Here is a run down of my visit. Day 1: Reached into Tampa area where my moms live at 2pm on Dec 20, washed the car from all the bugs I killed on the way down. Day 2: Dec 21, left at 7am for the 4 hr drive to FT. lauderdale. With an hour left in the drive got pulled over for speeding. Cop was ok though said I was doing 72 in a 55 zone and gave me a seat belt ticket instead. I arrived at Cybernation at 12. Pulled up and was mobbed by fellow Nissan owners. Everyone there was cool. Matt4Nissan car was hot. A black B14 Sentra (Dannyse99) that was done by Andreas was dynoed at (I think) about 287 with 12psi. Lance was dynoed in the 280's with either a t25 or 28. I think everyones car there was tuned by Miko. I decided to dyno since it was broken in. It dynoed at 199.6 at 7psi. Andreas said that big turbos doesnt start to make real power until 10 psi+. I think that almost everyone there was turboed. I finally got to meet Andreas. He showed up late but when I saw him I didnt believe it. I was looking for a beer drinking, pot belly Russian dude. I guess the name put this image in my head. But it was a short, light skinned Jamaican guy with glasses who kinda resembles Mario (SR20b12). I introduced myself and then he went to look over the car and I guess he liked it. Since the 2nd day of the meet was also in Ft. Lauderdale I had to find a hotel room sinc I didnt plan on driving back to Tampa. My alternator belt was loose so I needed the adjustment rod. I followed Andreas and Rob (his friend) back to South Miami to his shop where he fixed my alternator and gave me a adaptor plug for an MSD:D I still had to find a room though so Andreas said I can stay by him for the night, how cool was that. We went back to his place and I set up my couch. This guy has SR20 parts all over. But we werent in for the night as of yet. Rob and I decide to go to the evening festivties, the races for all of you that dont know:rolleyes: Rob has a B13 also that was done by you know who and still needed to be broken in. We went to the first spot called Towers where we met up with Dannyse99 who dynoed that day at 287 @12psi and we also ate before leaving. It was kinda dead so we went to meet up some other guys and then we would all go to State Rd 9. On the way to St rd. I had a run in with a Mustang, well let me put it this way, he had nothing for me:D There were about 15 Se-r all rolling in one line, it was beautiful. St. rd is just like what Foutain used to be. There were tons of cars in one parking lot. The good thing is that there was an overpass where you can see the races. Cops came as usual and everyone left. Rob and I got home about 3am. Day 3 Dec 22. Got up and went with Rob to get some West Indian breakfast. We chilled by Andreas till about 1 then I left to go to the picnic. The picnic was cool but the guys didnt stay there too long so I left to drive back to Tampa about 4pm. About 2hrs into the drive I roll up on a new M3. Both of us know whats up. He steps on it, I step on it but his eforts were in vain. I start to put such a distance on this guy that I had to wait for him at least 3 times. Remember that this is only 199 to the wheels at 7psi and hasnt even been tuned yet. Even worse I think he had his girl in the car :D I give it up to all the guys down there that made my stay a pleasure especially Andreas and Rob. At the meet I felt I actually belong in Fl. Everyone was so cool Matt, SErican and all the others that I can only remember you by your cars. Thanks alot guys. Oh yeah cant forget Dannyse99, Smooth daddy and Trey.

I saw pics I wish I was there. Dexter should have came to westchester and picked a brother up..damn..I like your car a lot, very nice. I just joined the SE-R family on the 18th with the purchase of a Black 91. I may have to call Dexter for some advice on how to make my car hot, then call Timothy about how to make it fast.
