life expectancy of a 3000GT VR4

i was just wondering about how many miles you can get out of a 93 3000GT VR4

well bud, there is a 3000 GT forum on here, this is the ECLIPSE/TALON/LASER forum! Your in the wrong place.

i was wondering about about how many miles you can get out of a 93 3000GT VR4

I'm sure the 3K guys could help you better.

I got 146k on my SOHC... and it still runs strong... tranny had to be rebuilt... but that's b/c I picked up a hood ornament (deer)... other than that car runs out great... I work for a used car lot... so I went down to a sale the other day.. saw a 92 3000GT with 340k miles on it... it was still in great condition... especially considering the mileage... went for $3000.... that's crazy to me...

depends on way too many factors: maintenance records, how hard its driven, weather, etc etc. but many VR4s have gone 200k + miles.

yeah, i abused the hell out of my 92 vr4 and still made it to 165,000 miles

imagine if i would have treated her right

yeah, I'm sure mine wasn't driven easy before I got it... when I bought it... there's a complete custom mandrel-bent exhaust (3-inch dual on SOHC)... and wiring for an amp... and stage 3 clutch... all the little performance mods had been stripped and replaced with the stock components... and I'm not saying I drove it easy either... I think the fastest I ever had it to was 145...

hey, if your motivated, have a little extra cash, and a little mechanical savvy, you can make it last forever lol. thats my mindstate anyway. Thats the best thing about cars, theres NOTHING that cant be fixed or replaced....just dont wreck it!

Wouldn't expect it to go past 180k, unless its been absolutely meticulously maintained and babied it's whole life, like most spyder's probably are. Do a compression test, gives a good life expectancy.

i have a '93 with 150,000 on it. compression on all cylinders is between 58 and 61 (or 158 and 161, whichever is more realistic, i dont recall if it was hundred or not)

I have 289,493 on mine - only replaced the water pump, thermostat, and timing belt, runs amazing you wouldnt know it has so many miles on it - its strong, its fast, its not loosing a single hp or any lb. ft. of torque.....

it must be 158-161 that you intend to say. that is IF your car is healthy.

I have 165k on mine, needs spark plugs, oil leak fixed, and 2nd gear fixed. Other than that, it runs great.

I had 110,000 on my 94 VR4 when I sold it a couple years ago and have 80K on my 95 Spyder VR4.
