CARS finally got my APR bumper painted, but I'm just gonna sell it now because they actually fixed my original Gialla bumper and it looks great again. Thanks Ernie.
Now my car is down at Stage 6 getting some things fixed in my engine bay. IE: head gasket spewing coolant everywhere, rocker arm off it's rocker, ARP headstuds were torqued over 90 ft/lbs., cross threaded bolts in my exhaust manifold.
Stage 6 seems to be very professional so far and they have great communication skills. I have full confidence that this will be the end of my problems. Also doing a clutch and coilover install.
Cars and Coffee is a great event. I went to the one in Orlando a couple weeks back. Got to see a new GTR, actually 2 black ones. Fun times

Hopefully Dwight and the boys can help resolve your issues. Given Ron does all my work up here and John is my tuner, I still give lots of props to the Orlando 4G63 specialists. Not sure what happened in your situation, but central Florida has always been the "haven of the 4G63's" spanning as far back as the mid-90's. Sucks it put a bad taste in your mouth, but like I said, hopefully Stage 6 takes care of you. They're a bunch of good guys there and have been around the block for a long *** time.
As for the Cars and Coffee, I didn't know they had one in Orlando? I have only known of the one in Irvine, CA, Omaha, NE, here and the one in the Netherlands? Regardless, I'll be posting pictures of the Meet here soon for all the ones who couldn't get up early enough on a Saturday.

It's actually Cars and Cafe, but same idea. Went with my RX-8 peeps. I'm in pic 16 next to the Lotus Exige. I told them no pics cuz I had no nose.

Or you could see Dr. DSM(my mechanic aka tigeron). He's worked on my 4G63's since 1997 and my girlfriend's Spyder GST since last year.
That's interesting! I had never even realized what Cars and Coffee was, much less another one like it.

For those who couldn't wake up early enough and the rest of my Saturday...
So one of my dubAudi friends invited me out to a Cars and Coffee Meet. I had no clue what it was until I started to do some research and found out they had these Meets going on in Irvine, CA, Omaha, NE, Las Vegas, NV, and now in the Netherlands. It is the second one held in Jacksonville, FL, and I definitely plan on attending every Monthly Meet from here on out.
I also was committed to showing the girls at my friend's Grand Opening for their stereo shop Overdrive Audio in deep Mandarin.
Also going on across town was Velocity Trends' dyno day/BBQ .
Needless to say, my Saturday was booked, juggling both girls to the Meet/Show/Dyno Day, since Lindsey had to work all day. Not to mention I had to make an appearance at a charitable event at noontime which is why I didn't have much pictures of the Grand Opening. Hope you guys like the pictures! I tried not to get in the reflections, but it was so damn hot, I could barely see the images on my camera from my polarized sunglasses. Phew!
