OK, So I have some money and an extended warranty, and I want to fully restore my 93 RX-7 mechanically. I don't think there are any major problems, but as I mentioned in another post, it's recently out of storage and idling/starting a little rough (after a recent tune up, too).



Where can I go in the Bay Area for a true expert opinion/analysis on this car, and any fixes I might need? I've been dealing with Mazda Masters, but they seem to be more specialized in minor repair.

K2RD in sacramento may be able to help you out. I'll be moving to the Bay Area in a week, and a friend of mine there may know somebody. I could always take a look at your car when I'm there. I'm sure that it's a simple problem. By the way, are the spark plug wires hooked up to the right spots?

I can't really tell. I really trust the guy who did the tune-up (I've known him for years), but I know he's not an RX-7 expert.



Where are you moving to by the Bay? I live in San Mateo, about 20 miles south of SF on the Peninsula

Aaaahhh.... You're moving to "DC." I lived there from 2000-late 2001. That's only about 12-13 miles away.... Are you going to be formally working on cars here?



I have also joined the Bay Area RX-7 club (www.rx7.org). If you haven't already, you should definitely check it out....

welcome to the bay peoples. i've lived here all my 24 years. you could call on m2 performence, and also sr motorsports. they're up in walnut creek, about a 30-45 min drive from dc.

No working on cars "formally," but I WILL be trying to get my new project to crack 700 HP if I can find the time. <_<

I was going to say SR Motorsports, but I wasn't sure if they would do a simple tune-up, etc.

abresci 07-30-2002 05:47 PM
Cool. My car is bone-stock. Maybe you can take a look at it and tell me what you think...

Yeah, a simple check may be able to get us somewhere. I'll be there next week, but my car won't be there until somewhere between 8/10 and 8/14.

OK. I can come to you if that's easier. Just email me your contact info through this site, and I'll stay in touch to let you know what's up.
