Well just like the tittle says. Where is the best place to buy rotor housings and new rotors.



Also rebuilt kits with everything...seals, o-rings and so for..



Please take into consideration quailty, manufacturer, materials and price which is always important.

Thanks

as far as price your best options are

1. ebay

2. Atkins rotary

3. Pineapple racing



Everyone else really trys to stick it to you..... EVEN MAZDATRIX



good luck with the rebuild and don't go the cheap route with only new soft seals or else you'll more then likely are not going to be unhappy with your engine in about 10,000 to 30,000 miles. read the engine rebuilders tips in the forum to get a better idea of what to expect

The best price I found on parts and housings was Rotaryaviation.com

I bought 2 rebuild kits, and a housing from them, the housing was at least 80 bucks cheaper than anywhere else.

They use their own o-rings, which so far are holding up well..maxt

I bought new rotors and housings for my 7 from my mechanic, which he said he had ordered them from Japan. Second hand one's where cheaper but he told me to go new cause id be racing the car on the strip and that would save me from rebuilding the motor so soon.
