"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."[/QUOTE]

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.

Reading the response to my post its sounds like some may think I was talking bad about National, which it wasn't. TI Racing are the ones I don't care for.

imo national speed is a good shop.

Sounds good! Usually leave around 10/11ish after work, which is too early for bed, so I usually go drive around. Hoping to do so soon.

Sorry, I think I made it confusing. I had called TI racing about installing springs & spacers, and they seemed unsure about some things I asked. So I decided against TI as well.

Hey, just got my baby back from the steering column failure. I'm down to hang out as well. I've got some ideas that maybe some of you more experienced guys could help me make slightly more practical

Says your location is Florida?

The deck meet is at the Triangle Town Center Mall in Raleigh,NC, its every Friday night. Starting around 9pm it last until 12pm which is when the lights shut off on the parking deck. There is actually a good show of Zs there, about 6 or 7 including mine. If you are serious about actually trying to make it out to one of these meets definitely message me and we can cruise in together
