Latest Rates on Rebuild (Calgary)

Hey Rotary Owners,

I own R3 2009, Was considering rebuild, Any idea how much it costs in Calgary if anyone has done it recently.

Haven't heard how much they cost but RX7 specialties in Calgary has a great reputation for rotary builds.

Option 2 Can't remember what the price was when I asked about a rebuild but surprisingly resonable, my dealership part tech stated that oem rebuilds have a flat rate dollar amount mark up, not a percentage.

option 3 RotarymachineRX had his REW built and rebuilt by someone between Edmonton and Red Deer. You could pm him for feedback

Shifting issues were solved for my 8 by new engine mounts and changing the transmission fluid to RedLine (thread here: https://www.rx8club.com/series-i-tec...-fluid-270351/).

No promises, just hope.
