Are these still being made? The http://www.twistedrotors.com/ site is still up; but any attempt to place an order through results in Paypal saying they are out of stock (either the blue display or the green display version).

Yeah, I think John has done a runner...
Many have tried to contact him with NO response, what happens if a warranty situation occurs???

Making similar in UK
Hi all,
I found this thread and thought what a great idea, and then realised no one had posted in 2 years and the whole thing might be dead.
I don't know if anyone has found an alternative for a similar budget, but I am in the UK and apart from the $400+ ones I cant fin anything.
My brother is an electronics engineer and we reckon we can make a good digital tester for rotaries sub £200 (GBP) so $300.
I would be interested to see if you guys think there is still a demand for this.
We are going to make a one off anyway, cos I just took a punt on a 05 192BHP "8", and want to know how long before I might have to take the engine out!! (I know I should have got a test first!!!!)
So I will keep you all informed if you wish? And if there is interest I'll start a new thread with the full spec etc.
Please let me know everyone!!
Cheers!

I have the version 2. His website went down about the same time a bunch of people were complaining on it about late delivery in the v2 group buy. No word from him since then. There are other, perhaps better, options however:

Jackson, it is important you change the batteries every few years, as I did with my new one..
About $1600 from Mazda....and yes they are still available, new.

While our Oz currency is at an all time high against the USD, I decided to invest (with a few other local Mazda enthusiasts) in Mazda's 'genuine' tester, that is IDS (MMDS) with genuine software and VCM pass through, so now we can see all.
There is a lot to take in (learn)....module re-programming/calibrating, in-codes and out-codes....DTC's, PATS, full data logging, etc, etc.
Anyway, we will be offering a local service (for a small fee) for any Mazda owner from about 1996 onwards...also Ford is no longer shared with Mazda IDS and visa versa.
