I am so fortunate to have Banzai Racing only about an hour from me. I had my engine rebuilt by Chris and the engine bay detailed as well. (Elaine's favorite job!) Chris and Elaine make the perfect team to run this business. Both are personable and enthusiastic in what they do. They take the time to listen to what you have to say and have given excellent advice to smaller issues that I have had.

Where to begin? My 1985 GSL-SE came to Chris in July of 2012 on a trailer from Florida with no engine, and no transmission (long story). They both worked with me to come up with a design of a car that was classic first gen on the outside with all of the performance, benefits, fit and finish of a car that could have rolled off the assembly line last week.

One of the best things about working with Banzai is their timely, and thorough communication. I've never had any type of contract work done so well before; updates to the website, emails of photos of parts when they arrived and prompt response to questions.

I'm in the middle of breaking in the new engine, so I'm being gentle with it; but it's clear that this engine just wants to pull and pull while sounding so damn sweet and mellow the whole time.

One of the things that I've learned in this experience is that it winds up being a lot more cost effective to have the right people do the work in the first place.

After a nightmare of a job by a previous shop that blew up my engine, Chris's rebuilt my engine to pure perfection. I couldn't be more happy with Banzai. Chris knows these cars inside and out. I've been around several FD "techs", none compare to Chris's knowledge and attention to detail. I have also bought many products from Banzai with absolutely 0 complaints.

In addition Chris and Elaine are by far the most responsive tandem I have ever dealt with. How they are able to respond so quickly and still run the shop is beyond me. It is also one of the cleanest shops I have ever been to. If you are looking for a Rotary expert, look no futher, Banzai is your shop! A+++++++++ service, quality, and knowledge!

Just letting you know I got the Koyo today. I buy a lot of overseas goods and this is the second time I’ve bought from you and you amaze me how quick your service is. Thank you for the up to date details on every stage of the process and just overall unmatched service.


Take care and you’ll hear from me again for sure

Just writing to say that I got the car and I drove it for the first time, seen it for the first time and I can not tell you how happy I am. Thank you so much for everything. The car is absolutly great. You guys are wonderful. Thank you

Just writing to let you know how happy and grateful I am with the car. I have about 450 miles on it now and the car feels great. It feels a lot stronger than what it did before already and I haven't even boosted it yet. Everything looks great the people that have seen the engine bay are amazed of how clean it looks. I love the car and I'm hoping I can have the 2500 mile by next year so I can get it tune and see what it really has. Thanks again.

Holy #@*&t!! Bolted right up unlike some other peoples braces...not going to say any names but Banzai's is by far the best. It stiffened the entire rear end up so much the car drove like it was brand new from the dealer. It has such a tight feeling to it everyone who has a FD really needs to go and get this Diff Brace. Perfect example.....believe it or not i Cracked my PPF. When i first got my FD and looked at it i said no way am i cracking that! Ha, I cracked it and didnt even know. I guess i must of launched it and literally craked it in half but only felt the clunking and heard it when i really stepped on the throttle. I knew i broke something so i said &*%@ it. Purchased the diff brace a few days later and it arrived a few days later. Installed it that day. Now i knew i broke something but didnt know what. I do all my work on my back in my yard. didnt really notice anything weird. Installed the brace. Took all of 20 minutes to jack the car up, remove Mazda's crappy little support holder and installed Banzai's Brace. Went for a spin.....7k each gear...nothing.....no noise and stiffer than board. I was in love. It drove so beautifully. It actually drove better because there was no movement what so ever back there and was really amazed. For the price you really cant beat it and a monkey can install the brace!! Easy as pie!! im telling you guys get them while you can. Id sell them for more if it was me....one product that works, really works. A+++

And remember when i told you guys i didnt know that my PPF broke? Well when it was on the lift at T And R Tony was the one who spotted it. He was looking at the Diff brace and said he really liked it and when looking a bit more HE was the one that showed me it cracked where it holds up the Diff. So all that time it was broken but the Diff Brace held it up to the point where you couldnt even tell. Im telling you guys well worth the money spent. Worth every penny.

I've been on this board awhile and bought alot of parts from people and vendors, so it takes alot to impress me, but wow Banzai Racing. What can I say their good people. I've been waiting to post my feedback as I've finally broken in my rebuild. Their turn-around time is second to none and also Chris has great patience and great advice about the many questions I had about my new eng. and future mods. etc.
I thought the engine shipping would be a pain but I was wrong.They have it nailed down and Elaine takes care of all the little things(like tracking etc.) so you don't have to. I've also got other parts from them and they always ship fast and are as described. So if there is a doubt in your mind about engine rebuilds or whatever, TRUST Banzai, they are pros.

Hey guys, I just wanted to take a moment this morning to thank you both for your hospitality and hard work. I didn’t realize how my car really ran until Chris got out and I was all alone on the open road, with the crisp breeze and the changing leaves. Chris really brought the car to life, he made it more responsive, easier to drive and faster, I couldn’t have asked for better service. The price was more than fair and I’ll not only recommend you to anyone I can, but I’ll be back time and time again. I’ve found in life, the older I get, the more important it becomes that I feel comfortable with whomever I do business with, and sometimes that means driving a little further or paying a little more, Just so at the end of the day I have a smile on my face…You are well worth the drive, and the price is unbeatable…Thanks Again

I would highly recomend talking to Chris Sanders at Banzai Racing. He rebuilt my motor about a year ago and cost, quality, return time and customer service were the best i have seen in any business. Igot a web page.... actually multiple web pages of pics that showed the progress of my motor since i live 2 hours away. it felt like i was there everyday watching him work on my motor. he had it done before i could get the money which didnt take that long. he was quicker then i was lol. I had to replace an iron and before i knew what was going on Chris already had a replacement for me and gave me an awesome price for it.

I had my motor streetported, and acouple of other things done. its an auto 89 vert. kinda a slow rx7, but just last night I smoked an Audi TT on the highway. he had no chance to catch up. and the motor has taken some beating. and its running better then the day i got the car back.

I will trust Chris on anything for my rx7 for the rest of my life. I'm planning on moving to Florida soon and i will drive or ship my car up to Indiana for any of the work I need done.

Just to give a quick back ground. Ibought my fd almost 4 years ago, 100% stock running great. last year after a very bad chain of events with a mazda dealer. this past springI had to tow my non-running, leaking every thing fd to Banzai Racing (3hr. 45min.). I was told by two fd owners, they were the best around. Chris and Elaine were great to work with and they give great advise. by early summer and few mods I was pulling 338rwhp, but the best part is what happend last week and is why Iam writing this today. two weeks ago i was down for some tunning and i thought the car was running great, better than ever. after tuning chris was not happy about my idle, he made some adjustments and told me to keep an eye on it and to come back asap so he could look in to it a little more. i returnd the next week with spark plug wire Chris suggested by email Ishould up grade, that might fix the idle that I thought was fine. after 20min. of testing he told me he was going to pull and rebuild my engine. I almost s**t myself, I told him he was crazy and to check again. He told me it had to be done and it was all under warranty. I got the car back and it is better than ever. The point to all of this is, after all the problems I had with mazda and all the problems I hear poeple having with other shops even just getting parts. It really nice to know someone still will do the right thing, take pride in their work and be truthful. Chris and Elaine are the best! you couldnt pay me to go any were else.
