Nick works for Ford as a mechanic but he's all the way up here in Jacksonville. Don Donelson lives in Port Charlotte, but he pretty much strictly works with V6's as far as I know. I'm not sure what his current email address is as it has changed from what I have on file, but if you have AIM his screen name is dond91sho.

Thank, I appreciate it. Jax isn't too far for a good mechanic..


Let me know what you need done to your Gen3. I have a full shop & all the tools you can imagine at my disposal. I can also get parts at employee pricing, which is usualy 10% over cost, sometimes less.

I'm new to the boards and will be taking my one owner 98' with 140K to Jax.

Can someone reply with the name of some local guys who can replace my front struts and other work?

Thanks,

When are you going to JAX? Tara and Nick (SHOGIRL1994 and NIGHT_RIDER) reside there and can give you a hand. If you time it right you will be in time for the next Florida SHO Club meet and lots of people can lend a hand.

Chris,

Thanks for the response! I'm moving to Jax on the 1st of June and the SHO will come down with the family in July.

I'm impressed with the number of SHO people in FL. I have a home in Stuart and see very few SHO's verus in here in MI there are many, **** there are 5 in my sub!

My car needs struts and a newer set of stock rims.

Thanks to all, and I look forward to meeting y'all at the next event this summer!

As a side note : the members of the Florida Show Club are the most professional on the boards all together. There is a lot of sarcasm and just outride rudeness on the main board at times. The Florida club / group is a good one for sure.

I live in downtown Jax with Tara(shogirl1994) and soon my little bro Mario(SilverKnight). I work for a Ford dealership, have access to all the tools and racks I want. What part of town are you moving to and when. Whenever you get in town and want me to do some work, lemme know. Plus you can ask any of the folks in FSHOC, there isn't much I can't do.

Night Rider, I'll definitely look you up. We'll be living in Ponte Vedra Beach for the next 12 months, then we're moving down towards Vilano Beach.

I've been driving the car with a bad IMRC valve which will be my first order of business. Good to know a Ford mechanic, I've got a 4.6 in my very near future!

Now that's funny! :laugh_ti:

No, seriously we are a good bunch of people. We just like to have fun at night when we're not working on SHOs. :cheers:

Rick, I live about 20 mins north of Stuart in Ft. Pierce/Pt. St. Lucie.

I live about 45 minutes of K-Dawg and 180 miles south of NIGHT_RIDER.

Don't forget everyone that the 20th of this month would be a great time to bring your car(s) up to Jacksonville for any repairs. Our next meet will be in Gainesville for a road course track day, so any repairs will be alittle harder to do :thumb:

That's just hilarious! All this time I thought we were biggest jackasses on the whole forum. :rofl: MUST... TRY... HARDER...!!!!

Rickshaw, looks like you won't be down here by next weekend for the meet, but we will be headed to Gainesville for the road course June 16 and 17, which is about an hour and a half southwest of Jax, so hopefully you can come hang out then. Or any time, Nick and I are about 30 minutes from PVB. My number is 904-631-4791 so feel free to call if you ever need anything. I think you'll enjoy FSHOC, we're all just one big happy family really!

WELCOME!!! :wave:

I think we maintain ourselves very well on this board, unless we have been drinking :cheers:
