Don't listen to negative Nancy over there. It depends on what the day looks like for that day. Obviously the nicer the day the better the showing.

I go once or twice a year, I really just go to look and don't care to enter my car. Im NOT a morning person so the weather has to be nice for me to go, seems like last year it rained 75% of the days that the event was on.

I really like going to C&C. It's just a nice way to start a warm Saturday morning. It's also a great place to watch people and look at toys.

lol @ negative Nancy. Aaron, you need to get some sun.

Sigh...so many cars out there that I want. I would like another toy, but I'm just frustrating myself by looking.

Found a really nice '73 240Z in Houston. Man, if I had some cash right now, I'd probably buy it.

Misery loves company, doesn't it?

BTW, I'm looking for that x pipe on eBay. Can I have some help? I'm getting distracted by homework issues and stuff.

Is that it?

The real HKS is 2.25" and all the replicas are 2.5" if my research is right.

You're right. There is that difference which I overlooked.

I'm watching a video on YT about the GT-R on the Ring.

Wondering if it's worth it after labor or if I should just pull the trigger on a new CBE.

Im sure it will be about $200 with labor here in MN, unless someone has a hook up for the install.

I wonder if we could get a group rate at one shop. Tell them that we have several people interested in doing this and see if they'd be willing to lower the labor costs.

$10-15 tops I bet if that, it's such a small job so I doubt it.

Thanks, Greg. That's really the part? Wow. So small.

I looked up dealers in our area, and there are a few on Hwy 13.
