Not many!
So far just over 200 km's

Hope it last awhile longer, I'm just getting used to driving it again!

Rebuilt mine about 2700 miles ago, but looks like I might be having some problems with the oil o-rings and might have to crack her open again. Oh well...

Rotary Works re-did a J-spec s5 for me, it's got about 2800 on it, and runs AWESOME.

About 78000 on an Atkins rebuild and it runs good.

I've got just over 25,000 miles on a Hayes S5 NA rebuild with mild street port and 3mm apex seals, and it is running great.

No slot for me, all of the above. Have many running (mine, kids, friends and a few for $$). not a problem in any. Some have Mazda Apex and Recently started using RA's.

If done right, the rebuild will last nearly as long as the oem motor (150K +).

about 50,000. the rear housing was replaced during the rebuild, not sure what was wrong with it as it was done before i bought the car. the previous owner started keeping all of the receipts for the oil changes after the rebuild - 1 every 3,000 miles or 3 months.
