We need to get Huck and Matt (Osiris) in on this as well. And of course we can’t forget spoiler since he is also now rocking a BMW sports car.

I’m sure there’s plenty others I’m forgetting.

Been doing tons of research on shops in Tampa that specialize in Z's/G's. Fever Racing is most likely out of the question, as I've heard/read horror stories about that.

I came across Full Send Motorsports and Performance of Tampa and seeing if anyone had any experience with them. I tried looking at their website and it looks like there is another similar shop but located in GA. I checked out their FB page and it seems like they know what they are doing and mostly positive reviews, but need relevant opinions from those that have work done by them.

So this week some jerk decided he was more important than everyone else and tried to illegally go around me while exiting the gas station (the truck in front of me was carrying glass replacement windows and I knew he wasn’t going to speed out into traffic but I guess the jerk behind me couldn’t wait the extra 30 seconds). So said jerk slammed into my 370Z causing a whole lot of damage. Any recommendations on a quality body shop around Tampa area?

Hi Travis,

First of all, where in Florida are you moving to? If you're moving to Central Florida there are road courses at the Central Florida Racing Complex Also, a lot of folks around here go to Orlando Speed World to race down the 1/4 mile.

As far as clubs, i'm in XECOFL We have meets quite often; recently a group of us drove up to Daytona for the Rolex 24, was awesome. 4Motion mentioned Juno, they have a local club also. But we've all been out to the same meets before.

If you're looking for shops let me know and i can probably refer you to some.

I'm in Bradenton - be cool to get together with other Z owners - anyone interested in helping me install some HFC's or could recommend a shop to do it that can be trusted?

Good luck with the move travisjb and let me know if you need any advice on places to live - I've been here since '05 - you are gonna love it man!

Cool! PM on the way!

If you feel like waiting until I get there and settled in, would gladly throw your car on my lift and we could install the HFCs... may be a month or two though before we're in our new place! lol

Like I mentioned before, if you're in the Tampa area, check out the Z Club of FL. They're a great group and have a very active club.

Long time my friend! I am in Tallahassee now...maybe about 500 miles from your possible location. Sounds like you have a great employer and they have provided a fantastic situation for you. The Z looks awesome, and your lap times have come close to the magic 1:04! Best of luck (I don't believe in luck...insert your preference) to you!--Greg
