Looks like there are 5 Z guys -- Scott, Chris F, Dusty, Adam, Kani -- signed up for the 19th NTAXS event already. I will probably sign up closer to the event date.

I have been to way to many soccer games! But time spent with your kids is something you can never get back. Just my observation but the most radical crazy parents are those of 5 year old soccer players. Just take a deep breath, there is no money on the line.

That's cool Eric....go and be supportive for the little guy. He will need you there....and will appreciate your support.
There will be plenty of time for playing later in life....do family first ! Always my motto.

See you at the next one.

Oh I'm definitely not missing his soccer games. Most autocrosses seem to be on Sundays now anyway. There's always a next time for racing.

WTF ? Where is everybody....I'm bored...I guess I'm gonna build me a fire tonight and hangout with a cigar. Anybody want to join me ?

I changed the tranny and Diff fluids in the Z....being pro-active. Probably didn't need it, but better safe than sorry.

+1.. I don't really know much about cigars but I like the flavor every once in a while.

I decided to change out some fluids in the Z....I had some Tranny fluid already and got some gear fluid for the rear Diff.

Can't remember when it was changed last.....so I went ahead and did it. Better safe than sorry....and the Diff had very little shavings on the Magnetic bolt, so that was good to see.

I changed mine at 25-30K mile intervals (every 1-1.5 years) when I did a lot of daily driving.

Random and maybe not PC but oh well. Just a heads up. Added a huge number of items to my thread in marketplace. Also willing to trade all for a VERIZON phone, described in the thread. If anyone is looking for anything you may find it there, lots of random Z related items. Can't change the title to reflect it unfortunately and would rather do a local thing if you take the bunch, easier than shipping it all.

Eric, why don't you do it before the Charity event ?

It would be better to do it first....your Viscosity will be used to your advantage.

Ya I was actually just talking about that today. My diff would benefit some with new fluid. Just depends on whether or not I can find the time to do it.

Anybody have any info on the Charity thing ?

Any links or clubs that are posting for it yet ?

We might be a little early to see anything about it.

Maybe ECR has something on their website.

We all need to do it this year....so much fun....it better not rain either !
