Does anyone know of any shops in Alabama that do good work on 7's and can tune an ecu? im pretty lost with my microtech and there is alot of poorly done DIY crap in my engine bay that need to be fixed. please let me know if anyone has info on a good shop or tuner

 

What part of Alabama ??

 

im in montgomery, close to there would be nice but i wouldnt mind a little trip to get things right. i really just dont want to have to take it out of state everytime i need major work or a retune.

 

3 hours to Pensacola ...http://www.fighters-garage.com/ ... they have 3 great Mazda Mechanics , all of whom OWN RX7s and have for the last 10-15 years ... they're the ONLY guys I trust to even touch my FD , other than myself ... it's worth a look to you anyway

 

right on, Pensacola isnt that far away. ill definitely have to look into that.

 

What is it that you need done we have a pretty good following here in Birmingham

 

what part of gumptown are you from? i used to live down there

 

im gettin a stage 3 BNR and a new FMIC setup, i can install those. i need someone who really knows what they are doing to look over my wiring and engine bay though. its got my bootleg DIY crap than you see on most hondas and i dont even know where to start on gettin it right. plus once i do get the new turbo and fmic setup i will need to get my microtech tuned.

 

i used to live on Gunter, then i moved out behind eastdale mall, and now im out in old cloverdale. Cloverdale has gone downhill too, i mean ive got someone tryin to break in like every other month now. i cant wait till my lease is up so i can gtfo ofthe ghetto

 

Did you check out the Fighters Garage website ?? ... there is a writeup about an FD that came in with all kind of "Hoopty" wiring and fabrication ... they fixed it right up , and fixed all the problems on the car in a day ... worth a look

 

I have taken on a job before... But I will not tune. I charge measly $40/hr (just half of mazda dealer charges). I need to head down to Montgomery sometime this month to get an alarm put in.. If you want to hire me, let me know.. I know few things about FD

 

herblenny are you going to the import faceoff here in montgomery next weekend??
and nice to see there are more fds in the gump!
slade.khazid are you going to the import faceoff??

we are all meeting in the eastdale mall parking lot next saturday morning at 7:30 if you want to convoy with use.

but there arent any shops locally other than spiers on collusium blvd over by the state trooper office, but i wouldnt let them touch mine.

 

I don't goto that show.. Too long of a wait to get in and Ive boycotted that show since the debate in 05. LOL!

 

i must have missed something.
i have only been to last years.

what happened in 05?

 

i will be at IFO this year. i saw the thread about everyone meetin up at eastdale mall in the morning. im pretty sure i can make get out there that early.

 

indeed, what did happen in 05? i was there 05 and 06 and the only fiascos i can remember is when they wouldnt let my friend marcus compete in the burnout competition (in 05) and then the BS with the fliers last year (2 people at the gate not collecting them).

 

i had no prob with the flyers at the gate? you mean the discount flyers?

 

yeah i checked out their website. it looks like they worked a miracle in that FDs engine bay. so far they seem to be the best option.

 

Have I meet you before? Is your FD VR? I meet a guy @ car audio plus a few years ago with a VR that I was telling about the forum and MRCCAL

 

might have met me car audio plus (used to hang out there ALOT) but a couple of years ago i was driving a black 2000 civic si and now im in a FC. i wish i could afford an FD, the insurance would have been like 300+ a month though.

 

dont think it would be that much. i pay about 200 a month and thats with an extra 5000 coverage.

 

trust me, i got it checked. with my age and driving record my insurance is high (too many speeding tickets). my civic's insurance was 247 a month just to give you a clue of what my insurance bills are like.

 

dang!!
i keep forgetting how old im getting! and all my fifty billion tickets have dropped off by now.

 

There is a guy in Montgomery who is basically a genius that might be able to tune your car. He drives a red s14. PM me if you want his information.

 

Damn... I must be really old then... My wife and I pay $135 a month for full coverage on my FD, 1991 Celica, and 2005 Mazda6.
