Default Moving to Navarre FL...need some help

Hello...I am moving to the Navarre area in June and am looking to get some parts installed. I have a 2000 Camaro and need a stall, tranny cooler, and shift kit installed. I dont have the time to get it done out here before I move. Does anyone know any places from Pensacola to Ft Walton Beach, or anywhere close, to get these parts installed?

Besides that, people who live in that area, how do you like it? Whats the area like and how are the people? I have family in Pensacola and its nice to visit, but how about live? I also hear Navarre is different from Pensacola in terms of things to do. I just recieved this job position and decided, why not lets just do it and see what happens.

Hey. You'll love Navarre, its much more laid back than Pensacola is. Cleaner too. As far as installing parts, I'd say check out XXX Motorsports in Pensacola. Its owned by John Weeks, who is very profecient with any LS1 car.

Also, check out gulfcoastmuscle.org. Join up and introduce yourself. Tons of people there and I'm sure plenty would be willing to help you install the parts yourself.

John Week is good guy and know his ****. His the person to go to. Theres a lot of people that will help you at if you want do yourself. I found that out myself when i came last year. As for the area, very nice beaches but hurricane season sucks and you better be prepared since your coming around that time. I'm used to the big city so i'm adjusting so the small town thing. But for me i like Pensacola better.
