Need a Boston mechanic

I need a reliable Boston area mechanic. This car is seriously starting to get me frustrated and I'm having a hard time finding a mechanic that knows rx7's that'll pick up the phone/return a message.

I know a guy in Stamford, CT who might be willing, he used to be the tuner/fabricator and mechanic at Speed1. He's not cheap though and has a small waiting list... What do you need done?

Well, like I said-need someone that'll pick up the phone/return a message.

Did you get ahold of Brian? (keep in mind, DGRR just happened, so you may have a lag time from shops/people getting stuff buttoned up in prep for the event).

Not yet. I'm weighing my options considering the tow down to Stamford will cost a good amount of $$$'s.

Gotcha... Yeah, are you renting a trailer and pulling it yourself, or hiring a tow company?

Well, renting a trailer and truck w/b cheaper but still at least $300-$400, so I'm trying to at least get it running up here first. If no go, then I'll have to take the hit.

What stinks is that I know it's something simple-a tuning issue, I just haven't been able to dial it in yet.

I really cant say enough great things about dana and synaptic 3 in new hampshire. The care and level of professionalisn, courtesy and respect is amazing. Dana has worked on and tuned my cars over 10 years

Lui owns that shop, but it's not his fulltime job - hence not answering the phone. He is, however, super helpful. His day job is at Kaizen.

Granite State Dyno has lots of tuning experience as well as rotaries.
