What engine are you on?

My 8 had 90+K when I bought it but the original owner blew the 1st motor with Greddy Turbo kid. He put a new reman and I bought it with 10K on the reman.. Now I've driven 10+ K and runs fine (except for the whole ECU limp thingy).

I also blame dealers for replacing engines though. When I had the issue with ECU, I called one of the 8 owner I knew and he told me that one of his friend had similar issue and when that guy took it into the dealership, they replaced the engine... Like the FD's back in the days... Dealers get trigger happy about replacing engines instead of actually trying to learn and fix simple issues.

Now I feel like there are very few FD owners blow up their motor with stock set up.. I think we just know more about these engines and forum like this will help you troubleshoot better.
