moving to colorado
 

Just found out I'm going to Colorado. Any good places to get my 7 tuned that is well known. I have alot of modifications.

None that I know of. There used to be two good shops but one mysteriously vanished and the other guy decided to work on Porsches instead. Get ready to do your own tinkering!

are you serious? from one place to the other.. How hard is it to find a Rotary mechanic. looks like i wll be traveling.
thanks.

I got here in 09 but just came back from a deployment back in july. There are a couple of shops out here man so you should be straight. What unit are you coming to? I'm in 1st brigade 4th ID.

There aren't any shops out here I'd trust to work on an FD, from a mechanical perspective. However, MAC Autosport out in Parker does tuning. They don't specialize is rotary cars, but the tuner there used to own an FD and supposedly does good work.

Beware of MAC, they did some damage to a friend's FD. There is a reason the guy who owned one sold it...

Yeah, I've heard good and bad things about MAC. What happened to your friend's FD? Never heard bad things about their tuning except that their dyno produces artificially high numbers. I thought the tuner sold it because he wanted something different...? Don't know him personally or anything, that's just what I heard. However I don't know if I'd trust my FD to get tuned there just because of how special they are...

are u pcsing to ft carson?

check this forum colorado mazda http://www.coloradomazdaclub.com/forums/index.php

A great place to go is MAC auto sports, There located in parker, colorado.

anyone drives their FD in the winter?

FD stays in the garage hibernating

even my SA is hibernating slicks, welded diff and a big turbo not good for winter

What about pfi?

I was doing some research on Vechicle inspections, and I read we have to get smog checked? is that right? I have a 93 Rx7 FD highly modified. No way in hell, will I pass in emissions. Can someone give me some adivce what can I do? Going to Peterson AFB.

There is no smog test in colorado springs.

from what i read about Peterson AFB's vechicle registration. It says vechicle's will be tested. is that true of not?
Oscar

I don't know if this applies to Peterson but in Fort Carson you don't to register your vehicle anymore. Even when you had to smog test wasn't required.

hopefully I will be ok.
Thanks
Oscar

no smog testing in CO springs. I drive my rx7 in the winter on nice days...just to keep it running.

I don't think there is many places to tune......I suggest trying to get a group together and flying Steve Kahn out and tuning all our cars.......

not a bad idea. i first need to finish working out the bugs with my car.
thanks
