TX Rotary Mechanic

Curious if there is any1 near the DFW area who is garunteed quality rotary work. Such as rebuilds/Mods ect ect. I've had one estimate from Gotham for a full single turbo set up 450HP.. $10,000. I do know if you do the work yourself, or know some1 they can do it for half the price. So I guess you could say im looking for a fellow RX7 owner who would be willing to help me out on "Modifying" my FD for a cheaper price than Gotham.

Thanks.

little to far for me to drive.. maybe a 2 hour drive for me.. if i go the speed limit.. =) I'm looking for something a little closer to Ft. Worth area. I just dont want to have to spend $10,000 when i know i can have some1 and find some1 who will do it for half the price.

Well Gotham closed down, but I used to work for them.

And it doesn't take $10,000 to do a single turbo, I can get the parts and one of the guys that I stay in-touch with from Gotham could put on your FD and tune it. This can all be done for less than $5,000 and usually much less.

PM me and we can talk about everything you need.
