I just receive a '91 2nd gen for pretty much free. The body is perfect but the guts(engine, tranny) need some work. I don't have time to do the repairs myself, plus I don't know what I'm doing when it comes down to the real technical work. Just wondering if anyone out there is familiar with the San Francisco bay area rx-7 import scene and could recommend a few good shops that can help me on this quest of restoration. I've check some local directory's and haven't found any that stand out as specialist. I was hoping the GODS of RX-7 club.com can point me in the right direction. THANKS

 

There is a thread stickied on rotary shops in the bay area, in this forum.

 

Ricks Rotary in pleasanton. hes an honest guy and does really really good work. hes the only one in the bay i would take my car to if i cant do something myself... everyone around the bay knows about rick...

The dude is $$$$ but he is good!

 

+1, because junpower's personal car is a FC also.

I personally take my car to Rick when I need work I don't have patients to do myself.

 

my fd is at rick's right now. really cool guy. i've got a box full of receipts from the previous owner and i'm glad i didn't pay for all those mods $$$$$$$

+1 he just painted my car

 

Yeah its ROTORSPORT the head guy is Paul, he rebuild my engine late last year and did a great job of it. He is honest and knows all about the RX-7, I don’t remember how I found him I think he was recommended by someone at Mazda.

Paul is awesome! Rotorsport can definitely get the job done.

Junpower is a good guy too, he's on his 34th rx7, knows alot about them as well. Haven't gone to him to work on my car, but I know people have gone to him and only have good things to say.

 

yea junpower is a nice dude, he'll even make house calls (if you pay for his gas)

I was gonna use him for something but never called him back heh

 

wow i never bothered to look in this forum for some info i was wondering about. lol

 

Junpower is a really cool guy very knowledgeable.

2 bad experiences with Ricks Rotary myself. I have heard negative things from other club members as well.

Paul of Rotorsports is the most knowledgeable guy I have met about Rotaries. I mean his first car was an Rx2 and has been working on rotaries for more than 30 years. But yeah he is not perfect, kinda has a temper and gets annoyed by "forum kids with FCs" lol. But he is my shop neighbor and without that guy I would hate Rx7s. My S13 never gave me half the problems

Anyways come by and say hello sometime!

nobody wants to deal with young drift-a-rinos in their FC's..lol

 

Rusty's in Santa Cruz is good, Rusty is a good guy and knows his stuff, but it's on my side of the hill.
