am not just over 268k on the Ranger! Finally ran out another set of tires. Got 60k+ miles off a 40k mile set of Uniroyals.

1/21/2010 10:00:59 PM

just clicked 225k in the e36.

1/22/2010 2:42:17 AM

Oh, lexus had 13,200 exactly when I left for work today... I remember when it has just 32 miles on it... oh how time flies... I can't wait until I'm all grown up and it's got over a quarter million miles :grin:

1/22/2010 4:55:49 AM

get out of here with that shit, this thread is for high mileage cars only!

1/22/2010 9:11:40 AM

'98 Toyota Tacoma - 247,000 miles

Would be higher if not for the 16,000 miles I put on my '08 Gixxer 600 within the last year.

1/22/2010 1:33:25 PM

^^^my ram had 3 miles on it when i test drove it. about 8 when i rolled out of the dealer's lot.

Haha, this thread jinxed that fucker. Engine kicked the bucket at 226k at the McDonald's drive thru in Cameron village. Right after I ordered my breakfast

1/23/2010 10:43:17 PM

i've got ~217k on my 93' G20. still going strong minus a few leaks.

the day i passed 200k...

1/24/2010 12:13:04 AM

I would estimate my Jeep was at about 230k when I finally sold it, the odometer had been broken for at least seven years.

1/24/2010 10:44:28 AM

This makes me wonder...should I have the valves adjusted on the Integra? I've never had it done while owning the car

1/24/2010 7:31:29 PM

Why start now? If you want, I can do pretty good work there. Adjusted many Honda valves in my sleep damn near.

1/24/2010 8:25:01 PM

my crapstang has like 220k on it (odo only goes up to 99999.9 so it has rolled over at least twice). The engine was rebuilt like 5 or 6 years ago.

1/24/2010 8:55:49 PM

pat i have a nice honda valve adjustment tool you can borrow if you want to do it.

the tool for the 92 civic fits the s2k as well >.<

1/24/2010 10:56:54 PM

^good deal man. I'm going to Snowshoe this weekend, but I'll get up with you about that after this trip.

1/25/2010 9:29:32 AM

96 Dodge CTD now has 252K on it - the 78 PowerWagon it replaced has 280K (at 10 mpg = not on road now).

My 74 Scout that I need to put back together had 260K when the tip of the oil dipstick broke off and managed to groove a rod journal. I really need to get it back together and have some fun with it.

Heck, my brothers 94 Honda has 262K.

When you are a) cheap, b) married, and c) have a house (or two) the need to drive something until it stops moving on its own power becomes ingrained.

That said, sometimes I wish I had not sold my Porsche Cabriolet to get the downpayment on the other house. I reckon I will have to settle for one day getting my 69 442 convertible back on the road - if I live that long/wife dies and leaves me insurance money/or she runs off with somebody and doesn't ask for alimony. Might as well wish for a pony.

cool story bro

1/28/2010 4:24:07 PM

i read it twice

1/29/2010 12:10:52 AM

Deja vu.

Seriously though married + kids and you got a ready supply of tools and space to work on a car means you cheap out and run that bitch till the wheels are going to fall off. My wife is not a big fan of her 97 LeSabre with 158k+ miles on it, and it shredded the serpentine belt in the front yard last week (transverse mounted motor = teh suck) but we both HATE the thought of a car payment that could be more than our house payment. I just put a new set of 50k mile tires on the pickup, so I should have no problem making it to 300k and I'll definitely take a picture of that. If I get really fucking nuts, I would love to try and push this thing to 500k. We'll see.

1/29/2010 12:30:00 AM

the 92 maxima hit 200k around the time it was destroyed in a hail storm and eventually sold.
Right at 200k on the 97 328i.
And just traded in the A4 1.8T last week with 225k.

wow, some dealer actually let you trade it in?

1/30/2010 12:31:54 PM

yeah. and technically I traded it in to the person who was the previous owner

1/30/2010 2:23:11 PM

2001 f350 just ticked over weds, I should buy it a cake I suppose.
