Anyone have a number for a rotary shop in the bay area. I need to have 5th gear synchro fixed.

I don't think it's too far from the bay area.

 

I'll second rick. He's over in pleasanton, so he's not too far from you. He does charge a little more than other mechanics, but rest assured, he does outstanding work and is always willing to talk to you and explain everything to you if need be. I've been goin to Rick for a while and i've never had a bad experience, and i know others on this forum who are very pleased with Rick too.

Anyways, if you do want more options, post this in the west section and you'll get more responses.

Chuck does GREAT work and isn't as expensive as Rick. Btw this should have been posted in the west section or searched for there.

 

I echo the sentiments about Rick, had some work done about 5 years ago when I lived in SF, definitely worth the trip out there! Good luck..

 

I live in the city and also get all my work done at Rick's, and I'll be going back in a few weeks for some work. He'll drive you to and from the BART station to make the trip a little easier.

 

I have seen a place in the santa clara area... I think it was called Rotorsport... or something...? I may be wrong. It is RIGHT next to Deals on Wheels.

 

Yup, rotorsport on el camino, I've heard Paul is a great guy, though you might also considering going to a tranny shop.

yeah, my dad lives like a couple blocks from that place.

 

i bought my truck from that lot.

 

 

paul is a really good mechanic, i go to him for all my problems with the fd. well only for the hard ones..like..when your motherfucking FD won't turn on!!! i mean.. yeah, hehe he's a good mechanic, awesome prices for quality work!

 

Yupyup, paul's the man.

 

Paul IS the man...I have taken my TII to him since I bought it. Awesome guy, very knowledgeable, does great work. And let's not forget...Robin is freaking awesome too!

Rotorsport

 

i dont think he offers a the bart service any more since dan( or is it dave) his brother-in-law has since retired, so rick is at the shop by himself. but rick's is definatly a place to go, i've taken my car there a couple of times to have some ish taken care of.

 

ill throw in a vote for rotorsport. pauls a great guy, i go to him for parts when i attempting my rebuild. heh he knows me as the side seal guy.

 

any tuners in the bay area?

 

I just bought my 1993 rx7 that has 83K on it. I was wondering first if I should get it rebuilt, and also about how much it is going to cost me. I did a search for this, but got tired of sifting through pages and pages with no answer. Sorry to bother you guys. Another thing, what kind of gas mileage should I expect, because I went 54 miles on a 1/4 of a tank.

 

i wouldn't bother with a rebuild unless the compression test comes out lower than 85psi on one or both rotors.

i charge $1600 minus any damaged internals for a base rebuild for a 3rd gen but expect to pay around twice that at most of the bay area shops.

 

If it isn't broke, don't fix it
-And a lot of the NorCal 7s guys have had their cars worked on or engines rebuilt by Karack. He does an awesome job. Hes done most the work on my car since I'm not that great of a mechanic :P
