Need a rotary tech in Southern Indiana

I've called around and Evansville, IN seems to be completely empty of rotary techs. I don't know enough to trust my own opinion and often times don't even know enough to have an opinion. Most often when things go wrong I poke and prod, do some reading and hope for a divine epiphany to enlighten me.

Does anyone know of a shop in Southern Indiana that can do rotary work? My next call tomorrow is my local Mazda dealership.

Chris ludwig! A little farther than evansville though, he's in clarksville, I live in louisville ky but i have hardly any time for side jobs right now. If you took it to oxmoor mazda in louisville the guy there (joe) is very good with RX-7s, also a guy named Jamie lives in palmyra does side jobs, he has (or had) a PT-68 FC and knows his stuff very well. I could ask him if he could do something for you on the side, pm me for more info if you need it.

Don't take it to the dealership! I made that mistake once, never again. I only take my car to Banzai Racing in Pierceton, IN . http://www.banzai-racing.com/ It takes me just under 4 hours to get there but it worth it. Check them out before you take your car anywhere.
Good luck

Hey man take your car here..... www.banzai-racing.com!!!!!! I live in evansville and just got my 1993 FD back and it is running amazing. Chris and Elaine do a fantastic job with pics and updates like crazy. They also know there stuff. It is a little bit of a drive, but it will save you in the long run!!!!!! Questions let me know.

Thanks for all the input and PMs, much apreciated!!

I've just been frustrated enough with the car that I'm taking a break from dealing with it, for fear of driving it into the Ohio River and calling my insurance agent and saying "Ooooppssie"

Don't even call Mazda about RX-7's here in Evansville, lol. They don't have anybody that specializes in rotaries.

Thanks for the replies, got an appt. set with Banzai. It's a drive but I hear that it's well worth it.
