I really like the look of this, and I think that it's great to finally have an option to machine your housings, my only question is:

Why did this take 20 years, and how come no one figured it out before? Was it lack of precision technology, or what?

^I was thinking the same thing. There certainly was a need for this service!

very impressive work ... and for a price that a loser like me can afford.

i doubt if there is any one reason for why it's taken so long. maybe it's technology. maybe it's changes in attitudes. hell, maybe it hasn't been 20 years - i mean, if Ito got a set to test 3 years ago, then there had to be a period of time where this went from an idea to a part-to-be-tested. either way, it's a long-awaited, welcome option for many of us, and hopefully a stepping stone to even better innovations for this engine that we love so much.

I would say things like this are starting to appear because
-Mazda prices are insane
-they are probable stopping production or already have and there is limited stock.

What needs to be done is recoating/refinishing. All my engines (I have at least 12 housings last time I counted. I thought I had 6 until I move a few boxes. Man 20 years makes stock piling!) have the dreaded corner seal triangle wear or have apex damage. Makes them useless with todays current offerings.

I'm going to drive down to Goopy Performance after my DGRR trip
