So confusing ....

Welcome again trag! :)

Quick question... I did a google search but had a bit of difficulty finding a reputable Z/Import shop around Austin. A friend mentioned SoulSpeed but it looks like they closed the doors. Maybe I'm missing something. Anyone have any suggestions?

I'm looking to get Springs/Spacers installed within next week or so. I'd try my hand it at myself but I don't have the necessary tools (or a wide enough garage) just yet.

I hear a lot of good stuff about Rising Sun but have never been there. (Rising Sun Japanese Auto Service)

I had my exhaust put on at the Lamb's down the road from me and everything else was done by JARblue and friends. :p

I had my oil changed at Rising Sun, but that was it. I met a fellow Z owner, Justin Pena, and he has a friend that has a shop and could probably do this work for you. I can't speak for the quality of work, but Justin seemed like a stand up guy and takes care of his ride.

I forgot his screen name - mofuzzy?

I'm not holding out much hope for a meetup.

Colvin Automotive is a good shop. They are kinda pricey, but they'll be able to handle pretty much anything. All of the experiences I've had myself or heard firsthand about with them are very positive or at least ended positively even if something happened to go wrong during the process.

Pintsize725 11-16-2012 08:25 AM

Anyone want to do dinner tonight? I'm open to meet further south too.

I'm down, but I'm not interested in anything close to downtown or too far south. I'd prefer to avoid the Formula One traffic.

That's fine if no one else is interested. The new guy lives nearby too. :p

Zaggeron 11-16-2012 12:55 PM

I live far south so I am basically holing up at my house for the weekend. Not even going to attempt to go anywhere on 1, 360, or 35. Hell I might not even make it back home from work tonight as those three freeways are my only ways home :icon14:

Pintsize725 11-19-2012 10:17 AM

Thinking about doing a big Lime Creek/1431 run on December 1st. Would anyone be interested?

Thanks

Or you could just not follow so close? :rolleyes:

trag 11-19-2012 03:01 PM

What happened?

Also, what's this run about?

A couple of Zs ended up with rock chips I think. They seem to have added gravel to deter us.

The run will start at Lime Creek, go up to 1431 out to Marble Falls, lunch in Marble Falls and then reverse to get back home. It's fun, at least to me anyway.

The run is a lot of fun, But the road has recently been striped and there is a lot of loose gravel/stones especially in the turns. I kept my distance and avoided any rock chips. However, I'd rather avoid the risk. I could possibly meet with you on Sunday perhaps?

Meet us at the end of Lime Creek and go out to Marble Falls. You hardly drive it as it is.

NBZ34 11-19-2012 08:50 PM

I may come up for this... Lime creek only.. the ride to MF doesn't really do it for me.

HelloWall 11-19-2012 09:46 PM

What are we talking about here? Would like to get together with other Z guys/gals for a drive. Always looking for a new place to drive/lunch/dinner.

I'm up for meeting everyone as well!

Hey pint, sorry about missing out on the dinner the other day! I thought my friend got us tickets to Lincoln, we actually saw Miami Connection. =O

Anyway, yea... I'm up for whatever.

Pintsize725 11-19-2012 11:45 PM

Well you guys can join in for lime creek on the 1st. The following Sunday is cars and coffee in Leander. :)

Didn't think anyone would be available this week with Thanksgiving going on.

trag 11-19-2012 11:59 PM

I'm from California... (like apparently everyone in Austin) and my family is still out there. I'm just hanging out with friends and such this holiday.

Side Note: Just ordered Swift Springs, 20mm Spacers (all around), and SPC Rear Camber Kit. I need it right now!

(Still need to get tinted).

I might be able to do a LC run on Sat. Agro might change his mind if you show him that run we found just outside Lago Vista :icon17:

I was going to consider just making that road the ending point and then back into town for Lime Creek going south. I think it'd be fun. I can be the scout since I'll granny drive it.

Welcome HelloWall. We'll also be getting together as Austin370Z for the
monthly Cars & Coffee Austin, Sunday, Dec. 2. There will be a post about it as
the time gets closer. Hope you can join us!

Ghost guy checking in................ I can plan for Cars and Coffee, but I doubt I can make the Lime Creek deal (even though that is what I would like to make it to).

We can always go back to LC after Cars and Coffee like last time.

NBZ34 11-21-2012 12:55 PM

uhoh...

Pintsize725 11-21-2012 01:52 PM

For anyone coming out on the 1st, get ready for a new road after Lime Creek. A tiny of of a drive, but worth it. ;)

Zaggeron 11-22-2012 08:20 AM

Happy Thanksgiving! Hope you all have a great day.
