What time is everybody headed out to TMS ????

I want to go and hang with the cool people.

____

Also....Thanks Jake for pounding out my TRD springs on my DD Corolla.

That spring compressor is the freakin' Bomb ! We knocked out the 4 springs in 2 hours on a car that we didn't know crap about.

BTW, the car rides so much better now with those springs on it.....10X better !

Oh man......I want big brakes !

Do you think it is worth paying all the cash for a BBK & doing a TT turbo kit on an older Z ?....Or just cutting your losses & buying a new Z with all that on it ?

I want HP !

Guy with an FX in Houston had like 110k miles and he bought a new motor, got it built, and is now running a single turbo set up. He looked at it as getting a new car after 6 years, but with no payments.

Robert,

It really is inexcusable to be lied to about the condition of a car for sale. On the other hand, if the bodywork was done well and you can't notice it then you'll be fine.

Chris,

Just my opinion, but don't go TT. It takes ALOT of money to really do it right... Just ask Jason. And spending alot of money on a BBK is a joke. Go to ArizonaZcar.com and get the Wilwood kits. $2100 front and rear = win.

Robert, that sucks, man. It reminds me of your other white Z, though. Maybe white just isn't for you.

The temps are dramatically dropping! Today and tomorrow's high is only 75..awesomeness.

Still looking for a vehicle. It sucks. My rental has to be returned tomorrow.
