Mine is at 209k miles, but it spent almost 2 years as my DD without a speedo cable. Probably closer to 260-270k.
I do 100 miles a day round trip to work.

thats crazy. I bet most of those junk MX3´s only need distys or the mechanic told them the timing belt snapped and the engine was no good (both easy fixes)

Starscream(Ryan's and my project car) has just under 200,000 miles, original K8 as far as I know.
Tracy has 179K original, and is leak free except for the stupid valvecover gasket.

Mine's at approx 205,000 miles. Original engine. I'll have to do some math to get an exact number for the mileage, but its around that.
I don't drive far so it takes a while to build up.
Old GS died at 228,171 Kilometers. ~141,779 Miles.
Old RS died at 126,790 Miles.

I'd say that's a MINIMUM of 1 rebuild in the car's lifetime, if it's the stock engine.

It was really rough and rotten but yeah had a lot of kilometers must have been a travailing salesman car or something.

You guys are mixing up Kilometer and Miles so when you say 500,000km or 600,000km it's only 310,000 or 372,000 miles...
I'm at like 320,000 miles on the chassis about 200,000 miles on the klze in my daily driver, still driving every day and was racing almost every weekend up until about 2 weeks ago
I may have the highest documented mileage on a currently daily driven mx-3...
