London Ontario, anyone??

Hey this really sucks ***. I moved from Windsor (right across from Detroit for everyone who doesn't know), where I had my pick of great rotary guys across the river. Now I'm in London, Ontario. I've only ever seen one other FD in London in the 20 years I've been spending time in this city. I am assuming there's no reasonable shop for me anywhere between Detroit and Toronto. Am I right????

You'd be dead wrong! Go North, up hwy 4. RPM- Rotary Performance and Maintenance.

RPM is actually on this forum. Mapquest "Walkerton", that's where he is.

Aside from that, I (Rx7 owner) live just up in Exeter.

And re:silver FDs in Windsor..yeah you probably know the guy who's the part's manager at BMW...Binny is his name....we've met with our cars before.....he had his first...I just got my FD last July so it didn't see the Windsor roads too too many times....I think I did leave my mark though haha...those sweeping ramps on the EC ROW made for great practice for handling......DAMN!....

RPM is all about rotaries. I believe his biggest business is in rebuilding rotaries. Not sure about tuning though. I haven't personally dealt with him, but the guy seems real nice.

Also, I'm from Chatham, half way between london and windsor.

YES!, that was my car, I lived on monmouth like 2 houses in from ottawa, there was also a guy on monmouth closer to wyandotte that had a 10th anniversary in his garage, but I moved down near wyandotte and jefferson last year. Dont have the rx7 anymore though.
