A friend and I were cruisin around this weekend and found this shop. I was wondering if anyone has heard of it, or been to it, or had any experience with them:

THE ROTARY SHOP
7375 W VICKERY BLVD
FORT WORTH, TX 76116
Phone: (817) 732-5081

Map attached:

 

never heard of it. i'll ask my friend Brock what he knows about it.

 

I am wondering if Scalli has heard of it.....

 

I'm interested too. They are about 5 minutes from me. They've been there for at least 10 years that I've known of. Maybe someone on the RX7 forum knows of them.

 

I am lik'em so far because they are close.

 

I've never been that way down Vickery before. I'd be interested too.

 

Those guys have been there close to 20 years. They are not a mod shop at all. The owner goes by "Red". They are damn nice people and for general repair, straight up engine rebuilds, etc. they are probably the best priced shop in town.
I had a coil blow on one of my second gens a couple years back when I was at lunch close by there. I limped it over and they threw a coil on it for a DAMN good deal and I was back to work in no time. :D So they are good people in my book

 

Awesome, thanks for the info, I knew you would know them :D

 

So where is the best "Mod Shop" around here for the Rotarys that could due some tuning?

 

For a dyno tune it would have to be Rotary Performance. Road tuning is way too dangerous IMHO. That does not sit well with some of my tuner friends that don't own dynos. But them running a car at 140/150 down a public highway is a fatality or 10 waiting to happen

 

and where is rotary performance?

Ouch. That's a drive. Just ask N-O.

 

Thanks Scalli !!

 

Not only that but go to www.rx7.com that is them. They are pretty well known nationally. Chris Ott is pretty well known as well as Ari Yallon. The longer you are arounf rotors the more you will hear these names.

 

him and steve had a big rivalry back in the day but ari passed him up fast in the street tire class!

damn that was a while ago!

 

Rotary Performance would probably be a good place to post a flyer for the Austin Trip, Anyone close to them?

 

I will call Chris on Monday and run the idea past them. There is no reason I can think of that they would not be willing to do it. THey used to have dyno days which was bad ***. Anthony Bulger would cook all kinds of great food and we would have a great time.
now there were some guys with some turbo cars throwing down some serious HP.
We are not seeing any serious HP 8's right now.

 

Cool, if they are for letting some flyers go up there is there anyone that can take them up there? I will print them.....

 

I will see if we can just email it and let them print them off. I am pretty sure that would be a very easy thing for them to handle.

 

That would be great, thanks Scalliwag!

 

just email it to me if you can. scalliwag@scalliwag.com

 

done

 

Chris emailed back and said he would post it and spread the word. Since this is the same weekend as Rotary Revolution in Indy the RP guys won't be able to make it. Obviously they have to make what is now the biggest rotary event.

 

Great!

We will have to go check out his shop sometime......
