Single turbo, fmic, ported motor etc... Shit was sick. But soon after I see his car at autopro gettin painted, then I see him at the meets(this was a while ago) and ask him about his car.. He replied charlie doesnt know shit, he built my motor wrong, and I ended up blowin it.. Lol This guy was boosting about 12-15psi on nothing but the stock ecu and stock fuel sys. not even safc nothing. Charlie told him about the fuel and all this shit, but he wanted his car back and thought he spent enough money.. and then got mad cus he didnt want to warranty the motor. vvvvvBuilt by myself, if anything happens cant blame anybody but mevvvvvvv.. |

Hey Guys ! I dont think that its right to Mudsling anyone... regardless of the personal experiences that we may have had. I have only gotten the opportunity to meet Alex Lopez recently since I started "The Miami RX7 Club" and organizing all of the events around Miami ... I went to his shop and we chatted from what seemed to be an hour or so and I was treated with the utmost courtesy. I asked him to direct and honest and that is exactly what I perceived from Alex. On that same day I bought an item from him and was able to return back on many other ocassions to purchase other items that I needed for my 4 Rotor project build. Other area Tuners that I have spoken to have had positive things to say about him as well as they at times turn to him for advice. So my Thumbs up to Alex Lopez of LOPEZ RACING

Thiis is Charlie from Auto Tech Rotary. Hey Roger, No time no hear about you .... I just wanted to let you know that as a man I respect everything that you say, but I dont respect people who lie. To let you know that when I built your motor... Yes, it took a while but if you have proof that the parts that i used were used I would like for you to show me. If you want we can set up a meeting between You (roger) , PNC (Pepe) , Lopez Racing (Alex), and myself included. i dont know who was the one that opened your motor and told you that the parts were used. I dont remember how long the low compression motor that i supposedly built for you lasted. If I am not mistaken, It was between 3 and 4 years. What I had heard and you can correct me if I am wrong ; the motor blew up because of overboosting on stock injectors and stock fuel pump. I am just trying to straighten this matter up with you. If I am wrong, correct me. All the things that have happened with your car that i heard i dont go around talking about them because i dont know if they are true or not. if I would talk about them its because they came out of your mouth. If anithing that you need to talk to me ,, please feel free to call me at my shop or my cell which you should have. BTW, your car looks good in the video. But it doesnt look good than Automatic Mercedes with the top down beat you. Take care and best regards, Don Charlie |

if your looking for a dyno in fort walton beach go to adam's automotive in crestview.
johnny adams is the only guy i'll let under my hood in this area. he has already told me that he is not familiar enough with them to rebuild a rotary, BUT, he can do any installing you want. i have had him do various things to my engine. he also understands my need for speed and can relate to performance issues/questions i ask him about.i have 2 other places i will also let do other non-engine work. |
Yea, I just went over to Ortiz's Speed shop today. Bitch didn't pay me any attention....at all. He looks at me, then continues grinding at the rotar housing. So I go inside. He's still grinding. I go back outside, doesn't pay any attention to me again, then gets on the phone and starts talking. He somewhat walks towards me, and....nothing. 3 spanish kids pull up in a old civic, and the guy starts talking to them and doing business with them. As far as I know, the first rule about running a business is that, if you see a customer or someone with a curious look on their face, walk up to your shop about 5 feet away from you, you drop what you're doing and ask them if they need any help or have any questions. Yea, never again will I ever waste gas going to this guys shop. A big middle finger for Ortiz's Speed shop. Yet, I heard he was good...he must be good at something else, but customer service, he sure does suck.

R.P.M. Racing
2710 French Ave Sanford, FL 32773 407-578-6977 or 407-324-5927 Johnny has been working on rotaries for over 15 years. He has done 3 cars for me personally and I would recommend him to anyone that wants it done right for a good price. He does everything: complete rebuilds, porting (all types), performance upgrades, suspension, fabricating, welding, you name it! |
Just heard rumors that ASI Racing is closing down...
|
|
This is probabily "pretty late in the game" but i wouldn't recomment ASI to anybody, i've had my own personal experience with them and in wasn't very good.. If you want to know more send me a PM,
later ASI |
Anyone heard anything about Rotary garage in Tampa florida?
|
Don't know what a good price is.. I got a great price on mine because they took so long they did the street porting for free... (they took over a month after promising 1-2 weeks) Mine was only 1,100 through Jax Motors... which might be too far North for you.
Anyways I want to add them to the list : Jax Motors 7238 Atlantic Blvd. Jacksonville, FL 322?? 904 723 3455 The mechanic's name is Steven The owner is Luis They did a great job on my car once it was done... Not sure if they work on FD's cause I've never seen one in there.. but FS's, FB's and FC's I've seen in there |

I was wondering if i can get some info on the shops in the Orlando area.
I was looking into buying a 93 FD and i want to do all the reliability mods but i need to get the car now and for the next couple of months i wont have time to do the work myself. So i was wondering what would be the best shop to go to to have these mods installed for me. Things like replacing all the vacume hoses replacing the pre cat with a downpipe and replacing the AST. |

If you're in Orlando I've heard nothing but good things about Central Florida Turbo. I'm actually driving my FD down to CFT from North Carolina within the next month or two. Check them out at www.centralfloridaturbo.com. They have some nice videos on the site too. |
I know for a fact that Alex Lopez owes it to CLR
Did u know that Carlos Lopez built Alex's motors and the bastard took the credit for it when he was asked. in fact that Carlos Lopez who paints his motors red and silver and then Alex won a race and had painted the engine in his signature yellow and silver so he could pass it off as one of his motors. then when the motor blew Alex had the audacity to take it back to carlos so he could work on it.
just thought that i would share that piece of information.. it is a fact just ask anyone who has been around. |
I went to ORTIZ RACING for a tranny prob. that I had . and someone else told me that it had to be replaced i went to Ortiz and he fixed it byreplacing the bushings in the shifter. I had originally asked him if he had a Tii tranny for sale and he OFFERED to check out my car to see if the tranny did in fact need replacing. So to end this story he found the prob.(bushings) replaced and all labor for 25 bucks. also CFT is where a lot of central florida shops take their cars to be dyno'ed. I dont know how expensive or not they are but I hear that they know their shit all the way around the board. ALSO.... There is a guy named jerry around Orlando that claims to do work on rotaries hes always at the track and hangs out w/ Toledo from TOLEDO RACING. He has a 808 turned rx-3 .. DO NOT MESS W/ THIS GUY PLEASE !! SAVE YOUR $ AND DRAMA!!! TRUST THAT! -Erik
