Yes it was. I see you car there all the time. I was just down the isle from you on Tuesday night. I'm there all the time. Can't loose weight though.
Everyone. Where are we meeting on the 15th. How about BWs again. No one bothered us.

May 15 is the XceedSpeed BBQ at Stony Creek Metropark. There is always a very big turnout and it's a great time. I went to both of them last year and will be doing the same this year. To give you an idea of how much fun it is, I'm skipping a wedding and driving almost three hours just to go. A number of us from the West Michigan Z Club will be heading down in a caravan.
This year there will also be a event at Milan after the BBQ. This will be geared more towards sport compacts. Domestics must have full interior, roll up windows, and can't be tubbed. This should be a lot of fun, too.
It would be cool to have a big row of 350Z's parked at the BBQ. last fall there was a row of about 10 MKIV Supras, so we should try to top that.

we need to get organized here. are we just going to show up at the park or is anyone interested in meeting up at BW3 and driving to the park together? whats everyone planning on doing? it'd probably be less of a hassle to just meet up at the park, but i it would be sweet to drive up there together. anyway, i only read back 2 pages, so if theres anyone i missed make sure you mention that ur going just so we know what kind of a z turnout we're gonna get.

i sent an email to the older model z guys, and the g35 people last night.
jonathan, get the G2 calliper paint kit instead of that vht crap. even the 1500degree stuff flaked off on my last car. the G2 kit comes will the the stuff you need including a caliper cleaner and its paint on not spray on so you dont have to take your calipers off. the G2 kits is a bit more expensive, but its worth it.
i got mine from www.tirerack.com for $38 plus shipping. im sure there are other places that sell it, but i really didnt bother looking around.

i spent 2 days painting my calipers.... right now im dissapointed in that. and brake fluid did a number on the rear paint job. also i spent about a hour and a half bleeding my brakes. i think they are to what they were before but im still checking for leaks. i had a constant flow of 3 people helping me too for most of the time. im letting the car sit tonite to completely dry the paint. the spray did a nice job of making it look real nice but putting it back on was messay and kind of took some paint off. not really noticible when the rim is on. i ended up using some other crap that i got im not sure what it was called but it seemed good.... it better last !!!
