...I know a guy like that in the states; any smart cheap-assed FC owner would ...



...In my experience, it's cheaper to pick up cores until you have usable parts when it comes to rotors, and housings...

Hehe.. I know of one shop that has about 20 8.5 rotors sitting on the shelf right now in Japan, maybe I should scoop em up....



What are you guys paying for rotors and seals stateside?


dealercost/mazdacomp pricing on the following, everything just went up, again, so recheck yours



S4 T2 rotors, $534us each



2mm apex seals, 47.60each



fd rotors are $503



S4 T2 front rotor housing, 426.50



i know if you're buying in japan you can beat this, you're not the only one, but i think theres an extra markup on the rotary internals, the mazda remans are still the same price

If when mazda stops making irons and rotors etc... do you think some othedr large comany will make those parts so that people like us could still buy them a while down the road?



Just out of curiosity.

It's highly unlikely at this point.



The only potential saving grace would be if the tooling found its way to China or Korea. China actually does have a Wankel engine program. You don't hear very much about it, since they consider it to be military technology.
