Marty Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 Mine has 127k at the moment, the turbos were on the way out, and the valve stems smoke slightly on startup (like most bloody supras do). Apart from that, its still going strong, that strong, im happy to put a single on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham S Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 N-reg UK Auto - 179k.... and still going strong Rash Is that still on the original turbos? and has it ever needed any major work to the car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ardasaliah Posted November 5, 2006 Author Share Posted November 5, 2006 Turbos can last as long as the engine if treated well. Oil change every 3000 miles and cool downs should see them last into 200,000 mile mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rash Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 Is that still on the original turbos? and has it ever needed any major work to the car? Yes on original turbo's - NO major mechanical work at all ever needed - Serviced on the dot and driven with great mechanical sympathy... Car is totally standard as it was when it left the Toyota factory in 1996 Rash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 The 300K miler is still up and running but retired from high mileage work. One of my Volvo estates has topped 300K, I used to have a Golf come in for servicing,that had done 400K on the same engine, albeit with the valves and guides done, and a new gearbox.
