LA B.R. Area Mechanics/Member

Hi, Guys

Im new to rotaries and just purchased a RX8 recently from a member here on the forum. It has an issue with it leaking coolant and Im trying to trace it. Is there any reasonable shops or mechanics anyone know of in the B.R. area.

P.S. If any of guys are experienced that would be great too, looking to hook up with more RX8 members anyway. Let me know or post a #

coolant leaks are pretty simple to find, is it leaking from the front or back of the engine bay? *easy way to find it is park the car...where does the puddle form on the ground?* Not many places on a rotary that it can leak coolant from, i'm willing to bet its just a busted radiator or a dryrot hose.

Sway bars are sold already.
I bought a shifter cart to race. Using the 8 to tow the cart and need to be at stock height. Thought I could use the racing beat springs as they advertise a 1/2" drop. But I would say it's a little bit more. Trailer hitch a little low with them.

A couple launches at 0-60 in under 3 sec. and you might change your mind! Or a 120 MPH down the straight at NPR an inch off the ground.
