Orange County, CA shops

Does anyone know any other shops in OC that you guys would trust your RX8 to? I called Yoshida at NeptuneSpeed and he is pretty booked until after next week. I wanted to do this much sooner than that. Any other recommendations?

nothing big... Just the plugs, wires and Coils.. I dont have the tools myself to do it and will need to buy it, and also in a time crunch too. Took my car to the dealer on sat and then it went down hill from there...

There's Rotary Reliability/Fast Freddie's on Harbor - i'm not sure what city that is tho but if you google it - you should be able to get the info. It's in OC.

Reliable has been written up in Road and Track as one of the greatest Rotory shops.

dozer, Thanks for the offer bro.. I might actually take you up on that. Only concern I have is that if i have something more materially wrong with the engine, i wanted to take it to a shop so i have a receipt of this procedure. I bought my plugs a few months back off someone on this site and the wires and coils too.. So I don't have a receipt for the product purchases... Am i just being paranoid?

Dozer,

I actually saw your ignition coil DIY last night... looks great!! haha.. .I am going to try that tomorrow night as you made it look very easy to do.. I am thinking taking out the stock air box will be harder than the actual Coil Swap.. The plugs, i might still need help on... If you are around on Saturday to help me, that would be awesome. I would definitely bring beer and food haha... let me know, might just be for the plugs as I am assuming swapping the wires is easy??

plugs and wires are waayyyy easy, the hardest part of swappin out the plugs would probably be taking the tire off

jpmswiss: check out Mazdatrix in Signal Hill (close to H.B.) and Racing Beat to get an idea of what's available.
