Re: any rotary shops around here
If Lou was so great with rotaries, he would have known the impedance numbers on the RX-7s. Guess what, anything electrical, he's clueless it seems. Basically half the problems with rotary cars are electrical issues (especially grounding), so if he can't figure out an electrical problem, then he can't do diddly-squat for any RX-7 out there.
Basically, you're shit-out-of-luck if you're looking for a quality job on a rotary in the 757. I know one guy that's good, but he works very slow and has basically retired from the whole rotary engine ordeal.

Yea,
Will at Autodemics was a character. He built a fast FD and everthing but ended up being a crook. I asked him some stuff about my FB, and he was always telling me that no one made this stuff, he'd have to custom make this and that.
Like Qwik said, your screwed when it comes to a pistonless engine in the 757. The closest reputable shop for the rotary is PFS. There may be a few closer, in NoVa. Check the guys over in that section.

Yeah that who I had in mind. In fact he was the original builder of my engine, it's really a long and weird story how that happened.
When and where is the next meet?
