Thumbs up

I know I said I was going to sell her but I just can't bring my self to do it. I was wondering if anyone has dealt with these guys before? Or if you have heard good or bad of them?



I am probably going to go with the "buy a malloy engine deal", ship it to them, and have them rebuild with a street port and other "reliability" mods.



That with a new fuel pump, 1300 secondaries and a greddy front mount should have me sitting rather nicely. What do you think?

I have never had work done by him, but I can tell you about the experiences people I personally know. This is about 4 years worth of knowledge I have obtained. People who go there to have regular work done, or mild mods have had no problem. People who get street ports and/or single turbo upgrades have all had serious issues, as in motors popping after a very short time.

I see you are from Cali. I don't know any of the shops there, But I would look into Pineapple racing in Washington state. I have heard nothing but great things about them, and they are alot closer to you.

he dyno tuned my car with the mods listed below pretty well i thought. hes a great guy and has a good amount of experience with rx7's. so from someone who frequents his shop, he is a great guy amazing diagnosing rx7 problems and fixing em, and good with mods as well (check out his shop if he isnt insatlling at least 2 single turbos and tuning at least one haltec u cought him on a slow day)
