Florida Peoples
 

I have noticed that there is quite a following here in Florida. Has there ever been any talk of a get together? I have been collecting parts, but have not started the process. I have yet to see a Miata LS conversion in person. Any ideas? David

I'm in Plant City and there are several others around. There is a local club that meets regularly tampabaymiatas.net but nothing V8 specific.

I'm in florida, Indian river county to be exact. Sadly my car isn't done yet, but I'd be game for a meet up. Give me some inspiration and motivation.

I live in Dade City. Do you ever do the Plant City car shows?

If I'm not working and it isn't raining I'll usually go out there.

What department do you work for?

I am in Seminole near ST.Pete,still taking the car apart ( its been hot)and ordering lots of parts.

The Villages.

Hillsborough here

I have a buddy down there. Ready to retire. Goes by Gator.

I'm sorry...lol. I know him very well, same station for 15 years

I have a 95 Miata that actually runs and drives. I bought a 8.8 diff , a t56 from another hcfr guy and LS oil pan. I'm looking to do the v8r kit. I see a Tampa address. Can we buy directly from there?

It's in Thonotosassa fl actually. and I've never actually been there but all my parts have shipped from there and They shipped my subframe kit for free since I'm in florida. You need to call in though, the online system doesn't recognize the location.

Got it Thanks!

They do not have a store front but I'm sure you could call them and arrange pick up or delivery.

hi i am in orlando ... collecting parts still .....

i am surprised that whoever needed a subframe didnt buy it from this guy

Price and shipping costs deterred me

Im Orlando peoples and would be down for a meet up.

The Mutt should be on the road this weekend.

I love the community of guys here getting together! Go team Florida!

Lets get something organized?

Sure, maybe October/Nov? Seems like somewhere around Lakeland would be a good meeting point.

There's the Hooters right there at I-4 where the All Florida meet used to be held. Let me know, I'm in and can get some others to come as well.

I'm in!

How about November? FL2K is in Oct.

Cool

In a couple of weeks I'll look into setting this up. I can probably get a vendor or 2 to atleast bring cars out.
What's everyone's opinion, day or evening and a Friday, Saturday, or Sunday?

Unless someone else wants to take the lead....

Cool. It seems like it wants to try to cool off some. It makes no difference to me as far as what day. I'd like to see the cars in the daylight if possible.

I'd say saturday or Sunday morning would be the best possibility for the best attendance. I'm indifferent and will be there no matter what as long as its not m-f 8-5

hey unk577 what shift are you on? Im working on 9/12 today

B shift which would be the day before you

Sat/Sun works best for me. I just hope Im not out of town working.

Then an "A" shift would work best?

Sarasota has three that I know of. Two of them were on the street as of last month. I currently have my LS-1 out doing a few upgrades but plan to be back out in late Oct and up for some road trips.

Bump..

Yeah that is what was thinking too!. Next Sunday would work for me. The weather is supposed to be good.

Just saw this thread.

I'm in Fort Myers, still a ways off from completing the build. I'm hoping for spring of next year.

Oh I'm sure a few of us aren't complete. Mine is nowhere near so I would just be coming to look at others and meetup.

Same here

There was a bunch of interest in this some time back. Now I hear crickets....

Im still down, unfortunately my work season is ramping up. I'll def make it if Im in town.

Local Miata club is doing a meet this coming Tuesday(11/17/15)at 6:30 at the Lakeland Hooters on I-4. While I'm there I'll talk to them about setting up a meet.

If anyone wants to come out on Tuesday they are more than welcome

I'd go but I'm on shift.

I woulda gone but Im in Miami this week. Maybe a V8M meet in Dec?

I'll see what I can do

I'm working tuesday evening at my second job. But I'm down for anything as long as I've got a week or so notice.

There may be something bigger in the works. I post back here as soon as I have confirmation

Nice, Im back in town on 12/3. Looking forward to getting this done. Thanks for makin it happen Unk!

Still in the works, trying to get all the stars aligned to make it happen.

I haven't forgotten

Ok folks here it is. October 22 at 3pm. The Hooters at I-4 and 98 in Lakeland. The idea is to be able to meet and talk about things and be able to eat. There are many of us in different phases of construction that will benefit from each others experiences. It looks like some may be coming from 2.5 hours away. Hopefully somebody will bring a finished car!
