I'm PROBABLY buying an engine for my rx8 (2009+) soon. As such I'm debating between paying a shop to put it in (800-1800 range from what I've heard) or putting it in myself.

Is anyone around Kitchener/Waterloo/St.Catharines/Stoney Creek/London/Missisauga familiar with pulling/putting engines out/in? I'd probably be willing to drop 400-600 for your time. But I'd need a place to work and an engine hoist. Otherwise I'm renting/buying a hoist and doing this **** myself. Lol.

Is your engine not under warranty 160 KM if there really something wrong with it. How many K's

 

My engine has 230000 kms.

 

Joe is your guy. Do it right the first time and save the hassle.

 

FYI, Joe announced yesterday that he was shutting down RPM again to take a job with Mantella Autosport.

Perhaps Marco "thewird" could take it on.

As an aside, 230,000km on a 09? Wow. Good stuff.

 

I messaged Marco and his price was a little ridiculous...

 

Marco and Joe are worth everything they request. It's also their business - so you're not going to get the price that a backyard mechanic would offer.

 

Gfx Automotique in Brampton is also a great rotary shop. They worked on James Kutschke's PP RX-7 which ran in the top 3 places at CSCS for the last couple of years.

 

Sounds good. I've got a couple options now which I appreciate. Now comes the hunt for a low km series II 13b or a wrecked low km series II... woooo...

Keep the recommendations coming if you know anybody else.
