Re: Florida thirdgens

So far, so good here

I feel lucky to still have a roof and no indoor swimming pool.

This place got hammered

Same here, I never did lose power. Just lost internet, so I got a free couple days off.

Tampa meet this month is on the 22nd at:

Brick House Tavern and Tap
1102 N Dale Mabry Hwy, Tampa, FL 33607.

Meet time is 11am but if you want to get good parking spot where you can keep your vehicle in sight while sitting at the patio, get there by 10:30am. Should be a good time.

If you're ever out in Tampa check out Cathedral Cigars, I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

Re: Florida thirdgens

Man, I'd love to. I went to crank the SS over the other day and dead battery. Need to get my tender on it but the post connections suck and the side mount connections are not correct in the tender kit. That and my mom came to visit so probably should spend some time with her.

Re: Florida thirdgens

Thinking of having the next monthly meet at the Plant City Car Show. It's the 3rd Saturday of the month starting at 1pm. Nice thing is they decorate the downtown area where the car show it held. Good for night time pictures.

might not get many views here. I've not had a carb car in a very very long time. but if you can fine a return style fuel pump/regulator. if I remember right it's the fuel just sitting in the line heating up that causes it to boil.

the other way is to insulated the fuel line from heat sources. anywhere it runs by something hot, or just the whole thing. DEI has a wrap these days that pretty each to use.

You should come out to the Lakeland Cars and Coffee, it's every first Saturday of the month at the airport.
I was there last month. Might take the SS next time.




Last Saturday I tried the Wesley Chapel one. Not a bad show but not worth it to me to drive that far.

Re: Florida thirdgens

Hello all! As I’m new to FL is there any meet ups? I’m located in the Destin area. By chance is there a WhatsApp group? If not I’d be interested in creating one? If you are interested feel free to call/text/email me.

just got my steering refreshed today.

Re: Florida thirdgens

Hey fellow Floridians,

Anyone know of a Hi-perf shop that is familiar with 3rd Gens and very capable to convert an IROC from an auto to a TKX manual? I'm thinking about purchasing the kit from Hawks and rather than take the car up to their shop would prefer someone more local - I live in the Tampa area.

Friend of mine has been taking his car to 360 Customs in Brandon. He seems to like their work. His car has a supercharged LS3 with the Magnum F transmission.

Destin here. Slowly accumulating a collection of 3rd gens. My wife has started referring to my back yard as "The Bird Sanctuary"
