Hey guys i just joined the club and i wanted to know if anyone knew a good tuner shop in miami. Im thinking of purchasing an intake and doing the install myself but the exhaust would be my next purchase and i need to know if in miami i can find a shop to work on my 8. Thanks for your time.

 

Ive done installations for other memebers in Miami before, intake, exhaust and drivetrain components (flywheel, clutch).

I do all my own work on my RX8, and other members have trusted me enough to work on their cars, so if youre interested I could o the installation for probably half of whatever a tuner shop would charge you.

Let me know if youre interested and Ill make myself availible.

If you would like other members to vouch for me I can send you a list of people whos cars Ive worked on.

 

What Color 8 you got? All my friends live in Hialeah so i'm there a lot.. if ya see a Stock White 8 riding around give a wave!

 

Isn't it cold guys? I'm freezing.. Welcome btw.. As for shops around here, I know I've seen threads in this section about that.. Too lazy to search myself.

 

I have a Ti-Gray..i live off lejune and 54st by the chevron..right now it's stock..all i have is the factory 18"s..and as for it being cold it's freezing..i havent been this cold since i lived in new york...and it sucks how long the car takes 2 warm up..and the gas it wastes..lol..

 

lol it is freezing lol, on a positive note i noticed the car is performing very nice when fully warmed..

welcome btw, im in broward with a black rx8 smoked tails, and now dropped.

 

Man that's crazy..whe it was fully warmed up i thought it was just in my head that i was performing better...but oh well...so far what i like is from driving it around i have not seen that many down here in hialeah...i keep seeing a silver on stock..with a marrone sticker on it..dont know who that maybe..

 

^ The car sounds better when it gets cold here for some reason.. But I'll see that tomorrow, have to wake up at 7am for school registration (yeh, I waited awhile)..

As for that silver 8 stock with the sticker, I've seen it as well.. But no one never sees me..

not to hi jack, but i called TAV in miami asking if they can do my coilover corner balancing, they do not have scales.. and if they will charge 200 bux for doing it without scales id rather try somewhere else...any ideas of another reputable shop who can do this.

 

What about dynamic turbo in miami..do they work on 8's?

 

yo nice to see peeps in miami am in cutler ridge nordic green on 19 arospeeds

 

we should plan a meet or something

 

I would guess that corner balancing is rather exclusive to race oriented shops (Speedsource, Pettit, etc.).
Another place that may possibly have it would be Miami Chassis, as they specialize on lowering cars (but for the bling factor in their case).

 

Im down 4 a meet..i know there has 2 be a lot of 8's in miami..we need 2 come up with one spot and post a bunch of threads..so everyone knows when 2 meet up..

 

Heh.. Meets.. No one ever goes to one anyway. It's dead in South FL..

 

Last time i tried to go to a meet you had to send a PM to a guy for the location... what kind of shady crap is that... After that BS I starting thinking it's best to keep my car away from people :P

 

If you guys want to attend meets, try meeting up with this group. They already have a structure established. I think they're meeting up on the 10th. Location described on their website.

I used to hang out with them when I was into the parking lots thing. Good group of people.

 

Yeah that was me you had to send a PM to, it's not that i was trying to be shady or anything, just dont want cops bothering us is all. I used to go to the SSP meetings as well, havent had time lately to visit them. if you guys want I can try to start up some meets again, but im not gonna wait outside like an idiot and no one shows up...

 

^ I'd be interested bro. I've never been to any..

 

^^^ I would def be interested also..this would be my first meet also..and since im a new owner there many mods i want 2 do 2 my car but i dont want 2 go all crazy and start throwing money out the window..i would like 2 see more of these cars up close...

 

right thats what am talking about this forum its great, but nothing like a life comunity

 

be sides its plenty of us around

 

i been to a meet setup on here, no 8's were thre, only 4 3rd gens and no one really welcomed me and ****, i jus chilled for an hour then bounced...i ended up checkin out the vw meet that was in the park...nice group of people, chilled and talked bout their cars...90% were new gen gti's... very welcoming..even threw a burger on the bbq for me lol.

ill be down for a meet if its relatively close, meaning i cant go down to sw miami...

 

Dynamic can get you the parts you need, but they no longer do installation. Gustavo at TAV is very good. You will not be disappointed. As far as intakes are concerned, save your money for something else. A K&N or Green drop in is plenty. A step above would be the Racing Beat intake & snorkel. Everything else is sub-par (at above-par prices).


...hope this helps

FYI, I own a business in Hialeah and you can regularly see my car on NW 74th/W 21st (so long as you don't blink )
