While I have no idea as to their reputation there is a place called "Made in Japan" on southern Eubank between I-40 and Central that "say" they specialize in mazdas. I have heard rumors that there is some old guy (if he is still there) that does work on rotaries.

Is there any place that rotary people hang out each week? I'm home for another 2 weeks and would like to go to a car hang out to meet and greet some people.

I'm down for any of those months as long as it doesn't conflict with a race weekend.

I try not to let work and school pour over into my weekends, but sometimes it's unavoidable. That was the first weekend that my FC was back on the road since September. Now it's dirty, smelly, loud, and possibly has an intake leak. Still nice to have it back though...I might even race it at a few SCCA events.

Yeah I heard of that place too. It's actually near my work on Eubank near Central. The original owner of my red FB used to take it to them. In fact when the original motor blew, they were the ones who put in a new motor. They didn't rebuild it, they just put in a new one.

Ever since Tom told me he was going to leave, I took it upon myself to really brush up on doing stuff on my own. It seems to be the case for a few of us now since there is no "real" rotary shop in town.

Sometimes that is the best way to get things done, and get it done right.

Interesting,, that's the second good thing I've heard about them. Sounds like I may give them a shot.
