There is the mazda performance set as well. They are about 210 cdn a set. Standard I get for 110 cdn, which means I am getting them for about what dealer cost is.. sweet..

last motor i did was a 1990 miata, new crank, pistons, rings, oil pump, bearings, gaskets, etc etc, was $2700ish.... you can build a really nice 13b for that....

The fact is too that Mazdaspeed and dealer pricing has gone up by leaps and bounds over the last year. Seems like everytime I check prices they've gone up. I keep a spread sheet of MS prices and those of Mazdatrix and some RB stuff. While over the last year MS has gone up on almost all Cosmo based parts Mazdatrix has actually come down dramatically. Over a year ago the price difference between building an engine with parts from them was several hundred dollars. It's now down to less than $200.

ralph showed me a return from 1992 once, stuff was about half what it was in 99-2000, and since then its gone up quite a bit.



also since 99 there are several grey market importers, who buy in japan and ship over. usually they want bulk (like 100 mpv left headlights) but they have had some rotary stuff

a place in australia is making them (or is going to) scr (south coast rotary) - they claim stronger material and more resistant to detonation, personally dont see the point
