So jealous. I'm in the middle of my estimated shipping window. I know it's worth the wait, but I'm going insane with anticipation.

Mine was shipped on last day of shipping window FYI, but I agree well worth it.

Are you installing it yourself?

The Dimer 04-09-2012 10:08 AM

Yeah, one of my buddies and I are going to do it.

:tup: I did it by myself with no power or air tools using jackstands so it's doable :happydance:

ZMan8 04-09-2012 10:11 AM

I wonder if you might be able to have it ready for the 22nd.

The Dimer 04-09-2012 12:00 PM

My shipping window is the 3rd thru the 17th, so maybe. I'll probably put it on the day I get it.

it takes about 4 days to ship to Chicago so hopefully you have it on by the 22nd :driving: Not only will we have an epic 370z roll in, 80% of us will have a FI CBE :happydance:

Holy crap!! I completely missed this one!! I have not been on in a while due to going through the FAA hiring process for air traffic control. It has been a crazy month!! Count me in for the next one though. :tup:

Side note. If anyone has a spare that they would be willing to part with for a week or 2 while I get my wheels powder coated, that would be cool. I would hate to do them 1 at a time. At least 2 at a time makes the process go faster. My every day car died like 3 days before I picked up the Z in February, so this my only ride at the moment. If you can help, just shoot me a PM. Thanks!!

On the subject of the 22nd, I'm thinkinf for us to have our cars and coffee 10-20 minutes from the ChicagoZ season opener location (park ridge) so that we can have a mini cruize going there. What you guys think? There is a starbucks 1 mile from the location also. Let me know so I can finalize a spot and post it up along with directions.

ClrdFrTakeOff 04-11-2012 06:41 PM

Either way works for me.

Ni55anPat 04-12-2012 12:12 AM

Can't wait for the 22nd

:tup: well come out to one of our other events. We will be having a cars and coffee every couple week through out spring, summer and fall.



We shall also be having a 370z starved rock cruise :stirthepot: :happydance:

One_Quick_Z 04-13-2012 04:28 PM

Cool it wont be so crowded like the other cruises that I have helped with and gone on in the past with ChiZ/JDM Chi. Plus I only live 25min away from Starved Rock :)

DAN

That's the point, by limiting it to mostly 370z we can keep the numbers in check (and the unwanted attention). Easier to plan, easier to stay together.

If you don't mind I will come to you for planning because we need to make sure the roads we take are low car friendly, no construction, no pebbles/potholes

One_Quick_Z 04-14-2012 03:51 AM

sounds good!

As promised, here is the location for next weekend. It was tough finding a spot with good parking so I did my best. We will have a short 10 min 3.0 miles cruise to the ChicagoZ location from this Starbucks.

If anybody has objections or thinks this location is bad, please let me know. :)

I will post a map shortly and highlight where our first spot is and where to go if there isn't enough parking for all of us. It seems there are enough spots by the potbellies next door to starbucks (shouldn't be packed at 10 am). If there are not enough then we will go accross the street by the target (plenty spots there)

Location:
Starbucks
2655 Mannheim Rd
Des Plaines, IL

Time: 10 AM-11 AM
11 Am we will leave for ChicagoZ meet as a group.

Weather: Partly Cloudy, 55 degrees.

Here is a map view. The red circle is the primary location. If it happens to be full, then the green circle is our back up.

I updated post 153 and the first page with a map for the 22nd. Mannheim road in that location is scheduled for construction starting in May. Hopefully this does not mean the road is in too bad of shape. Can anybody provide input if you have travelled there recently.
