Hi guys,

Rebuild time is coming up due to water seal failure.
I guess this has been discussed many times here but I\'m lazy :rolleyes:

So if you have time just drop your thoughts here of where you\'d go or you went for your rebuild and why.

Cheers!

I\'ve two different engines built by Steve Rivett down in Banstead !
He does a really good job and quick turn over time. All his porting is done using pineapple racing templates and he is very well priced. He also does all modding such a non sequential conversion and inter cooler install. PM me for his details

I would recomend JM garage for rebuilds :) he is honest about what needs doing and doesn\'t cut corners so that the engine he builds is the best it can be :)

Hi RX7

Not sure how transport to Portsmouth would be for you but I would strongly recommend Re-Worx in Portsmouth they re-built my engine some time ago, set it up on the rolling road once run in and it runs like a dream.
I went down to their premises and watched the engine being taken apart and Chris didn\'t mind being asked dumb questions, from what I have since learned about the cost of re-builds it was not expensive.

I\'d be speaking to Era De Clerk at Oldone/AKA the Rotorshed - top bloke and very knowledgeable. The quality of his work is second to none :) I trusted him to do my porting, and I\'m a very sceptical person :D He more than rewarded my trust!

Also saw some of the engines he was working on, and I\'ve seen several of his ones that have been running very well for extended periods of time. Big thumbs up :)

its obviously down to personal preference but I wouldnt use anyone but Dragon, always give top advise and there results on track ,drag and drift speak volumes for the knowledge and standard of the work.

i do have to say ross at dragon is a great bloke, hes helping me with mine and seems like he has a mountain of knowledge, every time i mentioned an idea to him we were on the same wave length, he seems to be the guy to go to for road mapping

Well i\'m new to Rotarys and have spoke to a few tuners this month and they all seem very evenly priced and very helpfull . This is most welcome and a shock as i\'m used to Ford tuners with bad manners , Yachts and drug habbits too support !!!!! lol .  
A decent street ported turbo engine is about £2000-£2500 depending on weither the doner engines housings etc etc are any good or not . They all charge about the same for porting and for parts so just go by who\'s the nearset to a cafe !!! :chat
It would be handy to have a tuners list on here so us newbies know who\'s who . Also a list of who the pro-tuners with workshop units , dynos etc are and who the home tuners are . For example i didn\'t know there was a bloke in Banstead doing them and i only live 5 minutes from there . :o

the guy in banstead is steve and i spoke to him for the first time today and he seems well clued up and trust me when i say he does not let you put the phone down, main tuners with rollers are guys like RE:WORXS and they done my dyno and they are good guys but theres plenty more around
