2007 Midwest Heritage Show Video
http://www.youtube.com/v/nXzW2jeFe2I
**NOTE** For best picture quality make screen about 1/4 size of monitor.
I know I'm late in getting this video done, but here it is from the show hosted by the Indy Z Car Club in Nashville, Indiana last year. I'm sure the Chicago Show will be just as great. All, please join us in Chicago for a great event. Thanks!

Stopped in at the Marriott (Hickory Ridge Marriott in Lisle on RT 53
1195 Summerhill Drive Lisle, IL 60532 Phone: 630-971-5000 ) on my way through the area, where the Z fest will be held, and it's very nice.
All the outdoor activities will be available; including basketball, horseshoe, tennis, 4 golf venues in the area, a shuttle to areas within a 5 mile radius, and even to Downers Grove where one of the largest car shows takes place on Friday nights.
They also have a racquetball court with equipment supplied by the hotel and a small indoor pool.

To update this thread, On the Sunday their will be a dyno day (must be scheduled in advance), car meet, tech session, and FREE BBQ. This will be hosted by one of the premier Z and G tuners in the country. Genesis Racing and Development (GRD).
We are looking for ideas for the tech sessions. If you have anything you would like to learn on how to do (that is reasonable, as far as time goes), plese post!

- not exactly a how to step by step but maybe an overall how-to to build a reliable TT Z. Something along the lines on what parts and $$ are involved for 350-400whp, 400-500, and 500+ ranges. Including what routine maintenance is involved.
- How to install suspension parts.
- How to install brake parts
- How to change the spark plugs.
