I recently read an article in Modified magazine that featured this site owner's vehicles. It piqued my interest, mainly because I wanted to track down the man who built his engine. So here I am.

I own a 1989 Rx-7 TII, that I purchased back in 2004. After a brief time with it, about 2 years, the engine started to lose compression and was unable to maintain idle. I saw this and immediately started making plans to rebuild, yanking the engine and many other parts in the process. Well, life interrupted and my plans got shelved for some time. The car has sat for several years now, and I am finally issuing myself the ultimatum of getting it running or selling it and moving on. I obviously prefer the first option, and that's why I am here. I also have been lured back from the lure of a V8 swap, I had all but purchased a new V8 before my Mazdaspeed6 with newly installed intake, reminded me how much I love a turbocharged engine. I realize now how much I miss and would miss the old rotary!

It's going to be a long road back, I could use all the help I can get. My first decision is where to get the engine rebuilt. I look forward to spending some time on the board, thanks for listening/reading.
