i wnat the street port, but iw as told that if my housings and rotors are in bad condition they would hav eto buy new housings and rotors, it will add up, so might as well buy a reman, but with the reman i cant get a street port.

Hey Eric,

I called Malloy Mazda today and was quoted $1850 for a s5 13BT reman core. Shipping is around $200. I havent decided yet but I may have Dave open up the reman and port it for me. Thing that sucks is if you open up the reman you will need a partial rebuild kit/gasket set.
