Ivan rebuilt the engine in my '91 and put S4 rotors in it, along with a few other short-cut chintzy things. I had to stand over him and FORCE him to put the oil injection stuff back in (he fucked it up and I ended up premixing anyway) and had to threaten him with cops to get him to come back and finish the job. Basically ruined the value of the FC I bought from the old lady original owner.

 

Any recommendations on bodyshops familiar with FDs?

 

Perrigo's in Santa Cruz treated my FD great...and they didn't charge me an arm and a baby's leg. Perrigo's Auto Body Shop, Inc. - Home

 

Does anyone know of any shops in/near Modesto, CA? I'm looking at an FD in that area and want to find a shop to have it PPI'd at before I decide to purchase it.

 

No more mr Mazda?!?

 

Hi, is anyone rebuilding RX-7 FC engines in the bay area anymore?

Thanks!

 

Geoff Roark does I can' remember if he is on here though

 

Hes not. Hit him up on facebook.

 

There's a shop called Haag performance in Sac that works solely miatas and rotaries as well.

 

I talked to Geoff. Hes not building engines at the moment.

 

If you wanna head to sac go see Mike of haag performance great guy and actually had a shop in Martinez area before he moved out here

 

Jose Rodriguez does quality rebuilds, usually by referrals. PM me for his contact info.

 

PM'd you Jose's phone number.

 

Did he say why he wasn't?

 

I asked him if hes still building engines. He said "I'm not at the moment, depends what it is." Maybe I misinterpreted. JohnF I can PM you his number and you can talk to him if you'd like. LMK.

Maybe he meant hes not in the process of building one right now, i dunno. If youve heard differently let me know.

 

Geoff recently moved and I think the issue is he doesn't have the shop space at the new location.....

 

Thanks guys for the tips. I may give Haag Performance a call and see what they say. I think I need a service to pull and rebuild.

 

I gave Haag Performance a call and they do rebuild FC RX-7's & they gave me a rough estimate. The guy on the phone seemed nice as well. I'm stuck decided whether to rebuild this car or sell as a project.

 

You probably talked with mike who owns the place and does most of the work he is a good guy and knows his stuff

 

Auto Repair in Pleasanton, CA | Rick's Performance is still working on cars I believe.

There was a place in Oakland too, I remember but I'd have to search the forum to dig it out.

 

I know about bumping old threads and stuff and im usually just a lurker, but as of Jan. 20218 Rotor Sports is not doing rebuilds. I had heard this as of late and I went in today and got told the same things. Just thought it was worth posting.

 

Yeah, both them and Mr. Mazda are pretty much boinger only now.

 

Do Sakebomb rebuild engines?

 

I don't think so. I may be wrong.

 

No, external engine work, installs, repairs, tuning on our in house dyno, and our own manufactured race parts obviously. But no engine rebuilds. We can arrange with a builder however and have a few trusted builders we work with.
