Seeing as your so close to VA you may want to check with that area. But, if your willing to take the trip you will not be disappointed with either of the shops I recommended. I've heard nothing but good things about both these shops.

My buddy bought his FD from Eccentric Performance and was beyond satisfied with his purchase. They rebuild every motor with ALS seals and offer a 1 year warranty. He recently brought it to Rotorsports to have them do some work (single turbo, Apexi FC, and a tune).

There's one in Smithfield and Fayetteville. If you need to reach them, they are pretty good, just let me know. I only have their personal cell so yeah. I kinda dont want to put that info up on the internet.

I call him Mr. Joe. If we are talking about the same Jose?? He's really good and he's not out of business, he still takes 7s in from time to time. He just rebuilt an FC not too long ago the last time i was down there.

Jose Maldonado? Or something like that. He had a shop off of Murchison Rd. Called Cumberland Rotary. If it is the same guy he is a fantastic rotary builder. He built my 12a years ago and I couldn't have been happier with his work. If it is the same guy I would love to get in touch with him.

Smithfield is Gray's automotive (919) 390 4939 Bryan, he has tons of used parts, mainly FC, but getting more FD, works on all rotaries, does engine rebuilds.

I currently live in Columbia, SC but I did live in Fayettenam for a couple of years. If it's the same Jose he had a shop off the Murch. Small shop just him and an apprentice.

yeah, i wonder. the jose im talking about is amazing at it. so it might be the same guy. the probability of having a rotary specialist in the same area with the same name is slim to none. unfortunately, i lost his number. but here's another person. his name is bryan. he is amazing in rotary too as well. the only drawback is that he is located in smithfield. i've gone to him and he's what i can define as a pure rotary doctor. he knows his rx7 and works on other cars as well. his company is called Gray's Automotive (rotary specialist). great guy as well.

If you have happen to run into him please find out his last name and if it is the same Jose please get his number. If it his him for sure tell him an old amigo from Circuit City would like to say hi.
