Not that I know of, he only does parts.
The closest shop in the area I know of is FTW, I'm not sure if they're still open or not. It was started up by some Mazda techs with rotary backgrounds a few years ago. Here is a link to the FB page:

Let me know if they're still open, I'm curious.

Thanks! Judging from their FB I'd say they're still open. I'll confirm and let you know though.

The left is hidden by the protective rubber boot. IIRC if you can get under your car this shouldn't be a problem. Good luck.

I sent you a text, I have an extra set of Tein coil overs. I'm unsure of the condition, they are from the black TII I parted out.

They're my spare set, you never know when something is going to break, or when you are going to have a driving mistake.

It's used for a couple of things, in the automotive world, is used on mechanical fluid gauges, in order to isolate the cabin from engine fluids, like fuel and oil.

Couple of pics of popular automotive gauge isolators:




I want to test one not for its fluid isolation, but its possible dampening capabilities. Don't want to spend over $75 for a new one, if its not going to "damper" the fluid.

They sound like a great idea, but I obviously don't have one .

On another note, does anyone have a bead roller, or know someone who does?

I blew the same charge pipe coupling apart twice on the way home today. I need to get some T-bolts to replace the worm gear clamps and the pipes at the coupling were cut and are missing the bead.
I know Harbor Freight sells one, but I've read it's not that great.

just weld some lines around the outside of the pipe, it'll hold the clamp in place.

I made a super ghetto bead tool using these instructions. You're welcomed to use it if you want, I've had no problems with the results.

That's some cool improvising! I will probably take you up on that when it warms up a bit. The car is now benched for a while. I'm averaging 7 mpg and I hate working in the cold. My GTUs is taking up one garage space and my wife's car has the other until it warms up enough for her to move back out.

Thanks for the tip too, Mike. Unfortunately I still don't have the means to use my welder :P
