my engine rebuild
just to give a quick back ground. i bought my fd almost 4 years ago, 100% stock running great. last year after a very bad chain of events with a mazda dealer. this past spring i had to tow my non-running, leaking every thing fd to banzai racing (3hr. 45min.).i was told by two fd owners, they were the best around. chris and elaine were great to work with and they give great advise. by early summer and few mods i was pulling 338rwhp, but the best part is what happend last week and is why i am writing this today. two weeks ago i was down for some tunning and i thought the car was running great, better than ever. after tuning chris was not happy about my idle, he made some adjustments and told me to keep an eye on it and to come back asap so he could look in to it a little more. i returnd the next week with spark plug wire chris suggested by email i should up grade, that might fix the idle that i thought was fine. after 20min. of testing he told me he was going to pull and rebuild my engine. i almost s**t myself, i told him he was crazy and to check again. he told me it had to be done and it was all under warranty. i got the car back and it is better than ever. the point to all of this is, after all the problems i had with mazda and all the problems i hear poeple having with other shops even just getting parts. it really nice to know someone still will do the right thing, take pride in their work and be truthful. chris and elaine are the best! you couldnt pay me to go any were else.
