GTA Recommended Maintenance/Performance Shops
Hi,
Looking for recommendations for maintenance/performance shops in the GTA that know what they’re doing regarding the RX8 and rotary engines? I’ve had some bad experience with going to Mazda lately...
My 2005 RX8 GT is in need of some work / tuning and I’m thinking about a turbo install.
Thanks in advance,
Rob

Hey everyone, haven't been on this site in ages. I have owned my rx8 for the last 12 years. Never winter driven. I think its time for a rebuild. creeping up on 144K. I reached out to Marco at RX Tuning as well as Mazmark. wondering if anyone has dealt with either of them lately. Thanks!

Marco won't rebuild you an engine he'll just get a mazda reman and swap it out. He doesn't believe in rebuilding renesis engines. Can-Saf will though if you contact them. Also so would Rx7 specialties but you would have to ship them the engine which isn't that bad I've done it a couple times before

From personal experience, I highly recommend replacing the housings. Can-saf is located in Oshawa. I've never dealt with them personally but I know they are there and offer rebuilds. Joe Ferguson is a good builder but I know he has a backlog. Duncan Wood in Guelph deals mainly with rx7s but worth asking him if he'll do an Rx8 rebuild. What makes you think yours is done have you comp tested it?

If you're on Facebook you should shoot him a message in the Canada Rotary group. He could also likely do a comp test for you. I'm about an hour from Guelph if you wanted one done I could do it as well I have an RCT 5.2. I hope the new sensor helps! Rebuilds aren't as intimidating as they seem after you've done a couple haha, just a lot of time and a bit expensive
