So I helped my friend take out his motor in his 87 GXL yesterday, which is so much easier the second time around. So here is the craziest part; it was the original motor, and it had 300,000 MILES on it!!! He is the second owner of the car. Which brings me to this question of how many miles does your 7 have? Just curious to see if anyone is even close to that.

 

200+

the rotary is reliable as hell n/a its when boost is introduced that you start having problems. much like a traditional motor

 

My last N/A Fc had over 170K and pulling strong. My former roommate had a first gen with over 200K. My FC now has less than 4K so let's see what happens

 

My old FC had 29X,XXX miles on it. I forgot the mileage. It was a 91 Rx7 NA > Turbo. Sold the car middle of the swap.

 

i say they arent reliable

looks like someone needs to learn to maintain a car better

ornot

 

no one cares about what you think take better care of your cars and it might just last longer

 

lol. i already said that

 

There's 35,000 on my rx7... it's not even that low yet I barely drive it, pretty weak sheet I know

I've seriously put more miles on my bicycle than my rx7 since I bought it :|

 

LOL oh you guys

 

My original motor pooped ~220

 

Damn! All these peeps with crazy miles. Well shows how good these motors really are. Thanks for the input guys hopefully my new engine lasts as long as some of yours. I'm at about 3500miles.

 

You cant compare Turbo to NA, my first 85 gsl na lasted about 180K, my turbo 30K but alot more funner u get what u pay for

 

i think u miss the sarcasm.

 

I Did !, 3 Motors in 4.5 years... 1 motor / 18 mo. = Not Reliable....

 

iDome. 3 years warranty.

 

My cars got 195k and running fine.No rust just little dents.Swapping motors though just because it has a little oil leak but you know how that goes. Original engine though.I guess its when dumbasses drive it too hard and blow gaskets,rings,and seals.And thats why they need to rebuild so soon.But rotary all the way bro

 

 

The rotary in n/a form is one of the industry’s most reliable engines. This reliability also showed up in the '80 through '92 LeMans win professional racing. They definitely were not the most powerful cars on the track but they obtaining the winningest record by running to the finish; beating Porsche to the longest winning streak in IMSA.

 

YEAH NA IS SLOW. Boost it lets see how long it lasts

 

boost is where the funs at right

 

my old fc had 170k on it, my current fc has 6470 miles on it ,

my friend had 280k miles on it, and he never took care of the fc, surprisingly the car always took the abuse and lasted him before he sold it.

 

well your friend most likely sold it before it gave out on him

 

^ little things would give out like the fuel pump, afm, and rad, besides that the motor never gave up on him...

last i heard the new owner was still driving the car
