I can't imagine my Z without the APS TT any more. It's an easy drive until you get on the gas -- then hold on!

Don't mean to hijack this thread but Jeff, are you out of town this weekend or will you be going to go autocross this Sunday?

Hey Vic, how was your vacation? You better get your car back soon! We expect you to be one of the caravan leaders.

My shirt came in...gotta show it off.

Small world...I've got a buddy in Willimantic who's a TA at UConn. I usually make a run down there every couple months, so maybe I'll see you around the next time I'm in the neighborhood.

Was she in a Chrome Silver Z? If so, that was Stacey and she's coming to the Cape Cod meet with us. Her screenname is SHIFTS on the list.

Let me know when your car is done as I'd like to check it out. Next Saturday some of us will be getting together at XXTuning as my car should be going on the dyno to see what the APS TT puts out. If you want to stop by, we'll be there from around 11:00 AM until 3:00 PM.

Hi Ace, have you seen our post on the Cape Cod meet planned for 5/14? If you are interested, and want to meet a whole lot of G and Z owners make plans to join us. One of our caravans will meet at exit 21 in Middletown at the Mobile gas station. See the Cape Cod thread for more details...

Tommy, there's nothing specific I'm aware of between those dates in CT. There's an event in the Pocono's that ZGCA members are participating in the weekend of the June 18th and then June 25th there is a big Z/G meet at Englishtown that I know I'll be going to but you won't be around for that. They're expecting around 300 cars for that meet.

ACE_GTS, welcome aboard. Greg (whitetrack) is right. We currently have over 20 Z's driving up on May 14th to Cape Cod. I live in Middletown and some of us will be meeting up at the Mobil in Cromwell off Exit 21 on Route 91 (across from the Super 8) at 7:00 AM to start the caravan. Hope you can join us.

This Saturday some of us will be at XXTuning in E. Hartford from around 11:00 - 3:30 PM as my car, hopefully, will be finished and getting dyno tuned. Come on by if you're not doing anything. You can get directions from www.xxtuning.com.

It's a long story. If you want to stop by on Saturday (my car is going on the dyno at noon), we can fill you in on the details.

Basically they applied for a license for their new facility back in March but it has yet to be issued. They do have a license under their other company name (Body Dynamics) which does mostly clear film, alarms, etc.


I think the major emphasis of their report was to crack down on shops removing catalytic converters and they tried to get XXTuning to do this for them on an undercover sting but they were denied. There was another shop that said they were willing to do it but it wasn't XXTuning.

If you really want to read up on this story (including a post from one the news people that started this whole thing), you may want to read this thread:

http://www.thepike.net/forums/showth...4713#post94713

I wouldn't worry about it as it was a reporter trying to stir up a story to get attention. XXTuning is a reputable and has nothing to be ashamed of. You can stop by and check it out for yourself and you'll see what I mean.

If you're planning to come to XXTuning tomorrow, I'll be there around 11:00 AM. They are scheduling my car for the dyno at noon.

See you there.
Vic

Thanks guys for the invite but I I’ll be in Vegas that weekend for a Boxing fight (Trinidad vs. Winky), sorry for the very late response. Any other CT meets, please keep me posted cause I’m looking forward to get to know some of your other Z & G fans.
