How many miles on your 12a first gen
 
Theres a dumbass that doesnt believe me that a rotary can have 200k+ miles on it. I told them theres plenty of 12a's that have this. SO those of you with 200k+ miles on your motor please speak up.

I saw one on ebay a long time ago that had 400k on the chassis and recently had a rebuild, so it was at the high 300k miles.

Thank you, i showed the guy the link and his response was 1/100000 rotaries last that long and he doesn't want to believe that they can be reliable. i guess you cant teach the ignorant.

DJAngelicon 11-18-06 05:32 PM

So far on mine is 123K original motor and still running strong. Gives me 200miles city on full tank and 250 miles on freeway before I tuned it. So, now who knows. Also weekly I give it a good 1 or 2 redlines.

it just annoys me because every jackass that has no experience with them believes what they are saying thus giving us bad names. Granted ill say this the 12A's are a hell a lot more reliable then the 13b's but those can still last a long while too.
