UCF/Orlando Area People!
Hey, I just moved to the UCF area for school and want to know what the deal is around this area. I mainly would like to know what are the best shops around here. Also I would like to know about what everyone does on the weekends as far as meetings and such. BTW my name is Bryan and I drive a 93' Silver RX-7 with red interior and as of now its just about stock and working on reliability mods. So if your in the area speak up and let me know whats up. Thanks!

Hi spec(sorry don't know your real name)
My name is Jon and I am the Spacecoast VP of MRCCFL and I am also a UCF student/Orlando resident.
1st order of business, you have to get your car repainted a different color, no one else is allowed to have a SSM 3rd gen in this area.(j/k)
Really though, nice to have you in the area. If you need any help what so ever feel free to shoot me a line. I do 99% of the work on my own car and usually can give you some good advice/help on any problems you may have. I have had my FD for almost 3 years now, so I know her pretty well.
Uhg, as far as "cool" get togethers in Orlando, not many exist. There is a thing in Daytona every Thursday that sometimes gets pretty cool, but it is a big long drive for nothing if cops decide to break up the fun. Sonics is a waste of time, vrooom vrooooooom. That's about that. I think it is on Saturdays that some real performance people get together at a certain Applebees on Colonial.
Anybody in the Orlando area interested in getting together some weekend can email me at m_w_fitz@hotmail.com

fitzrx7: Haha its ok Jon, im the one with the red interior
. I have seen another SSM driving along the streets, and another parked in the parking garage at the UCF gym maybe one of these is you?
Thats too bad about nothing really going on. Im ready to start a meet somewhere? Let me know if you guys wanna start something up. But is there any good shops around this area? Im still debated whether I wanna do my DP myself?
Thanks

I've been living in Winter Park for 6 months and have been trying to get a 7 get together for sometime now. We all need to meet up one night, maybe at the track and then ride out from there.

Ok, I just got back from a "decent" performance get together at the TGIFridays on Colonial across from Best Buy. If you all want to meet up there next Saturday that would be cool, although I can't make it. There was a 2nd gen, and two 3rd gens including mine. Plus some pretty cool Nissan silvia wannabes. Check it out. I have an practice for Universal's Halloween Horror Nights and I won't be there, but maybe we can arrange a drag strip night or something. Who's game?

Yes, that is my, I take the "test track at Science Drive" every day to school, except Friday. And yes, I have noticed that nice 2nd gen with the white konigs.
Who's up for a Wed night at the drag strip?? I won't make it until about 8pm, cause I have a class, but that sounds cool to me, otherwise maybe Friday at Speedworld? Ideas?

hmm, A real dragstrip, no, there is only Speedworld here in CFL
as for "unofficial" ummm, there is the Fitz 1/4 mile strip....hehehe, right along the lines of "test track at Science Drive", but its location is undisclosed at the current time. What about Friday then??? It's $10 I think, we should try to get there as close to 6pm as possible.
Role Call!
I'm going
