BTW, I've got the Ingall's engine dampner for sale. As I was cleaning up my garage tonight, I was reminded that I still have it around and I can't use it. If you guys running with a stock plenum and strutbar want a new engine mod/bling, then this would be a good start.

I bought it for $140. I'll consider $100 for it, but no less. I really wanted this in the car, too. Damn...

You guys get first dibs. If no one's interested, I'll put it up for sale in the classifieds.

Hey Guys,

Just got the Willwood Brakes put on and rolled the rear fenders a bit to allow the tires to tuck up inside since one of the mounting brackets pushed the wheels out a 1/8" to much. I am getting my quarters redone next week but just wanted it fixed in case the weather allows for some more aggressive driving around the turns.

Anywho...I am ready for Saturday.

I was wondering, since it is suppose to be nice out tomorrow, if anyone is planning on getting together tomorrow around 6pm or so???

Thanks, Alex. I'll let you know. I get off at 5 and have to pick up Tara at 6. I won't be able to work on the Z until after that. If we can put her all together quickly, I'll be up for a quick cruise.

you all are in trouble... gots my wheels on my fit and got it about 97% together. Unfortunately I don't have the front lip painted for it yet, so the wheels are a bit much for a base fit. Regardless, they're 15's, but I keep 'em clean

I also don't have my Z parts painted.

I am willing to bet the weather will be crappy on Saturday.... at least somewhere in MN. Weather forcasters seem to be batting about .200 these days

I wanna see the Fit!

I'll be honest... I'm a fan of the Fit. I like the styling.



I'm still praying for good weather.

True! Woke up to 60+ this morning. Didn't expect that, but it was so warm yesterday.

Hey Data, when ya heading up to the meet tomorrow, depending what time ya leave, I may cruise with ya. Keep me posted, I live in the Country Club Manor area of Roch. Maybe we can meet up at the Bbuy parking lot or Walmart North or somethin tomorrow. Keep me posted or give me a shout 507 358 3159. Theres a couple other 350Z drivers in town too, but I dont believe they can make it. My friend Nick has a brilliant Silver Z, so does Ben (diff Ben than Janick knows).

Aaron, there was a supercharged fit at the south burbs meet on tuesday. He was at 85 WHP before the SC and 118 after I bet it's a fun little car though. What color's yours? One of our engineering managers at work has a bright blue one.

I know the car you speak of.... black with black volks

Mine is tidewater blue metalic. I very feminine blue unfortunately -> kind of a baby blue metalic. I have white wheels on it now, but what I really need is to get the sport aero kit on it

w00t! She lives! The Z is put back together and starts! Too bad she sounds terrible.... but that's what happens when I piece-meal everything together. I think it'll sound better with the single exhaust setup.
