Highest Mileage

what is the highest vr4 mileage u seen or u have thats still is in good working condition or in other word how long dose a vr4 last???

i beleive one of yogs vr4's was at 210 or something. i'm at 160

is everything ok with your car and what was the biggest or most expensive thing that happen to ur car since you went to real high mileage?

ummm...... the synchro's, $700

now i need some struts, and that will be all

I dont own a 3000, i own a stealth and my car is at 170,867. (For some reason i checked it today) I've had to replace a few things so far..
New Clutch ($1,500)
New Starter ($350)
Two Front Axels ($700)
New Flywheel ($200)
New Brakes ($600)

That's what i replaced since I had owned the car.. not even a year ago. Kinda taking me through a lot of money.. but my baby is worth it. Expence is nothing if you have the dedication that most of us have. A few other problems not to big is where I had a wiring problem.. with my right headlight. Other then that.. the previous owner kept all of her reciepts for her, and the only thing that she did other than the basic oil changes and tunups was that she replaced all of the sparks plugs and all the connectors n shit in her. So i guess when I got her i got all of the main problems. Oh well though, because now she is running perfect.. (knock on wood)

thats an expensive clutch

I know.. now that i think about it i had a tunup, oil change, and a tire roation done.. and i think the flywheel was included in with that.. so.. it wasnt exactly that much.

Was that a performance clutch, and if so what kind?

I don't have a vr-4,just an SL. I've got 118k miles on mine and I have a freakin lifter tick. Any idea or suggestions on getting rid of that?

look in the faq they talk about lifter tic

thanks, will do

152k on mine, I have lifter tick, and the 2nd synchro gone with a new freaking transmission. Other than that, cruise stopped working, Active Aero cut out, things like that. Great car, but the headaches. :disappoin

i have a friend GTOTWINTURBO on the florida3s forums that was pushing 400
and another with a first gen SL at 288
NO BULL

Well my SL has 140,000 do i get a cookie?

I have 96k :) but test drove an R/T with 163k but heard that the engine went out soon after a guy bought it.

The 6g72 engine is a very strong block aluminum heads and such, it is kinda like the supra it can handle up to 5-600 hp before any major internals need to be changed.

I thought the 99' Lifters were supposed to not tick??????

My 93 SL has 172,000 miles on it. I bought it 6k miles ago. As soon as I bought it I had to replace my rotors, brakes, radiator, 60k mile service w/ water pump, clutch, spark plugs, wires, and flywheel. It's been running strong ever since and is very reliable. It has no lifter tick at all and pulls reallly strong and shifts great. This is what I used to fix my lifter tick and make the tranny shift better:

Its called xado.

My boyfriends got a 95 SL and hes got 118,000 on it and he need to replace the front end of his exhuast soon.... anyone know if you have to go with the cali emmisions pipes or if you can just get it standard (we dont live in cali but still i think there could be a possiblility that he has to get them)

Ha, i might have you all beat.. 174,000. Not something to be proud of either.

my 92 vr-4 has 201,893 miles. That was the last miles put on it before i spun a bearing whilr racing.

ya, gotta be careful with those pre-93.5 3/S as they only had a 2-bolt main bearing cap girdle. from 93.5 on Mitsu upgraded to the 4-bolt main. much more reliable, if ya ask me. but i guess it all depends on how you take care of your car.

oh, and my 93 base 3000 only has 69k :iceslolan
