Yeah i had an 83, it was a 12A I guess? Revved like crazy and was one of the more balanced cars I ever drove. Consistently got 20 mpg, not great. I don't recall it using much oil and thr transmission went before the engine. The nonturbo versions were pretty sturdy, heat kills the apex seals I hear.
