well our cars and coffee group was i think 13 cars and when we got there there were 20 spots accross the street from ALs beef and how ever many were in Al's beef parking lot. The problem is only 4 cars showed up before we rolled in

, all the other spots were taken by regular cars (not involved with ChicagoZ)

They expected the gates to be open (probably another 300 spots), and they weren't so that really hurt the useable space. What also made it worse is no designated area, everybody just parked in an open space. Our group got split up naturally.

And yeah apparently someone did a burn out. Mostly it's people were just ripping it out of there past the cop who was controlling the traffic so we could cross the street back and forth

but I dont want to make it seem all negative. The event was good and I saw lots of different cars/people which was nice. Our premeet cars and coffee group was good; I liked that part.

We had 9 370z
2 wrx sti
300zx
G37 (I think).

Anybody else find it odd that both Soobies that showed up had blown their engines previously? Hmmm, issues with boost + OEM engine internals.

I only knew about one of them. It probably is trying to run more boost on stock engine. Probably wasn't designed for a lot on oem internals. Many factory engines can't take a lot of boost even our Z's I wouldn't push past 500 on stock internals.

I want boost. ****. I'd settle for a STS rear mount lol

I updated the Facebook page with a few more Supercar Saturday Events.

In summary May, July, Sept. Supercar Saturdays will be in Bolingbrook. June and August will be in Bannickborn (Half Day Road and Waukegan Road). Page 1 of this thread will be updated with details today

Also, please feel free to talk about anything on this thread or the facebook page as I want this to be a social group

It would be nice to know what mods people are running and what they plan to do.

Helll yeah! It's going to take me 5 minutes to get to the Bolingbrook meets. I can almost see the Promenade from my house.

I'm sure a lot of our south side guys will like that!

Interesting, Z1motorsports is now selling the FI exhaust. I wonder what the wait time is for it. When I did an experiment order they offer options of next day shipping...

They offer SS and Carbon Fiber with Non res, 12" , or 18" res.

NFSZ86 · 04-25-2012, 12:21 AM

Wow for the same price ???
