RX7Store Reputable for Engines?

I was looking at the stage3 motor and was happy with the cost. Compared to other places i've checked out, they seem to be the cheapest. Could anyone shed some light on these guys letting me know if they do good work?

I like the mods added to the engine already with RX7Store. Pineapple costs more for a plain stock rebuilt engine. Now i know it's better quality but i'd like some mods done. I don't want to end up spending more than 5k on a motor.

Thank in advance,

-Walt

Well.. If you compare.. Pineapple's rebuild costs that much because they always use new housings.
If you add those onto your engine, the pineapple rebuild is about the same price with a bridgeport..

Actually... rx7store: $4100, Pineapple: $4045
and rx7store isn't really clear if they are bridgeporting or just doing a large street port..[We'll assume it is a bridgeport though]

Hmmm... Or do you not want new housings on an engine that needs to carry *extra* power?

Btw, I'm just using what both of them have on their websites.. If prices have changed.. Well, not harm mentioning this ^_-

Wally! What is happening brother.

Watch a rebuild video and rebuild it yourself. It is well worth the education.

I'M NOT BLACK!!!!!!!

All i can say is you get what you pay for when it comes to parts. I've never dealt with them, but you want to make sure you got good parts in it. I say for having someone build it for you, go to Lopi at Import Auto here in Tumwater. He will make sure the parts are good or he won't build it.
