They aren't remans, they are all new engines with all new parts made by Mazda in Japan. Not a single used part in them.

Thanks, Dale. I thought so. I used to worry about motors or motor parts going NLA. If they just would do the interior plastics, vinyl, and seats, that would help a lot.

Haven’t checked in a while, but guessing a set of new housings are now over $2k...roughly half of a complete new engine. No idea on a set of side plates. I don’t know, maybe that’s in line with costs on say...a LS V8. And I’m happy that MAZDA is still making new short blocks. But is it normal when, as j9fd3s pointed out, it makes more sense to buy an engine instead of a couple of housings, some gaskets and seals?

The cost of the parts for Mazda is MUCH lower than it would be for us. They are getting major parts straight from their own foundry, whereas parts we get are boxed, shipped, warehoused, and sold by a dealership or distributor. That's a lot of people taking a piece of the action.
I hope these new engines stay available for a LONG time to come, that is a wonderful resource to have. I would LOVE to have one for myself but that kind of money really needs to go into a paint job

and this is what has happened with the piston engines, when they retooled the plant for the Skyaktiv stuff, they no longer have engine parts for the miatas

if you're bored pelican parts has an engine builder thing, as does flyin miata, they make the rotary look cheap

And are big items, like say a rear window in the works to be in the works?
for the miata they did press some new sheet metal, so big parts yes. FD rear window is still available

Late 2019 I was at a cars and coffee meet in Hiroshima Japan and there was a man I met who worked at Mazda. He told me that reproducing Rx-7 Parts was being worked on in another department but didn’t say when they would be available.

once they pick a part to reproduce, they take the drawings and update them to the current spec (some form of CAD) and then find someone who can make it, if the original vendor is not still there. and then make the parts, send some to the US and then make a list and then put that out

Slow news is better than no news. Thanks for the update and the link!
Here's the Google-translated parts page: https://translate.google.com/transla...s/&prev=search
The listed prices seem reasonable. If they don't have some of the old tooling, etc. – this might be the opportunity for aftermarket vendors like R.E. Amemiya, Sakebomb Garage, Fujita Engineering, etc. to become OEM suppliers as they've already invested in measurement, testing, QA, etc. When the program is proven viable, perhaps more Mazdaspeed parts will also be supported.

Yes, it's particularly attractive – I'm guessing it's somebody's labor of love. Most manufacturers can barely put together a text file or spreadsheet full of part numbers.
