Question Help in SE Florida

I have been transferred to SE Florida (office in downtown Lauderdale) and looking for homes in Boca and Parkland areas at this point). I have a pretty heavily modified 94 3.6 Turbo, and need to find an honest shop that can handle servicing the car. Not a fan of dealers, looking for a good shop that can work on modified car's. Any help would be greatly appreciated, I don't know a single soul in SE Florida. Stephen Kaspar from ImagineAuto has done all the work on this car for the past few years.

PS: any help with getting hooked up with the local PCA chapter would also be a real help.

Bogey1,

I use and am very happy with Gulf Peformance Center in Pompano beach. They are affiliated with Ruf and are very honest and reputable.

www.fvd-usa.com

Good luck,

Sloane Russeck

Thanks. I have purchased a few parts from FVD in the last year. I did not realize they serviced cars as well.

I personally know marco at billet design 954 975 3557 and Jose at Turbowerks 954 771 1177, they are both P nuts and own cars themselves. They both do honest work at reasonable rates.

WELCOME to FLL!

A safe and beautiful town, you don't have to worry about your car [or your life] like you do in downtown Miami.

Boca and Parkland are great places- But you'll find that areas in Plantation that are waterfront [canals] have far better investment potential, but the Fort Lauderdale isles...the waterfront streets about 1/2 mile east of downtown that come off of Los Olas Blvd. are the best! You'll make $50k/year just from owning the land...but these are NOT cheap places!

Email me if you want more details, since I plan on moving to Fort Lauderdale this year and me and my girlfriend have done a lot of real estate research.

For the Porsche end of things...I've also heard that Gulf is the PLACE in the area, though Pompano isn't exactly Fort Lauderdale.

Good luck-

Normy!

A second for FVD... one of the guys there (manager or owner) has a 94' 964 Turbo. Surely they can help you out.

Awww thanks guys *Blushing*
As I said in your other post if you need anything feel free to give us a call, I am sure we could help you out!!
As Max (Sloth) said Bryan the sales manager here (Tuner is his name here on Rennlist) has a '94 965 with upgraded turbos and all the goodies running about the same power as your car, I am sure you guys would have some thing to talk about.

I will do that. I am in the area, but my car is over in Naples until we close on the house and have safe place to park it! Thanks

Welcome to Fort Lauderdale. I accepted a job offer here last August and have enjoyed it ever since. I'd kill for a ride in the passenger seat of a 930 - so if you ever have free time, I'd buy lunch for a ride. Although I'm 75% sure that's what I want to buy I have yet to even get a ride in one (the other choice would be a 993 n/a).

I'm seconds from Shelton Ferrari on Fed Hwy, on the intracoastal.
