J,

They are very spoiled out there. As for the weather....it is a very unusually cool summer so far. June gloom is in July for them.
The inland Valleys will get hot before they know it......But they can always drive to the coast for some nice cooler temps.
We are stuck !

Do you have a Vented Hood ?

Still shouldn't stall just from a splash. I spray more water on the hood when I was the car.

Anyone buying something from Cycle Gear before 7/31 for more than $125? I got a $25 off coupon in the mail and definitely won't use it. Online only.

Thank you to the 800+ cars and estimated 2000+ attendees. It was a fantastic show and we raised a lot of money for the hospital.

rawley_12003, I have been to Cobb in Plano and they have a really nice place there. I didn't have anything done so I can't really answer your Question.
They seemed to work on a lot of Mazda's & STI's or Evo's. I'm not too sure how they were on the 350Z's. I know that most peeps go down to Austin where UpRev is and they can Tune your Z.
