I had mine rebuilt by a guy out in PA and he did a street port other than that it was just new seals and springs. Si far so good, there is also another guy I think the website is www.rotaryresurrection.com Other than that I think you can get a Mazda Reman for like $1800. As far as modding goes the rotary is one of the easiest engines to work on. There is plenty of room under the hood to work with. I have done some decent upgrades to mine and it took real well to every mod. So dont be scared because the # of rotary specialists/gurus is low in this area. With the I-net these days help is never really to far away. Plus there is a ton of rotary shops nationwide that can build you a motor.

The other is in GF. Marty did my engine install, 30k on that motor now with not one problem, with the motor that is. You dont need to be a rotary guru to own one. Most 7 owners will have there motors built to the needs they want i.e. street port, race port, 3mm seals ect. Working on a rotary has the same principals as a piston motor; air, fuel, spark. So working on them and modifying them is almost the same, if you know how to install a piston motor you know how to install a rotary. Unless you plan on ripping into the motor and changing the dome of the rotor, you'd be fine with owning one.

Eric you are the exception...

I know he has a couple 7's sitting around that he is planning on getting running but he will be buying a motor for them iirc.

There's a guy there that know a lot about them and always got myine running perfect when something was a miss. Otherwise I haden't found anyone else in town.

A little expensive, but one of their mechanics has been working on mazdas forever.
