calling all FL swapped owners

Post by **CA18 RS13** » Sat Apr 12, 2003 9:13 pm

I am moving down to FL, Orlando specifically, on the 26th and need to register my car down there. I understand that FL has no emissions testing but I'm sure there is a visual safety test or the like to pass. If anyone has any info for me please PM me, I would really appreciate it. After I move down I hope to meet up with some of you local CA owners also. Peace

visual? LOL

Dont worry about it. My cars got registered with out them taking a look at it. I could of had 2 RB's swapped in and all the illegal parts i could think of and no one would know.

Please let me know when you get down here. Only CA ive seen down here was Pauls old car. Ive been in many SR cars but never a CA. Plus i plan to swap a CA soon but I really want to be sure its worth it.

I will be good to see another CA guy down here to help me with my swap

excellent, would you mind telling me the loacation of the shop you got your car registered at? My car has some... things missing... that make it a bit less then legal perhaps.

Post by **Nismo1182** » Sat Apr 12, 2003 9:13 pm

shop? I just go to the local tag place. Theres one like 5 minutes from me or the DMV which is like 10 minutes from me. The tag place is your best bet since you would be getting the plate for Florida, the DMV would be to have a FL drivers license made.

heh heh heh.... eventually. I don't have much free time as it is right now but I should be giving the site a major overhaul by summer.

Post by **CA18 RS13** » Sat Apr 12, 2003 9:13 pm

so let me get this straight... I just show up at the tag place, tell them I want to register my car, they don't even look at it and just give me my tags? You all don't have safety inspections or anything to pass prior to that?

Post by **slw240sx** » Sat Apr 12, 2003 9:13 pm

nah... they dont really give a sh*t you could prob take a skyline to the ones here and theyd just give you plates and sent you on the way... or they just make you turn on the lights wipers honk the horn and hazards turn signals that basic saftey stuff make sure you have belts and what not

Post by **NeedCAforS13** » Sat Apr 12, 2003 9:13 pm

yep, just drive up and register..they don't even look at the car! Florida RULES!

Hey when are you coming down here? The 26th of this month?!?! Do you think you could let me check out your car...it would make my swap much easier if i had a ca swapped car sitting there to compare to! I'll be starting the swap as soon as school gets out for summer (2 weeks!)...

instant message me if you get the chance...SOlsenA6

Let ME put it this way... I have an CA in an s14 with a top mount t3/t4, FMIC, and no timing belt cover.

I've had the CA for about 3 years in FL and no problem. :pface There is also numerous SR swaps in various models around Orlando, and even the RB25 in an s14 running around town.

Post by **boosteds13** » Sat Apr 12, 2003 9:13 pm

Geez, there is nobody over here in Daytona. 2 of my friends have '98s with SRs in them, but nobody to help me with my CA. Also, they didn't do the work themselves. One had Enjuku do the work a month ago or so, and the other had the Nissan dealership do it (his parents own the dealership).

Post by **NeedCAforS13** » Sat Apr 12, 2003 9:13 pm

WOW! whos got an rb around town...i wanna see that! Why doesn't he come down to colonial some time!

Sean

Post by **NeedCAforS13** » Sat Apr 12, 2003 9:13 pm

hey boosteds13...you wanna bring that ca over here one weekend and let me check it out?

Sean

Post by **boosteds13** » Sat Apr 12, 2003 9:13 pm

Well, I don't have it yet, this project is happening in the fall. Just gotta wait for those student loans and grants to come in in August

I planned on doing it this spring, but the DSM needed some work. I never post on here but I always read. I have hung out with Paul a couple times and got to drive his S13 when he had it. He sold me on the CA even though he's turned into a sellout :pface I can't wait to get it going though. I told my friend with the SR powered '98 that I am going to rip him a new one with the CA. I have to carry out my threat.

Post by **NeedCAforS13** » Sat Apr 12, 2003 9:13 pm

your dsm needs work?!? NOOO WAYYYY! hehe.. yeah Paul's a nice guy..he's helping me with my swap and came over and checked out my engine yesterday! If you wanna come over and help, any help would be appreciated

I'm starting as sonn as school gets out, so 2 weeks or so...

