Default Detroit Z - Potential Meet at MotorWerks in Commerce Twp.

I mentioned a potential meet at MotorWerks (www.motorwerksgroup.com) at the mod party last weekend. I was hoping that I could get us access to the lifts, air tools, etc., but that probably will not be a possibility for the first go around. That said, the owner will definitely let us hold a meet there. He also said that if there is enough interest, he would have one of his techs (or more) come in to handle alignments, wheel mounting and balancing, tech inspections, etc. If this meet goes well, we may be able to work something out with him to the future to hold a mod party at MotorWerks. If you guys can give me an indication of interest, I can try and set something up. Let me know...

OK, I didn't click on your link till just now. Holy Cripes! This is a high end shop. I'd never consider wrenching in their shop. I'd be afraid to get the floor dirty.

This would be an AWESOME event! I saw the pictures of the Mercedes Club in there. If that guy in a rare Mercedes 300 roadster trusts Motorwerks to do an alignment, I'm in. Besides, these guys have the best of the best equipment. I don't have to worry about them scratching my wheels or F'ing up my low front end.

Please count me in for sure! Avoid May 9th as that is the day of the Dick Scott Nissan show in Canton. Any weekend before is better for me so I'm ready for that show.

Here are pics from their website. These guys regularly host events so we'd better reserve a weekend soon. I'd be happy to chuck in a couple Jacksons towards some pizza if that will help draw folks.

LOL - There's no rating system to determine if you can join in. Stock is beautiful too!

Thanks Brian - they have nothing scheduled for a while. 4/25 is out for me, since I am headed to Gingerman that day. What about the next weekend - 5/2?

5/2 would be perfect for me. One week before the show in Canton and I'd have the suspension squared away. Then I can focus on clean up.

I don't have any work needed on my Z either, but, I'd attend for the heck of it if I'm free.

yes, this meet will be open to all Z members. Looks like we should have a pretty decent turnout. I will firm up the details.

The shop looks very German.

I really need an alignment myself, do you think it would be possible for me to bring the S4 out?

Also, any idea on the rates? (If I'm aloud to come)
