The Garage in Wishaw/Motherwell is a good choice. Mark Light, the owner, has worked on several scots owned RX7\'s.

Just emailed the garage in motherwell, they look good to! not sure about haywood? Do they have a website? further north the better!:yes

I\'d use The Garage for most things mechanical - they do my MOT and replaced my rusted brakelines- but if I was getting engine work done or mapping I\'d go much further south.

Does the garage not do mapping or eny of that? because i think thas what mine needs, its running with a straight through exhaust and induction kit and bigger intercooler but sill on the stock ecu and am told its overboosting and thats why it splutters at high revs? but i have put evrything back to stock and it sill does it so need some one that knows what there doing! Looking into getting a apexi power fc, so i can set it up for the mods

They\'ll probably be willing to have a go, but I wouldn\'t go with anyone other than the recognised experts for mapping.  These guys are used to skylines, evo\'s and scoobies - their engines are a lot less sensitive to a bad tune than an RX7.  If the tuner gets it wrong, it\'s bye-bye engine.

 That\'s very true as quote above
don\'t know anything about Rotary mapping in Scotland.
 it\'s good to know if they can do mapping the Rx\'s spot on but...............................?
that\'s the question!!
it\'s up to you;)

Hi mate, might be worth giving AVA in Glasgow a shout - i had them sort the fueling out on my fd. I think the guys name is Alan (bad memory...), he\'s worked on a few rx\'s in his time and he was one of the first people i spoke to that didn\'t freak out when i mentioned i wanted him to look at a rotary!

I think as you are gonna be quite a trek to anyone up here you might be as well getting the car transported down somehow to a specialist down south?:3Confused

As someone else has said rice rockets in Linton, never used them myself but not heard anything negative so let us know if you do and how it goes - would be great if we have a good specialist up here!

Aubec

I think that if there was a garage up here that considered themselves a rotary specialist they\'d be all over MRC and FD:UK like a rash trying to stop us lot from driving down south when we need work done.
