Default New Old Poster

Hey everyone, I'm a returning poster with an account so old I don't remember anything about it. I wanted to reintroduce myself to the forum (or what's left of it).


My name is Kevin. I have a 2008 Mitsubishi Eclipse GT with a 6 speed. It's not the most enthusiastic of enthusiast cars, but I own it, and it's got less than 50,000 miles. I've done some things to it already; nothing to radical, and I hope to do more until I have to sell the car out of necessity.


I've always loved cars, and I'm hoping to find a couple of things here: enthusiasts who haven't given up the dream of FWD performance, and respectable vendors I can use to help with work I can't handle and bring my vision to reality.

Thanks for stopping by.
It was a few years ago.....

At the close of a Fast and Furious as Dom and Brian drive away, the song goes:
"It's been a lomg time without you my friend
and I'll tell you all about it when I see you again."

We cannot go back there because "there" isn't there anymore....maybe.
The people are the same, though.
Simply Clean had 2500 cars again.
Afterwards we were doing burnouts at Donnies
and 6 cop cars and the helicopter showed up.

To me it looked the same as Belaire Plaza during the Turkey Run
when the retirees were doing burnouts in their favorite car (55 Chevy's and hot rods) from high school.
With one difference: live long enough and the cops don't bother you anymore.

Formed years ago, Tampa Racing.com was founded on the principles of encouraging restoration, repair or modification of special interest vehicles. Over 102,000 members strong, Tampa Racing has no national affiliation, but you will likely find its members among any number of automotive organizations including the National Street Rod Association, Mustang Club of America, Goodguys, Florida Mopar Association, Corvette Club of America, to name a few. The type of vehicles found amongst the members varies from restored early 1900's vintage automobiles, to street rods from the 30’s and 40’s, to muscle cars from the 60’s and 70’s, to present day front-wheel-drive imports and motorcycles. With the wide range of vehicles come varying degrees of modifications from bone stock to big block Pro Street monsters. There truly is something to satisfy every automotive taste.

As with the vehicles there are varying activities that the members undertake ranging from weekly cruise nights and car meets, to cruises through the countryside, cookout get-togethers, Christmas parties, open track days, organized races, beach concerts and frequent car shows. The shows are perhaps the most popular venue for many of the members who engage in showing their cars at almost every opportunity. Tampa Racing also co-sponsors and/or supports select charity car shows, community events. This is a way of giving back to the local communities.

On Tampa Racing you will always be a member of the family whether at a cruise night, car meet or on the highway. And remember life is good friends, a clean ride, and the open road in front of you.

Don't have many pictures yet; the ones I do have don't really represent my car as it looks now. But I'm going to try to make the breakfast this weekend. Unfortunately it falls on the same day as my work holiday party (TBH, I've been lurking for about two months and meant to make the November one but I had to fly out for work that weekend). Definitely need to get more exposure though.

If you stop by probably you won't recognize anyone.... lol

We are all different people now but no one criticizes anyone any more.

I didn't know anybody the first time; I never went to meet-and-greets. I used to have a Lancer when I was here before that had an automatic, and being a poor college student, lacked any appropriate resources to do anything major.

I still don't have a garage, but I've had some good luck finding affordable upgrade bolt-ons for my car. I just want to find reputable shop willing to tackle the jobs. Preferably one that can do on-site fabrication for some of my bigger aspirations.

Ok, couldn't make the last one; I created an electrical issue trying to install a backup camera that took me all morning to solve.

But I'm not here empty-handed, here's my whip. Her name is Jen, like Jennifer Walters, AKA She-Hulk
