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.

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

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 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.

You won't be disappointed.

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???

Miata_mx5

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.

finneymc

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$
