No this is not another "is there a good rotary shop in x-city" post. If you could have your FD engine built by anyone in the country who would it be and why?

I looked in the archives and did a search and could find no similar post.

The reason I ask is because I am about to have a core sent to Pettit. I have heard some bad things about Pettit recently though that may change my mind.

Anyone who has had good or bad experiences with a shop I would love to hear your story.

 

kevin landers or BDC...bdc for his port work, kevin for his no-nonsense attitude. both are well known, high quality builders.

 

Corey, The owner of Extreme, he is one of the most nice people I have met, I had to bring him my R1 because it was running strange, I had two other people look at it and they could not figure it out, I bring it to him and just a few days later he had it up and running! and you can really tell he love what he does! I have my car at his shop right now in NC and he is going to be building and porting my motor

 

RnR rotary in Glendora Because I know their work and I trust them. I drive 140 miles to see those dudes.

 

whell im going to pettit for my first rebuild which is in 2 or 3 weeks.

 

Myself

 

I would think that Pettit is one of the premier builders. I have never heard anything negative (that was legitimate) about Pettit. Rotary Performance in TX is also a really good place as is Mazdatrix and Rotary Power here in CA. Not sure why you are sending your motor all the way out to FL when there a lot of good builders here in CA.

If I had to get my own personal motor done right now, I'd have to go with Goodfella since I know him personally and trust him a lot.

 

I think Dave left.

 

Don't get me started on them...

 

I have heard good things about Rotary Power. What does Goodfella charge?

 

I would use kevin landers in Morristown TN, I have had 2 engines rebuilt there in the past year and he does A Super job and Also at A great price.

 

PFS in Maryland.

 

Without a doubt, Kevin Landers.

 

+1 for myself. wish I had the room.

 

I do not know about porting or exteme/full build. For a good quality, reasonably priced overhaul that i can trust, i would have Rich from IR Performance do it. I can tell he likes what he does.

 

go with one of the best. Mr rx7 tt (Chris Rogers)
You won't be disappointed.

 

makers7 in hatsicahichi (think i spelt that wrong) Japan. They are the ****! i know you said in country but since i am out of country i couldnt really comment on that. Anyways the japanese guys at makers are amazing, and that is all they work on there is 7's

 

IR Preformance(aka Rich and Ihor) Gotta give them a good rep since they are building my engine right now with a large street port and no emissons any way i can't wait to get my car back. These guys know there stuff and willing to help out in anyway with a smile on there face , I trust them with my baby and easy on the pockets(not mine since it was not a good core ).

I would like to learn myself but too lazy and have no moneys left.

 

Thanks for the props guys. I couldnt do it without Ihor, we're a two man team

Oh, and I've heard great stuff about Chris Rogers as well

 

They do some nice work over at Makers. I visited their Fukuoka branch for a few days, and got to see them work. They are not really famous for their "parts", but their eye to detail is great. I test drove a 2001 Rx7 at Makers too

 

Or maybe get Mazdaspeed in on it???

 

I am pretty sure they do not build engines for the public, only sponsor'd cars and racing teams.

 

i only know 2 guys that have had personal experience with Rotary Power and neither were good.

 

I haven't had any experience with their parts but i know that i went in there not speaking much japanese and they were very helpfull, didn't charge much for their work, and had all the things i asked for done in like 45min.

I have replace almost all the stock interior parts, for new stock interior parts, through them for about 250$

 

If we're dreaming why not dream for the best? haha
