Hartford area techs

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!
