Broke 20k miles :(

[Matthew]

Well, its been just a month or two shy of 2 years that ive had the p5, and i hit 20k on my way to monterey.

i know there are a lot of people with a lot more miles, but i hate turning over every 10k miles :(

[SpicyMchaggis]

You JUST hit 20? wow...I'm at 40 on the body, 3k on the new bottom end 600 miles on the new head!

[Matthew]

of course youve rebuilt more dx sedans than mazda

[SpicyMchaggis]

hahah oooooo burn!! sigh..

[Matthew]

sorry to bring up the pain, lol

[SpicyMchaggis]

ah it's alright..at this point..I could of bought two turbo kits, a limited slip, had it installed by ghandi, AND bought a tank of gas and tic tacs.

[Matthew]

yea i bet. damn that sucks. still riding on stock wheels too?

[SpicyMchaggis]

well, haha..The DX comes with steelies. I put the 2003 LX enkei's on a while back..15's..but they are ballin mang! 15's with falken's on them..Sidewall is straight up rally style sans the rally..and style..but hey! It gets the job done and keeps it off the radar..

[Matthew]

yea, you just crack me up. you are "that" guy that just refuses to give up on his car, and its funny yet admirable at the same time. i friend like that with his eclipse.

[SpicyMchaggis]

well..thankfully, its not an eclipse! haha..Lucky for me, its a car that no one ever notices, even the ricers. That leaves me to take off the oil cap and dump horrendus amounts of money in without fear of insult and mockery. Well, at least not locally. Damn forums..

[Matthew]

(rlaugh)

<-- ^ continuing to post whore this thread

[kgo]

[ELEmental59437]

[Glowspeedp5]

I am not a DREAMER. I AM AN N/A HOPEFUL. YOU ARE THE DREAMER

[Glowspeedp5]

b.s!!! keep dreaming....

Okay if you run 13 seconds give me 1 and one half cars lengths and I will tie you in the quarter mile. And on the highway you are mine.

[Matthew]

get out of my thread with your silliness.

[Glowspeedp5]

get out of my thread with your silliness.

I do really run 15.2@99mph I am in the process of moving packing up. I will post a picture of the slip in a couple weeks.

It is all about the ECU. I have Intake, Header, midpipe, Intake CAM from Sunbelt racing. AKA JIM who builds the Protege Speed cars. ECU has been reflashed about 6 or 7 different times. Well I along with another buddy is making flash software for Mazdas and Fords. So far it is kinda working. Works well with RX8 and Mazda6. Protege is just a bitch ECU from a ford ranger.

[Matthew]

no im just saying this is a thread about milage not a pissing contest about timeslips. i believe you about the 15.2 and also dont really care. no offense.

[Glowspeedp5]

no im just saying this is a thread about milage not a pissing contest about timeslips. i believe you about the 15.2 and also dont really care. no offense.

No problem Matthew
Sorry to ask your motor go boom on you.

[Stealth5]

[Matthew]

[Wwing49]

I own you all!!!! Bought in Feb with 8000 miles on it, now its got 23500! 15500 miles in 9 months!!!!

[Matthew]

[jrodhotrod]

I had 20,000 on my MSP in 10 months... It will be around 30,000 soon, but I have been driving it very in-frequently since July.

[Iggy]

I got you all beat, i may not have the most miles, but one the one year aniversary of having my car, I also hit the 12k mark. 1,000 miles per month...HOORAY FOR CONSISTENCY!

[Matthew]

[bazooka joe]

where the heck are driving that many miles in 10 months????

[Glowspeedp5]

Talking with Twilight and builging an all motor escort gt with a BP motor I know how to work on mazdas. Another slick trick is decking the head. I am looking at this process. I am trying to get the blueprint of a 2.0 fs block. Since it is retired I should be able to get them. Also talking with Jim with Sunbelt

[Matthew]

where the heck are driving that many miles in 10 months????
sounds like me when i was a computer tech on the road. i put about 3-4k miles on my sunfire a month.

[Mad Hatter]

My turn. I'll have had my car for 1 year next Friday. I bought it with 32k on it. Right now I'm at 62K. 100mi. a day commute.

[SuperWagon502]

[Mad Hatter]

90K, What have you replaced?

