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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
