Depending on how busy adam is. I can pop in now and then to give you updates. I help around the shop for time to time. Jim is a real good mechanic so your car is in good hands.

Adam should tear his car apart..... and rebuild that would be sweet.. but before that he should Dyno it once just for some knowledge fo where he is sitting right now for power.....

i was there a few weeks ago picking up some flywheel dowel pins for a shop that i'm getting a Job at in Red Deer "Light Speed Inovations" they are building a new shop and said that when their new shop is built they will take me on as a apprentice A.S.T. (Automotive Service Technician, for those who dont know)

i'm hyped, until then i'm gonna try to make some money.......


i want to see that White FD..... you should stop by my work.... lol

i wanna see some of the FD's in the area..... have to hook up with you guys some time.... but untill then...

Since the May long weekend as come and gone, I'm curious to know how the car is running after the work done to it from RX-7 Specialities? Hopefully all is well.

I drove past the other day, and they had all the FD's pulled out front. I didn't know that place could hold so many cars.

Get used to towing your RX-7 around on a trailer. thats about all it's gonna do once thier done with it. i've been towing mine around from shop to shop for over 2 years now after they rebuilt mine. they got my cash and that was it. there's a whole lot more of the story too. you should take it to mazda when you get it back and get a compression test. if it's under 100 psi on a 3rd gen, it needs a rebuild. my "new" engine came in at 70 psi. Adam will tell you that cranking compression doesn't matter.... how else are you supposed to do a compression test? this is the guy doing your car. i wish you good luck, hope you have'nt paid for it yet...

uh...oooooooooohhhhh. sounds like trouble. when you get your car back with the engine compression at 60psi i'll race you for pink slips in this wheelchair. i'll win becuse the wheelchair will work so you may aswell hand your keys over now. you have no idea what painful experience lies ahead for you now.