[SuperWagon502]

90K, What have you replaced?Clutch and Brakes. Tahnks to the person who had it before me and buying Ceramic brake pads...... NO DUST EVAR!!! HAR HAR. (headbang)

Oh yeah and my 3rd/4th gear shift forks. They finally gave out at the track.
Other than that... nuthin bad. And I gotta tell you guys. I got lazy and stupid and didnt change my oil for 45,000 miles!!! Never broke a thing. Open the valve covers and took apart the motor Just in case there were problems but guess what? Nuthin at all. I was totally suprised that the old oil hadn't formed chunks in there. But i did clean my cylinder heads. Mean green is the shit

[kgo]

damn....45k miles without an oil change. that and u race it. hard to believe nothing got damaged, but *knock on wood*

[SuperWagon502]

Give it up for the SuperWagon !!!!

[Mike R]

LOL, 15 months, 55K on mine. 25K on second motor. 3 airbag problems, 1 A/C issue, 3 windshields, front and rear brake pads have been replaced...

[imjustagirl]

where the heck are driving that many miles in 10 months????


When I first got it, I lived 50 miles away from my work so we are talking 100 miles a day round trip, 6 days a week. I moved closer so now I'm going only 44 miles round trip. Also, my now ex-boyfriend was stationed in NC at Camp Lejune, so there was another 700+ every weekend. Throw in a couple trips to South Carolina, Indiana, Philly, etc theres the miles. (spin)

[TRexPro5]

Bought mine Sept 9th 2001. Signed the Loan papers @ 8am Sept 11th 2001. Car just rolled over 67000 miles. I have replaced pads on all four rotors, in the process of replacing all 4 rotors as well as stainless steel lines, working on getting the radiator flushed with a 60/40 mix of Rad fluid and water, two sets of stock tires (thanks MikeR ;)), Tranny fluid, and 2-3 sets of spark plugs.

Are we suppose to replace belts at 60k?! I was unarware of that.

[TurboTodd]

2 1/2 years (purchased new May 02) and she's on the verge of 98,000 miles. Semi-regular oil changes, original clutch, brakes, etc. Only thing replaced has been tires, on our third set (including original Duncraps).

Todd

[Replica]

I've put about 55k on my car in about 10 months. Brakes are doing shitty, about to be on my 3r set of tires. Nothing else bad.

[N2OInferno]

i'm a bit over 16k now.. like 16.2 or something.. probably will be sold around 20k.. oh well

[mazpro]

bought it new on december 2000 and has a little over 67,000 mies. not bad.

[Mike R]

58K this week!

[Replica]

58K this week!Damn! You must change your oil like every few hours. Do you have a pit crew?

[KpaBap]

that's nothing, I had 36k miles on my Protege in a year and I am breaking 80k miles on the Miata which would put me at 39k miles in a year and 2 months

nothing I say, I have all of you beat a couple times over

[toucci]

10,800 in 21 months (rockon)

[Replica]

that's nothing, I had 36k miles on my Protege in a year and I am breaking 80k miles on the Miata which would put me at 39k miles in a year and 2 months

nothing I say, I have all of you beat a couple times over45,000 miles in less than a year = I own at high mileage!(dark)

[Pretzellogic]

I will make it to 40 grand soon, if I can get my fucking car to start.

[NJP5Guy]

I've got over 19500mi and had the car for just over 18 months.

[Mike R]

LOL... My car is 16 months old, and has 58K. I've been driving 150-200 miles less a week for like 4 months...

Haven't hit the board in a while..

The trusty 02.5 broke 100,000 miles a couple of weeks ago.. Sitting at 102K currently..

Think brakes and clutch need attention, but no real signs of issues yet.

Todd

[Captain KRM P5]

52,000 miles here

[imjustagirl]

Well, broke 40k this past weekend down in Norfolk/VA Beach. Now shit is starting to break :( My AC belt seized up the other day and that was interesting. But, I'm looking into trading it for a 05 Dodge Magnum Hemi as soon as I get it back from the body shop (again, thanks FedEx, you rock me hard)

[N2OInferno]

i'm a bit over 17k now

[iLisa]

i'm almost at 27k..

[Mike R]

See sig, add 820 miles

[centsless]

6 months and i put 20,000 miles

[SciFiMan]

It depresses me to, on such a great car. I'm a month shy of 2 years yesterday and sometime on the drive home today I'll break 50K. So sad.

