Any 13bs for sale? Side housings?

I don't know if the irons can be re-lapped?

I'm really bummed out.

Mazdatrix can relap them. What year is the engine?

I think we determined it was an S5, based on the turbo.
I was planning on using RB lightweight "irons", so re-lapping isn't too high
on my list of priorities as much as getting rotor housings prepped for
P-porting.
Now I'm really jinxed on buying anything used, as it's now one of four
transactions on rotary parts was a waste.