Sean

Post by **boosteds13** » Sat Apr 12, 2003 9:13 pm

Ya, that would be cool. I'd like to see exactly what I'll be getting involved in. I am sure I can get my friend to come too who has an S14 with some nice mods. Here's a quick rundown of his car:

'98 240S13 redtopSome garret ballistic dual ball bearing turbo with a T04B housingJIC top mount ceramic coated manifoldApex Power FC5Zigen catbackGReddy FMICHKS SSQVGReddy radiatorGReddy intake manifoldSAFC and AVCRB&M short shifterPhilips HID kit300ZX rear diffnaVan rear spoilerTein Ha coiloversvarious carbon fiber pieces under the hoodprobably some other crap that I can't remember

But anyway, he's pretty good with that stuff too even though he has an SR.

Post by **NeedCAforS13** » Sat Apr 12, 2003 9:13 pm

god i feel so lame putting my engine in essentially stock! how the hell do you afford a "garret ballistic dual ball bearing turbo with a T04B housing" jesus

i wish i had some of that kinda money to play with! and tein ha's are pretty damn expensive too!

but anyway, yeah feel free to come check it out whenever! I'll keep ya'll posted of whats goin on and you can come over and see it...

yep, 26th of this month. I see you go to UCF, I will actually be going to Full Sail and will be living on University Blvd in an unofficial dorm that is shared with a lot of UCF students. like i said i would love to meet up with some local 240 guys when i get down there, regardless of how modified your car is.

Post by **NeedCAforS13** » Sat Apr 12, 2003 9:13 pm

oh yeah..full sail is right near where my parents house is...i actually live out closer to UCF, but you're less than 10 min away!

you'll see when you get here, there's a pretty big group of 240 guys with some nice cars! quite afew sr's but as of right now..no running ca's (that i know of)

I'm working on mine, and another ucf guy's in the process of putting his in too...we all meet every satuday night at a parking lot down on colonial dr...

anyway, let me know when you get in town, and we'll meet up somewhere and check out your car

Sean

Post by **NeedCAforS13** » Sat Apr 12, 2003 9:13 pm

oh, i forgot to ask..where is this unofficial dorm on university blvd you're living at?

Sean

Post by **Siddhartha** » Sat Apr 12, 2003 9:13 pm

w00t! Another 240!!! Hit me up on AIM: XBrAnDiShXWe'll go to colonial. The UCF swarm of 240s, lol.

Post by **NeedCAforS13** » Sat Apr 12, 2003 9:13 pm

but Sidd, you don't even have a 240 yet!

Sean

Post by **Siddhartha** » Sat Apr 12, 2003 9:13 pm

::sniffle:: A guy can dream, can't he???

I'll have one before summer is out

Post by **xatracing** » Sat Apr 12, 2003 9:13 pm

Just to reiterate the ease of registering your car in FL. they will only look at safety items. I have sold a number of 240's with the Sr swap and haven't even gotten so much as a second look. Just bring the DMV your title and thats it. Good luck.

Post by **Siddhartha** » Sat Apr 12, 2003 9:13 pm

Do you sell stock 240s, maybe with blown KA?

Post by **Nathan** » Sat Apr 12, 2003 9:13 pm

That's what I just bought! a 240 with a blown engine...thats why I get to do a CA swap...yay for me!

Post by **Movingviolation240** » Sat Apr 12, 2003 9:13 pm

why did you decide to go to Full Male? I think my brother is the only person I have ever known who graduated there and actually got a job (and that's because he was plugged into a job before he went there)

But anyhow, welcome to Orlando and I will promise you we will show you a good time

Paul

Post by **Drakon** » Sat Apr 12, 2003 9:13 pm

I think the only ppl who would even think of inspecting ur car would be insurance people...the tag place just charges you a billion dollars and sends u on your way.

What are you studying at full sail? I'm a computer animation major at SAU up in Tennessee. But i'm taking this semester off to work and take a break off school. btw, where can i find u guys tonight? i wana talk to some ca people and sr people can make up my mind on what to swap this summer.

Post by **NeedCAforS13** » Sat Apr 12, 2003 9:13 pm

we meet at colonial (hw 50) near (well, kinda across from) the fashion square mall...in the Bennegans parking lot,its easy to find...around 11ish...hope to see you there man!

no ca's (yet) but there should be an sr or two...
