fsm can help too ike check it out

http://www.rx7city.com/88manual.htm

id say i could help but i cant take a motor apart, or put one together for that matter, ive been told its easy but im not that cool

plus were they putting it back together for you or were you getting anything done, i dont think they can just close and bounce on you without finishing the work, seems wrong...

and

We have a couple of great autocross sites in the area.

let us know where you are, let me know if you want to come pick through my misc parts, i know i have a stock bov, and a whole bunch of other random crap for the fc.

edit:
if you are in the western part of the state, you might want to talk to these guys,
Rosen's garage

Ted Mooney is the rx7 guy, he knows fc rx-7s in and out and he has several parts cars.

i dont think it had red interior, it was an older guy, had glasses, kinda blondish spikey hair, leather coat...thats pretty much all i remember as i stared out my window with spite haha, im not really a fan of the red interior though, like the old supras its just ehhhhhhhh, i think autism played a role somewhere along that idea

you can go to all aspect in chesapeake or maybe one of the fellas on here could tune it for you if you have a setup they know how to use?
