Just wondering if anyone else was in the Jacksonville area... I dont seem to notice too many 'non-stock' CLs here...

 

yo, Im from Jax, and my CL is not stock, I live in argyle, how about you??

 

Yo whats up? I used to live in argyle until last year (small world huh?) Now I live on Fleming Island...

 

I was just out that way about 10-20 mins ago, what color is your CL, I havent seen too many around, only 1 or 2 that Ive seen, so far I have the most moded CL in Jax that I know of, I could be wrong though

 

thats funny... I just came from the cingular place in the publix shopping center @ Argyle... well have to meet up sometime... my girlfriend has a CL too... stock though except for the clear lenses....

 

are you on AOL or have AOL IM?? if so, im me at surf4J Im on aol right now

 

I'm originally from Jax. Lived in Argle Forest till 4th grade. Then moved to Fleming Island (Pace Island). Guess its a REALLLY "small world."

 

LMAO I live in Pace Island!!! Damn, we need to have a reunion & shit....

 

Are you that red CL with clears that is on my street? Salt Myrtle Lane...

If you are...I was that white CL that drove by you all winter break...

 

Hell yeah, I remember your car... I always wondered who that was... yours was slammed with exhaust right? it looked tight....

 

I'm in Jax. in the Baymeadows area. I just bought a 97 3.0. I have only had it a week. I love it. The tranny kinda sucks though. I have heard it before on the board. I guess I have to get used to it. I am going to be doing many things to it soon. Maybe I can meet up with some of you guy's and check your cars out.

All right, another CL in town, their use to be a guy in my hood with a white CL with 18' and lowered but once i got mine and started fixin it up he got rid of it and got a new TL and put some tight rims on it, go fig, but congrats FASTS on you buy, all us CLs should hook up soon, once my car get out of the shop

 

fastsccaguy.. sounds cool.. just let us know... check out my pics in the OG gallery....

 

Thats tight as fuck. I got a forum member that lives 10 houses down from my old pad (2000 Salt Myrtle Lane). I was actually gonna leave you a note to get on this forum cause I saw you had clear corners...Just never got around to it. Too bad I'm not gonna be here this summer though, else we could have rolled out somewhere.

But I'm definitely coming to Jax sometime this summer. We're bringing the CL and the Supra TT down to get out intake manifolds port and polished cause my buddy in Bostwick just bought the machine (free hp ). I also gotta show him the race sceen in Jax.

I don't know if you know Vincent down the street. He's the phillipino with all the moded cars. He used to work for SpeedTek, which was owned by Jon Jon, one of my uncle's really close friends.

Not sure what he drives now...but back when we were in high school, he had a really really modded miata on laughing gas.

Check out my signature link for my car.

Yeah, I knew jon jon back when he installed stereos at Sound Advice... havent seen him in a long time though.. someone told me he hauled ass outta town... ?? Yeah, vincent & them leave kinda across the street from me... I dont think they really like me for some reason though.. anyways.. thats cool as shit...

 

I know vincent from sound advice, I didnt know jon jon movd out of town though, but I belive vincent has a civic now, but all his cars have always looked pretty good, that miata was pretty tight back in the day

 

Jon Jon got a bad rep and lost customers. He fell in love with a girl and went around the world on vacations on the money advances he got from SpeedTek. People's cars would sometimes not get done till 3-4 weeks after the scheduled date. When they would get done...they would be bad installs and the cars would break up (for instance my friend's brother had his eclipse turboed there...within a week it detonated cause it wasn't installed properly). Left town cause everyone wanted to beat his ass. **At least that was what I heard**

SpeedTek HAD potential...only store to have a dyno at the time. But he just didn't set his priorities correctly.

Vince used to date a girl that went to my school. So we knew each other from parties and what not.

 

That is the same storry that I heard, just didnt wanna post it cause I didnt know if it was true.... Yeah, it had potential... I am thinking of opening a shop on fleming island... checking on a location right now.... I am really not sure if it is worth it though, I know it wont be around forever.... plus it is a lot of start up cost...

