Only "major" item to have packed up was an alternator, 3 times in fact, but the last 2 were second hand and climate control unit, repaired by Kaz.
Track days, at least 6
I've only ever driven it spiritedly since ownership 17 years ago.
Now thats what I call reliable, I think:)
How about yours then markeyb???
98 NA2 Pre Targa 144k miles - perfect compression across all 6 cylinders
I think there is someone in Europe who is near on 500k kilometres
I know "Hugh", over at Prime had 325,000 back in Feb of this year.
Cheers

Mine is now on 138,100
Second clutch and Kaz engine refresh end of 2013.
We should start a 'Mileage High Club' :)
156k. Original box, engine and clutch. Refresh by Kaz last year at 149k
Great to hear! On the contrary, i bought a car with just over 100k miles and a valve had gone; a reminder that you still have to keep an eye on things.
However, the worst car i've seen is a very low mileage one at JDR. The crank had broken where it had simply been started up and warmed up in the garage over a number of years. A very expensive fix which probably outweighed the appreciated value (and the fact the owner barely got to drive it).
Wow. Important to drive them often I think. Revving hard while not under load is also bad I think, alot of people with low mileage garage queens are guilty of this!
Important to warm up properly, rev match and do regualar oil changes I think!
What a bloody waste of a good car.Quote:

First post on NSXCB for some time to make me laugh out loud, thank you for that Simon!!!!Quote:
