Yeah that one is nice, would love to take it out once. It's street legal but the one they have in their display area inside is straight up race (weight reduce, TT, whole 9), now that...that one would probably scare me to drive on public roads. I'd like to be in it on the track though.

That said I went there to get baseline dyno done and while I waited for a previous customer to get done with his session the manager took me to their garage area to show me all the projects they are working on; they got a sweet GTR back there that looks divine. To me their real world deeds that I could see and touch mean loads more than what I read online. I was questioning my decision before but now I think they are an alright group of people.

Just the projects they have on hand and what they are doing with them is enough to impress. I haven't gotten them to do anything for me mechanically yet but when I do I'll let you know how the experience is. I have NST's on the way and being that I could and have done drive pulleys before and don't really want to hassle with it again so I may get them to do it.

I don't really use Facebook but if you set something up post it here or send me a PM on the board, depending on the day I may show up. Always nice to meet fellow car guys/gals.

No problem at all, I genuinely hate to talk down about a shop because I know how hard it is to drum up customers, especially for a newer shop, but the experience I had with them...I mean the wheels could fall off my car in front of their shop and STILL wouldn't let them touch it. But that's just me.

It truly must have been a bad experience... When I talked to them on the phone, I felt a bit like I was speaking Greek too. I'm with you on talking down places... I'd just rather not go to National myself. I would let them put my wheels back on if they fell off at there shop... LOL
As it turns out, a friend of mine that's the head mechanic at a local dealer, is going to install my springs and spacers. Then align me a couple weeks later. I feel very comfortable with him working on my car. His car is pretty tricked out. And very nicely done.
When are we all gonna meet up? Any of you interested in track days? I plan on doing some in the spring after I get a few more things done to the Z.

I really need to bring the z out from sc. Been trying to get some Spearfishing in before it gets too cold.
