so they were always backordered, because they only ordered it for you. sales didn't seem to change much, but perception did.
and someone at Mazda USA seems to think if they have a part in stock its bad, so its kind of typical.

just rebuild what you have with new major parts, it will be less than a new keg if you have the resourcefulness to pull it off, some parts shipped direct from Japan are less (8.5 CR T2 rotors), Mazda Motorsports; if you’re a member, on the parts that aren’t (irons and housings), etc.
if you don’t need emissions, two front rotor housings rather than a rear housing saves about $300 or so, RX8 6-port stat gears many hundreds of dollars less, and so on …

Mazda prices vary a lot, rear housing is the glaring one, as its hard to see why (they use an R stamp, and drill 1 hole the other way?) Mazda USA wants $1600, Amayana, which is my Mazda Japan proxy wants $693 plus $60 to ship...
or you can just order two fronts and live with the OCD :P

Looks like the Billet options are starting to be more of a reality, especially with the price hike for Mazda. For not a ton more money, you can go billet. I don't personally know the longevity or quality of these billet builds but I'm hoping they will be more of an option in the future.

the rotor housings though, those are still fairly exclusive to Mazda, but apparently Atkins is attempting to pull something off without a liner. They had some 12A housings made and posted on social media. So maybe somebody else will try.

unfortunately a number of racing classes require the engine “block” to be OEM, which is plates and housings on a rotary engine.
I did luck out buying all the major engine components; all three irons, pair of housings/rotors/stat gears, etc. about 9 months ago. Glad that I didn’t wait.
but I just posted a wtb ad for the REW “distributor gear” spacer on the eshaft stack between the front pulley hub and the oil sprocket, as it seems to be NLA. I didn’t readily find a revised part number for it and wasn’t sure if the Renesis part is the same thickness. Please lmk if you have one laying around.

like maybe zero 😭
well apparently I stumbled across the new part no. 0839-11-531 for the distributor gear spacer, but it’s coming up everywhere except on Motorsports. So I was thinking maybe JP only then, but I’m seeing it listed on USA websites. 🤔

so way back in the mists of time someone followed the truck to the scrap yard, and there were armed guards.
truck was full of 84-85 Rx7 leather seats, $3500 each
in the USA, you can write off anything you scrap, which is more advantageous than selling at a discount.
