I save up for years to find a good deal and buy an FD, so that apparently means I'm rich... Thanks, I appreciate you placing me in the "rich guy who doesn't know anything about cars" category. Just because I'd MUCH rather keep my car running then try to take it apart myself with the limited knowledge I have, and potentially break it, doesn't mean I'm an idiot. I just got stereotyped by a moderator because I drive an FD. I guess I should get used to it... But when I get it from a fellow rotary driver... Something's not quite right.

Yea it's ok... I just get a little edgey when I hear that because I hear it so much. So many people say that it gets tiring to listen to. Sorry to have gotten on your case like that.
The ONLY places I take the RX7 to if I can't do the job myself are Pettit, and Dragon Motor Sports. I take the car to Dragon most of the time because the guy I bought it from has always been getting his work done there. Louis and Ozzie know my car like it's one of their own. Louis has been working on RX7's for nearly 13 years, and has specialized in 3rd gen's since their debut. Not to mention he's made an 11.4 sec daily driver FD that has been running for nearly 2 years on 18 psi. Same thing with Cameron. They both know their stuff. And about money... Dragon actually gives me discounts or near vendor cost on almost everything they sell me because they know I want an impressively fast FD, and when I do good, they look good.
I would much rather take it somewhere for a difficult job and make sure it's done right, then try to do it myself and potentially ruin/break my motor.
Not to mention, to replace my front cover gasket, I'd have to remove the motor from the bay and I don't have a lift. Hence the high install prices on the gasket.
