So I call BS too.

Really, I have heard of at least 4 people with over 140K

I know the 300k one was hard to believe, but the service guy at a Mazda dealer in louisville said the other day that they had one come in with 300k on the ticker. Original owner and he said original miles. It was a llittle old lady story I think...I would have to see it to believe it though....still

hey I didn't know FD's had a 100k mile warranty,
or was that something extra you purchased?
either way, that sounds like a lifesaver for a car like the FD..
dang, engine, turbo AND tranny all went out before 100..
thats gnarly..

So, basically, the understanding is, is that unless you don't treat the Rx7 as a sports car and actually *drive* it, you'll see 60-75k average. Wow, new news! :P
Cryo-Freezing sounds like a good option for those looking to rebuild with perhaps a new strength...eh..?
