Visited Pettit Racing recently...(pics inside)

Hello Everyone! About a month ago I visited Pettit Racing to pickup a rebuild they had for me. I only stayed with them for 2 days, but could have stayed another week. I learned so many things while I was down there that have saved me alot of time on putting the engine back into the car. They were nice enough to check what I had brought down with me (UIM, LIM, wiring harness, solenoids, injectors, etc...) and helped me put absolutely everything I had onto the new rebuild. They let me loose on their parts cleaner for my UIM, LIM, TB, and other miscellaneous parts I had brought with me. I even helped out with a rebuild and reinstall they were doing. It was a very fun experience. I will say that the shop they have there is excellent and the way they maintain it is even better. I have many stories with me from this visit that I'll be glad to share with anyone who is interested, but I'll save that for now. This was by-far the best, and most worthwhile trip I have taken in quite some time. I will definately recommend Pettit Racing to anyone who has a 3rd generation RX-7. Don't get me wrong, I am not advertising for them at all, just recommending. The service and quality that goes along with their name is oustanding! I have some pictures I would like to post from my trip. Thank you for your time, I just thought I would share my wonderful experience!

when I walked in, I met Paul and he introduced me to Kandy and she showed me this...

hahaha, man I liked that limo also. That side hatch door there doesn't even have a latch

oh and Leprechaun...let's just say that you can call them up and get a quote. I'd probably get sick again if I showed the receipt

I've got a few more pictures to go

here's one of their banzai 3-rotor black FD, the one with the 2 silver stripes down the middle. Sorry, I didn't want to ask to take the cover off. I have around 250 pictures so if you want to see something I'll search through them and see if I can find it. Thanks for your time! And again, great people down there!

Jack

It's good to see a positive post when someone deserves it! Everyone is allways motivated to post bad stuff and it takes alot more effort to post a good experience. With that said ...holy crap I wanna hump that engine like a horny puppy on Ms. Americas leg! Hey, I think that puppy has the same idea! So that's the girl I spoke to on the phone? Hey puppy, off her leg! I think the Limo should be a 4-rotor. Thanks for sharing
