subynut Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 I got 209,000 miles out of my EA82 before it gave up. It was smoking like there was no tomarrow and slow as malases. But it got me to and from work, till I lost the gear on the cam that drives the ditsy. Ground it quite nicly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markman34 Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 I drove my old 88 SPFI 4WD wagon till the body fell off at just over 400k. Then, I pulled the motor and put it into the new roo with a good body. Still runs with no burning oil. Stunning ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hondasucks Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 343,000 -- 84 DL wagon 319,000 -- Jessica's car (not original heads) 260,000 -- my old hatchback (first subie) I still have the engine, still has 175 psi in all 4 cylinders, and runs like a champ! but the most mileage I've ever heard of: TAlked to a guy who knew of another guy who worked for an RV manufacturer, adn he had a 93 Doge Ram 350 that he used to haul trailers around the country with, and at 1,030,000 miles his odometer broke! (This was a Cummins Turbo Diesel with a manual tranny) Read an article in AutoWeek about a guy who bought a 54 Packard off the lot in 53, and he still has it, has 540,000 on the car, transmission is due for its third rebuild but the motor has never been touched aside from replacing the aluminum head with a cast iron head after a few months when the original one warped (Common problem with the straight eight) Saw last night on Rides a 1930 something Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud (I think it was a silver cloud.. Silver something lol) that was ALL ORIGNAL, and it was the first one made.. Insured by R-R for 40,000,000 bucks, and it had over 500,000 miles on it and it had NEVER BEEN OPENED UP! had nothing done but maintenance!

Those over the road trucks see that kind of mileage regularly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brat82 Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 My 82 brat, 246,000 on engine, that is still getting 32 mpg, with all my rafting gear. I got it with blown tranny,(stripped out 2nd-3rd shifter hub and sleeve), replaced with a man. d/r 4spd. out of 84 wagon...got the tranny cleaned off and written in jy yellow, was 81 SUB!!! This tranny just WENT OUT, because the clutch link cable housing, decided to break just as I was shifting, and broke mid shift so I ground a bunch and seemed to burr up second and 1st so I couldn't get into, even AFTER I replaced cable with new one. So while I got the tranny out, I'm also changing out rear seals, pan gasket, and rebuild oil pump, etc...to try and stop the leaks. Really like these cars...
