where are the engines?

used to be that I could find rotary engines all over. ebay, thepartstrader, rx7@world.std.com, corksport, ect. Craigslist is pretty dried up. is this normal now or am i in a rotary recession?

Hey Richard haven't seen you around in a while, how have things been? To answer your question, it seems this is the way of things now, stuff was much easier to find years ago. I can't remember the last time I saw much on partstrader, and ebay only seems to have JDM 13bt's, don't see many 12a's or 4 port 13b's around anymore, guess they are just getting rarer....
Everything is still out there, just takes a little more searching to find.

glad to hear you are still in "the game" doing it right is always a challenge, but well worth it in the end. BTW I still have those door panels I got from you in 2002 and they still look great! haha

I have a portion of a 12a that's still usable.. But basically the plates are the only things that are still usable.

i have a 12a that ran on one rotor, probably just seals so a rebuild will be needed. complete engine with any accessory you need.
