So, I am currently in the market for a late model 300zx/supra/rx7.

Right now, I'm leaning towards an RX-7. I've found two cars(94's) that are likely candidates, but all advice points to making sure you have a local shop that is talented with working on these.

For my part, I'm pretty handy with cars(went to trade school for auto, and worked as a mechanic in a caddy/gmc/olds/pontiac dealer for 7 years through senior HS all they way through college). We even spent a week learning the Wankel in school.

anyhow...

My issue is time, I can deal with most things, but these things are not altogether the same a piston engine

So my question. Are there any Hartford area shops that know what's what when wrenching on these? There is at least 1 mazda dealer in hartford, do they have a clue?

Thanks!

 

Theres a super top secreat one that people talk about but don't realy tell anyone about in that area.

 

So, are you being serious, or is this n00B taunting?

 

Serious, this guy always talks about his friends shop, but never tells anyone where it is. He says he has to keep it a secreat!

 

it is an ancient chinese secret and it is the best shop

 

heheh.

ok man, that sucks Never meet a mechanic or a shop that didn't want more customers, but to each their own.

 

it has too many as it is.....no point in taking in work it cannot complete and make the customer 100% happy
