Used rotor and rotor housings... places that sell them?

Does anybody have a used rotor and housing thats still in good rebuild condition? Or know any places that sell them? I live in the bay area and am willing to pick up or pay for shipping from anywhere. I messed up my rear rotor and rotor housing and need to replace them asap to begin my rebuild =/. So thanks in advance for any helpful information.

What year engine do you have? 12A, 13B or 20B? No one can help you if they don't know what specifically need. Year, make and model just like the auto parts store.

RXGirl is right however Mazdatrix won't ship them. If you need some Housing I'll go get a good set for you and ship them for $75 bux each.(plus I get to see RXgirl) Mazdatrix sells the housing for $35 bux each so yes....you'd be paying an upcharge.

They sell rotors and rotor housings for the FD in good rebuild condition? Well I'm sure they do but I'm just asking to make myself feel better about confirmation lol. I live specifically in Fremont, right in the middle of the bay actually lol.

I don't mind doing that. If you can get the rotor and rotor housing for me and ship it over here since Mazdatrix doesn't that would be great. So 75 for a good housing? How much for a good rotor?

ohh well that kinda scares me . Maybe if I get rxgirl7's word of confidence it will boost my decision?

Cheerleader huh? It's good to know another non-male person supporting the rotary world .

they are usually marginal housings, ones that they will not use in their rebuilds. then again they are picky if that makes you feel better.

Karack and Gary......and jeremy,

They won't use the old housing at all. So whether they are good or not they're in the lobby. Mazdatrix claims they're (the housings) good for a "backyard" rebuild. Ha that's what I got!!! a backyard rebuild!! And so do you and you and you as well!!!

Anyway that being said there are planty of good ones to be had.

i can understand mazadatrix's point of view...

why use a marginal housing for a motor spinning 10,000 rpm for 20 minutes at a time?
but they're usually fine for a 400 hp turbo car spinning 7k or below (where 90% of us are anyway).

btw, i use them for some of my buddies rebuilds. i just pick the best of the bunch while i'm there and do the real inspection when i get home. beats $500+ each!

guitarjunkie28, do you live by mazdatrix? I'm willing to pay your or hammons to double check the housing for me (visual as well as measuring) to make sure the housing is still good. So whoever has more experiences with rebuilds... PLEASE HELP ME OUT!!!!!! . Hammons and guitarjunkie can you please PM me a number I can reach you at? I wanna be able to talk to you and not wait for responses over and over again lol. Things will go by faster that way too. Just PM me a number and a good time to contact you and I'll contact you ASAP.

Thanks, Jeremy

OR you can talk to guitarjunkie or hammons lol. The price you pay them to check things out and to ship, plus the actual price of the housing is probably gonna be the same price you spend on gas lol. I kinda live next to you(Fremont) and in no way would I want to drive all the way down there just for a housing... especially since its not new .

Dave (guitarjunkie) lives about 2 hours from mazdatrix. I know mazdatrix has housings but does anyone know if they have junk irons maybe in the back? I need some to practice porting, heh.

only way you're getting me to deal with LA traffic for a 6 or 7 hour round trip is if i give them a healthy markup

2 hours as the bird flies, but the 405 freeway...**** knee-grow. you don't make it down there too much young gay andrew.
