depends what you consider a good price
but the guy I've taken both my FD and FC to for clutches owns a shop called All Car Specialty on Jacque St. the number is in the book
any place that does clutches normally can handle a RX-7 clutch install

Checkout the local Richmond threads, most of the rotary guys know each other around here. C'mon down to the Starbucks on Forest Ave, every Friday night around 8:00 there is an informal car meet - always a couple 7's, Evo's, STi's, Miata's, we have a regular Lotus Elise attendee, you never what'll show up. It's a nice low key meet, no cops, no ricers, just coffee and car talk.
Or you can find us at any of the VMSC or NASA sponsored autocrosses.

Oh and if you have any major work to get done, there a shop on the southside called Mitchum Enterprises, he's just of Midlothian on Research Rd, he's NASA's chief tech inspector for the east coast, he builds spec racecars and has a bunch of junker FB's and FC's
Doesn't work on FD's unfortunately for me
