Mike,

If you can get the parts, I know a great rotary mechanic. The place is in Blackwood, NJ. Jim is the only person I trust with my car. Here's his contact information:

JPR Imports
409 South Black Horse Pike
Blackwood, NJ 08012
(856) 227-1808

If you call, just ask for Jim. Good guy, really knows his stuff. I hope that helps.

 

A "tuner" or a tuner? Are you doing some modifications to the car or looking for someone who can tune an ECU?

 

hey, thanks for the info philodox. to answer yor question icemastr im am just looking to do some mods to my car.

No problem Mike.. Welcome to the obsession.. uhm.. I mean club :p

 

Many of us here on the board like Racing beat. They are Rotary specialists that put out great products for the RX7 & RX8.

 

Yup, I got all the suspension parts that Racing Beat offers.. I autocross with my 8 and I am very happy with the Racing Beat suspension peices. Prices are very reasonable too.

 

thanks guys ill check it out

 

you can call smoking joe racing they only deal with rotary cars .phone number 516 616-5812 there located in long island

 

Acosta motorsports in wallington NJ, they have the 800 hp Rx-8

 

and they are the most overpriced tuner i've ever come across.....

they have FERRARI prices....

 

haa god bless your car if you let them work on it.tell them sergio told you so they did some work for me and it looked like a 11 yrs old worked on it. (total garbage)

 

Trust me man.. it's worth the drive down to South Jersey to have Jim work on it.

 

i was going to get my zex kit installed by jim but i back off as he said he never put one on on a rx8 .so it still laying in my closet along with my canzoomer, rotors.and next is the coilovers.i might just call him when i have everything i need to buy and have him installed it.

 

Yeah, he's a turbo guy mostly.. though, he is putting a turbo/nitrous system on the dragster he's making

 

He has experience with nitrous. Maybe he has never installed it on an 8, but that doesnt mean he wont do it right. He was probobly just being honest and saying he hasnt done it on an 8. I remeber YEARS ago he was on the news with his silver 2nd gen down on front street street racing. LOL...
