so i expect to get my springs today. anybody recommend a shop to take my 8 to? i was thinking of evolution autosport in chantilly, they charge $300. any other recommendations???

 

answered my own question....found a place for cheap! they'll do it for $160, no more than $200...

MANASSAS PARK, VA Index

i know a guy that owns a FC3S he says they aren't too bad...but that may be sue to lack of rotary shops in northern va:D

 

I was just about to recommend them :D

Bret did all the work on my FC when I had it. He's definitely a good guy to do business with.

btw they are now called RP Performance, since they have now expanded to work on piston engine Mazdas now too.

 

they're not open weekends tho...i'd have to drop my car off during a weekday.. hard to coordinate :-(

 

There's also PBC in Chantilly

http://www.performancebuyers.com/

 

That's wierd, what kind of shop isn't open on teh weekends. I can understand being closed sunday but satyrday. that is wierd. ah well

 

do these guys have anything fo rthe 8? Has anyoen talked to them? their web site only has the 93-95 FD3S .... i wonder what they can do for our babies

 

I went to PBC for my winter tires mounting and balancing, PM me for more info.

They seemed more than willing to work on 8s when I asked about stainless brake lines.

 

sometimes he has the shop open on Saturday mornings if he needs to finish things up.

but during the summer, sometimes he won't have the shop open even on Fridays, because he'll be out racing on the tracks :D

gotta ask Bret if he's a racer first, or a shop owner first? :D

 

FYI, there's also this guy Scott who owns a store in Manassas called Hi Flow Custom Exhaust, his # is 703.392.6016. He does custom exhausts and also spring work.. I'm gonna stop by next weekend and see whats up.

 

o just checked with Rotary Performance adn they'll install my flywheel and pressure plate and clutch for $300 nto bad at all much better than teh grand from teh dealership..ouch that's as much as all that crap cost me. ehe now if only i can scroung up 300 bucks. lol

anyone knwo of any other rotary shops that have been around and you woudl trust taking your baby too?

 

no clue...i'm going to have my springs done at hi flow custom for $200..i wanted to get it done at rotary performance so i can know a rotary guy...but they're closed on weekends..too bad

 

awe well i'll tell you how they are whenever i finaly get my racingbeat clutch and pressure plate (to go along with my ms flywheel) i ordered from them..(probable be done in a well or two). i'll keep you all posted on how they do on an 8:D

 

army, keep us posted... so i got my springs installed on saturday. so far so good. i actually like the ride quality a little more now. the ride is basically the same as factory, but i could def feel a difference, especially going into a corner. i would recommend hi flow custom to anyone who needs work done on their car.

 

I'm not sure if this shop is Rotary Performance in Manassas or not. But I seem to remember a RX-7 specialty performance shop somewhere in the Sudley & Rt. 28 intersection area. It was actually located behind a Food Lion close to this intersection. Can anyone confirm or deny this? I don't get to the Manassas area much, but did go to this shop years ago to look over a 300Z for a friend.

 

well i finaly got all the parts in for my baby. going to have them installed at Rotary performance in manassas next thursday (first day i have free). on a side note teh racing beat pressure plate is made my exedy :D and the clutch (at least the street hd clutch they sell) is made mby Clutchnet (looks beautiful) D i can't wait. oh and the throw out bearing i got from them (RB) is a genuine mazda part:D

 

Know if Rotary performance does exhausts? I'm getting a hair growing...

 

yes RP does exhaust, bolt-on exhaust at least, not sure if Bret has welding capability now...

hey army let me know how it goes with the clutch install at RP, I may give old Bret a call if it turns out GOOOOD :D

 

will do..let ya know in a week what the 411 is:D

 

bump

so army, did you get your car back from RP? How's the new flywheel/clutch setup feel????? :D

 

any of u guys know where i can have my wheels painted ???

 

i am droping the car off tomarrow so i'll be able to tell you al tomarrow night how it is. haha sorry it took me so long to get it installed but i've been really busy:p

 

Going to hijack this thread but anyone of you comfortable drilling holes on my 8? I want my ms side installed hehe... Draco wont but will help ... any brave men around here lol

 

Nope, sorry. i can watch and be nosey Army, what is RP charging you for the work?..i'm thinking about getting my pulleys done. i need info on wheel painting, i got my G Games 2 pc wheel today and want them painted black ASAP so i can put on my 19s ASAP :D
