He doesn’t post here, so I am posting this for him:

Shop's address is:
VIP Tuning & Auto Service
1524 F Spring Hill Road
McLean, VA 22102
703 883 0403

He can do any basic maintenance for all generation RX-7 and RX-8. He can also tune for AFR with wideband.

He has tunning software for AEM and Power-FC.

He also has a fender-rolling tool locally.
Ditto re: deeepdezal's sentiments, I posted him at his old shop z-auto in laurel, md . Dante at z-auto does alright with some work on 3rd gens, he owns a 2nd gen.

I waited a few years and 20,000 miles for this recommendation.

I'll personally recommend Gibby Dobson for turbo rebuilding. I interviewed Gibby 7 years ago to clean and map my fuel injectors for my rx-7, well he didn't have the adapters for my odd foreign gasoline car as he services the diesel industry. He cleaned them but wasn't able to map, I don't think he charged me. He took me on a tour of his shop, he specializes in diesel pumps, injectors and turbos, it was impressive, I knew I had a good guy.

3 years later, I had him rebuild my twin turbos. 4 years and 20,000 miles ago and still good boost. They came back cleaned and painted, very professional and priced competitively.

I think they require that you pull the part off your vehicle and they do ship nationally.

FOR ALL YOU UPSTATE NY RX7 OWNERS:

After making quite a few phone calls to shops in the Capital District in the Fall when I needed to get my 7 on a lift to change the drivetrain, I found a fairly new shop that was actually willing to work on a rotary. They are fairly familiar with RX7's from having a couple lifelong 7-enthusiast friends who aren't with us anymore (they both drove 2nd gens) and definitely got very excited when I brought mine in. So if you need any work done and want to give them a shot, call and mention I sent you. My experience there was definitely worthwhile.

Have a good one

If anyone is in DE I recommend

http://cabaynes.com/

I bought a car from Charlie and Dan recently. I should be able to pick up the car within the month. Before I purchased though, they drove the car all the way to NJ to get it compression tested by Ihor.

The engine is a rebuilt JDM that they did themselves. They told me that when they got the engine, it was in really bad shape. They worked hard to clean and rebuild the engine and it shows.

The compression test results were very impressive. I believe the front ranged from 120 - 122 and the read from 119 - 121, I forgot the exact numbers. I think everyone was quite impressed. These guys really love their 7s and it shows.

Thanks for the car fellas!
