Last time we went [after work] there were 3 hot ones, but unfortunately we got a busted one as our waitress FTML. Maybe it's different during the lunch shift?

Sign me up I want to ride in a turbo Z, either yours or Slims or Jeffies since those are the only people I know with one. So when I get back after my deployment I know if I want to Turbo mine or just leave it as is.

These 3 are not comparable

What are you supplying? I know of another bagel/sandwhich shop that gets a lot of business every day right next to my store. Locally owned. My best friends dad owns it. Called Bagel Cafe.
Supplying bagels, muffins and cream cheeses.... get me a hook-up Kyle

However I will eat any bagel that Cass supplies
Thanks Grizz

Have any of you switched out your gauge clusters for another style/color? If so I need some info?
Clay - swapping out the main cluster is difficult since it holds a lot of info in it. The odo and vin are stored in the cluster and may cause inspection issues without it. I have had the LEDs swapped out to blue, but this is a tough DIY job and getting the needles back on in the right place is VERY difficult.

The center is easy if you swap all 3, just remove the console and unplug it at the back, a few screws and the whole cluster comes out as a unit.

You can however, buy an extra center cluster, preform any mods you want to that and then swap it in and out for inspections. This is what I do. Its just 1 plug and 4 screws under the steering column

Hey anyone know anyone with a boosted Z they need taken off their hands? Either 350 or 370
$24K blown up (current state) or $30K if I put it back together again. Berto is faster, but mine is prettier

Cass,

as Jeffie loves to continue pointing out I'm NA and aside from the usual bolt-ons have no engine upgrades to speak of. But when I get my car back from the bodyshop, I'd like to make some subtle changes...nothing too elaborate or fancy.
Something pretty much like you described, just wondering if anyone had done this yet and if it caused any headaches?

Testpipes/exhaust/pop charger count for something.

Just remember clay, no matter how much I rag on you for being slow. I will always have your back when it comes to helping you go faster. Just give me the word and I'll try to make it happen.

We always pick on the ones we love. Remember our hug the other night? I felt the connection.

Cass's are awesome. Everything that is orange in his car is blue. And his valentine reads in his mirror. Some of the coolest interior mods I have seen.

The 3 fastest Z's (In terms of HP) in Mid-A belong to Alberto, Cass007 and Abui01. That's with BamBam retiring of course.

HP or dyno numbers dont mean squat

I wish the Mid-A boosted cars would nut up for a "cruise" meet, would make for good times, and good video.

Would you like a teddy bear and the friendship bouquet together or just the flowers/vase combo?

lol I totally agree! But like I said I put those stats out based on HP. I love how dyno queens like to say they have 1000 HP but don't have the driving skill or traction to utilize any of that power.
