So then what kind of motor is he getting built? LOL
Is he going to have the Renisis built right back to stock....or have some modifications done to it to prevent it from blowing up again?

By thicker apex seals, I hope you mean taller....
If your going to the bother of milling the rotors out to accept 3mm apex seals than you should consider also having them milled deeper to accept 3mm apex seals from an RX-7.
Although I'm not a big fan of 3mm apex seals, its really not needed. The stock 2mm Mazda seals that are used in the 2nd and 3rd generation RX-7's work fine, the only problem with the renisis is that their apex seals are shorter and tend to break.

It sound like they know what they are doing.

Yea they are machining the grooves themselves, but the guy who has been doing it for years got in a car accident supposedly and thats why they havent been working on for a long time. But he's back and ready for action so it should move quicker now. No they arent ceramic to my knowledge.
