my 8 is still new so I don't count, but on an rx8 specific forum a pole was done and out of several hundred people something like 80+ percent were still on their first engine. I think alot of it is how you take care of it, regular oil changes, letting it warm up, using premix, etc. I think Kevin for one has an 8 with over 120k miles on it so theres some solid proof that they can last, problem is you always hear from the ones that blew an engine but rarely hear from the ones still trucking with the original.
