melb auto shop
Hi all melb 8 riders ..i will be moving from syd to melb next two months..
do you guys know any good auto shop in melb??? and how many 8 riders in melb ? thanks guys.. |
Few regular RX-8 drivers in Melbourne. A number of rotary shops around but depends where in Melbourne you are going to be. I only take my car to ProMaz.
Cheers Andrew |
Where is ProMaz? and why one there? price/service? apparently the Mazda dealership in Brighton has a good rotary department there.
|
Brighton are good if you are willing to pay the $$$ and your car is basically stock. We used to get 10% discount there but someone figure that with the 10% their prices were > most other dealers.

Really? never realized that - and when i was there sniffing around looking for a place to go they didnt mention that. huh...will have to enquire - doubt they will be 10% now tho. So its just the price you go to ProMAz for?
|
No. They have been around doing rotaries for ages, building some of the best engine around. They built the turbo kit on my car. I like and respect Simon (the owner). He isn't the cheapest around nor the fastest, but I trust him.
|
Yep. Simon is reliable and someone to go to if you want quality work. Not necessary to bother him for an oil change though :)
|
Will he give advice? I would like to change over the exhaust on my 8 at some stage, but do not know the logistics of going about it myself on a rotary. (done it with 2 fords & an FJ holden).
|
Anyone will give advise...It may be to go take a running jump :) but seriously, he gives advise about what he knows and has worked with.
There is nothing different on a rotary to worry about with regards to an exhaust. Get one designed for the 8 and you will be right. Just be aware that the u bolt at the end of the mid pipe is a BITCH to get off and you need a lot of leverage. |
