rx8 rebuild

[macca88]

got a rx8 that needs an engine overhaul..... Most places have refused or quoted like $8. Any recomendations for a good rotang overhaul?

Have you spoken to Lee Sanders of Sanders Racing?

Alternatively.... Low kay import donk?

Eight dollars is a pretty good deal for a 13b rebuild...

lee sanders in kelmscott or there is the obvious Rotomotion in maddington/kenwick.
also i believe LF performance owned by the Ledger family do some really good rotary work

LF did all my fab way back when.... They were good but the employees aren't the same anymore. Caught up with an ex-employee at the V8's... Go see Sanders and tell him he is a poof for driving a hair dresser's car!!

8k is fair for an RX8 rebuild. But I'd personally throw it in the bin and get a new one. I try and avoid using motors / parts that have come off a blown motor. You'll find a new short block will be around 10k landed and maybe another couple to install. Your local Mazda dealership will sort you out with a straight engine swap.

If you can't afford to go new LFP still build the best rotors in Perth IMO but they like to build race motors not daily drive motors. Try Rotomotion champ.
