Big drive going to Baker /Hwy 542. I'm okay with it.

I do have a few alternatives too. 90, 97, 153, 20. Food in Winthrop, 20 to 530, Burn Rd, Menzel Lake Rd, Woods Creek Rd, 203 Preston/90. The idea is how many curves per mile driven.

I'm good with any idea though. Give me a time and place for Saturday morning.

Anyone else good for a long drive on Saturday?

I'll PM contact info tomorrow. Hopefully there will be a few of us.

i agree with curves/mile. anything with a high ratio of that is win in my book.

and wow

90, 97, 153, 20. Food in Winthrop, 20 to 530, Burn Rd, Menzel Lake Rd, Woods Creek Rd, 203 Preston/90

is quite the drive! it may be a bit too much for me

i mapped it out too
from:I-90 E to:Winthrop, WA to:Sauk Valley Rd/WA-530 to:Burn Rd to:Menzel Lake Rd to:Woods Creek Rd to:47.522667,-121.928945 - Google Maps

A good majority of the drive is in Eastern WA. Since we have rain forecasted for tomorrow this may be a good bet. Depending on how things are going/time of day etc... we can either go Hwy 2 from Leavenworth and eliminate the top half, or possibly an out and then back to and from Winthrop?

Let me know the time and meet place. ....Anyone else out there?

Sorry folks.. Can't make it ... UF vs. Tennessee!!!

Go Gators!

Spec Jay · 09-18-2009, 07:38 PM

a in n out affair is better for me

meet up and time anytime/place is fine for me. i dont really know the eastside well so you can set it.
bruce: ill call you on my break.

Nikon FM · 09-18-2009, 08:19 PM

from:I-90 E to:Chumstick Hwy/WA-209 to:Chiwaukum WA to:Leavenworth WA to:Cle Elum WA to:I-90 W - Google Maps FTBi1AIdcgS

A shorter alternative?

Spec Jay · 09-22-2009, 01:10 AM

k october 3 or 4 is looking good weather permiting.
if theres any other people you'd like to invite since were still a small group that'd be cool too.
also theres a drift event at bremerton motorsports park october 3rd. thinking about entering if i can find some rear spares.
AND the 25th and 26th is the final test and tunes for the season so i think i wanna take the 370 down for a pass before it gets mods.

atsnyde · 09-23-2009, 03:58 PM

I'm creeping past 2K miles now. Has anyone found a good place to go for service?

Spec Jay · 09-24-2009, 01:47 AM

my dealer is mod friendly if that helps. tell them you only want jeremy i believe is his name to service your car. hes the gtr tech and does most of the aftermarket installs
oh and 2k? im almost at 1k. gonna change out the oil at 1k with nissan ester and redline engine trans and diff at 3k though the car probally wont see 3k till next year unless i take my road trip

Spec Jay · 11-18-2009, 02:59 PM

Whats everyone been up to?

cars and coffee this weekend anyone?

Spec Jay · 12-23-2009, 03:28 PM

Seattle area is dead.... actually the whole northwest.

My z is supposed to come in next week. I'm planning to install coilovers myself.

If anyone can help me install the coilovers I can return the favor helping you install something. I have tools. This would be a Saturday. Let me know.

Nikon FM · 12-23-2009, 09:15 PM

I'd be glad to assist and get the experience with the install. What color and where are you getting your car?

azn370z · 12-23-2009, 09:44 PM

Brilliant silver from edmonds, the same place I got my last z. I plan to order coilovers as soon as I get my car and it probably will take 2 weeks to receive them. I plan to give myself about 4 hours to do the install but I only need help removing 4 bolts, which should only take 1 hour. You don't have to stay for the entire duration if you like. Thanks

Have you thought of getting an exhaust? I'm thinking of getting the berks, sounds really good and no drone. I think I will add myself to the group buy after someone gives it a good review.

My purchased list so far ....yet to be installed:

GTM oil cooler
Seibon OEM hood
FI resonated test pipes and exhaust with 18" CF resonators.

Mid January I have a couple track friends who are going to assist with the exhaust and oil cooler install. I may get the hood install done this Saturday.

If you wait on the exhaust purchase you'd be able to hear the FI system first hand.
