Bummer~! Hope to see you guys at a future c&c

lol @ you saying "think".....you were the last to wake up LOL

July 4
 

Anyone doing anthing cool with their car for the 4th? Figured there might be a show out there somewhere.......maybe not

Don't know of any shows, but installing your intake sounds like a good plan :tup:

I'm not even sure if they're doing fireworks this year (typically from a barge Town Lake by Auditorium Shore), but I would sure like to get a good photo of the Z with fireworks in the background sky.

Fireworks are on this year. That's where I'll be, but Z-less.

:tup: I'd like to make it down, but not sure we can with some other things going on in the evening.

Hmm, I should come see what Austin fireworks are like lol! I wouldnt have to wake up real early either :P

Havent had July 4th off in a looooong time either! :icon17:

Just a thought tho :P

:icon18::icon18: on the intake

Probably not as great as Dallas. But we do have a cannon that goes off during. :p

I think it was on par with Dallas & better then the show in SA (been to all three now).

Needless to say fellow Z's...as of 3 days ago I am without the Z till Texas Heatwave. I'm sure the outcome will impress.

Any Z events in the Austin area anytime soon?

The next Cars and Coffee in Leander will be August 5. Hopefully it won't rain this time.

Time to plan something before then. :)
Any ideas?

I wish I had time to go this time. I'll make a future plan. Right now I'm having my car worked on. I'm having warranty paint issues and am jet setting on getting my car redone. In addition, I'll be ordering the Stillen front bumper, getting the door handles body painted, and hopefully a Magnaflow cat-back exhaust. Upgraded oil cooler, and an Uprev tune will max out the performance I'm putting in. I plan on either installing a supercharger or twin turbo after it's paid off.

I should have new tires by then (thats why I didnt go last time). Im procrastinating as long as possible, lol, dont like dropping 10 bills!!

Cool.

If I get lucky and the BRZ I have on order comes in, I might be bringing that instead of my Z. Still keeping the Z, just replacing my Mazda with the BRZ.

So no other Z's are going to Heatwave on the 27th?
Sad day. I know Jenny from Houston will be bringing her Z at least.

Hope you do! Been trying to see what an actual owner thinks about it.

Seems kinda pricey for a participant or even a spectator pass. If I had actually done any mods to my car (other than my antenna switch-over of course ;P) I'd think about it ...

I will be out of town - otherwise I might entertain the Idea

I am excited for you - I am interested to see what it looks like in person (the BRZ).

Anyone doing anything tonight or this weekend? I could use a distraction.

Hey guys, planning on joining you for the next C&C if thats cool..

*Feeler*.. I will be selling a few parts hopefully here in the next week or so. I haven't put this in the for sale thread yet because I'm not really wanting to ship (looking for local sale for central TX) nor do I have specific dates when the items will be ready to go. Just trying to see if any of you would be interested.

I have OEM Nismo struts F&R with Tein springs on them as of now. I'll probably let the struts go for around 400, tein springs 200..

I also have the Oem nismo springs that I'll let go for around 150 and H&R springs, never installed will sale for around 300ish.

Agency Power CBE I'll let go for around 600. I've put about 3k miles on it so far.

Z1 HFC's, never installed have all the hardware and gaskets, looking for around 300-350ish

And as of right now, this is tentative, but I'm looking at getting some Weds Sport wheels so I may let my OEM Nismo wheels go for around 2k. They are powder coated semi-gloss black. I just installed Nitto Invo tires and have less than 1k miles on them, i'll probably let them go for around 700. Thats if I can get these other wheels so like I said, wheels and tires are tentative as of now. The other parts will be available as soon as I install my coilovers and my new Ark exhaust.

Let me know if you are interested. I'll make a proper thread with pics and set prices asap. Thanks guys and gals.

Everyone in hiding this weekend?

Just got home from riding along with the Houston guys. What are you doing tonight Ryan? I'm thinking of going to the random meet at fry's.

Just got home, Z is tucked in for the night :).

I'm gonna grab a couple beers .

We should try and get a meet up for next wkd

Lame. :p

:iagree:

If nothing else Ill go to frys next weekend- ive never been.

Here we are. So ya, it just didn't fit right. It was really strange. I don't know whether the cut was wrong, but when we put it flush to the throttle body it sat way high and crooked slightly (at least compared to mine when I did the install). He posted about it in my intake install thread here

Damn. Ryan, you're just having the worst luck with this car. Trade up to a GTR. :tup:

Does anybody know a reputable shop where I can get a clear bra installed in the Austin area? Thanks

My co-worker got his Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 done at Colvin Automotive on Hancock @ Bull Creek. They will be higher than avg on pricing, I suspect, but you get what you pay for. One of the few shops in town I would trust do any major work on the Z if I needed it.

Anyone want to go to the Heatwave show with me or possibly let me ride with them? I'm down for a one day spectator pass.

Looks like I am out for meetups the next two weeksl; Denver then Detroit....:(

How about this??

My lil' red 350 never gave me any problems; the new girl is high maintenance :)

I'll take that GTR. :drool:

Come and get it.......:eekdance:

Tempting

If only it was that easy huh? Maybe next lifetime for me lol.

This is going to sound completely wrong and racist: But we are Mexican. :p
