So I know there has been discussions and other posts in the past about mileage and many people have very high mileage on the body of their car but are already on the 2nd, 3rd or 4th engine.

What I'm curious about is discovering who here has the highest mileage p10 or p11 still going strong on the original engine that you have not rebuilt in any way (no head replaced, no internals replaced other than perhaps a cam change in other words)


Steve (dragoneye) who now owns our former AZ 99 p11 Auto has 227k miles on it and the engine is still amazingly strong, quiet and solid. I'm sure others have gone well past that so I'd like to hear from you!

Post it up!!!

i think dane is near 300k.

 

[p10der]

Pearl was nearly 300,000.. This one has 213,000

240,000ish on the lowport that I removed from my 95 P10 when I swapped in the VE. Good compression, doesn't burn a drop of oil and no noise from the valvetrain. Still have it sitting in the garage at my mom's house.

My white car is at 312k but I think the motor has been freshened up. I need to get the old cluster from the green car out if storage to confirm actual mileage but I believe it is up around 300 original engine and trans.

 

[tgxlayzie]

207k looks like i have time to go b4 she blow

 

[Chris]

so who is near 350k or 400k.. any takers?

 

[p10det]

My daily has just under 200k and IM boosting it daily and it still runs like a top. It burns about a 1/4 qt of oil every full up. IM pondering the idea of putting new rings in lapping the valves and new valve seals to get it sealing k
100% inside and out

 

[KevinH1996]

I have a low mileage 1996 - 170,000.

my 01 original motor has mid 250s .

 

[krazyblunts]

how much miles can the body take? idk if thats a weird question. my car currently has 166k if i swap to a det later on with over 200k on the chassis is it worth it?

 

[p10det]

That is a weird question and mileage has no bearing on the chassis. Chassis lasting depends on the Wethers one drives it in and how well one maintains it. If their is rust forming and you keep up with it getting properly repaired the chassis could possibly out last a human

 

[Chris]

^ what he said.

Our p10 race car has 220k on the chassis but is on it's 3rd engine w/118k mile, has no rust and should be good to go for many many years!

 

[krazyblunts]

thats good to hear, thanks for the info

 

[Kidcaffeine]

my 99 org. engine and auto trans. 220k. maintained and not beat on. i did the head gasket cause i thought it needed it cause i was getting a thick cloud of white smoke. turned out just being the muffler issue. but she is still running strong.

 

[ENO]

my p10 has 250,xxx on it... orig motor & will be boosted soon.

do i win? (since dane mentioned his was "Refresehd:

 

[Chris]

I'm still hoping to hear from someone who has 300k+ on the original untouched engine from somewhere!!!!

 

[Snickers]

288,000 on my 91, but it went out because i didnt reset the distributor when i resealed all that and the exhaust valves went buh-bye... otherwise it would have 306,000


i still say dane on his DJ2

 

[P10 WRC]

225000 on my 02 Sport. bought the car with 70K miles on it. I did the clutch at 140K because of track abuse (damn spring popped out). Rear main seal, valve cover gasket, and power steering hose are pretty much the only issues

 

[Greenless]

i have 248k on my p10, but its on its 3rd engine that i know of. the original engine made it past 200k from what i was toldby the previous owner if that is to be believed. the det must have been beat on pretty bad to spin a bearing in less that 30k.

i only posted to say that mileage does matter on a chassis, i had to replace most of the rubber bushings and suspesion bits because they were all worn from the mileage on the car.
