well, im pretty much interested in either a 2nd gen (turbo II) or fd and im wondering if there are any good shops or individuals in this area???

There's a shop in Manassas called Peter Ferrell or something like that. They deal mainly with rotaries.

Get a new car?

at the moment im still doing some research on rotary engines and trying to figure if they are good reliable motors and for the most part they are, because

A: compared to piston engies they have (3rotor)4 moving parts:~45(piston)
B: everything flows smoothly in one direction whereas in piston engines the connecting rods are being forced up and down violently
C:rotary engines are also internally balanced with counter-weights to reduce vibration

The rotary engine is definitely one of a kind. Unfortunately, the apex seals get worn out easy. Your right though, less moving parts and counter wieghts are an advantage. I saw a couple 2nd gens for sale in the vehicle for sale section. Good luck!

Peter Ferrell is the guy to go to with rotaries

Peter Farrell is okay, but he's a dick, and he's moving his shop right now anyways... My two recommendations locally are:

RP Performance, in Manassas... The owner's name is Bret, and he works on RX-7s, Miatas, and anything else Mazda... He's the guy I go to if I don't do the work myself...

Performance Buyer's Club, in Chantilly...
