Update for those in my cabin: We will be in unit 512. (I believe I linked to the village map on the first post.)

EDIT: Link changed: Here is the new map ==> http://www.fontanavillage.com/downlo...llagerooms.pdf

 

Who's got what? I don't mind sleeping on the couch if it'll be cheaper

btw so should I bring a sleeping bag an pillows just in case?

 

A bed would be pretty nice. :P I'll be bringing a sleeping bag too just in case someone needs it.

 

There are three beds and a sleeper sofa. I've paid 1/3 of the total cost and I will cover the taxes. In exchange, the big guy is taking the queen bed. I will also buy some food and beer.

Deepu, Rob and Lee; I will let you all divide up the rest as you see fit. The two twins are nice but the queen sofa couch is pretty awesome too. Deepu, I know you requested a bed so I guess you get a twin. Rob, you want the couch so Lee you get the other twin. Respect the man code and no accidental drunken spooning.

As for food, we should discuss this before leaving. Deepu, I believe you are vegetarian, right? I can work with that! Any chance the four of us can meet up this weekend or on Tuesday or Wednesday next week? I took all next week off but I am crazy busy trying to work on the car.

(This weekend I install the front and rear bumpers, finish the brakes, install the radio, swap the hood back to the OE, mount the tires to the powdercoated wheels, etc. Next week I roll fenders, correct the toe, install radius arms, get a 4 wheel align and tint. If I have time, clay bar the car, detail and wax.)

 

I probably won't be able to meet up since we have a track day on Thursday and I leave for Atlanta Saturday morning. Lee, Deepu and I can discuss it on Thursday though.

Regarding food and drinks, we can definitely all split it evenly. And any special needs we should try to fulfill.

Brian looks like you have TONS of stuff to do still lol. Sorry I won't be around this weekend to help you, but hopefully the other guys will offer to help you as much as you've helped us.

 

Glad the bed is still available. I need the bed please

I am open to splitting food and beverages evenly. I eat meat but only chicken or seafood. But I would not want to hold you guys off on that. Please feel free to get whatever you like. I can pick up something it's no biggie.

I am open to meet to figure out some of things for the trip. Brian please let me know if I can come over and help you with your car. I'll be glad to come and lend a hand with some direction.

 

Good luck on track day. I look forward to hear the outcome! You will be missed this weekend but I am happy for you and Sarah. ( If she says yes. LOL )

When we arrive, we can take a couple cars down to Robbinsville and make a grocery run. I wanted some idea on what y'all want to eat so I can prepare some menu. LOL

I can definately work with chicken and seafood. I'm actually quite good in the kitchen (you can tell by looking at me - LOL). I'll keep it simple but good! If anyone has a favorite recipie, I take requests.

Thanks for the the offer of help. Early Sat morning, I will take the wheels and tires to Discount Tire on Carpenter in Ypsi. I'll be back at the house by lunch time. Y'all are always welcome anytime.

 

lol thanks Brian. I'm not asking her this weekend, but I am asking her parents.

Regarding food, we definitely need to grill ribs/burgers/brats etc.

Morning I say we'll need some greasy food (to absorb all that alcohol)

And we'll need detox food too like veggies

 

Lee, you'd asked about a grill earlier. Were you thinking about bringing one?

 

I could maybe toss mine in a trash bag and bring it along since I won't have a passenger... Hard to beat a nice steak when camping.

 

What time do you think we should leave and where are we meeting Thursday?

 

Is there a time change the day we are leaving? That would really suck as we would have to leave at 4:45 then

So, Brian you were asking about getting together to figure out things for the trip. I can stop by tomorrow morning and lend a hand with your car and may be discuss?

 

No time change.

Yeah, Brian, Do you want to do the stereo tomorrow afternoon?

 

I will post up better detail about the meeting spot. There is a gas station off I257 and Ecorse. I figure this is the easiest spot to meet.

Leave the gas station at 5:45am. We want to be at the meet spot in Lexington at 11 to 11:30 am. (This is good as it gets us into FVR with lots of time to chill or go have some fun.)

I will be at the meet spot at 5:30 am. I will double check to make sure they are open at that hour and if there is food available.

It will be 3.5 to 4 hours to Cincy. (Puts us there around 9:45am)

It is about 1 1/4 hours to Lexington. Gets us there about 11:15. This is worst case scenario as we will put the hammer down a little. (80-ish most of the way.)

 

And I will meet you guys at the cabin.

Not sure if there's phone service, but if there is gimme a call when u get in.

Have a safe trip guys.

 

Prolly no phone service. Number is 512. You will see our cars there by 5:00pm.

 

hey guys, sorry havent been on in a while, been super busy. got the exhaust on though

food is food, im in for whatever, ill chip in for the grocerys.

 

I wasn't sure if you were coming. Awesome!

I took off the next three days to get the car ready. I am so sore from working the past 11 hours. Installed the repainted V2 bumper, a Tourenn rear bumper that ended up not working with my exhaust so I reinstalled the rear bumper and tuck; rear brakes, greased the sway bar bushings, added spacers in front and a long list of other minor things.

Anyway, we can throw on that exhaust if needed. I'm buried on Monday and Tuesday morning. (Roll rear fenders, correct the toe problem, 4 wheel align and window tinting.)

Anyone else need some help before ZdayZ?

 

Just saw your post Lee!

Monday am I'll be at AutoAddictions. The rear fenders are getting rolled and spacers added to flush it up a little better. Then I run home, install the Wicked Tuning radius arms and SPC toe bolts and scoot over to Dick Scott Nissan for a 4:30pm 4-wheel align. LOL.

I bought a soldering iron, solder and heat shrink tubing. Tomorrow would be impossible but Tuesday pm or anytime Wed works. If I get my list of to-do's for the Z done, I may take a stab at it on Tuesday. I got the install kit, the OE wiring harness and the wires that came with the headunit. Everything I've read says an antenna adapter is not required. I couldn't get the iPod controller box so I will have to add that later.
