MN RX7 shop!!! FNR! Specialize in RX7 Come check out the shop just opened in Aug 1st.

Hi guys I work at FNR in Burnsville. We just opened in Aug 1st. We are trying to spread the word out for rotary fans and owners that we have opened this shop specializing in rx7's. We also work on any othe make and model cars.

The shop opens from 10am to 7pm Monday-Friday and 12-6 on saturday.
Every Wednesdays are Hang out BBQ night after shop hours till when ever everyone wants to go home.

We have a two wheel dyno jet at the shop for those who are interested in dynoing their cars.

We work on first gens, 2nd gen, 3rd gen rx7 to rx8's. We do them all.

What we can do to YOUR rotary motor :

Monster ports
stock rebuilds to race rebuilds.
We also have stud kits to stud your motors and machine your irons and housing to fit them.
wiring ecu management systems into your car.
3 rotor conversions in any rx7
any thing you want to know just ask.
Also we do stereo's to sound systems to custom boxes, tinting windows, alarms and more.

We stock lots of aftermarket parts for cars and performance turbo's to gauges, exhausts.... ect... if you need it we can order it. Just give us a call.

Directions:
address is 1203 Cliff Road E, Burnsville 55337
We are off of High way 35E South on Cliff Road Exit.
If coming from Saint Paul you would take a Right when exiting out of highway 35.

We dont have any 13bt engine for sale But we are gonna order like 3 of each motor to hold in stock such as. 12a, 13b, 13b NA, 13b REW, 13bREW cosmo, 20b D series. But as for the 13bt irons and housing and rotor's we do have those and lots of them in stock " USED" and if you want new we can order them new also But Im sure you dont want New cause the price is alot. let me know what else I can help you with. thanks.

Missed this thread back in August. Nice to hear about a new rotary specialty shop. Tough business times, but good luck. I have family in Minneapolis, I may have to pay a visit sometime.

Congrats!

I wish I had these kinda shops around when I had the rotary, alot of the reason I switched was because the lack of a shop in the area that could do tuning.

Can you give any estimates on tuning?

1989 FC TII

The car in question is running a rebuilt street ported 13B, something close to a 60:1 turbo, Haltech E6K, RB exhaust, all the cooling/reliability stuff. Upgraded fuel pump, 550cc primaries, 1000cc secondaries.

It is currently running a base map and takes a while for it to stay running when you are starting it from the cold. It would need a good, drive-able tune with conservative AFRs. A nice cold start is a MUST.

to tune your car it will be approx $300 thats tune and dyno time.

sorry for the late reply but yes if you bring in your irons we can port them for you and as for the price come in and be can set a deal price for you. depends on what kind of ports you want to be done to it. and for the tint it will start at 60 bucks for one window.

Free? That is asking a lot. I don't know about new customers. Shops have gone out of business after doing MANY of the cheep, not free, dyno days. It's a tough market. Around here people either work on their own stuff or can't afford to pay others to do it....

That said, i am interested in buying dyno time from you.
