More posts needed....

Again its been awhile since there have been any posts on here.  I see blogger has since done some good upgrades and makes it so we can now track our progress and hopefully make this blogspot more enjoyable.

As for site work, noicsgarage.com has made a few changes on our online store with more updates to come very soon.

Also want to give a little shoutout to a forum we are fond of tunemytoyota.com you can find us as a vendor on there and the forum is on a rise for toyota, scion , lexus enthusiasts who do not bash but actually help members among with keeping the style of "tuner enthusiasts" alive.


I guess its time to go through some old car pics and gets this blog back on track!

In the meantime you should check us out on twitter @noicsgarage as well......

Nov/Dec Ride of the Month

The Mazda RX-7, loved/wanted by many, but owned by few. Known for its sporty styling, rear wheel drive layout it is one of the vehicles Mazda will always be known for. How about the Toyota 'JZ' motor, most known for its Hp capabilities, and its characteristic of being just about "bulletproof." Now why not take both and combine them, making a 1JZ powered RX-7, which this combination makes it as our first ever ride of the month.

We met up with owner Alain Otero at the recent Mazda meet to check out his 1989 Icy Red Pearl FC RX-7 and here is a quick low down:

10.10.10 SoFla Bimmer Meet

When Pauly D mentions "the shirt before the shirt," people may laugh and think its a retarded phrase. On the contrary when you basically have "a meet BEFORE the meet," you know you are about to attend another great Florida Bimmer event.

With over 180 BMW vehicles attending, and a lonely GT3RS, the parking lot was full and then some. It was an amazing turnout and meet to say the least between catered food, mobile dyno runs, and raffle prizes including full sets of wheels. The guys at Florida Bimmer aim to bring the BMW game back to the southeast and looks like they are definitely on the right track.


Here are a few pics, the full album should be on our site noicsgarage.com/gallery very soon!

BMW SoFlo Meet

Damn, we haven't been to a big car meet in awhile. So when e90post.com and soflobmw.com started posting about a BMW meet up in our area, we thought it would be a good idea to go and check out our first BMW meet.
Time was set for 11-4pm at Matheson Hammock Park, interestingly enough when we show up at 11am there are cars already parked and getting cleaned. Luckily the big time modded Bimmers hadn't shown up yet so our stock e90 didn't look too out of place....yet. As some time passes the waves of caravans roll in and get situated. The SLRs are beeping and snapping, as friends reunite and check out everyones rides. More and more cars keep showing up and the parking lot of the park keeps getting more and more lively.
Needless to say it was a great turnout, one of the biggest turnouts we have seen for just a car meet in awhile now. Best part about it....not one burnout....no excessive revving (you could heard the occasional BOV).....nobody talking trash or starting fights. Basically what a car meet is all about, hanging out with friends, meeting new people, checking out the personal rides and having an overall great time. In the end a stock height e90 DID stick out almost being the 4x4 of the group, but its not about what mods you have, more of the love for the scene.....
