Hey guys as a result from the Saturday San Diego rotary meet i think i might have found a mech with experience here in San Diego. Mel a member was kind enough to enlighten us with his hidden jewel of a mechanic and was not shy about slutting out his number. Dan the man(i hope) who works out of econo-lube.(owner/operator).
Spoke to him today and it seems like I got myself a meet and greet with him later on this week for some TLC for my 93fd3s. I look forward to letin yall know after the initial exchange.... fingers crossed, thanks Mel. Who the **** is Mel? where the **** is Mel? .. All day long @ the meet.

 

hey good luck wish you luck

 

if someone **** on paper, and told me what it meant, i would understand that better than what you just posted.

 

Oh sh#t my bad!!! i guess my enthusiasm in finding a Mech in FUkin farm town san diego got the better of me. I guess i got all emotional and just rambled out stuff out of my head.

 

hahahah

 

LOL

 

what you need to get done to your FD anyways that you can't do on your own

 

If you'd show up to the meet Jane you'd know.

 

TEDDY, where do i start. No really, i need to have all the pulleys looked @ to see if the power steering or AC pulley is causing my car to sound like it's supercharged.
The last mechanic of the previous owner obviously over tighten them or perhaps the bearing is riding hard do to the heat expansion. things like this, more regular TLC then anything. I would like to have her running OEM before i start bolting on stuff for performance. I need to be @ zero or zero it out before all of the stuff i have order gets put on or else i'll never be able to figure out what and why things are not functioning.

 

oh sounds good you should change all the pully's as a stock upgrade to your old parts

 

WORD!!!! by the mr. teddy i'm loving the thread on our farewell party at the beach.

 

when do you drop the car off or go see the guy

 

i'm hoping on or before friday. but who knows cause i'm going nutz @ WORK!!!!

 

i do have to hand it to you that fd was clean bro

I was thinking about getting an fd in the next few months but i might just settle with a bike

 

I'm always willing to help if you deside to undertke it yourself.....

 

hey guys much love thank you. i guess the second time around after the 95silver back in the days got me thinking about not rushing anything this time around. Now that I'm older and fatter i must insist on having Patience.. hahaha did we get a cook yet for the BBQ yet????

 

yeah 2cute...

 

uh personally idk how i would feel taking my car to an econo lube for anything other than an oil change and even that i wouldnt do but hopefully it works

 

The guy he's taking it to owns RX-7's and has wenched on them for years. The recommendation comes from Mel and I trust that he's not going to send a fellow rotorhead to some idiot with a Wal-Mart "My First Tool Kit".

 

15YRS to be exact. Don has worked on 1st and mostly 2nd gens but he has ran across 3rd gen as well. given this fact and i rather risk it with someone with experience rather then some shop i don't know of here in san diego. hopfully i be able to follow up with a write of the meet and greet later on.

 

i never have time. im moving back to ramona, so ill have a lot of free time for the first month while i find the right job. However, im selling my 7 ASAP to get a new car. so ill just be a tag along to meets after that.

 

agreed. its just the whole working out of econo lube that is weird
