Hi Everyone! New to South Tampa from the Cincinnati, OH area. Not much of a racer myself, but enjoy going to the track to watch and meeting cool people and seeing the nice builds. In Cincinnati everything 5+ years old already rusting, so to see the older imports down here still rust free is awesome. Have built several cars in the past, from 240sx, to DSMs, GTP, to F150s, CX-7, RX-8 - nothing to write home about but all were sleeper cruisers. Just like having that extra bit of power.

Sold my new SuperCrew F150 Coyote N/A build to help fund the move, will be looking to replace soon with something much smaller. Had a stroke in Dec of 2017 which pretty much took me out of the manual transmission ownership world unfortunately.

 

Welcome to paradise, Florida..... lol
We have some great shows and meets around here.

If you are one of the refugees from a high tax state, FL has no tax on your income,
and no tax on the property inside your house.

We can keep lower taxes if the people coming in will stop voting for the tax and spend political party.
We had a close call with the last Governor's election......almost elected democrat socialist Andrew Gillum, who constantly
talked about raising taxes.
-------------------
Anyway, keep us posted on your next ride.
maybe we will see you at the 2nd Saturday free car club breakfast.

Thanks for the welcome! We are down to one car until I decide what to replace the truck with.

Most recent build was hard to let go, but while we sell our homes in Cincinnati we are renting and long tube catless v8 cold start wasn't a good way to meet the new neighbors, lol. But here is that build, for intake, exhaust and tune it did quite well and extremely consistent pulls. Sounded like cat-back only at 2-3k RPM so shocked quite a few people with it. Originally planned to boost it, but made absolutely no sense given how heavy it was to begin with

Thinking of finding an older honda w/automatic. I might be ok with a manual, just haven't driven one since having a stroke. Not sure how crazy I want to go with it. Essentially fully built sohc and trans. stock wheels, sticky tires, gutted, quiet or stock exhaust. Just something fun to play around with.


Will have to check out the meet up. Currently relocating from St. Pete to Tampa this weekend due to shit landlord who scammed us out of nearly 10 grand in a month.

 

Sorry to hear about the 10K scam.
Pit road is a place people can complain or explain about controversial issues.

Some people might like to know the details so they can avoid the scammer and the business.
