Glad to see we have a few people near or over 100k.


Im @ 60k without any problems.

41k

Been modded since ~2k and ATR tuned to max the stock snail since 26k.

I'm at 38K on the original Re050's and they have at least 15K left.

I do a lot of highway driving and almost never floor it until higher speeds so that helps. I also never accelerate to red lights and then jam the brakes either, that eats your tires too. I always just coast and scrub off speed slowly downshifting. Sure the people behind me hate it but fuck em.

The stock tires can last a long time if you drive a certain way.

My stock tires were a serious safety liability on wet roads by 28k...

56k miles on my 2007 Speed3. Fully bolted and 19psi since 5,000 miles. No issues at all. Still runs strong.

I'm at nearly 56k, bought the car about 10 months ago (early Sept. '09) with 44796 miles. Car was perfect when I bought it, but developed some smoke after it started getting cold here in MI (bought it in Houston and drove it cross-country). Fitted the PTP pill and switched to 5W-40 Full Synthetic and now it doesn't smoke at all. Runs like a top too, except for a faulty driver's-side door sensor which works when it decides it wants to.

Bought new tires in November, as the old ones were down to 2/32 of tread. I've still got between 8/32 and 9/32 remaining on all of them, and they started with 11/32 new. At that rate, I'm looking at around 39,600miles for this set of tires if I keep using them the way I have been. Amazingly I've got no uneven wear despite the OEM rear camber on the MS6.

2007 MS3 with 60K. Original owner.
LF strut replaced at 25K
Smoking turbo replaced at 26K
MSCAI installed at 43K
VVT Actuator replaced at 46K
Tires replaced at 25K and 53K
Front pads/rotors replaced at 59K
Getting ready to fit Bilstein HDs and a Hypertech re-flash.

08.5 just turned 13k last weekend.
dp/intake/inlet/hpfp installed for 3k miles now, the rest more recently.

08, 91k miles, still runs quite well! EGR light has been off/on for the last, oh, 20k miles or so, not too heavily modded but enough to make me smile sometimes still - racepipe, 2 resonators removed from stock exhaust, Cobb SRI, PG inlet, RX8 wheels w/ 235/4018 rubber (which I coaxed to last about 65k miles

Ehh, that's about it as far as mods that aren't purely show.

In the market now for a CBE (I'd like a little deeper tone/rumble), and an AP.

Who says you can't mod over 100k?

08 just rolled over 10k yesterday:neener: bought it late april all stock. On a completely different note, my mom has a 2004 Honda CR-V with 250k, she bought it brand new December 03.

51581, same motor, fully bolted and abused.

Still on original brakes... second set of tires.. Thats it.

06 MS6 60K! Just found out I have VVT Actuator Problem! Damn!

07 - 125,742

Just hit 100,000 on my '06 Speed6. Only issue is the drain plug to the radiator broke off and had to change the fluid and bolt, but it was about time anyways.

Hopefully she has another 100,000 left in her.

You know you bumped an old thread when the previous poster above you was phillyb.

The FAIL is strong with you dumb one...

I choked on the cobwebs from this thread bump.

2008, basically fully bolted... see sig. 71k and I desperately wish to stop driving it.

77k, 75k of it modded.

About 45k above 350wtq. About 15k above 400wtq.

2007 ms3 original everything minus front struts and bushings. Mods are MS CAI gutted 2nd CAT tuned on 18psi.

1st engine about 30K maxed out tune (Badly implemented FFS killed it).
2nd engine, 24K mostly stock 'cept intake.

I guess I can now say that my stock engine lasted 147k miles, original everything except the vcts valve.

EDIT: I guess I did change plugs a few times, but I did use the original plugs until around 100k.

92k and counting. modded since 14k, fully bolted power mods since 50k.

Way past 100K, Still Kickin' ASS!
 

I just 127,000 miles. First engine. Original motor mounts. This car has been such a trooper.
I'm just about to do a major power steering rebuild after it overheated and nuked the pump, which locked up and melted down the reservoir, too. Other than that, and a little tapping that sounds a lot like valve-tap from some accidental over-revs by me and a friend or two, I haven't had any major issues.

What more could I ask for? Beautiful performance, great gas mileage, and amazing reliability. Besides a few bugs here and there, Mazda really hit the nail on the head with my Speed 6.

Wow....thread resurrection!!! My 07's @ 78k, all original parts 'cept Injen CAI, Pulstar Plugs and new tires. Had plenty of warranty work though... Tranny mounts, VVT & front control arms and end links.

107,000 miles; MSCAI is my only mod. I have replaced:
LF strut(warranty)
Turbo(warranty)
VVT(warranty)
EGR valve
Front pads/rotors
Rear shocks

2007 MS3, 93k miles. original engine, although I have noticed VVT noise, motor mount noise, and strut noise.
Only mods are Hawk HPS pads in front, drilled more inlet holes in the OEM air box, disconnect the steering wheel angle sensor, and a couple of sets of tires.
I bought this Mazda based on getting 280k out of my old (non-turbo) 626. Guess I cannot expect the same from this one, huh? :(

-----------
Since original post, replaced rear motor mount with JBR RMM and ordered SURE front sway bar bushings.
On Dec 3, 2012 I hit 100k miles.
Still have original spark plugs too. Probably wouldn't hurt to change them.
Around 60k, I started using Amsoil, 25k per oil change.

114k miles stock motor , stock VVT .. Speed6

86500 08 MS3, 3rd set tires, new Koni sport, front bump stops, front O2 sensor, new HPS pads, ABS Module($1770), front SB bushings, driver side motor mount (lots of wheel hop first time DR ), 3 cold air intake systems due to bad MM,Looks like a bad MAP or MAF sensor (just happened, trying to diagnose, P0098), 3 alignments, EGR cleaning, coolant changed, lot of synthetic oil changes, 1 Tranny change (Motorcraft), other than that just great driving! Average just over 25 MPG for the duration, still does 155 and still runs in Mid 13"s with MSCAI and MSCBE! My wife thinks it's a Lemon!

I have an 08 ms3 at almost 95k miles. factory replaced turbo at around 70k miles. running intake and cbe, with an ap. Im running 19.6 lbs of boost . Runs strong, no knocking, smoking, or anything odd. Loving it.. Still want to downpipe, but still on the fence, should i get a oil feed line restrictor, and then get the downpipe?. ive seen them for 20 bucks.

08' speed3 I just turned 109K miles all stock except Sure SRI. Runs great. Recently cleaned my EGR valve & tube. Penzoil Platinum every 5K miles.

06 ms6, i think i'm @ like 90k, original motor and clutch. only problem i have had w/ my car was a broken seal on the rear diff @ like 65K, and the sensor for the smart key went out.

135K miles on 2006 Mazdaspeed 6. Original engine, just had clutch replaced this week. Besides that no major problems. Still pulls strong.

Your wife sounds like those, women that think cars never need anything not even oil changes. I have a MS6 with 98000 still on stock turbo and vvt, just got a new clutch and pp 2000 miles ago, avg 21 mpg city and 30 mpg hwy being easy on it.

Aint it the truth, just had to spend $650 to replace intake manifold gasket on HER 06 Caravan leaking water with 86K as well as 2 struts/shocks, rack and pinion 2 waterpums and rear AC, 2 tierods and I have a "lemon"!!

195xxx original turbo/mounts. 0 isues

Im impressed. Well done

It was stock until 190xxx km though haha
