not really worth it, it would get deleted in about .5 seconds, then I could get banned .5 seconds later just like everyone else that says anything anti-rx7store/rx7forum.

I'm seriously disappointed in Rx7 Store's operations. I must admit I wondered about their operation when they cannibalized Ryan Adkins' brand new Pineapple motor's rear main seal when they were doing a clutch job on another customer's car. I guess they put a new seal on Ryan's Pineapple? The funny part was Zavier asked ME how much he should charge the customer having the clutch job for the rear main seal?
Zavier (Rx7 Store tech guy) prides himself in doing very good oil pan seals. It's ironic, that Kyle, Ryan, and I all have leaking oil pans...? I'm currently trying to get my oil pan resealed under warranty from the Rx7 Store. They initially said "yes", but now I'm having trouble with Zavier committing to a date that I can come and have the work done (I'm in Indy).
FWIW, I was supposed to have this oil pan inspected 3 weeks ago and sealed if it was leaking. Not only did they make me wait 7 hours just to inspect my car (cuz they conveniently scheduled a turbo swap in front of my car); they refused to reseal it because they thought it wasn't a big deal. They tightened down the driver's side motor mount bolts; and said that should fine. Guess what, it's leaking STILL.
Anyhow, after reading Kyle's story, I may just pay good money to have the oil pan resealed somewhere else. I don't want to risk my stuff getting borrowed, or another door ding (yes I have a door "ding" from Advanced Indy Imports--formerly Advanced Import Motorsports--they also refused to pay for my body repairs.
What is it with Rx7 shops that begin with "A"...Advanced Imports (Columbus OH), and Advanced Indy Imports (Indianapolis IN)??!!
