    I recently purchased a 1969 Lotus Europa with a engine conversion from a 1987 Mazda RX7 (13B Rotary Engine.)
    Does anyone know of any service shops that specifically work on 13B rotary engines in Mississauga, or Toronto Canada?

    Your help is greatly appreciated.

    Sorry I don't know who can help you, but I'd like to hear more about your Europa and see pictures of the engine bay.

    Jeff, I don't have pics of the engine compartment at this time....this past summer I detailed the engine, tidied-up the wiring & painted the manifold the notorious Lotus yellow & green colours. I have restored the deck lid (compounding of the paint & final high speed polish), also installed a 'fuel injection' insignia on the deck (painted Lotus yellow)...with all other badges & chrome bits polished & detailed.
    I have attached a pic of the car when we received it & restored deck lid....apprently this car with the Mazda 13B Rotary engine goes like a "Scalded Dog"!

    I will send you pics of the engine bay in the spring.
    Ron
    PS. I apologize in advance if the pics do not work... If you are interested please provide me with your email address and I will send you them via email.

    Can-Jam Motorsports in Thornhill. They do mostly Subaru now since they were prep shop for factory rallyteam, but before they got that gig, they were racing Mazda rotaries.

    Thanks for all of the reponses... I have emailed them ( I will phone Marco at Magnus) I appreciate your help!... I will keep you posted on the progress made on the Europa, and when it will be coming up for sale.

    PS. I went to "Manage Attachments" and tried uploading some pics...It came back saying my Jpeg file was to large... If you are interested in the car please PM me, and I will send you some photos.

    Regards,
    Ron

    Can't offer any help, but the idea of a Europa with a 13B sounds intriguing! I'd love to take such a thing for a spin...

    Any engine bay photos?
    I'm very interested in this, as I won 4 LA State Autocross Championshipos in a Europa TC several decades ago. Sounds like fun!

    I will go to the car next weekend (5 of my cars are located at my parents home) and I will take a few engine bay photos. If there are anymore specific photos you would like feel free to ask!

    Regards,
    Ron
