OK - never been to one. Granted it's at USF and probably not many adults with kids there, but my 12 yr. old is crazy about cars. Is the USF event pretty much a college-age and up hangout?

No, not really...I was actually surprised on the mixed age group. I for one am 37... and I saw some guys I went to HS with and they had their kids with them and wives. Then you do have your younger (jits) and some rice out there. But overall, a well balanced meet with a equal variety of cars ranging from Rice, vip's, SUV, muscle, drag cars, exotic... Pll came from Sarasota, Orlando and further out then that. It was also my first time going ever myself.

Like Josh said, the events are well balanced. There is a wide variety of individuals attending the USF Meet. Granted, there are a large crowd of college kids, but there are many kids who come out of all ages (entire families, too). Don't turn your head to the event because of the USF 'area'. The event is well set-up, safe (tons of cops on duty) and organized. Plus, anyone under 15 gets in free.

The USF meets usually take place biweekly. Only one other TL was there last Friday, the dude didn't even know about Acurazine.

He rolled out with a bunch of Civics, but his TL was modded up nicely. His hood, roof, and trunk were di-noc'ed in dark grey CF and he was sitting on Volk look-a-likes. Really nice dude though. Not sure if he took my word and signed up on here.

Hey guys. I have 07 TL-S. I want to lowered it more but I dont want to be too rough. I like the way It's ride now. I debating between the H&R, Tein damper, or XLR8 ISC Coilovers. Or maybe other brand? What do you guys recommended? Which coilovers have the most comfy ride? and quality? Thanks

Alright FL group - if you haven't peeked in the Black Market for a while, take a look at lilsid112's going-back-to-stock-so-I-can-trade-this-in sale. I've ridden in the car, seen the parts and everything is top notch. Peter's a guy who you feel very comfortable buying used equipment from (I've bought from him before.)

Just passing it along the to rest of the Florida peeps and to give a recommendation for a good guy.

I have a set of H-Techs I want to install and I'm looking to see if anyone is able to put them on. I have a few friends who originally said they would help, but have flaked out on me. I live in Sarasota, but I'd be willing to drive a couple hours away. I will provide food, beer, and some cash if you want.

I just installed ISC N1's and love them so far. Replaced my H&R springs stock shock setup to go coils. Best decision I made.

Several adjustments to suit your needs. Soft hard high low. Worth the coin.

Anybody from the panhandle around here?

Anyone going to the last Sunday Funday at Orlando Speedworld? It will be this coming Sunday. I'm thinking to run my camaro there for the last time. Because they're going to close by the end of this year. This is the link for it.

USF was "OK" last night. Definitely NOT like my first one I attended. Few nice cars. IMO VM's had the nices cars there with the exception of a few nice Muscles. It seem to have only 1/2 the turnout that came out last time we all met there.

IDS Winterfest ~ I could have sworn I heard it was Sold Out... At least by the info link seems to still be available. I heard this show is BIG! I been hearing about this one for at least 2mo. by word of mouth.,, Wish I could go.

I was expecting a much better turn-out but it was still a pretty calm meet nevertheless (except that accident on Fletcher ) It was nice seeing everyone again. We need to plan an official AZ meet soon

True that! And when saying official... let's make it a "OFFICIAL" meet such as maybe some food and fun. Example would be getting a hut at Al Lopez Park (or anywhere like this park or spot...) bringing simple things like burger, dogs, chips and soda and maybe even ending in a cruz somewhere for some a mini photoshoot pics. Just a idea that coordinated correctly within a timely manner will allow a bigger and better turnout for all surrounding members.
