rx7 shops
 
So I know i'll probably get some guys telling me to do my research but I already have. I read the threads bashing force fed and I heard some good about staffs but at the same time i'm wondering if there are any other good shops for rx7 work that is reasonable pricing.
Any REAL advice would be helpful

GabAlmighty 01-11-2010 10:06 PM

Are you on an exclusive RX7 forum? That's where i would start. Go to a couple meets and hear what's up and where people go.

Inaii 01-11-2010 11:00 PM

mj check bcrotary.com, the shop list is still up, though I'm not sure when it was last updated. You'll at least be able to get the shop names and google them.

its in the rotary talk forum.

couple that I know of locally are:

Eunos in North Van
Tekam in Burnaby

that is basically all you will need, Marco knows his shit and is prolly the best rotary guy in BC

RE-Jo 01-12-2010 07:31 AM

I thought Forcefed is in Langley?

Raid3n 01-12-2010 08:13 AM

they moved.

and rotary rage, it's always best to call around.

mj.rx7 are you looking for someone to build you a race car? or are you looking for restoration work? or just factory spec work?

Inaii 01-12-2010 08:13 AM

^they are. They moved last month or the month before. I'm interested to see what happens when the new shop opens up.

And RR, not everyone likes Marko and vice versa.

ya i know i havent talke dot marko in a few years, i know that he did rams car and rams car is a monster for what he's put into it

mj.rx7 01-12-2010 07:05 PM

i'm looking for mods basicly just wondering what kind of money I need to save and or what my options are. From what I saw on one of the threads force fed wasn't any good... but basicly i'd love to get a 20b put in or like i say atleast see what my other options are

GabAlmighty 01-12-2010 10:08 PM

Save 20k. Pay someone to build you a nice car.

He also did dale's new fd. I've just heard that you have to catch Marko on a good day lol.

chun 01-13-2010 12:27 AM

Go to rx7club.com.

Read up on other 20B builds. Some of them listed out how much money it's taken. It's ridiculous and you should really know what you're getting into before you make that decision.

mj.rx7 01-13-2010 06:08 PM

i've done my research on 20B's and do understand what they take to maintain and all the work it takes to upgrade the car in order to take it. but i will check out the forums on there as i just got an account.

Rotary_Rage 01-13-2010 09:36 PM

If your going 20b expect to fork out 10 grand by the time your any where to near finished. For what you get it is strickly a status thing. honestly for the slight power upgrade with a whole lot less after market support you could go 13bt for a hell of alot less with the same amount of achievable performance

20b is for the epeen rotary guys saying "hey my cock is bigger then yours, but only slightly"

go 13bt get a microtech, street port birdge port, monster port what every porting you choose. replace your apex seal with aviation seals, go hybrid turbo (knight sports makes an amazing hybrid) front mount IC. All of that for less money then you would spend on just the 20b alone.

not to discourage you but I hope you have deep deep pockets to go with a 20b.

mj.rx7 01-13-2010 10:17 PM

no thats awsome info never really comapred everything. thanks for that RR.

mj.rx7 01-14-2010 03:13 PM

hey guys, for all those that have rx7's how much did you pay to get the engine rebuilt??? i've been told between 4 and 6 grand depending on how many new parts etc so i'm curious what all of you paid

Inaii 01-14-2010 03:54 PM

depends on what engine and what generation car. rx7 specialties has their engines listed on their site.

Rotary_Rage 01-14-2010 04:21 PM

4 grand is alittle high i would expect porting with that

expect to pay atleast 2grand for a full gasket and seal rebuild

or just buy the kit and do it yourself rotaries are cake if you have any mechanical knowledge

honeslty your best bet is call around

SaviorSelf_666 01-14-2010 04:24 PM

Forcefed :)

I've heard a lot of people with big dreams of 20b's or this and that..slowly they died off.

Rotary_Rage 01-14-2010 04:28 PM

^

Geby knows, considering he prolly has one of if not the hottest fd's in Canada

your still kicking around in Kelowna Geby? I'm might be down there at the end of this month for school

SaviorSelf_666 01-14-2010 04:39 PM

Yeah still here in Kelowna, haha my FD's alright as always a constant project. All the shops are alright, here in BC tho every shop gets a bad rep by one person or another. I'm biased as I've only personally been to Forcefed. But as once said in this thread before, call around get to know the shops and the people that work there. BC Rotary is a good place to ask around as well.

mj.rx7 01-14-2010 07:48 PM

ya I was thinking about picking up the kit and doing it myself as i've worked on cars all my life but wasn't sure how easy it would be. and I thought 4 was kind of steep but thought i'd ask. As far as force fed as I put earlier i was looking at going there but then saw the thread saying they weren't any good cause all i can do is try

Rotary_Rage 01-14-2010 08:05 PM

here is the basic's or a rotary block, housing, rotor, block, housing, rotor, block, end

the complete block is fairly smalled and tbh you could prolyl pick it up by yourself i moved mine by myself
