Don't drive your R around there and leave it unattended.

If you need any quality shops, look up LHT Performance. Go see John. He does tuning and all other work, and owns a PY ITR as well, very good person.

Other than that, keep the car in the garage and don't leave it somewhere. FL is notorious for Honda theft. I used to live there. Ugh...

John is a Hondata WIZ!!! He tuned my track car and honestly took a LOT more time than I would have ever guessed a tuner would. He fabricates and all sorts of things. Definitely look him up.

Be very careful down there in FL. Not a great place to own one of these cars for sure.

If you already have a P28, your halfway there. Just get yourself an S100 (he sells them) and go from there. He can socket it as well.

Street tunes there aren't very expensive IIRC, but if you want Dyno tuning it's obviously more.
