Question Rotary Shop near SD/Orange County

I've done a search here but can't really find much.

Looking for a Rotary shop somewhere between LA and San Diego area. Anyone have any recommendations?

Looking to buy an FD that needs a rebuild.

I have no clue how to rebuild a rotary or what it takes to rebuild one. I was asking because I am thinking about buying an FD that needs a rebuild. I live on Camp Pendleton, right in between Irvine and SD. I would pay someone to help me if it meant not spending a gazillion dollars for taking it to a Shop that is going to charge outrageous prices.

I think he's wanting $9000. Interior could use some work and exterior has some scratches and dings. Leather is good. Moonroof works but at first you have to give it a little help to go up then it's fine after that. It drives but it feels like its getting no power at all until 4500rpms.

Sounds like primary turbo, but I could be wrong. Speed Machine Performance is in Vista (kinda pricey, but top notch work). And Rotary Reliability and Racing is in Santa Ana. Good luck.

sounds a bit over priced to me. i would say 9k if the car was mint and all it needed was a rebuild, but sounds like it needs work all around. prolly only worth 6k TOPS

It has an aftermarket spoiler that isn't painted and isn't of my liking, the panel at the bottom driver side is broke, the little tray on the drivers side is missing, the plastic above the guage cluster is completely broken and needs replacement...thats all i can think of right now besides what i already listed.

fyi - That isn't a motor. That usually means that the sequential turbo control system needs to be fixed. Could be a solenoid, old/cracked vacuum lines or something like that. Mostly cheap repairs.
