Good Rotary mechanic Gold Coast?

As the title says anyone know or can recommend a good mechanic on the Gold Coast?

I am going to be buying a used RX8 and want to get it checked over real well before parting with my cash.

I use Ken from RX Motorsports in...105 ... SPENCER RD ,NERANG .55272811, He has looked after my car for the last 35,000km he works on his own is reasonably priced and he knows his rotarys far better than the Mazdas boys .

Cheers
Michael

have'nt chimed in here for a while

Hows everyone ???

We need a gold coaster RX8 get together ???

Whadaa ya reckon ??

The problem with rotaries is the limited knowledge of so called experts .

I have an Old tech Rotor ( in my RX8 ) and can get a bunch of people to diagnose any issues.

Piston engines are soooo much easier to mod/ fix .........

Anyway lets have a tamborine Mountain spin ?????hey hey

Would they be near Surfers? I'm going up For Schoolies in the next few days from Sydney and I might need to fill up on a bit of Rotary Oil. And I hope it ain't expensive either

It isn't right having an RX-8 while you are still at school.

Look after it.
My daughter had the best car in her year for a while - a 99 commodore.
She is off to schoolies on Thursday.
