Well, I had a 12A I limped for a year like that. Mileage sucked, the white smoke was embarrassing and eventually, I got a backfire that did the engine in completely in the driveway.

But that was a 12A in a 1stgen RX-7. Internal improvements might paint a different story for you. Let's see what the 2ndgen guru's have got to say and what your odds look like.
