Welcome chris!! Any updates on the numbers?? Shane is the man when it comes to tuning. Just had my car tuned by him a few weeks ago.

On another other note I think I'm set on finally getting the rest of the body finished on the z for next year. And no I'm not saying what I'm getting so here's 8 months of waiting for everyone lol

I keep forgetting about getting work done on my Z and need to get estimates.

Speaking of which, this weekend would be a good one for my bros to come help me put on the roof wrap.

Anyone going to the cruise for the troops tomorrow? It seems like a pretty big circle jerk of classics (not a bad thing at all), but I haven't seen anyone on any facebook group really mention it at all.

So I'm frantically working on my 300zx today trying to diagnose a brand new no-start issue... Signs are pointing to the PTU but I don't have a spare one to test with. This means I might miss my DB appointment in the morning if I can't solve this abrupt situation.

This was the event on Saturday. http://www.cruisefortroops.com/

Basically all Murrican cars, new and old. Had lots of eye candy if you like the classics.

Just a little decent announcement for once, but the wifey was offered a job today and is in the process of going through the drug test and background before starting her training. w00t!

This will help us greatly since our youngest son is about to start some nasty meds at the hospital which is going to cost us more than the mortgage bill each month.

I don't want to jinx it, so I'll wait until it's official. It's local and the commute will be 5 minutes.

Oh, check this out. http://www.fox9.com/news/26298064-story

You worried she's gonna fail the drug test? Awkward

Quote from that article lol

"Frankly if you're going to cheat, cheat little, because if you cheat big you're going to get caught"

Thanks for the Pro Tip Hennepin County attorney Mike Freeman!

Blue bat emailed me and said that we should use the wet application method. If anyone is game for it, come on over to my house and lend a helping hand. I'm sure it will be easier to apply if I have a few bros besides Greg and Ryan.

Waiting for it to warm up outside and then I'll start cleaning the roof.

Howdy-We have an '05 touring that came with the grey painted OE 18" 6 spoke wheels that often came with the earlier cars. A neighbor bought his brothers Z and it has those wheels, but in chrome. They look very good to me both in appearance and application as I didn't think chrome really worked out very well long term on other than steel. I'd like to pick up a good set if anybody with in reasonable reach of the Twin Cities has them available-thanks

Howdy, mate.

So you're looking for the non-chrome wheels, right?
