Any Rebuild Shops In Arkansas??

I'm looking for a rotary rebuild shop, and search is not my friend. I've been looking on here and Google, and even asked the guy at my parts store that used to own an rx-7. (I'm really reaching out here-)

I have an 04 with 135k on it. The car runs fine as is, but I know it's just a matter of time before it dies. I want to find a shop before I have an immediate need for a rebuild. I'm located in Hot Springs, Arkansas- any help you have is appreciated.

I would contact RIP IT. He is in the vendor forum here. He is in OK though. BDC (Brian D. Cain) is also near Dallas. I'm not aware of any reputable rotary shops in AR.

I used to live there and I never heard of a rotary shop in Arkansas. It will cost you more to do that than get a refurb one from Mazda for $2001. Downside to that is u don't really know what ur getting. Different people have had different experiences with refurb engines from Mazda, but depending on ur financial situation depends on what decision u make probably.

Brad @ RIP IT is a great guy. He is doing my fd build. Your looking at 2500 for rebuild, 1000 for removal and reinstallstion. He gives a 2 yr 24,000 mile warranty on all renesis rebuilds.
