Hey guys I visited Minneapolis (and surrounding areas) two weeks ago. You guys have a very cool city and I actually like the vibe I get from the people. I will be driving up there with my family on the 23rd of May to our home in Eagan. So I hope I get to see you guys at some car meets!

Oh and I love the food there! I went to Gyropolis (I forgot where), a sushi joint Edina (nice place with really good fish!) and Freddys burgers!

First impressions is that I like it better than Ohio, but most people in Minneapolis said, "wait till winter to see if you love it here!" ha!

I think DB is booked until June. I think they do UpRev tunes.

Eagan is only 5 minutes from me depending on where you're living. You'll be here in time for the June C&C meet!

I'm glad you liked your visit. It's not that bad, even though I hate winters and the seasons.

Well, Osseo Gun Club is probably out. Sounds like a nice range, but after taxes it's like $20 per lane. I'm thinking of finding an outdoor range anyway. If anyone lives near one, post it up.

That's pretty much what I assumed. But I was bored as **** at work and wanted to do something. Like has been mentioned I've seen people on the Facebook page post about DB doing tunes. But of course this is the busy season.

Also, the range in osseo is nice, but no rapid fire, and they have a R.O. constantly walking the firing line and all that jazz (not really a bad thing of course.) But it kinda kills the fun. Plus its only 25 yards. .

And I'm planning on cruising down to C&C, but I think I stock looking Z might ruin your vibe

I wouldn't worry about the stock look. Plenty of stock cars there of all types.

I don't like ranges like that. I agree that it kills the fun.

agreed, especially Audi section usually has stock cars......but owners don't even take the time to wash them down. Annoying to me if you can't wipe down your ride one day of the month.

I've added a Magnaflow Cat Back exhaust so far, and plan on buying a 5/16" Motordyne Plenum Spacer, JWT PopCharger, Berk Test Pipes, and OSIRIS Tuner. Anyways I was wondering if you guys had any tune work done anywhere. Would RS Motors or Full Blown be viable options? Thanks in advance for your input guys

Dude I will try that out! I might have to do carry out since I would have to find a sitter to enjoy the sushi bar.

I'm not as thrilled about C&C when they let in stock cars or dirty cars. I saw a whole section of riced out drifters with a bunch of teen Asians. I shook my head and wondered why I didn't get to go in with my super clean Z.

That sucks you couldn't get in Dave. They should have a prerequisite that the car must be cleaned/washed as a min, I mean it is a car show so that really shouldn't be an issue. They should also put all those clapped out drift cars and any car "under construction/project cars" in an area just out side the gates like in the grassy area as you come in.

Yeah, with the way things seem to be there, I'm not sure I want to get up that early or park my Z inside. I'll probably start taking the van and bring my kids and adult friends that want to come with.

Saw your Z there btw, it was indeed looking super clean. Also, was that area you were parked in just general parking? It's really fun to see all those cars I'll never own, but Boost for boobies was pretty damn cool to go to as well. Go figure the first car on the dyno when I got there was a silver 04 350z

Jotham, they made me park there because the lot was full. However, there were some crappy wannabe drift cars surrounded by some Asian teens who were total posers. SMH
