Hi everyone,

I'm looking for a good mechanic to work on my RX7 in Houston. (I live in West Houston, if that matters) I've done some work myself, but I know my limitations. I have a 1991 NA with a lot of problems. I go to school and work full time and I really don't have time to fix my car anymore.

I'm looking for someone who knows these cars really well. They don't have to be a full time mechanic, it could even be someone who would take cash to do work on the side.

Any suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Franz

 

Not a problem, here are two that Ive and many use. For engine work/builds is (Rx7 NUT 13B) and for tuning PFC its (cewrx7r1).Both are named Chuck, and are upstanding members on the forum and at local meets..Great guys that know about rotaries, and will teach you as well as help fix your car... Hope that helps Best Regards 1Tx.

 

^^^ What that guy said.

 

Thanks for the names. I have been to two meets in Houston. I will definitely go to the next one and hopefully contact Chuck before then to get the ball rolling.

 

I live in west houston too. Might be able to help you check the basics.

 

+1 for both chucks.

 

Seems like I need to meet one of these guys!
I'm a mechanic myself, but have no exp. with rotary engines

 

I am the Engine Builder Chuck

 

^^^ this is the guy that can do it all... he's nick name is the "RED NECK, TONY STARK". one stop shop! if he cant get you squared away, i dont think anyone can...

 

^^^+1^^^

 

Would you happen to be acsm certified? I need to sue my mechanic for being a piece of C@c@. But I want to make sure what's been replaced with new parts and what's been replaced with old and what hasn't been replaced. I need a whole detailed list. If your not can you recommend me to a good shop?

 

I am not, my suggestion is take it to Mazda and have them do a detailed list. It will look better in court. What happened if I can ask?

 

I just bought a 93 rx7 and i was wondering if any one with experience with these cars would help me go over the car I am a master mechanic so I know my way around a car but i don't claim to know everything .

 

I took it a mechanic in California and he just slapped it together and didn't do the basic check of making sure everything is nice and tight. He just put in the Radiator and didn't bother to tighten it. I left the car at my cousins because I had to go out of town. When I got back I got it started and it was fine until I parked at In&Out and then it started to over heat because there was a leak in the cooling system. It happened twice before i realized what it was. I tightened it my self and added some more water for temporary but it still ran great like a champion, but I never pushed it. I went on my road trip 2 days later and the car died on me about an hour out side of pheonix. It just bogged out for no reason. So now I want to get it inspected to see what's wrong with it and to check up on whether the internals were replaced with used parts or actual new parts. A rebuild kit only costs 800 bucks and it includes everything needed for compression. So basically I feel like I got ripped off because it is the second time this **** has happened to me. I thought I could trust him, and I made it very clear after the first time that I'm not F*ing around when it comes to my car. But yet again he tested my patience, and that is what is going to bite him in the ***.

 

Hey chuck are you certified? I ask because I need some one to review my car so I present the court with parts that were rebuilt and the parts that were crossed over as used parts

 

I spent a few G's on my car and it's no better than when I first bought it, except the cool running advan radiator that I bought for it

 

Like I said in the post a few up I am not certified. If you are doing court stuff a name place, Mazda, Mazdamax, Rx7.com are the people you will need to go too.

 

anybody know of a good person for body work on an 8 in houston? Someone hit me a while back and my front pass side is still a little off after having a crappy body shop try and fix it, but now i have the money to get it fixed

 

Ok dude thanks a lot! I'm taking my car to RX7.com so they can do a diagnostic on it. I keep thinking with all this money I'm spending that I might as well just get an FD

 

Where the hell are the fc ppl at man

 

Still needing a FC mech in Houston as well...

 

need to get in contact with Chuck the engine builder. Anyway i can do that??

 

New to the forum, can't IM yet Chuck, what is the easiest way to reach you?

 

Best to reach out to Area 55 on facebook or Playback at 281-701-5968.

 

Thanks!
