Hey guys! I'm new here as far as posting goes. Bought my Z August 06'. I live on the west side of Indy---Plainfield to be exact. I'm a bartender at Buffalo Wild Wings there---ever had a beer or 2...or 3? Well anyways, my car is about ready to be driven again, been working on it for the past couple months, can't wait to see what it's got!! Just thought I'd see what's in the area..my names Brian!!!

No, I think it may be a lubrication issue on something. It definitely sounds like a knuckle cracking noise when I roll just not as sharp.

I think I'm up on 111th...but I'm not positive...It's at the Delta Faucet building...the big white one on the right (that really narrows it down...right ) anyways, yeah, I think I'm gonna be stuck down there for a few days at the end of March...maybe we could all meet up then and grab a Beer with Brian at Bdubs!!!

Ya, I was beginning to think the same. Anyone up for getting together in April? Also, the Indy Z club is having a spring opener at the end of March in Avon i think. Kind of like a cookout/mod day. I'll let you know the details.

PS: Do you guys at Parkwood 9 want to grab lunch one day in the next week or two? Let me know.

Ya, I bet that would look ok. I mean, your needles will still be Red so it will match them if anything ya know. I just need Blue LEDs because for one, I hate Amber, and two, my Boost and EGT Gauges are Autometer C2's and they are bright blue! They look great, but the dash would scream if they were all blue. I'm going to replace my 3 gauges in the center with C2's as soon as I can. I just don't do well with electronics. I PMed Acree, the LED King on here it seems but nothing back yet. I'll let you know what I do. If you get a jump on it first, let me know!

Guys, I bought Speedhut Black/Colbalt Gauges and had Acree swap in blue LED's in the A/C controls and the two LED screens in the guages for a reasonable price. The DVD/TV/CD player was already backlight blue. All in all I could not be happier with the turnout. Even though it's a mix of different items, the blue is all the same color and looks sharp as hech at night.
Best mod done to date!
PM Acree and ship em down to TX, turn around for me was 2 days + shipping. I just do not trust my skills enough to attempt this mod. Tried with my previous car and it did not work out well.
Good luck!

I'll definitely be doing it myself...Acree gave that write-up that gave all the part numbers...and I'm an electrical engineer...so i've slung a little solder around in my day
Brian, if you are interested, I could probably get yours done as well...it'd save you the shipping to texas! we'll see what happens!

Looks like we are having an LED party @ SweetDreamz's house!!! I'll bring the strobe lights.....But back to talk of meeting at Bdubs sometimes...I'm going to try and organize here in the summer a big meet of as many of the cars as we can, map out a route, and then finish at Bdubs for some wings and beers if you will. We could always use the business, and the parking lot out there is pretty large, and lacking of sweet rides. It would be on a Saturday. And if you've never been there, our Bdubs has a patio area outside for extra space, so there is plenty of room! Let me know if any of you guys would be interested, and spread it around and get some input!!

I'm definitely down for somethin like that!
What are you all doin next tuesday afternoon/evening. I'll be down there on business during the day, and my only plans are to drive home that night...so if you all wanted to meet up for some grub or something, that'd be cool.
