Question
I live in Cocoa Beach and my 93 non-turbo 300 zx sounds terrible.  I took it to the dealer several years ago and they rebuilt the engine; however, I am not real confident in there work.  Do you know someone with a passion for the 300 zx engine who knows it though out.

Answer
Hi Vincent:

My apologies for not responding sooner, I had a computer problem this morning and couldn't send an answer to you for a while .

I know two people in Melbourne who I would trust completely, the first is Jerry Larsen. Jerry is retired from his business, but could certainly recommend a trustworthy shop to you, phone is (321) 984-9074, you can ask if he's interested in doing customer work, but mostly he does race cars only now.

The other is Atlantic Auto Works , the owner's name is David Boles.  I think they might specialize in VW products, but again I would trust anything Dave told me. His number is (321) 254-8014

I have known both these gentlelmen for nearly 20 years, and would not hesitate to recommend either one to anybody. They are honest truthful, and very highly qualified in their trade.

Good luck

Experience

I have been racing for 20 years, I have been the Central Florida SCCA Regional Championship points for 5 years running, and won the championship in my class 2 times. During my first start in the 60's I won many solo awards and the State Championship Drags. I serve as a senior instructor for SCCA, and have taught in Mercedes AMG events at Daytona, and Dodge Viper Days at Sebring International. I have been in the thick of the competition for all of my career. At one time or another I have driven race cars at speeds nearing 195 MPH. It's quite a ride !
