Hi, I've been looking into getting an imported '89 FC, and for the most part many of these cars on auction don't have many kms on them, around 70k to 90k kms.

I was just wondering if anyone had a healthy guess as to how long the rotary engine will last before needing a rebuild. I've heard anywhere from 100k to 200k. I'm sure it depends heavily on how well maintained it is, but I don't want to have to go through all of that soon after I get one.

any input would be great, thanks a lot.

it depends on the owners care and whether or not its a turbo, its JDM so its turbo, im not one to speak on how long a Turbo engine will last, cause I own a base

 

thanks man, yeah i was watchin japanese tv special on the rotary a little while ago and they had said the first prototype rotary hit 100,000kms when they fixed it up a bit so I'm sure a 13b shouldn't have problems that early unless the previous driver gave the engine hell.

anyways thanks for the reply
