I was just curious about the number of miles on the various DSMs everyone has. Who has the crown for most miles? fewest miles?

Mine is a 93 and has 71K.
Cyclone93
I had a 90 Talon with 200953 miles when sold and had a 90 Eclipse GST with 195000 miles when the tranny went bad both without any major repairs that I know of. Probally would have lasted a lot longer if I hadn't driven em cool.gif
Rollout
63k on my 97, pretty sure i dont win anything huh.gif
KOU In3
Have to go recheck to get the exact number. Somewhere in the 60-64K range on my '90 AWD (not the one I just brought home).
wortdog
106k on the chassis/rear end, 4k on the motor rebuild, and maybe 200k on the tranny/transfercase.
ncgalant
151000 on my galant. 8000 of that since the rebuild. No crankwalk yet.
MidwestDSM
I've got around 130k on my 1.8 (and its still a champ!) and like 74k on my 90 FWD.
90GSX
124k on my 1.8. 2k on the rebuilt head, 24k on a rebuilt tranny
awd4kicks
150ish on my 1992 chassis

I swap engines and turbos so often I cant even count those! rolleyes.gif
awdnot2
I put over 150,000 miles on 3 DSM's combined. The old race car I put over 100,000 on it alone.

AWD DSM 1
My latest project has 145k on it. I've owned them from 90k to 185k. Some ran, some didn't. laugh.gif
SCCA Stang
I have 97k on my 93 GSX, the syncro's in the trani are shot and the rings are bad in the engine, but both are going to be fixed by next spring!!! cool.gif

No Record

I have no idea how many acutal miles are on the motors, but the Talon has ~104K on the body, and the laser has I think ~150K. Both motors are supposed to be fairly new. I think i'm at about 40K on the talons rebuild. Who cares, i think im the only one on the board with multiple running DSM's. biggrin.gif

my gst runs. My gsx runs. Runs well I might add.

I know there are more than me, I was overexagerating. BTW- When you sold me that ECU didnt you say that it was out of a Laser? It wouldnt happen to be a certain laser that one Rob Herrick purchased from you and then I purchased from him would it? Theres really no particular reason that I'm asking, just curious I guess.

my gs 1.8 has 197k lots of body damage and the only things that have been replced other than oil oil filter and air filter lol
zacd
ive got 124,000 on my 93 talon
engines never been rebuilt, tranny has been though
resalturbo
my 93 laser has 112xxx everything is original except the bat and torque converter
and of course oil and tranny fluid biggthumpup.gif
still runs strong
ToD_atheon
i have 139XXX on a 94 1.8 L. only thing wrong, that i know of is that it burns oil, and needs a new distributor. other than that its cool wacko.gif
zach
my 91 talon has about 110xxx on the body,

my motor is still unassembled, and my tranny is completely overhauled sitting on the floor,


whose project has sat the longest before being driven?

before I bought my car, it had been sitting with bent valves for about 3 months, then I bought it and it's been sitting in pieces for 15-16 months.

I've never driven an e/t/l in my entire life.... please someone, can i drive yours so i have inspiration to finish mine?

I've sat in mine and made whoosh noises(maybe a little tire squeelling too.)

Sounds like you're suffering from a bad case of the Mad KOU disease.

Your more than welcome to drive mine, but i only have a 1.8L and the only whoosh noises you will hear is that of air passing though the worn rubber seals around my window, and the only squeel you will get out of it is that of a loose belt.
90tsi_talon
I just bought a 90 tsi and its still got a 98 tag on it!, not sure if its been sitting that long. BTW does anyone know how much, if any, better a straight t3, off a saab, is than the 14b?

ROFLMFAO biggrin.gif

I've actually done more DSM driving in the last week or so than.. well ever.

I feel your pain Zach. If you're near Champaign you can take the beater for a spin if you like. I stare at Frankenstein's engine bay daily promising that nothing with get in the way of finishing it 'this weekend'
