Very cool. Your car was difficult; I had to re-learn some of the MT stuff I hadn't messed with in quite awhile.

It will spank LS-1's. I hav'nt gone past 13psi yet but it pulls much harder than it used to, smoother in all other ranges. It is actually fun to drive it again. When you get your car together, you would be wise to let Brian tune it.

I would have to say that my car is running really well also. I beat the **** out of it last night and it held up great. I am having a cold start issue, but I think Brian said he could solve it over the phone.

I was very pleased with the tuning session, and was great meeting Brian. I think street tuning is the way to go for reliability.


Now I just need to hit up the drag strip/dyno to see what she has in her for #'s.

Thumbs up

I stopped by the shop during my lunch break today and was very impressed! They greeted me as soon as I walked in the door and was very willing to help me out, even though I hadn't opened my mouth yet! The show room was very clean (as was the work shop!) just as the pictures show . If only I can remember what all their names were (I'm horrible when it comes to that)!

Hopefully I'll be able to bring my '94 RX-7 down so that they can help me out with an appraisal.

These guys are very professional and I wish them the best!

~Nelson

BTW, anybody know how much a MINT '94 RX-7 touring model 5spd manual (all stock condition) is worth with only 12,000 miles (color is Silver Stone with Red Leather)? Any help is appreciated! Thanks.

About $5,000 and sell it to me. ???

I could see a car with those miles in near perfect condition going for mid to low 20's

I realize that it is low miles but how is the condition, ie. running or not, interior faded, and suspension.
