DETROIT Z (meets and events)
Hey guys, I am interested to join on the Saturday. I have ZERO knowledge about the engine mods etc, but would love to hang out and probably a learn a bit from what you guys are doing.
I live in Canton and my name is Deepu.
I live in Canton and my name is Deepu.
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.

- FSM of Torque Specs

You'll have to PM AJ. If you get lost you can call my cell. I'll pm you it.
Deepu I'll be leaving from Canton too if you wanna just follow me. But if you don't wanna leave that early it's cool.

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

I think I got everyone that needed the address
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.

no but I really hate to miss this event, it was either this or all of us caravan to go and see fast and furious 3.
I hope we can all get together again b4 the xceed picnic.
Kris,
Wish you could make it too man, but hey that sounds like fun too
It is going to be a perfect day for that man
Hope it all works out for ya.
I forsee having another one of these soon, to be honest I doubt we are going to get all this stuff done in one session...

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 got a nice canon DSLR I'll bring it takes really nice pics on the tripod

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.

Just wanted to say thanks to AJ for hosting and to all those who helped. I am going to try and set up an install/allignment day at Motorwerks is Commerce Twp.for sometime in the near future. Great meeting everyone. Looking forward to the next one.
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.
