So far, it looks like the snowstorm went north of me and it's gonna miss me entirely.

Met Sportbiketed today and installed springs on blk06xs G. Went pretty smoothly[/QUOTE]

Looks like the first "group" install of the year went well! Hopefully many more to come.
I just go back to MN from Cancun...I love catching up and hearing all the comments about the weather being nice here. I got the itch to drive the Z after being in the 80+ degree weather down there.

Isn't there an auto show coming up at the convention center around this time of year?

So far, the snow has missed me up here. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it all misses me and everywhere south of me.

You're no fun... give up the childish ways only.

I will most likely be headed to the show to see what's there. If anyone is interested there welcome to tag along. I'm trying to think what new models will be worth checking out???

How bad are you guys getting hit by the snow?

It's just starting up here.

I guess the stuff yesterday was just the preliminary snow.

You should double check this....

2005 aniversary has the Rev-up
2006 auto has the standard DE
2006 manual has the Rev-up

I don't know how the ECU will cross over to a revup. You might want to give the shop you are buying the AEM from a call and discuss this; or maybe call Sharif
