Hi Guys, Like the title says, I'm looking for a broker to prepare docs to have a car currently in trinidad shipped to Florida to have work done on it.
Any help is appreciated.

There is actually a TSB out for the flooding problem here in the USA. The heavy oil consumption was their initial way of dealing with the "Housing wash" caused by the excessive gas from the flooding. If you go to www.rx8club.com, you'll get all the info there.

The hard starting and oil burning are actually known problems with the early RX8s. They did a recall here to fix some of the problems. The cause for the stall/hard start is because there is a "Flooding" problem, especially when cold. Mazda does some recalibration and something else to fix.

There is a company in Orlando that brought them in and registered them. They brought in R32 - R34s . Don't know if they are still doing it. At one point there were a few R32s in a used car lot here

There are actually quite a few in Florida

What he said, lol,. Actually , you also have to get an import license as well. It wasn't that bad, only thing was that I applied for the license AFTER the car left the USA, needed a Bill of Lading if I remember correctly. There is no real proof that I needed that I was a returning resident, just had...

Yes, it's licensed in Trinidad now. As far as the diff in price, I couldn't tell you, what I can tell you is that the total fees to clear and license was around $12,000.00 TTD

RX7FAN01

Yes, you can take it back as a returning resident as long as you have owned it for over 6 months. The longer you own it, the less it would cost in duties. I took a 1992 RX7 to trinidad that I had owned for 8 months, I just brought it in from Japan to the USA, and waited 7 months then sent it down wi...

That Green RX7 does not have a small block, that's a roti in there

I actually own a 3rd gen in trini and was thinking of having Gabby come down to do the tune since it is using methanol injection as well.

RX7FAN01

You guys ever dealt with Gabby from PR? Heard he's pretty good as well.

RX7FAN01

Wow, the man that was a key member of Shumacher's team thru is 7 titles for bennetton and Ferrari considered obsolete? interesting

RX7FAN01

Looks good, I'll have to be there on Sunday

RX7FAN01

Did a little bit of work since that show, like install a methanol injection system, and a V-mount intercooler setup

RX7FAN01

Yeah man, had to represent Trini

RX7FAN01

Here is a link to when I had it here in Orlando at Hot Import Nights.

thanks man, got ah 600hp 3rd Gen park up in Trini right now, I'm a roti man from long time

. I brought it down thinking that we still had a track.

Sad to see a good car reduced to housing a heavy iron block engine

Interesting that road fatalities has increased by over 10% this year.

RX7FAN01

That would be perfect

Just got my 3rd Gen off the port and looking to see if there is anything happening this weekend.

RX7FAN01

Crapital ehh:-) OK, Well, it looks like that's the one I'll try for now.

RX7FAN01

Anyone know which insurance Co. will insure a 3rd Gen RX7? Tried a couple and they say thay don't insure Sports Cars

RX7FAN01

Rotaries have gotten a bad rap . If you look at any 1.3 litre engine putting out high HP, they will not last forever. I have a 13B putting out 600whp, and it is as reliable as any 4 or 6 putting out the same HP. the biggest problem is tuning and proper setup as someone said earlier , and it is more ...
