Give Tim a ring he\'ll sort you out :)
Atkins rotary will have what you need.
Or speak to your local tame tuner/engine rebuilder. I\'m sure Clive and Mazda Rotary Parts will also help you out

thanks all, going to take engine out christmas week and see whats gone wrong. if its going to cost to much i think ill break it
Sad to hear this,
Hopefully you will get the car that you have owned and enjoyed for many years now back on the road
adib, when you take the engine out and apart the seal kit to put the engine back together if there is nothing wrong is like £500-600 already
thanks clive and iv had the rx 7 years now so if its only £600 then thats ok, pretty shore its a tip, was getting hard to start when hot and then it cut out going down road, got it started again and its running bad, shaking the car and boost gauge is going up and down like made
be carefull and look into seal and spring choice as these have huge impact on quality of rebuild,id avoid 3mm and use gen springs,if its your first rebuild may be a good idea to use mazda parts for most of it.id say budget 1k and metres of vac hose for a good build that will last,hopefully it hasnt done the housing/rotor
Before you make a decision you really need to talk to Tim (if you can get him to the phone) he can supply cheap good used housing rotors etc if money is tight. I\'ve bought loads of stuff from him over the years and can\'t recommend him enough, if your close it worth a trip to his place as its a real eye opener :)
thanks for the info a.tapos and my vac hoses are all new.
i will talk to tim thanks grizzly, but need to take engine out and see whats gone wrong with it first
