didnt mean to offend too you, and im grateful for the job...i should have clarified...to me its pricey, no matter where you go it will be because its a rotary...cheaper then dealership yes, more expensive then say a 4cyl or v6...rest my case once again my apologies if that was taken the wrong way

Glad to see we have some knowledgable rotary heads out here.

I got rid of my FC and will be getting a FD in the near future while keeping my "turbo peon" as a daily.

Even I can become lost in the headache a rotary is... by the way, my name is James. I'm always happy to try to lend a hand/give advice to the best of my knowledge to anyone who has a rotary.

VA gambler. Where are you located? Any other rotary heads in the No.VA area looking to make some side money? Parts cars are always helpful.

As far as prices on the Rotary vs. an "average V6". lol, a spark plug/wire job on the Stealth runs 130 bucks labor...by a gas station mechanic. Small shops charge more.

<< 1990 RX7 GXL/55k/Rebuilt motor...feels like it'll have some electrical problems in the future

Most of that is labour time lifting the upper intake manifold... what a pain. When I bought my Stealth, it had mismatch plugs between the front and rear banks.

Plugs practically fall out of the '7. It's like a ten minute job.
