I was thinking of going there, but they are always backed up and I will never leave my car at a shop. Some people drop it off for a couple days and pick it up later......yikes! I've been around a lot of shops, even very reputable shops and cars that sit become tool cabinets, coat hangers, magazine stands, dust collectors, etc. I've been around this stuff way too much lol.

Its fun working on the engine now. I'm collecting some stuff but it will be a while til' I'm able to get a dyno. I won't put all the stuff in until I baseline my car. Plus it will give me some time to save up and get a few more things. In the meantime, I am cutting some fat off the car. I'm weighing all the parts I replaced, removed, and added. So far I've cut 77lbs. and counting. There's still a lot of things I didn't weigh.
Anyways, its almost the end of the month. I'm looking to have our next meet on the 21st (Saturday). Details hopefully by next week or maybe earlier.

It's good to have you back rich. The HD thread has been pretty dead the last few weeks. I see the fellas on other threads but mostly just me and jonathan posting here. Hopefully that changes now that your back Anyways I will post up details for our next meet later this week. I spread the word to more 240 guys so we're looking to have a bigger crowd this month. Hopefully you can gather up the Friday night barstow group to come over on the next meet.

Yeah sorta noticed things were a bit quiet here, lol. So I see you got engine components in your arsenal now a page back, nice! Have you decided to do it yourself or have GTM install it? If you need a helping hand I can drive down there, gotta take Izzy in for a factory recall sometime soon anyways. So we're already in the making of another HD meet? Damn last one was pretty big, pretty hyped for the next one, the more the merrier I say, lol. Haven't seen any of the Barstow crew around or jondaspr posting, so I'll shoot him a pm see if any they're down to roll out, hopefully they can, missed the last couple Friday meets, hope they haven't forgotten about me, haha.

I will be doing all the installations and tune with the Osiris. I am planning on taking it to Tuning Technologies (very reputable shop and I'm friends w/the owner ) for the Dyno runs. Thanks for the offer to help, I'm sure though that it won't be hard to do. I'm going to spread out the job since I don't daily drive the car. Pretty much the work I do to the car will be determined by my schedule or mood, LOL. I'm not setting an actual time to start intallations. I'm gathering all the aftermarket parts first and I'm planning on doing a baseline dyno in a few weeks or maybe next month before I start taking the car apart. Slowly but surely.....
What's everyone else been up to?

i see at least a couple z's a day... for example: I seen a 2007 red 350z with chrome stocks (I said to her: "Nice Z", she said: "Thanks...") Then I seen 2 z's: A silver 03-05 and an 06 Daytona at Target! God, I just can't get enough of this car. I find myself just starring at other z's soo much, almost like i don't have one of my own!

When: 21st (Saturday)
Time: 6:45pm/7:30ish roll out
Cruise: Leave meet to same plaza across Home Depot off of R. Rogers

UPDATE ON MEET
This is good news for some who can't make it. I am cancelling the date for the 21st of this month and pushing it back until maybe the second week of next month. My car will be at SP Engineering that Saturday then be on jackstands at home for a few weeks as I begin with the fun part ----> engine mods
