Good news boys and girls. We are proud to announce reman engines starting as cheap as $2700 plus your core unit. They all have machined flat housings and are balanced and assembled by the owner of our establishment, Rick Engman who has over 30 years of rotary building experience. Most of you have already heard some of the story so I'll just summarize: He has probably built more championship winning rotaries than anyone on the planet and his engines have won their class at LeMans more than once.

So back to the topic at hand. We are offering the basic rebuilds starting at this price. There is a lot more we can offer but I'll cover that later.
Paul will work with you to make sure your needs are taken care of

Valve Body direct from Mazda

To be clear, I'm not looking for a throttle valve body. A new Transmission Valve Body from North Park is out of the question. I don't feel like giving them any more of my money after their diagnostics, that took an entire day & a half, yielded nothing. They did however check my fluids for $120.00.
A new valve body from them will set me back $2268.14.
It's that .14c that gets ya.

What was the name of that Rx7/8 guru up near Dallas? I'm still searching the threads. I'm thinking it was Supersevens.com or some domain with "seven" in it? I want to say his name was Craig but I may be thinking of the movie Friday. He seemed to have stacks of 8s when I called him a month ago for a transmission price. Maybe I could find a used one from him but I need it before CCM.

revvinsevens.com/

You should have orderd a used transmission from him from the get go. His shipping is fair and quick just dont try and talk him down on the price of stuff. Let me know what happens.

I cannot believe how much that part is... crazy. You could pick up two used trannys for that price.
