I have a 1985 gs with a 12A motor with 127,xxx on it and i just can't help myself when i see an open strait away or a whindy road. I redline mine about 3-5 times a day. I put a rad., clutch, and a used gls rearend. other than that the car is all original. I is my very first car. The funest car I have ever driven.

148K and counting. Daily driver, 87 N/A with little to no mods done to it. Original engine and manual transmission, still runs great. Give it a couple months and I'll have 150K.

189K LOL on my 90 Turbo!

I don't know if this motor has been rebuilt or not, but when I had the manifold off it was pretty dirty and everything was falling apart ha ha (correcting everything as it comes)
