I have a friend or a friend in Pittsburgh who needs to find a good auto shop (preferably one with a lot of experience with rotary engines) near his area. His third gen needs to have an engine put in it (I believe all the necessary parts have been purchased, he just needs help with the assembly/putting it in)-- any suggestions?

 

PFS is in frederick its about 2 1/2 hrs away, there is the RX7store in ohio, and i think KDR is around somewhere in PA.

 

Does anyone else have any more suggestions of places close to Pittsburgh? I am having a no spark issue and could really use some extra help without towing it hundreds of miles.

Thanks

 

You could try this place. It's in Washington, PA, abut 30 min south of Pittsburgh. Did a nice rebuild on my 1st gen engine, Unfortunately, they put a Racing Beat Holley carb on and couldn't get it to run right. He has more experience with the fuel injected RX-7s.

Your friend should absolutely discuss how long service will take before leaving the car there.

Alternatively he could seek out the West Penn Mazda Club on facebook. Dale used to race 3rd gens.

 

I checked out west penn mazda group and only saw miatas...I will see if I can find Dale to ask his opinion. I would love to get my hands dirty and fix it myself, but electronics are not my forte.
