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.

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.

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

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.
