Hey Whodiddy,
I Am in Saluda, I owned a shop in Hawaii before i moved here. I can do everything for you minus the porting .. I would reccomend Rotorsports or Gotham Racing for a ported engine..( not sure if Rotorsports ports their engines themselves.)

PM me and we can talk. I work at MR cycles in Asheville, stop by sometime and we can talk.
The price of a ported engine is worth haveing a good pro do that part. As i said before i can do all the R&R work for you.

Dave

 

would you be doing the rebuild here in asheville?

 

I too am in the WNC area and also need to find a rotary specialist. Ashville is 2 hours from me. I dont need a rebuild, but a tune up is high on the to-do-list.

 

Whodiddy, PM steveoz. He is the best tuner around. He ported my 3rd gen not too long ago. Bigislandseven, what do you drive?

Tayyab.

 

or STEVENOZ.

 

PM him, and tell him that Tayyab sent you. He'll hook you up.

 

I work at Shell Station on Mills Gap (not even half a mile before brookwood golf course) Stop by sometime.

Tayyab.

 

Not trying to step on the guy from Hawaii's toes but I will also recommend Brian from Rotorsports. Hes good. Very good.

No toes being stepped on here;D I am just offering local help. I don't do it full time anymore now that i wrench on bikes again full time. And i really don't have the time to do the rebuild itself. So i would also reccomend Rotorsports or Gotham racing for the actual rebuild. But all the R&R i can do for a decent price. Again just offering more local help than haveing to drive 2 1/2 hours and leave the car.

Harris69,.. I drive a silver FD with Single turbo etc... I drive it everyday from Saluda to Asheville on I 26 to I40 then to the Biltmore exit. 1 1/2 miles south on 25 to MR cycles were i presently reside in the dungeon wrenching on bikes

There was a white T2 that came into teh shop on weds. and everyone said they were checking out my car. I didn't have time to go out and talk story with the owner. As well there was a vert that came in about a month ago with a FD engine swap and single turbo. Kinda had a taxi cab theme going on with the yellow paint and checkerboard graphics on it. Was real clan. Also had a supra style spoiler on it like my Gf's FC. ( which should be here sometime in August from Hawaii when she goes back to finish up some work) If either of those cars were you sorry i didn't get a chance to get away. They always seem to show up when i am head deep in a big job Stop in again and i will get away. If it wasn't you and you are in the area,.. stop in and ask for me in the service area.

Whodiddy... I got your PM and will send you one with my #. I am going to Nashville this weekend to visit the Gf's family so i probably won't get a chance to call till next week. But feel free to ring me up;D

Aloha, Dave

 

That was my White FC. I live in Franklin. I was in Asheville for the day to see my GF and hang out with my friends. 2 of my friends from Franklin Motorsports were delivering a bike that day and their truck broke down so we came and picked them up. I have also seen a blue GXL I think at the mall a few times lately. We should definitely meet up and hang out sometime. Holla back

yeah steve osley is the shizzle...he has hooked my FD up...single turbo and all. does awesome port jobs as well. i know allrotor93 uses him as well. no worries, great prices...kick *** guy. Stevenoz is his forum name. i have his phone number if ya need it

 

Hey BigIslandSevens, glad to hear you made it to asheville. Wish i could meet up with you guys too but its a PITA to take off work. I also live in Franklin.

 

im orig from cherokee...we should all meet up sometime...im painting my car as we speak...good time to show it off

 

I hear that. My FC is primer white right now but patience is a virtue. It took me 2 and a half years with this project so far.

 

im in the same boat...my right side was yellow primer for over two years....but i wanted to get the power aspect done first...that way i could have an ugly *** fd but it was smoke that ***

 

Rx7World has done a great job for me. Just dropped a JSpec 13-B REW in the FD! and have built a stage 3 into the 1989 vert. They are located in Rock Hill, SC. www.rx7world.com Just give them a call. Tell them Scott sent you.

 

BigIslandSevens,

White FC with checkers is Howee's (SP) I drive a 95 VR base which is currently for sale. You will notice mine when you'll see it- trust me. I think i saw your car a while back on 25. (does it have black stripes) If that was you, i blew by you in my Porsche 928. My car is going in the body shop soon- i am getting a body kit (sexy style) put on, and getting few other things taken care of.

Thanks,
Tayyab.

 

I never knew there were so many people in WNC? I just did a rebuild/install for a guy with a white FC a few months ago, and I believe he was from franklin? I used to know of a couple of guys in Asheville, one with an FC and one with an FD.

 

Hell Yea you did the rebuild for me and its running ******* awesome. If this guy is willing to drive an hour or so then he should go to you. I'm getting the Rtek chip we talked about in a couple of weeks and I've already got the bigger injectors. Thanks a shitload man and I'll always send work your way.

Chris
