Hi all, I'm new to the Tampa Bay area and am having clutch trouble with my fd. Are there any shops/individuals around here that users are familiar with/supportive of? I could not find any thread activity regarding the area (other than events) over the last few years, so I hope this serves more than just myself. I'm willing to travel outside of Tampa Bay area for a rotary-specialized shop, but in town I'd just like to find someone trustworthy/reasonable.

If there is an active user/group in the area that is willing to be a resource for knowledge, I would really appreciate an opportunity to connect. I'm on the early side of learning about my car/mechanics in general and I find that discussion with others who share the hobby is incredibly helpful.

Any insight into the area would be appreciated, even if it is not relevant to the above. Thanks

 

I can get you in contact with someone my buddy deals with in Tampa , I know a couple guys in Bradenton area

 

Full detail Automotive is in Tampa and specializes in the FD and other 90s Japanese cars. Whatever you need, they can take care of.

 

I Messaged you.

 

Wow, can't believe I haven't heard of these guys. Seeing great reviews online as well. Thank you

 

Chino, sending you a PM. Thanks

 

Take the short trip and see Jesus Padilla at Kilo Racing. He is a rotary legend. You will never know when you meet him because he is so humble and honest. He is lo ated in Saint Cloud, Fl

 

Long overdue on a follow up post here.. Thank you to everyone for the suggestions. I ended up taking the car to Full Detail Automative off Anderson Rd in Tampa and haven't looked back since. They got the car running better than I've ever seen and the customer service is unmatched. Doesn't hurt that every time I visit the shop there's a new FD to check out.

Thanks
