72 here right now....damn I miss my car:mad:

Yeah but at the same time I wouldn't want it any other way. Why blend in the herd, when you can stand out.:happydance:

ya loving the weather, had to get out and shoot some new pics of the z yesterday

Ouch....do spend another $3000... probably not!!!

to be honest i probably still wouldnt come to events, the few i have been here are full of 19-20 year olds who can only think about street racing and being noobs.

Haha well that is not us. i think i am the youngest one at 23. we seem to have a pretty good group around here, so if u ever get the chance to come to a meet that would be great

I think I'll be the old f*cker at 37.....damn my hip hurts :ohsnap1:
Trust me I work with 20 somethings guys all the time. Just depends on how they were raised.

I used to come to KC all the time, stayed in Overland Park and worked down in Lacygne, KS. I have since switched jobs and only come to Charlotte, NC now.

there are some mighty fine women in overland park... :happydance:

you could be my dad! :gtfo2:


kidding im 28

I'm most likely the oldest at 43....my whole body hurts.....

Touche ...work with one kid who is 19... I am old enough to be his dad.

what do you all do, Im a consultant for a Utility Company here in NC/OH I run a software program for them

scott can barely get his walker in his z! :roflpuke2: KIDDING! we are still a younger group i would say

but as to what i do, im a drafter at a large engineering company here in kc

whats everyone else do

I work on and build communication towers/install cellular sites. Been at it for 16yrs. I'm the old man of the group, next to the owners. Damn job is getting to be technical now fiber optics and the 4g BS.

what kind of products you engineer?

not trying to get your background and stalk you, just courious :icon17:

4g LTE for the win!

haha its no prob. We do substation design. Right now most of the substations we are designing or renovating are up in michigan. i like it cuz its pretty steady. everyone needs electricity right?!

yeah we probably do a lot of the same things, I manage a program that builds the power plants/substations. When i was in KC it was at the Lacygne Power Plant KCP&L doing an outage.

sweet. most of our work is with METC/ITC/detroit edison right now

Tower did you ever do any data logging?

Such as for what? Are you referring to speeds or signal strengths

lol no on yout car for the sts tune, for uprev to work on the tune.

Not yet....I'm currently working out of town,which is about 6-9 months a year,so I haven't had a chance to do it yet. Plus I have to hope the guys who did the install have my cable. Didn't know it was mine.

yeah that is yours, it is useless to the tuner you have the license to it on your ECU right now, that cable is $$$ too, i would call asap and ask her it back!

300-$400 from what STS told me...the guys are bad at returning phone calls. So most of the time I just drive to there shop and tell them what I need. Sucks but that's part of the reason I will never do business with them again, well that and I found out they over charged me on some of the parts.

fortunately we only live once! :stirthepot:

Yeah but the money keeps going out....on top of that it's 2012 so we've only got 11 months to go before the world ends.:bowrofl:
I think what I had going on now isn't going to happen. I don't think I'm willing to drop another $3500 on my car this year. 15k in less than a year is enough,even though I would love to...just can't do it anymore.:rolleyes:

3500 for what?

If I can't pick up the cash in a timely matter then I can say but I was asked not to say anything about it. Sooooo I got to be quite about it until it falls completely through. I doubt I can get that kinda of cash in the next month. Already got to come up with $2650 by the end of the month. Gotta check to see if money company will spot me the cash or at least half of it.

thats no fun to throw it out there and then keep it a secret.

:iagree: just so happens a few days ago he had asked me not to say anything. Really its not like we're trying to reinvent the system but he asked me to not say anything so I've got to respect his wishes. For now.:stirthepot:

so should i wait a bit to see if this is something i would want?

The more I think about it the less of a "secret " it really is. I was going to send my car into them to STS and have them look at my system and redesign it if it needed it. Since I have the only know at7 370 I thought it would save them some time in development if I sent mine into them. With the transportation costs and etc it's gonna be almost to much to handle right now.

i have a 6mt so i shouldnt worry about it i see, whats with you all getting auto Z's? lol

They are actually faster than the manuals...it also has a "manual" side with paddle shifting

haha i love me some 6mt, but will agree that about every mag has the 7at quicker to 60mph

Yep. The only reason for manuals anymore is the feel of shifting the car. There is a reason the super cars are primarily autos now.

You can't out shift a computer

Just as an FYI for everyone. seems like this meet has grown a lot. so to ensure that we dont outgrow our locations or have issues with dyno times i think it may be better if we keep all invites from this point on to z's and subies. anyone invited up until this point is good to come tho, no matter what the make and mdoel.

i kno it may sound harsh, but we gotta make sure that z and subie guys have priority on dyno day festivites

also, since we are about a month out we should maybe get a dyno priority list for the z's. theres a few ways we could do it:

- first come first serve (meh)
- keep list formatted as is and just issue time slots accordingly(not a terrible idea)
- doesnt matter too much, we'll go when we go (my favorite)

i think we will be alternating z, subie, z subie, on the dyno.


possible z's to dyno

Edub370
tower74
sboden
DIGItonium
kraken

i personally dont car who goes first, second or last. i'm just gonna "fit in where i get in" on the dyno list. figure if we are all good with just going whenever then we can just let the subie guys know, and just kinda alternate back and forth.

however, if anyone is REALLY wanting to roll please speak up and i can get a priority list goin.

The way it looks right now tho, everyone that wants to dyno will get a chance to dyno

Option 3...It won't break my heart if I don't get dyno time.

This post sucks because I just got the Chevy Cruze club to show up.....uugghh.
