Coffee goes back to its normal time and place this Sunday

Sunday Morning Cars and Coffee for Car enthusiasts to gather have coffee and a good conversation.
This is a dry weather Event as all seating is outside.
Location:
The measuring Cup Cafe
217 Barrington Ave East Dundee, IL 60118
Time:
8-10:30 am every sunday
that is warm/dry enough to sit outside from spring to fall.


Northwest Shelby club is hosting a HPDE at black hawk, i am thinking of putting a route together and head out and check it out. any interest?most of the route would include the roads from my bbq events. would be nice to see, also while there i can talk to the owner and see what it takes to host a Z day track day for next year.

Yeah! I can't make coffee or the SR ride. I'll be downtown at the Chicago Tri Sunday. I'm going to try and make Twin Peaks:tiphat: Not sure though, I gotta get my morning miles in on the bike. Might be able to make it up there in the afternoon if I don't have too much to do to get ready for Sunday!

I don't know about that!.....but I will admit a serious part of my budget has shifted toward that car vs. buying expensive bicycles/wheel/powermeters/data collection devices/shoes/wetsuits/race entries/etc. etc. etc! :tup:

Thanks, but not really my style. And I'm not getting rid of my 40th rims!! Lol

I just ordered some spacers. We'll see how it looks when they are flush! 😀

osbornsm 08-28-2013 08:34 AM

So Caesar and I installed the Akebono sport-package upgrade on his Z last night.

Install was fairly straight forward barring my own mistakes, like installing the wrong side caliper once. lmao :icon18:

However, the calipers are a beautiful fire orange, not to be confused with the red on a 40th.

The only issue currently is the rear brake shields...
...apparently SOMEONE (me) didn't cut / clear enough space... so Caesar had to drive home with a scraping sound on his new rotors, eek sorry buddy!!

And lastly, a big thank you to Ceasar for sponsoring my car habits ($) was unexpected and very much appreciated!!

~ Sean

p.s. wear rubber gloves when working with brake fluid, my fingers are ruined!!

Nice! Orange like the Brembos on the 350z? I wish Nissan would've kept those on the z34

Do you like them just for the color? Mike the powdercoater has good rates and can get them to be any color.

Nahh, it's somewhere between the red of the 40th and the orange of the 350z brembo.

Yeah for the color. The calipers look better to me as welI. I don't have enough experience with either car to comment on the performance.

If my calipers start to look shoddy ill get them powder coated a different color but for now they're fine.

jlo370z 08-29-2013 08:55 AM