 

As much as I'd LOVE to have a shop in OP...and although Jax is turning into rice rocket city...

Learn from experiences of the other stores (5th gear..Atlantic Performance..etc etc).

Unless you got something special like a dyno that would attract customers...I don't think it will produce a great profit. Chance is a part of success though. Just IMO.

 

Yep, thats why I am leaning against it.... You know Pat? (filipino) He has a Mercedes w/ 22"s on it?? He bought out atl. performance for only 10k !!!

 

My uncle and my friend Mike Holmes know all the Atlantic Performance people. I bought an intake from Atlantic last winter break and they gave me the wrong one. So, I sawed that shit and got it to fit custom as a cold air. :P

I don't trust those guys...They might know civics, but they know shit for CLs. I eventually just got an AEM, so it doesn't matter now anyhow.

Do you know Adam Cantor? He's a good friend of mine...

Anyhow...hit me up on AIM (JLai3CL)

 

I know theres Speed Craft in town but unless you know them or something, they dont give you the time of day, I went up there and tryed to talk to them about a Venom 400 and all they did was laugh at me talkin about "venom is crap and we dont deal with them", Ive gone up a couple other times but they are nothing but jerks to me, so theres really no-where here in town I know to go to get proformance stuff done to my car, I do the lil I have myself, but anything else I really dont have time for, this town need some cool proformance shops, not jerks

 

Yeah, I got the same vibe from that place... I asked about springs & stuff (before I had mine done) and they acted like they didnt even wanna do it... kinda got a "go somewhere else" attitude... so now I just beat all their slow ass civics that I see... although that supra is fasssstttt....

 

like after I finish the system i want to get an APEXi V-tec controller but I dont know how to hook it up or time it in or anything like that and now theres no-where to go but Speed Craft and they dont give me the time of day, so what am I to do??

 

good question... I got aim up & running..... nine8cl

 

wish I could, but Im at work, I can only type on this site

 

It is kinda a bummer about all the shops moving, or going out of business. I know the Fifth Gear guys real good. They are a good bunch of guys. You gotta go to the one on Atlantic and see Jonas, lee, or Joe. Lee that works there is Pat's brother.

 

Pats car is sweet

 

Good luck this that...

VAFC needs like 10+ connections as I remember correctly....plus custom mount. Then it needs to be on a dyno and run to set the configuration. We have some bad ass shops up here in ATL that do good work. Or you could just go to Miama and get it done there.

 

it sux I have to drive to ATL or miami to get that done, I already know where Id like to mount it and all, its just the whole dyno crap whats goin to suck, I wish it was more like th venom as far as plug and play, but once I get it in I know it will be sweet. but speed craft is out of the question, I can see them chargin me round $700 to $800 for that.

 

Hey i live in McIntosh (between gville and ocala) and go to school in orlando but go up to UNF once in a while and would like to meet you guys and see your cars if you ever set up a meet or something

 

thats cool with me, we'll have to set something up, a good ole' CL meet

 

sounds good to me too... just let me know when & where...

 

Im pretty sure there are a few 2nd generation CL's around too and there are def. a few CLs in orlando on this board. Maybe we could do a huge meet somewhere I dont know up to you guys I dont really have anything major done to my car but i would like to see yours

 

There are some pics of mine there...

 

Yeah i saw them. That is one nice shiney ride you have there

 

I posted some pic a few months ago, but Im a lil upset, I wont have my car for this weekend, they have to keep it over the weekend to finish building my box and stuff, but we'll have to meet up soon,

 

I live in Jax...Hidden Hills!

 

where is hidden hills??

 

Hidden Hills Golf & Country Club...off of Monument Road.

Anyone here have 18's with an Eibach pro-kit? I'm about to get this setup and was wondering if they cause problems. Do they rub up on the fender...need to get the fender rolled? I'd be getting eibach/kyb agx/18" black opal konig imagines/225/40/18
