MySunset350Z,

Who's doing the work? I might have a guess because those excuses sound familiar.

as tempting as it is, i will refrain from saying anything right now. (they still have my car, and i really dont care how long they keep it as long as their work is flawless). i've already had a bad experience with them with my last car, but since i was reffered to them by a reputable company, i decided to give them a 2nd chance. we'll see how things turn out. BUT, that doesnt mean you cant guess.

my garage feels naked without the z.

No the guy at the shop called me and said someone is coping off your idea. I figured it was you . I am just going to have the rear of my car tubbed and put in some 22" wide slicks. Then I am going to take out the VQ and the trans. Replace them with a 454 big block and TH400.

There's a nice overview. If you check XceedSpeed in the next day or two, a lot more people will post their pics.

It's funny that you saw that GT on the way home. We saw one on the way there. I can't tell in your pic, but did it have damage on the driver's door like this?

The exact same one. Where did you see it. I was on 94 east of 23 about two miles. I don't think it is damage. They are still testing this car. A fried of mine works for ford in Dearborn and they are in the last part of testing.

Well I did thanks to Yancy. All you people and your mods. UghHH Everytime I go to one of these meets I get Mod. fever. Just purchased two items. One is the carbon fiber air guide. I wouldn't tell you about the other until we meet again. Not a TT or anything like that. No exhaust either.

Yancy, what oil pump did you get?

Next meet June 5 at BW3 in Novi!?

I am looking for a set of original Bridgestone rear tires, 235/50-17.

Any of you who have gone with aftermarket rubber / wheels interested in selling??
