I've used the search function, and i've been through different forums as well. All of the mechanics in the 3+ year old threads i've seen have either closed down shop or can't be found anywhere online. Does anyone know of any decent Rotary Mechanics or Rebuilders in the area? I have an engine that's going out soon (hot start issues) and i want to get a rebuild done on it. Do we even have an RX-8 community here in raleigh?

Also, side question. How soon after you start having hot start issues can you expect the seals to completely go out? 5-10k miles?

 

I do not - but I was impressed with Flow Mazda in Greensboro for maintenance and service on my RX-8.

 

All I know are on this list.
If you find someone, please post it there.

.These are the two rotary specific mechanics that would do rebuilds in the area. Rotary Resurrection is reputable from all that I've seen. Rotor Sports Racing seemed overpriced when I spoke to them. But then again, it's Charlotte, and any car mechanic in that area probably comes with a 20% upcharge.

 

just sent kevin from rotary ressurection an email, lets see how this pans out. I've heard his name pop up a couple times but I think i'm willing to make the TN drive.

 

Interested to hear your outcome Abdullah. I'm in the same position you were in with the drivability. Time to get something done.
