where to find the Rotor shaped oil cap??

OK, I have seen the rotor shaped oil cap several times at different places. I decided to ask for one for Christmas from my girlfriend. Now I CAN'T find them anywhere. Can someone give me a couple of links?? I know there are a couple of different versions available.

Thanks in advance,

I have a rotor charm on a necklace too, but my girl's wearing that, so I cant show that. Nothing looks better on a girl than a little rotor. Got one of these too....

wow, cool guys. I would like to see the necklace. i bet my girl would look good in that

Yeah, I am going to get the oil cap for my B-day and a Mazdaspeed shift **** for Christmas from my girl.

And I am going to have my xxgirl get me the rotary keychain.

I'll continue spending all of my money on go-fast goodies instead of look-good goodies :lol

Well I could only find 2 pics of it, and they're both on her, and I'd be stupid to post pics of her up here with some of these guys.
I trimmed it so that all you can see is the necklace, but the pics are REALLY bad. Maybe this weekend I'll see about putting it on me and taking a picture, I know you all would rather see that anyway. Basically what they are are rotor keychains that I modify some to work as charms. I could probably make a few and sell them with or without sterling silver rope necklaces. Would anyone be interested in something like that? Here are the crappy pics......

rx7.com is the place to go, I picked up mine last week when my stock plastic oil cap cracked...40 bucks and it looks good.

On a side note, I always check my oil when I fill up for gas and recently tried to take off the aluminum oil cap and it was HOT!, so be careful

you get what you pay for...although the mazdaspeed is more expensive, it is MUCH better than the others out there. Notice the apex seal grooves and the indentation on the rotor faces.

RX7.COM and MAZDATRIX both get their key chains and oil caps from my friend jay the owner of jay-tech. i spoke with him today and he said he still has some left. these are cnc machined peices and when polished they are sweet. so if you want one i can get one for you! pm me if interested.

She is, I very much agree, I'm lucky.

You're right again, you can get them in P.R., and probably Japan too, but unless you know someone over in one of those places, then good luck getting them here. I'd be more than happy to make a few of them for anyone that wanted one.

BTW, are you coming to the event at Race Rock this weekend? I'm pretty sure I'll be there.

Ok here we go. I shouldve just asked her to scan it (I'm not smart enough to think about that), but she was nice enough to read it, scan the necklace, and send me the picture. Sooo, here you go.......
