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 don't necessarily have a shop, but there is a guy in Muskegon that works at My Auto Import Center named Steve Dewitt....he went to school for three years just on the Rx7....he's great. And he even takes beer as payment...LOL.

AJT 08-24-02 06:31 PM

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.

jr69187 08-27-02 06:51 PM

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.

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.

I will 100% agree with you on this one they work miracles there. my car was fucked up from another shop and i mean fucked. i can't say the shop name yet because i'm sueing them, and decided to go to the rx7 store and give zavier and jason a shot at fixing my car. i will say 100% worth the 7 hour drive out there. (the only thing i can say is the other shop that fucked my car up, is the owner has man tits and is a crook as well as a liar) But out here we have a nick name for him MR. Hankie just like south park he's a walking talking piece of shit. that i can't wait to see oh boy talk about an ass whooping

Hello, My name is Omar J. Mena the owner of OJIMPORTS.COM rotary engine builders and general maintenance. We are located in McAllen Texas (south Texas). Like other rotary builders, we offer anything from standard engine builds, to the common MONSTER STREET PORTED engines. We do offer one unique job that almost no rotary engine builder I have seen offers and that is to bench flow a rotary!Our flow bench is a super flow and we have custom made all adapters and block offs to precisely flow all model rotary engines. Port/polish/flow work really pays off compared to an eye ball port job. Turbulance created by unequal port flow is practically eliminated and hp numbers are significantly raised. Call OJIMPORTS @ 956 739 6362 if you would like some hard to find port flowing done on your rotary. (Over 8yrs of professional rotary engine building.)

Hello Fellow RX7 Enthusiasts,

Let me take a moment to introduce myself… Many of you know me as Indyparts. For those of you who don’t, my name is Rick Hawley, and I, with a little help from my friends, have been providing the Rx7 community with parts for nearly 10 years. However, like all great small ventures, it has come time to expand. Allow me to introduce, Rick’s Speed Shop. We are in construction phase of this endeavor that should be in full production during the Spring of 2008. The shop is based in Winchester, Indiana and has plenty of space for expansion. Our mission will be to continue to provide quality parts and great service for a fair price.

Over the course of the many years, Indyparts has accumulated over 50+ FC shells with a handful of FB and FD shells as well. The availability to find that one part “To make your baby purrr” will not change, but we decided to expand into other areas as well. I, Rick, often have many “irons in the fire” or “balls in the air,” pick your cliché – realized Indyparts need some help. Rick’s speed shop would like to welcome Mike Smith. Mike has substantial FB and FC experience under his belt. In addition he is currently working on his project which is a Rotary powered Mazda B2000 pickup. You can see more information on this at the website. Mike will be heading up the parts sales from this point forward and getting acclimated with the current inventory. If you need anything specific for your Mazda (specifically 86-91) please get in touch with him. We are excited about bringing him on and hope that he will be able to assist the community.

Going forward, we plan to branch out past parts sales and work towards engineering custom parts specifically for the 2nd / 3rd Generation Mazda Rx7. In addition, we plan to start a powder coating service with core return. With the broad amount of parts we already have inventory, exchange service should keep things simple. Look for custom cars being built for customers as well. Who knows where it will end :-)

If you have any questions, please feel free to email me.

I specialize in 1st gens, all aspects of repair, rebuild or replace. I can, will work on any rotary but refuse to touch the engine bay of 3rd gens.

I built a single stall garage, with a pit, a few years ago just to work on my 7s. Most of my work comes from the Kansas City area but have done work for members as far away as Canada. Not only do I do most any mechanical repairs/upgrades you may need, I also do restoration/preservation work for those that want keep or bring thier 7 back to a new condition. This includes sandblasting, painting, powdercoating and fiberglass work.

For those not familiar with my work, the following link shows part of my widebody build project. https://www.rx7club.com/build-threads-293/unvieling-12a-bp-widebody-462184/

My pricing is fair and I never hurry a job simply to get it finished. All work is done with the same care and detail as if it were my own.

Scott.
