Im looking for any available rotary mechanic shops in South Florida... besides Rotary Werks and Petit Racing, seems that everyone else retired and closed doors, or they just dont like to pick up their phones.

I wish you luck. I would think South Florida should have somebody....
I know you here in North Florida there is not anyone. I literally crash courses into a rotary mechanic for my own survival.
Big props to rx8club for all the info available here. Without it, I never would have learned all that I know now.
I see people selling 8s online all over this area, fairly cheap. Problem is, without a proper compression test available nearby, it's like buying a lottery ticket.
I finally got mine working.
It worked it's first month, then died and stayed unstartable for a solid 3 months. In the end, Advance kept selling me brand new faulty coils. I think after several exchanges of whole sets of 4 I ended up with 2 actual good ones.....
Multimeter and test the resistance!! Even if it's new!
ENA from Amazon is who I bought the current coils from. They are cheap and they worked, right away. 1.3ohm at least across.
As soon as I figured out my new coils were all garbage from the Advance store, I ordered and installed ENA coils after testing all 4 good, then wouldn't you know the car cranked right up. Needless to say, getting to that point, I've replaced almost every part on the car powertrain......
