colorado mechanics?

Hey everybody, I'm back again. I am originally from Canon city co, and currently live in albuqurrque nm. When I bought my fd, she wasn't running to great, and I had to put a lot of money in her to get her running. Afterwards I deemed her up for the drive to Colorado to get her registered at my home of record in Canon. She blew her coolant seal 70 miles from Canon and I pulled over and had to get a trailer and friend to tow me the rest of the way. As it sits, she needs fixed. I searched the forms and most of the rotary mechanics recommend on here aren't around anymore. (I called every one I could find) precision is the only one open, and I've seen some people posting not to go there. Do we have any more options? I have an rx8 also, ky friend is lending me his jetta to get back to abq, then I'm getting a friend there to drive my rx8 back to Canon so I can get the jetta back. So I'm good on a car while the 7 is getting fixed. My brother is going to get a trailer and tow the 7 wherever it can get fixed, I'm trying to avoid the dealer BTW. Any options would be a great help!!

Eh, takin it to precision. He knew what he was doing when I called and talked to him. 3200 bucks, and that's if all my parts are good... Sucks it just had a rebuild 20k ago from rotary rx in albuquerque. Oh well huh?

CO

I just moved here to the springs area but there is a meet up of rotary heads. None are mechanics but are all DIY'ers so they might be the ones to talk to. I know the FC's fairly well but never worked on a FD. Good Luck

Ouch, that would be one crazy drive. Abq to Canon city, grabbing the truck, towing the 7 from Canon to Texas, then back to Canon city to drop off the truck n trailer, then back to abq.

I am a mechanic at a shop in Boulder CO I am currently rebuilding my TII block to swap in my 89 GTU I am always glad to help a rotary enthusiast. I am very limited on time though since I am always working at the shop and barely have time to even work on my own stuff.
