Precision Import Repair had RX-7's everywhere!

First of all, I saw a Red FD about 3 blocks away from P.I.R. and was like WTF....I thought for sure someone refered him to P.I.R. and somehow found the wrong building. I went in the the shop and apparently this car was at Rotary Specialist forever and had a $3600 bill and still didn't run. After talking to the mechanic for 5 minutes...it was obvious he was way over his head with this car and had no clue. I wanted to rescue the car and coast it down to Mike and Marc where it would be in good hands! LOL Anyways....this car has been there for almost 3 months now! Poor FD.


Anyways....I dropped by Precision to look at the damage done to my Chromoly Axels I destroyed at Street Tuner Mayhem at Bandimere and was amazed on how many RX-7's were there. Now there are usually 6 -7 at a time but there was like 14 there! 7 FD's, about 4 FC's, and 3 FB's.....That's pretty cool! Anyways...I snapped some pictures since it looked like a Rotary meet there!

Yup, that's them.

I just set 'em up with a new computer to run their AllData software on in exchange for some labor.
Poor Mark (c?) got screwed...both jobs (reseal oilpan and replace motor mounts) were supposed to be easy and naturally, turned into nightmares.

He persisted though and did a great job.

Wonderful folks to deal with.

I have seen pictures of other shops out of state with a bunch of RX-7's, but didn't think I would ever see a shop in Colorado with so many Rotaries there at any given time.

I wish that red 'vert was in better shape. I'd buy it and drive it home.

I'm not sure....I know Koles Silver FD is there now....I think it has a T04 and some Nitrous on it. He ran a 12.1 with a crappy 60ft before blowing up his diff a few years ago....When that cars is done it will probably come close to being as fast as mine since his trap speeds are about 122. Yesterday, I should have taken some new pictures because I think there was more then 7 FD's there this time.

Anyone have this shop do a rebuild for them? I need to get my S4 Turbo II 13b rebuilt badly and do not know of anywhere else locally that does it. I have found one other guy, Don Walker who I found out by doing some research is a thief and changes the name of his shop constantly to continue to rip people off.

But, how did the guys at Precision do with a rebuild? I'd love some reviews! I would much rather do it locally that have to take my engine to another state for a rebuild. Any reviews of this shops work (especially rebuilds!) are appreciated! Thanks.
