Bring it by and I'll take a look at it

Seriously though, for less of a drive, theres a list of mechanics stickied at the top of the page, theres gotta be someone in that list closer to you, it's a pretty long list.

There are few rotary shops left in Virginia... Peter Farrel moved up to Fredrick, MD. RP Rotary Performance moved out to Summit Point, WV...

The only one I can think of is Performance Buyers out in Chantilly, VA

Not to hijack your thread but will he work on 3rd gens? I am pretty sure I have a broken motor mount and a nasty transmission problem.

motor mounts probably, and maybe pull the trans for ya
he won't do actual motorwork on FD's though

I need to find the his number, but i know a guy named Jay that does work on FD's (any rotary really) he used to work at Delta V.

try to make it down to some of the Friday night starbucks meets, you get to meet all teh right peoples

lol thanks a lot for all the info. If it is the same Jay I think i have his number in my phone. My FD has been sitting in the garage all alone for almost a year now with a broken motor mount and the 1st-2nd gear synchro shot. I really need to get off my butt and get those fixed so I can drive it again.

Thanks,
-Bill
