I took my engine apart today, 1 of the rotors not good.

so I have to replace it.

S5 NA Rotors are pretty rare (at least I tried to find them but no one is selling it right now) so my "last possible" option is to get a new one from Mazda $$$$$$$ (cries)

So question is, same as title which is

"if I buy a new Rotor from Mazda, what are the chances of getting a "C" rotor from them?"

Cuz both my Front and "Dead" rear are C, of course I prefer another "C", but a "B" and "E" should do. problem is, if they ship me a "A" or "E" then I be SOL

anybody had that "sad" experience? (gotta go Mazda for another new Rotor)

 

call one of the engine builders, see what they might have on the shelf....

 

I have one!!!

 

nevermind the one i have is for a turbo

 

well, I will give some of the guys a call in a bit, cuz Im still busy looking for some parts.

But still, what are the chances of getting a C Rotor from Mazda? Just in case I can't get anything here(or anywhere used)

 

I would assume mazda would have one somewhere, but it would be a special order part.

And you'd probably have to sell your house or your first born to pay for it.

+1 for engine builder/shops

 

From what i can tell through my mazdaspeed account you can order a rotor by year and turbo or non-turbo. There is no code designation in the part number.

 

your chances of getting a C rotor from mazda are 100%. ALL of the replacement rotors are C rotors.

how can this be you ask? well if you show me the FSM page where it mentions the letter weight rotors, i will show you where it says all replacement rotors are C stamped

 

i have that too i race my 8. It hirts my feeling becuase it was really my fault that the rotor broke ... Lessons learned NEVER HANDLE PARTS WITH GLOVES ON ....

will start calling tomorrow morning. Dont have a house nor first born to sell, got lots of blood and sperm to sell tho hahaha

hmm probably missed that part. That is good news i guess ....

 

i think i read somewhere that you can take a rotor to a drill press and dimple it to bring the weight down, doing so on each side to equal it out and compare weighting it your other one. I dunno how safe that is but i read people do it.

 

this is the only post you need to listen to,, all replacement rotors are C weight by intention

 

Nice! Thanks !

I will wait a bit and see if any one is up for sale ... cuz at 600 bux new ... I rather use the money and turbo it.

 

600 for a na rotor? now thats highway robbery....

 

Well can't really say that, to make a rotor it has to go though a really complicated process, its already "kinda" cheap, it cost significantly more out there(eg: mazdatrix)

but I don't know, Im getting my eyes and ears out see what happens.
