Local rotary mechanics

Got the chance to do some work on my car and I'm looking for some local rotary mechanics to take my fc to. Possible bad water seals. And oil leaks.
Let me know who's out there. Thanks guys.

RRR is horrible, avoid at all cost. Neptune Speed does extremely clean work at very reasonable price.

I have opposite views from the posts on this thread. First of all I take my car to lucky 7. Hands down best place to go imho. Fris specializes in FC's and have fast turn around times on rebuilds. Lucky 7 did my rebuild and I'm very satisfied. Nelson at RRR tuned my car and its really good. I had a bad experience at neptune speed though. They thought they knew it all with these cars and ignored my request to put idemitsu oil that was sitting on the passenger seat. Turbo oil seals started to leak soon after because the right oil wasnt used.

I all kinds of disagree. The two best most experienced rotary mechanics in Southern California are Nick at RRR and John at Mazdatrix.

Guys like Fris (Guitarjunkie deciple) and Louie (who was Wankle trained by RRR's Nick) at Lucky 7 are good at what they do because they were trained by some of the best at what they do.

It's all good.
