Going back to Rotary, What happened to Re-Speed?

Got away from my RX7 for a while, went to a 1984 VW Rabbit GTI. Anyway, trying to go back to my old project, seems RE-Speed doesn't do RX7s anymore.

Things I was looking for were rear brake caliper adapters for TII brakes onto a GSL-SE housing, and Moser axles with the 5 lug pattern to match a S4/S5 subframe mod to the front of the FB. Does anybody else make comparable stuff to the old Re-Speed or does Moser still offer these elusive axles directly?

ReSpeed.not around anymore. Mosler can get the axles I think. There was thread on here just this week about an eBay seller making ReSpeed big brke knockoff kits.

After seeing their axles up close I wouldn't put Moser axles on a grocery getter, let alone anything with performance in mind...

So peejay, its been awhile for me, what other options are out there? Is your statement a generality for moser products or just the RX7 product offered through Re-Speed?

I'm getting back to my FB, time to pick up the torch and carry it forward, GSL-SE rear to be rebuilt, 5x114.3 axles, FC TII brakes was my original plan. Have the diff, housing, and FC brakes, looking for brake mounts, axles, and LSD rebuild kit.
