Vacation Destination Must!

I was just on vacation in the south Florida area and made it a point to go visit one of the fore most tuning houses for us rotards!.....Pettit Racing in Lake Park, FL.....they had the cleanest shop i think i have ever seen, and Cam and Moon were incredibly friendly....Moon took me for a tour around the shop and showed me some real cool stuff and then Cam gave me a ride in the supercharged 8.....(which now i think im definately going to have to save for!).....i was way impressed with thier professionalism and courtesy....wanted to also give them a huge thanks for being gracious hosts to a regular guy who just walked into their shop....any way here are a few pics i took....enjoy!

Good deal man! Nice pics. I've seen shots of the FD limo before...people are crazy, haha. There is certainly a lot of nice rotary stuff strewn about. I think I'd like to drive a 13b mx5 at least once in my life.

great pics chris

i, too, had the opportunity to visit the shop and i was just totally overwhelmed with the set up....

and the staff....they are just awesome....they were very accomodating....when i shipped my car down....they took delivery...sent me photos....i called them everyday just about.....i know i must of got on their nerves but they just let me do my thing...

they provided me transportation to and from the airport...
kandi picked me up in her 7.....actually it was my first ride in a 7....her car is saweet.....

all in all, not only did i get the best FI out there...it was installed by the best group...

just my 2cts

PS...if i had to do it all over again.....my answer would be yes!!
