Xtreme Automotive is the name of the shop. Spelled like I just spelled it. I know nothing of the place. I live in Orange County NY, Montgomery to be exact. And this place is located about 20 minutes away in Newburgh NY. This place isn't in the center of newburgh, matter of fact is on the fringe of even being in newburgh. But I rather be safe then sorry. I understand that no matter how much you try, and how far you'll go to protect an investment, a person will steal that investment if they want it bad enough.



So getting back on the point. IF anyone knows any shred of detail that they can throw my direction on this place, give it to me please. Good and bad.



p.s. Here is what i do know: while talking to a fellow 7 owner who happened to be working in Autozone when I had the conversation with him, told me about the place. He said the owner, not only owns 2 7's and a 3, but also races one of the 7's. not sure what style of racing but thats not all that important. He did not tell me whether those vehicles were present at the shop when he took his 7 there to be worked on. P.S. this kid ones three 7's himself all gen 2's. And Thats it in its entirety.

 

That was my original post yesterday which I posted in the second Gen Specific.



This morning I took a drive out to the place to talk to the guy, Ruben, and get a feel for the place. It's a relatively small shop, clean and from my view point impressive. Ruben's been a rotary mechanic since 1990. Exactly how many of the 7's I saw he owned I don't know , but on location I counted 3 white and one blue FC'c, 1 blue FB, and 1 Yellow 500+ horse power RX2. As well he had plenty of engine pieces and rotors on hand. I seriously doubt the rotors were re usable but I could be wrong. I say this because the one I held didn't have the apex seals on it, but I didn't get a good look at the rest of them.



I explained my situation to Ruben. He told me, if you can turn the engine by hand using a long shaft, then it's not seized. To say the least knew I could do that but never bothered to try plus I'd forget to remind myself to do that. I have no Tools at my house that long anyways. My Brother took them all with him to boston for school. "Wyotech".



Tonight I have the car hooked up and ready to transport to the shop to begin the process of "Re"Resurrection tomorrow.



Wish me the best of luck as I wish for all other owners who share in the compelling worries and wallet strains of costly repairs.
