Jazz8560 05-16-2011 12:23 AM

Hey buddy I'm a little late but I'm from the valley. You still got your Z?

batman_4 05-16-2011 02:04 AM

from the valley and lived up in san antonio for 3yrs (school) and now living in mexico for the nxt 6yrs (school). my Z for now resides at my parents house in mcallen though, needless to say my dad is enjoying driving it :driving:

i'll be in mcallen in a week or so till the end of july. i go out some thursdays and go meet up with my friend which is in EMC^2 (euro group) at the bath junky parking lot. only 370 there :ugh2:

Boost_lee 05-16-2011 02:26 AM

When you visiting SA bro?
sorry for thread jack

Jazz8560 05-17-2011 01:59 PM

Nice buddy... Well if I see you guys out there can I stop by and chill for a bit? I haven't seen to many 370s around.

USMCram 10-31-2011 11:06 AM

Mcallen here. Theres a guy with a red nismo in edinburg..

LEGA-Z 11-03-2011 10:12 AM

I'm up for it.

USMCram 11-03-2011 01:23 PM

Well I'll be damned, I figured all these guys had left the forums or something.

007MI6 11-03-2011 02:49 PM

lol. The PW's abound in McAllen. :tup:

LEGA-Z 11-03-2011 03:32 PM

I've seen a bunch of 350z's get together at the palm crossing on Ware Rd... Cool place to chill.

USMCram 11-03-2011 06:29 PM

no kidding? when, thats right down the street from work for me.

batman_4 11-03-2011 08:03 PM

i'll be in mcallen for all of december, any time you all would like to meet? i know some of the 350z's that meet up, hung out with them when they all barely started gathering...


anybody seen a PW on coilovers w/invidia exhaust around N. Mcallen driving haha....my pops drives it from time to time so that it is not parked at home too long (currently living in Mexico).

USMCram 11-03-2011 08:34 PM

Yea, actually. It's been a while since I've seen it. Last time was a year ago before I deployed.

Lemers 11-03-2011 08:42 PM

Like totally no

USMCram 11-03-2011 09:16 PM

huh?

atx370z 11-04-2011 12:10 AM

I go to the valley about once a month... Don't usually take the Z, though. The drive from Austin to McAllen owns the front of my car with bugs and rocks.

Actually saw this car today at Cimmaron. Never got around to getting the Z myself but I have a '11 GTI. Nice Z just dont like the stickers on the side skirts or the exhaust (burnt tips) but thats just my opinion. Overall nicely modded! :tiphat:

Lol, dad must have gone to play some golf. About the stickers, i'm actually surprised you noticed them...no one ever does :ugh2:. As for the tips, i'm not a huge fan of the burnt Ti look but since i lowered my car the options for exhausts dropped dramatically. It was either Invidia or Stillen and i personally don't like the stillen look.

Would you happen to know the guys of EMC^2 (euro car club...mainly VWs). One of my close buddies is part of them when he is in the mood lol, drives a blacked out '07 GTI...slammed, literally. Also a silver one on new CCWs (sp?) with a turbo swap etc? Maybe Oscar, i know he lived in sharyland...drives a white (newer model GTI) on black stock rims with a good amount of bolt ons?

Haha sry, lots of questions...just isn't common to see people from the valley that actually seem like enthusiasts as opposed to all those dropped trucks :gtfo2:

:tiphat:

marcelo929 11-04-2011 04:30 PM

Lol ok one by one...

I see the reasoning for the exhaust, I like the fast intentions look, just love the way the exhaust tips have that angle looking at it from the back.

Emc ive heard about them, this guy that works at the ice house parking has a vw and told me about them but never gone to the meets since they're thursdays and i work.

Black gti older model slammed with the wheels seen it before on shary rd couple of times yes. Im actually not too crazy about the whole slamme look but that gti just pulls it off so well i cant deny it lol

Oscar yes i know him not too well but ive talked to him couple times!

Im down for a meet even if i dont have a Z! I researched enough on them to appreciate them :)

LEGA-Z 11-04-2011 06:12 PM

Not sure if they have scheduled meets, but we should get something started... When I saw them I believe it was on a Sunday after noon...

USMCram 11-04-2011 08:53 PM

sounds good to me. Hey how's bert odgens service department. I've got to take care of the paint chipping on the front and rear bumpers. From what I've read here it's a problem with all the recent nismos.

I refuse to use CC. They really screwed up my credit. =/

LEGA-Z 11-04-2011 11:31 PM

I couldn't tell you... But I know that the collision specialists here are great! Their detailing is perfect.

batman_4 11-04-2011 11:52 PM

I purchased my Z in san antonio but it is currently been inspected by Bert Ogden for oil consumption...had a little scare a few months ago. For paint work i have used Toyota's service dept. and they have done amazing work on matching the PW twice :tup:

USMCram 11-05-2011 02:49 AM

How would I take it to a third party if it's supposedly covered by the warranty. At least thats what they told me. I got my car in san marcos

USMCram 11-05-2011 02:51 AM

@lega-z the collision specialist at bert odgen or where?

Oh well my bad, didn't know it was covered under warranty...


Sooo any of you guys down to maybe meet up during December? If so what days work for you all? I know i can get a few VWs and a couple of 335's to hang out as well.

USMCram 11-05-2011 03:15 PM

I'm down. I think my students go on vacation like the second so maybe sometime around or after that.

marcelo929 11-05-2011 09:01 PM

Anytime my schedule is pretty Flexible just let me know!

I will double check which one.. I'll get back to you on that... Later today..

LEGA-Z 11-07-2011 08:42 AM

Same here, pretty flexible schedule...

USMCram 11-07-2011 09:49 AM

@lega-z nevermind. I figured out which ones.

If anyones interested, I found this guy that does clear bras in harlingen. Try to get a price quote right now.

USMCram 11-07-2011 04:22 PM

The dealer that I purchased the car from, in a state up north, threw the clear bra in for free. But they run around $500-$700 more or less... Maybe different here in the valley...

USMCram 11-10-2011 02:29 PM

so, collision specialist, they good with touchups? Had a rock scrape some paint off my hood this morning =(

USMCram 11-11-2011 08:53 AM

*angry face* I drove through a swarm of bugs this morning. I swear, it looks like my bumper is a solid black color. It's ridiculous.

LEGA-Z 11-12-2011 05:08 PM

I know I hate that too haha...

LEGA-Z 11-12-2011 05:12 PM

Hey guys... Anyone pass by 10th at 10PM on Thursdays (near the Lacks and Sonic)? Cruiser Thursdays... I don't ever see any z's out there..

USMCram 11-12-2011 08:17 PM

Not from what I can remember.
