Sounds good.. I have a GTI friend as well, but I don't think he will make... I'll check with some other friends...

Then once we are all accounted for... cruise up 10th toward the sonic (buy drinks...whatever) and chill there for a while. (gotta get there kind of early, cause people meet up there as well). Then we cruise up further north towards the stores on Trenton, make a pit stop, and cruise back down. Sounds like a plan? Should we make changes? Any suggestions?

OR we could meet up at the Palm Crossing on Ware rd, and take off from there... They do have security though... But they wont do anything as long as we keep cool and not draw too much attention.;)
OK so does this sound good? Please let me know if you think I should change anything.

El Jale 12-04-2011 02:46 PM
Palms Crossing sounds good. We can have a quick photo shoot then head out, that is, if cops or security don't run us off.
Is the Buffalo Wings & Rings thing still on? I think the cops are cool if we have permission and don't do anything stupid.

LEGA-Z 12-04-2011 03:25 PM
Well yea the Palm Crossing would be a better place to take pictures... Let's meet up there then... I will check out the sonic and ask around what time those guys begin to get there... So we can get there earlier...

batman_4 12-04-2011 03:35 PM
what/where is Palm Crossing??

:facepalm: i knew that :ugh2:

i left mcallen when they had just barely finished building the convention center.

El Jale 12-04-2011 05:54 PM
Joe711, have you ever tried to clay bar the car? When I picked up my car it was covered in sap and still had glue from the transport protection tape... I hit the entire car with clay bar, cleaner wax, then carnauba wax. Now it looks super clean.

Cool I'll add it to our page.:tup:

LEGA-Z 12-04-2011 09:16 PM
Please Read
What do you think about this event... on a Saturday and earlier for those that couldn't make it last time... and a nice evening to show off to the crowds at the Palm Crossing. I am talking with management there to see if they will let us host this event. If they do... Who can make it?


Saturday Stop and Show (Z's and G's Welcome!)
Date: 12/17/11
Location: Palm Crossing (Ware/83)
Time: Around 5:00pm - Sunset
Details: A time to show what you got, stock or not. :tup:

El Jale 12-04-2011 09:26 PM
Nismo Fiesta!! Hell yes! We should get together something like this. Well that is, if our weekly thing takes off, we should totally start an annual Fest.

El Jale 12-04-2011 09:28 PM
Stop & Show sounds awesome. Is there any permit we need to request from the city? Let's try to go legit from the beginning.

I don't think the city needs to be involved it is private property owned and managed by SIMON MALLS. I just need to speak with them and security regarding the small event.. Which I will do tomorrow. :tup:

El Jale 12-04-2011 10:29 PM
It sounds like you know what you're talking about... It always easier to chill and hang out when you don't have someone running you off.

Haha yeah... tell me about it.... I always hang out there with my friends... we chill in the lot and stir up trouble:icon17: lol. and I have a friend that drives a pick up with a straight pipe... and its just stupid loud. So sometimes we just roll in and he revs it to scare people.:rofl2: but we never piss anyone off or get in trouble. ;)

El Jale 12-05-2011 10:29 AM
Good, cold, dense, racing air... I wish I had a twin turbo kit for my Z..

USMCram 12-05-2011 11:22 AM
If I'm down, I'll do it. I might be in SA that weekend. Free tickets to Fiesta Texas...and I'm gonna do a cruise down that twisted sisters route...

How do you like the k&n intake ?

Its awesome... adds like 15HP... It also sounds amazing. You can hear it suck the air in as you accelerate. Its a nice upgrade.. I also have the K&N high flow oil filters, also suppose to add some HP... but probably not a whole lot... But hey, can't complain when it's free!:tup:

El Jale 12-06-2011 02:31 AM
Hey Lega-Z... Is it just me, or does the K&N create lag in accelerating or does it require a tune to work right? I feel like my car lags from a cruise to pass/accelerate.

Well, they are supposed to increase horsepower and acceleration. But I don't see how they would cause noticeable lag. As for a tune, that's what those sensors are for, that connect to the intake. They should be able to detect the temperature and pressure, and overall airflow (but you can always still get a tune). But if something is wrong with those sensors, then I could see how you would have some lag... but it still should not be a big problem. I had those intakes installed right after I got the car, so I didn't ever really get the feel for driving the car without them... So I couldn't really tell you if I felt a difference after the swap. But I do not seem to have any lag whatsoever...

that is any issue with any of the Short-Ram intake kits available for the VQ engine or as a matter of fact with any SRi set-up in lots of cars. Since the intakes are inside the engine bay the will "Heat-soak", hence the "LAG" you feel when you first get on the gas. this topic was talked to death over on the 350Z site with dynos, temp charts etc :icon14: Needless to say i got rid of my Injen Short Ram on my 350z and went another route. For my 370 i went with the K&N drop-ins + Z1 Post MAF tubes, proven to be one of the best intake set-ups behind the Stillen Gen-III, although the Stillen has is drawbacks as well (makes your car run rich as F)
