Actually, Apex944, when doing a google search for shops in sac, a thread you participated in came up. It's about 2 years old, but do you still work on rotaries off of Grantline?

I used to but due to non-paying customers and cheap people who want everything for free I no longer work on rotary powered or "regular" car's.
I've also downsized and moved over off of Power Inn and 47th/Eldercreek where we now only work on older exotics and other euro car's due to the same issue's with people unfortunately.

So he judges his rebuilds on the condition of the housing and depending on if they are salvageable or not his prices are about 1600-2300. He's a very smart guy and races "Lemons" haha he explained to me how rotary engines are a dying breed and he believes it is unlikely that Mazda will bring back the Rotary

his name is John. Great guy, very knowledgable.

I don't have any experience with them myself but you may want to do a search here on the forum as there was a member who had an issue with them taking his car.
I don't remember the details but it didn't look to good for evil genius racing.
