I thought he wont have it until next week.

Mike when you get back lets talk about that trade, since the Z is no longer my DD I can do the swap now and finish the rest later! I am saving money like crazy with the new job and I am just going to go all out at once instead of an incrimental build

uugghhhh I just ate pizza since I saw no responses as of yesterday for it, damn it. yeah it went to 70% chance of rain now friday to. sigh, maybe when I get back after getting married the 15th when can get this going again. I have been super busy with wedding planning 3000 miles away and finding a job.

BTW got a job lined up, might be working for mazda corp. doing rotorary engine rebuilds with them in a new facility, sounded fun and they apparantly loved me in my interview

lol thanks man

I am surprised, with all the crazy stuff we went through, that we made it. But, we did, and without one scratch on it. So, I will be posting a thread, but if I see you guys before I do I'll tell you about it.

Chris - whats your schedule like this week? I need to change the oil pretty soon. If you let me use the garage you can take it for a spin

I take it you went the south route? I did the the northern/I-80 route to get the girl her in august, she hated it but we made it outta wyoming the first day from the bay area and she demanded we sleep. Probably a lot funner in a Z then a civic though.

Aww man that is a tough one...how does Sunday sound? Say 1ish? Give me a call, we'll work it out.

The sentra hit the road this week so there is plenty of room in there...

I may be able to get the oil changed tonight, I don't know for sure yet though. Congrats on getting the Sentra up and running Chris... thats awesome! How's it run?

We basically went 40 the whole way... I've got a shetload of stories about the trip... it was wild man. I'm gonna be making a thread soon, including pics.

I finally got all the tape off of it last night and just did a quick wash to get all the stuff off. I'm probably going to be claybaring it soon since A LOT of stuff happenned on the road.

Here's a teaser pic I took on the way into work this morning for you all

AWESOME! But you still have to come by sunday, we'll find some reason for you to give me a ride, lol.

The sentra runs okay...right now I'm chasing a few electrical gremlins and haven't even wired up cam switchover. But it will be one hell of a daily, a buddy of mine worked with a guy at a nissan dealer, he had the same motor in a se-r with bolt on's and was neck and neck with a brand new Z. This was a few years back, but still a testament of how quick she'll be.

I guess that means trouble for the Z though...going to have to dump more flow into my "Supercharge the Z" fund

I'm down, dropping off the car for a week on Saturday to get the bumper put on/fit/painted, so it will almost be April if you don't see it this week!
