20V Life?

[Sanxta]

what can i expect to get out of my silvertop that's done 212,000 kms now . . .?

it's been reasonably well looked after - although i don't know it's whole history, no rebuilds and has a few replacement bits and pieces on the inside.

what's the most that anyone has got out of theirs b4 it died?

I seen one silver top with 270,000 on the clock, still going and been a jap import its probably done over 300,000kms if they are serviced often they should last over 300,000

[Fuct Munkey]

just got mine to tick over 404,000... cant say it goes to well, its driveable, but its never been rebuilt. smokes a whole lot, but i think it only started getting bad in its mid 300,000's. go the mighty 20v!

haha yeah mine runs fine but it definatley doesn't do the crisp little pushback i used to get out of the car when i put down the right pedal.

time to retire the trueno and get a VTEC i think . . .

im my 20 valve levin i am onto the fourth motor in under 160km.
cant remember how many gearboxes, had both cvs done a few times.

Not really the strongest cars, but hey then again i am a bit ruff on them.

[Mr Revhead]

you must be seriously rough.. to the point you are doing some thing very very wrong.... id be blaming the driver, not the car.....

[JP0976]

yeah i already took the blame for there short lives. read down the bottom of my last post.

[Mr Revhead]

haha yeah, but u said a bit ruff, to have that kind of record youd have to be insanly rough! or never change any oil!!

[JP0976]

oil changes every 5000 km or LESS. Top quality product always used. they are a sporty car, so i have to drive it accordingly. no use driving it like its a dihatsu charade is it?
i have a weekday car also and its running fine on its original motor and itrs got somthink like 160 km on it.

im amazed 4age can do this . you put your foot down in a blacktop and it goes slower than it does with mid throttle..

damn ecu X_X

[10k 20v]

lol, 4 motors

i thrashed mine for 3 years (rev limiter as a shift light ) and it didn't breaka sweat. 56,000kms till 146,000kms oil change every 10k (not including the 1 litre top up every 2,000 kms)
are u sure it's not a 4afe!!!!!! even still it's very hard to kill those

maybe you like putting it in 2nd gear at 180kph

[Sanxta]

[trueno93]
