I'm sure many of you guys have different shops you go to to get work done to your car. What are some reputable performance shops for rotaries that you guys go to to modify your car? rebuild the engine? get interior work done? get body work done?

Thanks

 

Don't tell me you have rotary in that Celica....that's crazy.

 

i know a guy in santa clarita, not really a shop for heavy business, but he rebuilds rotarys for people occasionally. been a rotary tech since the 60's

 

i have always gone to mazdatrix, and i highly reccomend them. they are in signal hill, right off the 405 and ALL they do is rotary

there is also rotary power, tri-point, and rotary reliability and racing.

 

Sidepex in Temple City.

 

I heard the old man that owns that shop tries to make asian teenagers bend over in front of him.

 

Mazdatrix is VERY expensive.

I highly recommend Rotary Power in Gardena. I think the owner of Sidepex(Norm, was it? Sounded like a cool guy on the phone.) learned and honed his knowledge and skills while working for Jeff at Rotary Power.

 

haha if i did... i wouldn't have posted in the 3rd gen section

Just comparing the knowledge and resources available between Mkiv supras and rx7 FD3S.

Looking to buy one or the other in the next year. Just wanted to do somet research on Rx7s before coming down to a final decision. Some of you guys from Orange County/ Irvine might know my brother. He's on anteaterforums. Goes by the handle Old Man Celica. He has the diamond pearl white Mkiv supra rolling on SF Challenges.

 

I can't deny that.

 

Except I made them bend over.

 

the price is reflective of the quality. mazdatrix actually operates at a low profit margin. you have to remember the way capitalism and retail work...
i have had experiences with other shops, and after having compared both, i can say that i am ALWAYS willing to pay the price to have things done RIGHT. the skills and knowledge at mazdatrix are unmatched.
i firmly believe you get what you pay for. just my $0.02

 

Well if you got to Midas Muffler for an engine rebuild you deserve to get shafted. Referral is a better method than paying top dollar. "You get what you pay for." is obsolete with the example of cheap China labor and great products that are produced.

Yes mazdatrix is expensive. They also make mistakes. Such example of GuitarJunkie's Fd high compression assembly rebalanced by them. It was damaged in shipping because of poor packaging. Even if you pay top dollar you will still get a product f-ed up.

 

I know someone who brought a GSL-SE to mazdatrix for smog issues as it woudnt pass. They charged him approx $600. Guess what? It still wont pass. My friend got tired from arguing with mazdatrix.

 

Can anyone recommend a shop where I can bring a 240Z? The engine needs a complete rebuilt along with the triple carbs

Thanks in advance

 

theres a place in redondo beach called "z-world" its on sepulveda on the east side of the street(sorry ive forgotten the cross street)funny old scottish guy owns the place.

 

Yes, yes, how about some shops... i have a custom 260Z with a turbo that is in need of some TLC.

BTW, R&R in Upland is a real good shop... time estimates aren't, but top quality work at a great price. That's were I take my car and they've never let me down.

 

Got pix of your 260z.

 

Not on me...

I'll post some tonight or tomorrow.

 

cool. glad to find another 240 lover in this board. check me out at dimequarterly

 

Got a number for this guy? I wanna get a quote from him since I live in the area.

Now, let's see pics of your 240.

 

Thanks. I will call him.
