I am bringing:

- MD 5/16 Iso Thermal Plenum spacer
- set of 2 jack stands
- extra sockets (haven't really worked on the Z -- not sure what sizes to bring -- so, I will bring the usual suspects)
- the JWT popcharger that I just removed (didn't love the sound and stock intake is better IMO), if someone wants it
- my younger brother (maybe) he is a wannabe mechanic and has small hands

I plan on coming by b/w 9-9:30. Is that too early? I want to get a head start so I can finish up and help others, plus I need to leave by 1:30 or so.

I will be there no later than 9 am.

Will be bringing:

- FSM of Torque Specs
- Gloves
- Safety Glasses
- HFC + Gaskets
- Hotchkis Fr/RR Swaybars
- PowerGrid Endlinks
- Sockets, torque wrench, set of 2 jackstands
- Donuts and coffee

Rob, disregard my PM. I didn't read through the messages when I asked for the time you were leaving. What town/city are you guys meeting in?
Depending on that, I might decide if I want to follow you or drop by a little later.

Btw, do any of you guys ride Motorcycles? I have one but don't ride with any group and I only use it to commute and for fun rides by myself. I have a 2007 Kawasaki Ninja 650R

Glad everyone is going to come out.

Also everyone bring $$ to pitch in for lunch, I assume we will get something quick and painless..

Rob, go ahead andChange it, but if you spill you will not have to deal with me, you will have to deal with Jess, god speed on that.

Someone should also bring a Camera, some good photo ops will be available
There is going to be ALOT of Z's and G's here.
At the end of my neighborhood is Novi highschool with a huge parking lot, a nice opportunity for some vids, and pics.
I will have my Camera, but its OK at best.

Rob, call FedEx. They can hold the spacer for you at the office and you can pick it up tomorrow. They are open and I think they open at 8. Worse comes to worse you can drop your car at AJ's and one of us can take you to the FedEx office. I had to do this today, so I know it can be done.

I should be there around 11-1130 (Gotta clean her up atleast a little - Yikes!)

I'll also bring a digital SLR for pics. My rear glove compartment (aka trunk) won't hold much but I'll try and bring ramps & such to help out.

That would be fantastic! Please make it by the end of April (if possible).

I have a bunch of mods stacked up for a single install. (Eibach Sportline springs, F&R 350EVO sways, end links and F&R Camber kits) Of course, I will need an immediate alignment as a result of them.
