I'm up in Cranberry. I just got my '93 R1 back on the road after sitting in the garage for 3 years. I was kind of shocked that it started up with two turns of the key after putting in a new battery.
I just got it back from replacing all the fluids at Billco. The fact that I had to tell them what was in a 60K service ("too old for our computers") and they had to order plugs and fuel filter for a second visit tells me they aren't going to be a go-to for work beyond standard maintenance. In fact, having done that pesky FF myself last time, it will be interesting to see how they do.
I had KD Rotary do a bunch of work many years ago, and I thin I read that they are now Speed1, still near Allentown. I don't think I ever found anyone closer. There was rumored to be "a guy" in Pittsburgh somewhere, but I never found him and that was years ago.

I don't think I've ever seen any FDs running around this area. I live in Cranberry as well. Hopefully I'll see it eventually.

I'm in Washington. There's a guy who used to own/work at Sevenspeed. He works out of a little shop up the road from me. There's 3 or 4 FCs sitting out front all the time. Heard he does great work. PM me and I'll get you some info if you'd like.
If you don't know, Washington is 25-30 mins south of Pittsburgh down 79.

He should be fine working on a '91. I wouldn't bring him anything with a carburator. He has mixed reviews on the speed with which he completes work.
You might want to hook up with the West Penn Mazda Club (Formerly the West Penn RX-7 Club). They are having a meeting Saturday, Oct. 8 at the North Park Lounge Clubhouse on Rt.8 at 3:30.
Here is the link to their website:

We will meet at the Sheetz at Rt 8 & Hardies Road at 11:00, then pick up members on the turnpike in Monroeville and Irwin, where exit and head for the scenery. Those meeting in Monroeville will stage at the Lowe's parking lot and hit the turnpike when the Sheetz group calls in.
