Hey guys,
I was browsing the Racing Beat website and checking out the "Rebuild kit 1981-85 12A". It cost $1,005.67, part#30011

And i notice there is another version of the kit called "Rebuild kit 1981-85 12A-Race" it cost $810.00, part#30011R


Why is there such a huge price difference? And the racing one cost less?
The descriptions seem to be the same. What is the difference between the two?
Anyone know?

I bet alot of people want to know.

Thanks

 

probably the first one is a mazda oem kit which they raised the price of...and the second is a after market kit that a company they deal with manufactures...cal them and ask if your really interested

 

The race kit comes with race apex seals, being they're made of carbon and aluminum. They aren't for street use due to they're sealing at low rpm is hard, and they wear quick (i was told about 50 hours after break-in). When they break, crack or wear out they dont grenade the rest of the engine so its a little bit better when you rebuild it again.

 

So the Racing Kit is like a Disposable engine kit. I always wondered the difference between the kits myself.

 

Do not get the race rebuild kit if you intend to use your car on the road or if you want it to last more than 10-15k miles.

 

Thanks for your replies guys!
I new that it was something lot's of people would wonder about.
...there had to be a reason for the cheaper price.
