One day I will rue the day I ever brought the 7 into my life but that day is not TODAY! I typically make bad decisions anyway so its no surprise.

Haven't seen any of them huh? There are a few ppl on here that just pay someone else to do all the work for them... It must be nice, but then again I ENJOY working on my cars.

To the OP, I saw that you have made your decision to purchase an RX7. If that is correct I just hope that you are at least somewhat mechanically inclided and have a desire to work on cars. Just b/c you are a ways from a rotary mechanic (no, mazda does NOT count, please don't take your FD there....) and will have to do some things yourself. The FD is really not that unreliable, just take care of it and do the maitenance as suggested on this board. Take care and planning with lots of research before performing a modification and you should be in great shape. You will LOVE the car, it is such a joy to drive.

Southwest Virginia...Fort Chiswell. Near Wytheville.

IceBerg,

I would check for a shop in Tennessee, North Carolina, Kentucky, or maybe even West Virginia!!

If none exist you can always haul your FD to Ray at Peter Farrell's in Fredrick, maryland!!
