The N/A 1.3s I have seen tons with 150000++ miles. With the Turbocharged rotary I often see at around 80,000 they start to die out slowley, For a NA I would rebuild at 100k and for a turbo at 60k along with the turbos. And you gotta factor how hard you drive your 7 and the modifications.

My 87 NA has 197,000 miles on it and my 94 turbo has 60,000 miles on it. Both are strong and still do great.

My mazda truck has 232,000 miles on it and my '89 Mazda 323 had 217,000 miles on it before it was dismantled.

Is it me, or do I like Mazda.
