Great shop in Southern NJ.
 

Well guys, this is just FYI if you need a real rotary engine expert to do mods and whatnot if you're dealer won't play ball with you. The shop is located in Blackwood, NJ. It's called JPR Imports. If you need anything done talk to Jim. The number there is 856-227-1808. Really good guy, and very knowledgable. Excellent prices too. Only charged me $250 to put in my lightweight fly. I hope this helps those of you looking for a mechanic other than the dealer to do any mods you might need done. Enjoy.

Jim has been around for a long time.... I will be there today while you are there working on his drag car. He mentioned your 8 coming in for the flywheel today. :)

Oh yeah.. he mentioned that someone was bringing a 7 in there.. is yours the yellow one that's hooked up very nicely?

no, there are tons of 7's in and out of there. I am a long time friend who just so happens to be heading up there to do some work for him since he has to take care of customers. :) luck me... LOL.
the yellow/greenish one is a guy named Jeff.

whats the address for this shop ?

thanks

Never used them, but when I come across info like this I like to keep it on file because 100,000 miles from now I might need to know a local rotary guy. http://acostamotorsports.com/ is another Jersey based shop with Rotary experience.

God bless you if you take your car there.i got rip off by them.first they told me he can tune my canzoomer unit left my car there 2 weeks because he then told me my unit didnt work send the unit back worked perfect tryed it when i got home messing around and it works. and i have no experience tunning but you can tell the car reacts to what your adding.then they drill my header to weld a o2 senser for tunning breaking off the cover that holds the heat ( NICE WAY TO SHOW MY DEALER THAT MY WARRANTY IS OVER.)thanks for telling me .common sense would of told you not to destroy the header and on top of that they cant even weld left the part were they installed the o2 senser leaking all over looked like a 10 yrs old was trying to weld it. well fianally got my car back with a 730.00 bill for trying to tune the car and springs installed. i bet when i left there they were dancing like you bottom icon lol

Very interesting considering that my RX-8 was the first that he actually worked on aside from oil changes. Nice to know there are liars out there willing to try to ruin some shop owners reputation for the hell of it.

just to clarify... you are not talking about JPR... right?

nah... from the looks of it, he was asking for the address for Jim, and was saying these things about the other shop that was mentioned with rotary experience up north. thats my take on it anyway.
nice meeting you today BTW. Beautiful car. :)

Oh.. if that's the case, my apologies for jumping on your back.. I thought you were jumping on JPR's back.. hehe.. Thanks for the compliment. Getting crystal guard done up in Englewood, NJ next week.. I'll post some before/after pics shortly afterwords.

why the hell would i lie you think i have nothing better to do then to pick a shop a make up SHIT .my experience was hell what else can i say come down and take a look at my headers.the work that was done does not look good. matter a fact if i would of taken my car to the dealer without checking i would of been screwed.

i spoke to jpr today and iam going to to a drive there next week to see if he can help me out. i bet you he will have a good laugh when he takes a look at it.

never mind philodox we got mixed up

no prob dude, it's all good.. we all make mistakes.. so it's dust under the carpet.. heh..

Oil Change done by JPR. In fact, I think I was the first 8 he worked on. Will be going back when I need to.

dag

lol funny how you guys were ready to strap on the gloves.lol
p.s slow down on the scrollign and pls read :) back to the shop
any chance of getting pixs of shop and any of there dragsters ?

i know if i didnt know better i would think they worked there

i think confusion is you were talking about mva motorsports service.
and they thought u were talking about jpr.thats why they almost jumped on you
but they know now what & who u were referring too.im not sure if your still confused. :confused:

Well, like I said.. it's dirt swept under the carpet. I'm sorry to hear that your car was jacked up by that one shop. Guess we both need to eat some humble pie and think before we talk ;)

JPR Imports Web address
 

:D JPR Imports in South Jersey, their web site is at www.jprimports.com and www.jprimports.s5.com

They are the only shop I will ever use. Only place that really knows what they're doing.

Does JPR Imprts carry any 20B 3-rotor engines?

JPR has put out a turbo 20b FD. I've spoken to Jim a while back when I first got my car. He told me he could do a 20b N/A or even a Renesis in my FD. Considering Jim dailys an 8, I'm sure he has the knowledge to do a 20b conversion.

Thanks so much! By the way, do you know how much money Jim would take for a 20b N/A conversion for a rx-8? And, will the 20b even pass the NJ smog test?
