Im one of the 100+ with a Reman on BackOrder.
Anyone else with any info./ or things to add on the Reman Situation please post.


*forgot to post a poll
but how long you think you will be waiting?

1-2 months
2-4 months
5 or more

 

Are you through Malloy? I thought I just heard that Malloy is 30 deep.

 

wow so i should preorder just in case my motor ***** the bed anytime soon?

 

Remans and rotor housings are on national backorder until August (?). Mazda was falling behind on Renesis motors apparently.

Advice: Don't blow a motor this summer!

 

Im not through Malloy, but yeah its true.


Advice x2: Dont blow a motor as if 2 months ago either!

 

WOW, news to me. I usually get them within 3 days of ordering them.

 

have you tried lately?

 

wait...how long have you been waiting?
i ordered a mazda reman (3yr 30k mi. warranty) a month ago (plus or minus a couple days) and got it in a week...

 

I havent been waiting long. But Im wondering how long I will have to be waiting.
Where did you buy yours?

 

build!

 

got it from a friend who has a shop...they ordered from some place in texas

 

i just got mine in, It took about 2 weeks to get mine. It appeared that it had new rotor housings! Usually it does take about 3 days to recieve them.

 

Remans are on backorder and from what I heard they discontinued the program, but not sure. We were waiting on a couple and decided to build them instead of wait. Housings are also hard to get.

thats bad news

 

I've been waiting for about three weeks.

 

err, you mean 1yr or 12k mi? My reman lasted 13 mo or about 15k mi. Warranty, schmoranty.

 

Ouch, if true that really sucks. 3mm seals, and v8 converted cars are going to get really popular.

 

^ yeah, I think i'll drop a 13B turbo in to a 69 Stingray and post it on the Corvette forum. It's over 30 years old so there won't be any smog restrictions.

 

rotary vette what?

A 20B powered stingray would be pretty sweet IMHO, and a sleeper too, since they're normally prety damn slow.

 

waiting on a reman also, ugh i hate this.

 

nope...3 year 30k mile warranty :P

 

^ never heard of that. My receipt shows one year. I'd like to see that, since I don't beleive it. But then, I still wouldn't buy another rebuilt direct from Mazda again.

 

OK, so let me ask a clarifying question because this is shocking news....

This could mean no more replacement reman engines??? Only way to go would be to rebuild your engine? If so, don't you need new rotor housings with that?

Yes, kinda a noob question but *knock on wood* I haven't had to delve into that info much.

 

That is the rumor I heard but I dont know how true it is. If that is the case then you would have to order a motor from a shop that builds them. Thats not a big deal but that will drive the price up of a basic rebuild and take longer to get. Only real problem right now is the shortage of rotor housings which could lead to people waiting months to get a new motor.
