bought new fd
Hi all,
Just purchased a 94 last week from L A Motorcars. Heard mixed stories about them but I figured I'll take a chance. Still waiting to get it shipped out to Charleston. Here's the only online pic of it:

I have other's on my computer but don't know how to post pictures here. Anybody in the Charleston, SC area know of a good mechanic for these cars or at least a good parts supplier other than Mazda. I have plenty of experience with "conventional engines" but nothing with rotary. This car will definitely be a learning experience, hopefully a good one.

Coolvette,
Thanks for the info. From what I heard Lance is a pretty honest guy but he's also just a dealer. I'm having the car compression tested at Rotary Performance but like anything I take words as they are, just words. I'll just have to see when the car gets here. Like most people say, it's a 10+ year old car...
