my car is really heaving me a headache with the hard starts when hot and sometimes even when cold. does anybody knows any good shop locally that works on rotaries? starter has been replaced along with spark plugs and fuel pump, did the engine decarb and that helped only a little. I probably need a compression test.

Mine was doing the same thing. Found out I had 2 coil packs failing part of the time, when they were hot.


I like my wheels they are just the wrong color....

So when we meeting up?

^ Everything he just said haha.

who rocks 19's on our cars....

But Jtran did want to tune my car. Just like he stated above...we know a specialist that works on Rotarys. I just don't know if he is willing to work on cars besides ours since he offered myself and RXGuh only and hasn't advertised himself out.

But in terms of motor issues...I don't think Johnny touches rotaries (fixing the motor). But is willing to tune it. When I told him about my mods he wanted to tune it and he knows our car pretty good when he talked to me about tuning the rx8.
