these days, honda/acura tuning is done in people's backyards (or garage) just as much as it is in a shop/bay. I'll bend the TR rules and give some good words about a friend's shop.....

One shop that hasn't been mentioned is CFM Motorsports. Good guys, know their shit and always work until the job is done and car is running 100%. One of the owners is a friend of mine since middle school (or earlier?), Merrit Foster. Call him @ 813-426-6193 to get some more info. Their website is coming soon and will have things on there offering things no other places in FL offer to their customers online.

Automotive Engineering. I just picked up some assembly lube about an hour or two ago. Ghuey is very cool. They stock allot of parts as well. I have spent a couple dollars with them

Also, if Automotive Engineering doesnt have a part your looking for chances are `92CXhatch can get it (his company sells parts as well).

lol

We'll there was a slight exaggeration there about the website. I meant as in what the customer can do from home on the website. When I was planning it out, I realized that no other shops around really offer anything the customer from home except buying parts from them online or a phone number to call. I'm not saying the guys at CFM have jedi honda powers, offer free parts and shit.
