Default Where to find Mechanic, Meets and Good roads?

Moved here a few years ago and still have not found some good people for:

Looking for a mechanic that does decent work and doesn't gouge. I need an engine replaced on a sc400. Exhaust made, have header and exhaust canisters. Tuned on HKS F Con V-Pro.

Looking for meets as well, want to meet some fellow CL people.

And where are some flipping twisty roads in this state? I moved here from the west coast where if you looked hard enough you could find some. EVERYTHING IS STRAIGHT HERE. Whats up with that?

I also need a PC Builder or IT pro. Any help finding any of these is appreciated 100%.

Also why is the CL so dead? There used to be tons of people on here.

Here is a pic of my cars

Glorious, I’m in Deltona. I know I’d like some meets and some social events too. I’ve got techstream if you ever need assistance. I work in Lake Mary, I’m a tech for a fleet, can’t do own work there. I do a fair amount at home, no engines though, lol.

That's cool, my GS is stock too. My SC is down right now until I can find a mechanic that can help do the engine swap.

East Orlando here. Just picked up a ‘97 RSP SC400. Stock as well but I’ve got coilovers on order and I’m having my wheels repaired that came off my old FD.

Are there any monthly or maybe like quarterly meets? Family keeps me from being able to go to meets spur of the moment, but if I can plan ahead I’d love to see everyone’s cars and hang.