[iLisa]

ever notice that 5 owners drive their cars like crazy because we actually ENJOY them.. not like most of the MSP owners?? :D

[MSPRO]

hey now girly lol ..my car is 15 months old and has 56k on it lol :) I enjoy the living daylight out of my car. Even though it has been broken a few times I still love driving it.

[N2OInferno]

mine would have a ton more miles but i lost my license for a year, so yeah.. that's why i don't have too many.

[cbcbd]

Just went over 80K
I have to do a WD-40 play date with it soon

[bazooka joe]

hey now girly lol ..my car is 15 months old and has 56k on it lol :) I enjoy the living daylight out of my car. Even though it has been broken a few times I still love driving it.

56K, wow! mines 3 years old+ and i just turned 70K. do you have a long commute or something?

[Protege52003]

73,000 right now , i drive the hell out of this car

astral is getting close to 80k and his car is only 21 months old.

i just turned 41k and my car is 2 yrs old

[Shane-O]

I'll probably hit 21K by the end of this month. I've owned it for a year and a half now. Not too bad, but like what it says under my pic, Stuck for life. Just saw my payoff the other day, I thought I was a lot worse but at $15.5, it's manageable if I where to sell at 12 or 13k, I would take the hit for an Evo.

[cbcbd]

Xerlderx will own this thread soon with his 100K+

Can't wait until June.. Trip from Texas to Indy for the USGP and Ohio for the Cleveland Grand Prix... should have over 110K by then..

Todd

[bonesmp5]

just passed 30K woot :)

WOO-HOO.... 41,275k now. Shit, I put well over a thousand miles on this thing in the past week or so. I really have no idea where I go... LOL, someone else drives this thing at night when I'm asleep I swear. (scratch) It goes into the body shop (fuck you fedex) beginning of next week. Then it'll be all purty again......

[Astral]

Bought car May 2003, 76.6K on the clock right now.


73,000 right now , i drive the hell out of this car

[Skurge]

02 has 30K and my 03 has 39K what can i say i drive a lot

[xelderx]

Xerlderx will own this thread soon with his 100K+

100,700 right now, but she hasn't been driven too much lately. She's currently in the garage getting prepped for this years AutoX season.

[xelderx]

Can't wait until June.. Trip from Texas to Indy for the USGP and Ohio for the Cleveland Grand Prix... should have over 110K by then..

Todd

Uh oh...I have a challenger. I better get my car running again. When she comes out of the garage now she usually goes straight to the mountains for some testing and then gets put right back up for more adjustments and mods. I actually do work on this thing now more than I drive it, but it's not because it breaks...well...at least it isn't the cars fault most of the time.

[LinuxRacr]

When yall get to 130,000 miles, let me know. We can hang out.

[smp3000]

lol you're crazy pat! ahaha jeasus! I had 35K on my MP3 when I sold it, and I currently have 5,500 on my evo and have had it since October... My GF lives FARRRRR!!

[Matthew]

im about to break 24k this week sometime, about 1 3/4 months from the start of this thread

[Moeed]

When yall get to 130,000 miles, let me know. We can hang out.

On which engine ? (bike)

[xelderx]

When yall get to 130,000 miles, let me know. We can hang out.

and you had a whole extra year to get there. (sssh)

[mjo79]

alright, alright, here goes:

'02 P5 - 190,500 MILES(not kilos)

thank you, goodnight.





on a side note, has to be the most reliable car I have ever owned. major fixes were AC (pump fried at 80k), timing belt (at 175k - knock on wood), cooling flush, valve cover gasket, oil pan & gasket (rocks hurt), rims (more rocks). I've gone 45k without oil change too - I'm lazy as hell. now I gotta figure out this pinging.....

[NJP5Guy]

I've gone 45k without oil change too - I'm lazy as hell. now I gotta figure out this pinging.....

you cant be serious....hmmm i wonder why there is pinging.... (dunno)

[mjo79]

you cant be serious....hmmm i wonder why there is pinging....

yeah.........you know if I make it to the end of my payments before it blows up I'm a happy dude.

[iLisa]

yeah.........you know if I make it to the end of my payments before it blows up I'm a happy dude.
why not just go and get an oil change?
(shrug)

[+ friction]

You made it to 175 grand w/out a timing belt change?

[TurboTodd]

Bringing this post back to life..

My USGP trip managed to tack another 3900 miles on the car in 12 days..

Rolled over 121,000 miles as we rolled into July. Still original everything, with the exception of oil, air & oil filters, sparkplugs, and tires.

[iLisa]
