As stated above or Bryan at RotorSports Racing in Kannapolis outside of Charlotte NC. Both are very reputable good shops. Can't really say I know of anyone down East.

Yep!

RotorSports Racing
704-933-6222

Bryan rebuilt my engine and did a lot of other work to the car a little over 7 years or so ago. I've been "abusing" it ever since and never had a problem. He's not cheap or fast but he does damn good work and stands behind it.

I can help you out if you like. I am not a "shop" per say here in NC but I was a shop in Hawaii before I moved back. I live in Denver ( Lake Norman)

PM me( If you can yet) with more info and we'll see if I can help you out.

Also besides Rotorsports ( great guy BTW) there is also Intense Motorsports.( Same name here on the forum) He is in Charlotte. I'll look for his number.

Yeah, +1 for Zac(intense motorsports) Im in wilmington/burgaw/jacksonville area and there really is no rotary friendly area close so Id believe Intense would be your best option...when mine will need a rebuild Ill take it to Zac.

It sucks that there aren't anyt Rotary shops in the East. I'm in wilmington and the closest shop to me is my Garage. We've had 3 different RX7s being worked on. Also working on a Civic and a Van. LoL anyways GL with the guy in Charlotte from what I hear he is pretty good.
