Hey, My 225 is coming up to 96k miles on the clock and going by the repairs/servicing I've done so far it has not been looked after. I'm working towards a stage 2 map and 300bhp, just wondering if I'm pushing my luck on an engine with soo many miles. I also use it as a daily! S-: Let me know your thoughts. Thanks, Rich
These engines seem to suffer very little from wear, I've stripped 2.0 clio engines (same engine just n/a) with well over 100k and the factory bore honing marks are still visible. It just seems everything else around them that lets go lol
A mate of mine has bought an R26 for track use with over 90k on it, been mapped to stage 2 with supporting mods and gets driven very very hard
95k is nothing on a modern engine. My old 172 had done well over 130k and the engine was bang on. Do people still think that a car's life is over when it hits 100k?
Sweet thanks for the reassurance fella's . . . I will crack on with the mods and keep my fingers crossed (-: Just got a bit paranoid since there are quite a few shed's selling on Ebay and engines for parts, makes you think the car is coming to the end of its life. Although having said that I bet there's a fair few mint R5's still floating around.
