I understand your request, but have you ever seen/used an RB Header? They are by far - one of the best made parts for the Rotary. Well made, well designed, and use of excellent materials. One of the few things that can be said of American parts lately.

The only header you'll find that performs better than RB is an SDJ, made in America. Good luck finding one.

If you want Japanese parts, try Yahoo.jp. That's where some of my parts have come from, but through an intermediary. For the 1st gens, most of the good parts are made here in the USA.

Only it will..... it says he's from Fargo ND. Maybe I could get something done up for him here, it'd be crap, but not from the usa.

He'd **** bricks. I thought the US made good car parts. It's just that the big three likes to outsource their manufacturing elsewhere so we get crap for cars...

"i just dont like the us or anything made by them period."

I'm wondering when he'll put his behind where his mouth is and move further north. About 200 miles should do it. 'Don't let the border smack you on the *** on your way out.'

And I'm guessing he shouldn't be buying anything through Mazda North America any more, either.

I don't understand why you are so against installing American made parts on your vehicle? Maybe we should contact the Department of Homeland Security. There could be terroism brewing in Fargo! I've bought parts from this site a few times.

I suspect he may be buying parts typically from the mega retailer parts outfits which IMO sell inferior parts I'd go to an outfit that supplies the professional installers.

Who set the land speed record with rotarys? Where are they based?

reminds me of an old story, guy comes in the store and wants tune up parts for his honda cap rotor yadda yadda, at the time we carried Beck Arnley for imports, so upon seeing made in Japan on the dist cap box barked "I don't want this crap" ... "it's made in Japan" I had to ask him if he was serious ... Sir you do realize the car was made in Japan right? How long did the old one last?

So ultimatley what is it you are looking for? Quality products or just to be different? Check Aus as well they have vendors, I contacted one and the freight alone for a shoe size box would be $125.00. Do research its not a matter of where it is made but the "quality control of the facility"

Ok I am off my soapbox lol

dude I wouldn't take it personal, the internet is not the best at conveying the tone of a message or question. If you posed it like you just have that you want to try something different or wanted OE because you were restoring the response would have been better then american parts suck or are crap. I honestly liked seeing the american pride that was displayed

But take this for what you want, I am in the parts biz nearly 30 years and most parts are not made in the USA or Japan anymore. Try India. Mayalsia, China, Pakistan, Hungry, Mexico etc etc. Hence why I referred to "quality control".

With that being said your comments are you have an issue with the USA and are applying for a Visa to leave. How much help would you give someone that responded like that? Will you be able to take your LHD car with you? If not its all a mood point

This kind of post is sufficient enough for a 3 day ban. Consider this your first warning.

You agreed to follow the rules the moment you signed up as a member. This kind of Foul Language - (specifically aimed at our U.S./Canada residents) will not be tolerated again on this forum. You have the right to say whatever you want, and we have the right to throw your *** out.

PMSing? not at all. just asking a question just like u. u'd probably get the same response of ppl asking why u were dead against us made parts if u had a honda and on one of their boards asking the same thing. we would just like to know what bad experience cause u to dislike any automotive part made made here. u can't expect to come on here with such negativity without someone asking why. u could head over to the ausrotary site. they may be of more help since the do have their own aftermarket market. but they do sell to the us. or r u against that too.
