In cincinnati: International Performance Motorworks does really nice work and (as unbelievable as it sounds) King's Mazda has a guy that knows how to work on 7's *Wow* He's done some stuff for me before...

In Columbus: Passen Motorsports... The guy there that does most(all) the rx7 work is named JJ and he's excellent with 7's as well... all the guys there are cool as hell too...

I have to back Boost 7's pick for the Rotary Doctor. One of the most knowledgeable rotary guys out there and extremely fairly priced. He's usually very busy (as any good rotary mechanic should be) but is one of two or three people I'd let touch my FD in this state.

The rotary doctor is the best around here. I've a got a 12a form it i've got almost 20k on it and it runs so good. And it was a good price and he was so easy and offers such a good warranty. there is just not enough room for me to rant about what this man can do. If you need anything to reinforce this take a ride in my 1st gen. I'm not to sure what has been done to the motor but it can put alot more cars in thier place than most 1st gens.

Shane will need to work on parking strategy for visitors, as one of his buddies, Jorge Sanchez, hit my parked car while Jorge was backing out. Jorge has promised to pay for damages, but so far has NOT returned my calls/pages after I've provided the estimate for the repairs?

They moved. They are now at 2024 Yost Ave. Bloomington, IN 47404. You guys need to really check his place out!! He has new membership deal going on where there is a 30 dollar monthly membership fee and you get ANY parts he can get at HIS COST! He does very good work. If any of you guys are around check out his shop, the R1 Blue RX-7 is awesome! He specializes in rotaries but can do any imports. He's doing a Mazda Mirage right now... swapping in an Lancer Evo VI engine and all wheel drive tranny! He's working on my 1990 Nissan Maxima and getting it ready for the turbo engine that is swapped in there. He's working on my friend's Datsun 280z and putting in a VG30DET in it, and many other things. He does great work and he is very awesome guy to deal with. Check out his site at www.jandhracing.com.

Good dealership with Rotary Trained mechanic. Had my 1988 FC serviced there more than once. Good people. I lived in Sault Ste. Marie, MI, so it was just a short drive away. Recommended for anyone who owns a RX7 in Northern MI.
