Reputable rotary mechanics in the Denver/Boulder area?

Postby RXMiles » Sat Dec 29, 2012 9:14

So far I have not come across any shops that work with our engines. There is a shop in North Boulder called Coyote Motors, I believe. The owner of the shop has a good rep for working on Mazda's but said he'd no longer work on rotaries. :(

Any good shops?

I don't have the info in front of me right now, but there is supposedly a place in Denver called Import Motors (I think) that started working on rotaries, and branched out to other things. I've never been there, I just found their info somewhere in regards to having worked on rotaries, and wrote it down.

Coyote Motors is top-notch. I've been a client for 18 years. But if Wolfgang's no longer working on rotaries...

I'm in Boulder and happy to see if I can help - though I will try to sell you my race car.

And there is a lot of expertise on this forum.

What do you need done?

I'm almost positive Mofab sent out the engine they had to Goopy to get built.

Along those lines. Are there any shops in the Denver Metro area that rebuilds rotaries? I have a FD that needs its 3rd motor. I was googling for shops and came across this thread.

Opened and closed? Just one, and I closed it only to open GRID-1 when I decided to go PRO Racing and limit the amount of work I do on street cars. Most of what I do now is roll cages, tuning on the dyno, chassis and suspension setup, etc. and of course, racing.

EDIT- Occurred to me you might have been asking how many locations I have been in-
The first was in Aurora and I ended up moving because we had a couple of customer cars broken into and the other tenant was a PITA.
The second was in Commerce City and I would have stayed there or bought the building but the owners wanted too much for the rent compared to other properties that were available and we moved to the Englewood location as a temporary location with the intent to build or buy if something came available. Unfortunately I have been too busy racing etc. and back-burnered the hunt for a property.
I just moved from the Englewood building because they were threatening to raise the rent, and I was paying too much per sqft as it was, and had a 1000sqft of showroom and office space I never used, a complete waste of space.
The "new" location is OK, but I am looking for a building to buy, tired of paying rent and need a facility more tailored to what I do.

I rebuild rotaries. I tend to have most parts to rebuild rotary engines- 13B and Renesis- on hand and in stock, mostly because we race them.
