Too bad ALL my cars are broke. Tranny died on the eclipse last night, I'll have a new one in tomarrow. The 300zx has a bad MAF and the 350 is still in pieces. The shop that's machining my VQ called with the bearing specs so I gotta order those, the gasket set and a upper oil pan. I'm gonna try to get the new trans w/ the LSD in asap tomarrow and head out to tele. I just power coated my upper IC pipe for it, looks seksi.
If anyone needs anything powdercoated lemme know, I can do anything that fits in my 3'X3'X2' oven. I only have a few colors in right now, but the transparent red and the perl blue look f'n swheeet.

Glad you guys had fun! I was trying to get a chance to take a break from the office and see if I could swing up there with my dirty *** car, but unfortunately (well...no, it was fortunate) we were really busy and I got busy with sales.
Next time you guys decide to do this, stop up at the mall so I can come hang out too! Twelve Oaks, right off of Novi and 12 mile.

Yeah, it was. Your car was looking good as usual. That blue convert Z looked sweet too. You have your car in the DUB show this weekend at Cobo? I'll be there with the same mustang guys as last weekend.

ETX can you get the Detroit Z site back up and give the info like the domain stuff to BobaFettm? His name is also Derick and he has access to server that will never go down or away like the Detroit Z seems to. Thanks for your help we need to get stuff posted for Zdayz 06 and that seems like the best place to start.

Agreed. I just ignore the ricer comments and laugh at the ignorance... most of the time. I've got one of those friends (who's more of a friend by association) that "escaped" his redneck roots and went to college, but the apple really didn't fall far from the tree. He's always saying stupid sh!+ like "When are the spinners going on?." Or making the Honda Civic w/ fart pipe noises when another Z goes by... "That guy thinks he's cool." Whatever.
My other friend bought an 05 Mustang a few months before I bought the Z. When I called him up to tell him that I bought it he was mostly confused why I didn't get a mustang. It's probably best to stop trying to make people understand and just enjoy the fact that you do.
The point is that I wanted a 2 seat, small, powerful sports car with good handling and the only company that can offer me that in my price range was Nissan. I like all kinds of cars, but I only have enough money to buy one and the Z was it!
