Default Orlando, near UCF?
Anyone here live near UCF in Orlando or Oveido? Just wonder if there are any good meets, get togethers n stuff. I'm just now gettin into the world of Camaros, so I'm clueless when it comes to these things.

sorry to hear that i'm broke too, but i'll manage to scrape 20-25 bucks to race a lil and have fun, oh don't worry about driving the manual lots of people there aren't the best of drivers, its not a bad place to learn, you don't have to worry about flasing lights in your mirror either. I'm down for June too, hopefully i'll have a better stall and perhaps a mail order tune to help.

I think I'll do that...have to figure out how to install myself, Im not really the most knowledgeable when workin on cars.

And I have alot of trouble gettin into first gear, I know it takes work but Im afraid Im gonna get rearended before i get the hang of it...almost did today on the way home from work. I was at a 4 way stop and I stalled, the jackass behind me wasnt payin attention and was gonna roll thru the intersection on my tail...he stoped about 6in off my ***

I might take ya up on that...The most common method of replacement I've heard so far involved drillin 3 holes in the inner door panel to reach the rivets...but if they are talkin the panel that everyone sees then forget that. I also saw a way without drilling holes, but I havent heard anything else about it.

No it's not the panel you see, you have to take the outer door panel off first, then you see the part you need to drill don't worry no one will see it. thats the way I did mine and I have it set up were it doesn't take but a fraction of the time now.

Thanks, I think the wheels really make it look kickass! Hope I can save enough to replace the tires when the time comes, otherwise the stock wheels will have to be tossed on for a bit.

Anyone know any good jobs where you can get decent pay and lots of hours?
