Come on man, we've been down this road, you know I'm not Max, I'm sure 84stock (Gary) can vouche for that as well. **** show Adam my posts he'd be able to figure out who it is fairly quickly.
Where did our original poster go?

Will work for horsepower
I had Adam do my 93 motor it dynoed 420 at 12 lbs. I ran it at the track and it went 10.8 at 127 mph. I cant complain it just cost money, either him or someone else!

yeah, well we have at least 5 ppl who's engines DIED within the last few months.... all from RX7 Specialties ....
2 of them blew at the Steve Kan tuning, and 1 barely a month after AND WHILE RUNNING LOW BOOST (13psi).
and one of the engine isnt dead but is smoking BADLY and he tried to put the blame on a turbo. the thing is we tryed with at least 5 different turbo.
so he sent his engine BACK AGAIN, and Adam didnt find anything (like he would admit having made a mistake) so THE CLIENT ended having to pay for 4 trips in total of shipping and for absolutely NOTHING but a smoking engine...
and took him like 6 months to find a certain paintcolor for an engine for a 13B-REW (Blue Pepsi) he said its because the paint came from Australia, but its funny cause ive ordered a complete FMIC kit and it barely took 2 weeks.
sTaLa PM, im in Montreal. ill refer you to a great shop that is located in Ontario, does A1 job and charges less then what ur gonna pay.
oh and whos customer service is probably one of THE BEST beside ppl like Pettit Racing!!!
*i am nice enough not to yell that shops name,since this thread is about rx7 specialties*

Ok guys, my engine died saturday night with 5500kms on rx7 specialties rebuilt engine. I won't blame Adam Heyman for the engine, I think it was a good engine, I think the tune by steve kan was good too. A/F ratios were in the 10's, fuel pressure was good. The engine blew in second gear at approx 5500 rpm at 13psi.
I took the compression on the engine, front rotor is 90psi all three faces and rear rotor is 0 psi on three faces so it looks like the 3 apex seals on the rear rotor are fucked. I think it can be a defective part like an injector, I don't know, the engine was running so great.
I'm pissed off a lil bit to pull the engine another time but it's part of the game, we'll figure out what caused the failure and hopefully it will run in august.

I bought 4 brake rotors from them for my '85 GSL-SE. They gave me 4 boxes marked as such. When I opened one to discover it contained a rear rotor for an FC (5 bolt pattern) they refused to take it back and exchange it for the part I ordered and paid for.

Since your motor is under warranty I doubt highly you would be willing to tear it down yourself and have a look? Or will you just ship it in one piece back to Adam? I would be very interested to know what another party felt about the cause of the motors failure.

I'm sorry. I didnt mean to mislead anyone. This happened to Shaun's motor a few years back. The senario sounded very similar. Shaun had Adam rebuild it, and to my knowledge that motor has run fine for Shaun since and is still in the car.

I think we are done here...that goes for both threads.
In any event, when one wants to look Into Into a shops "way of how they conduct themselves" I recommend that they do a SEARCH. It's the same old whenever one these threads re-appear with multiple (re-appearing) posts and dubious characters opposing what they say now versus previous, for example.
