And that's just in less than a month from now. Car events here surpass the Dallas events. It is a much bigger city with a lot more people.


Stephen, aren't you turning your car into a race car? You gonna keep the AC in?

It's ok. Come summer time, we'll be enjoying the weather and you guys will be sweating like dogs.
Yeah well, I didn't sign up for shoveling ! If it keeps up...... I'm headed WEST ! I'm from Cali.... can't handle single digits, and if I want snow a 45 min drive will solve that craving ! Bonus..... surf only 15-20 min drive.

Chris I am beginning to think we aren't friends anymore sir!

Yeah, Jake and I have been working out tails off on it. The other night we got the trans back in. We have been held up by waiting on parts recently... The A/C is going to be removed, waiting on a new oil cooler, radiator is being replaced, torque dampener. Motor should be built by the end of this year too.

Want to go around the track sometime? Show ya why I moved on from drag racing

You'll always be a friend to me, man. Sounds like big things are happening with your Z. Can't wait to see the outcome.

And you sure moving was not because you couldn't beat me down the strip? Let's see what you got on the track, good sir. I'd love to attend one of your races, in all seriousness (participating would be even better).

Chris, I'm liking that shot - Brembos, drilled rotors, blue stickers on the Volks, the Nismo..
BTW, I went to a meet today. I had fun and met several cool people. None of the "high end" cars were there thanks to the Chicago weather, but there were some nice cars nonetheless.
Thanks Chris
Any of those guys up there into the Drag strip or AutoX ? Or are they more into the show than Go.

Jake- Jeremiah took the test pipes the other day. He already installed them and came over Saturday, but I totally forgot to go listen to his car. Kept getting killed in cards .

He said they where better than his last test pipes and he likes them.

1+ for megan V2 test pipes.. still can't believe I bought DE TP's for my car >.<
