Steve Kan is coming back to St.Louis this winter for some tuning. Let me know if you're in.

Best around.

While our services are more than $350 now but not quite $800 theres some things that are included in that price that make it more than $350 such as:

1. Compression Test
2. Oil and Filter change
3. Replace Spark Plugs wth OEM NGK (or colder)
4. Replace Air Filter (if needed)
5. Load Test Alternator
6. Inspect Belts
7. Inspect Drivetrain
8. Inspect for Oil leaks
9. Inspect Boost Controller and Test
10. Inspect for Boost Leaks
11. Inspect/check coolant.. hydrometer
12. Dyno Time on our In-house Dynojet
13. Finally...EMS and boost controller tuning

what we try to do is make sure everything is in "tuneable" condition before we start ... so you can see we do a little more than your typical EMS logging and correcting. People sometimes forget the 93-95 RX-7 is an "older" Japanese sports car with numerous complex systems in the car that needs ALOT of attention

have a great day!
