Banzai Racing

You will have a hard time finding a shop that can not only build a great engine but also has great customer service. You get the best of both with Banzai Racing.
Chris has years of experience with all rotary kinds of rotary motors and set ups. from stock maintenance to extreme Horsepower, all at once or in stages. You tell him what you want and he tells you the best way to get there. Chris also has a great line on products he designed and makes. All at top quality and great price.

Now for customer service, cant forget about Elaine. She does a great job of keeping everything on track with schedule, orders in and out, shipping and the phone call. She make sure you don't ever ordered a part online just to find out a week later when you call that they didn't get your order, then they tell you its in stock but two weeks later you still don't have it. My favorite is when I was told that my FD was different for all the other FD's and that's why a part didn't fit. Elaine makes sure you get tracking numbers and updates if there is a problem so you are not just waiting.

There are a lot of people that build engines, but for me there is only one full service shop that I would trust with my car.
Check out the link in my signature , everyone gets one with a build.

If I wasn't able to do it myself. Mike Janousek He did a motor for me and I was extremely pleased by it. I would go to him again without any doubt.
So why you selling your FD, AGAIN? lol

I'd get mine done at RP Performance in Northern Virginia. I say that because the motor I am running on right now was rebuilt there a couple owners ago (in 2003) and when I just had her compression checked by re:worx at the end of Feb it read (rear) 8.9, 8.9, 9.0 (front) 8.7, 8.7, 8.6... Call me crazy but thats not too shabby for an engine with almost 5 years under her belt..

Thanks Chris,

Danny

I have a white 94 that is in many pieces in the garage. Its getting some very "serious" stuff done to it and I really need the money to finish the project before summer time. I have 100's of pics so far on the progress on it. Its moving along quickly now. But now its time for the big ticket items my paychecks can't exactly cover before summer gets here.

Its going to be a beauty. I've been planning this "build" for four years now...

If I can't sell the black FD, I will have to keep it and put the white FD back to stock.

That answer your question?

if you stay in california I would go with Jeff at rotary power. but all the above are great shops. I think tripoint was good back in the days but loosing points now because of high prices and new techs in the shop.
