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'm at 155k. Runs great, but burns a bit of oil when she's cold.

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.

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.
