CC QUIK 07-19-2013 01:21 PM

it's a very early morning crowd, LOL.

pfdaxe 07-19-2013 01:48 PM

Spoke with wife and it looks like we'll head up Friday afternoon and stay 2 nights. Do a lot of people show up and how many Z's? Doesn't anyone have a weekend night meet? Here in Phoenix (Scottsdale), dozens meet every Saturday night.

CC QUIK 07-19-2013 03:22 PM

it depends, some turnouts are good others are light. vegas being a 24 hr town a lot of guys work different shifts. there's also a group of Z's that meet every wed. nite at different locations around vegas. go to 350zen.org for more info.

Tazicon 07-23-2013 05:31 PM

Whats the price on the intakes?


I was at Cars and Coffee this past weekend and there was only one Z there. Didn't see the owner. I go everyweekend I can and do not see Z's there any more, well there was one vert but that was it.

We'll stop by on August 17th to see what's there. Hopefully we'll see a few forum members. If not, keep an eye out for us :happydance:

Thats moving depending on what part of Phoenix. The times I made it in 4 hours I had just reached HWY 60 and loop 303 in 4 hours from Henderson late at night (not much traffic). I drive it a lot for work but I do it in a Jeep. Normally I will take a stop along the way, Starbucks in Kingman, Starbucks in Wickenberg, Starbucks in Sun City etc............Then it takes me a lot longer than 4 hours.

Thats one way you can spot me at C&C, look for a 40 something with a Starbucks cup in his hand.

SS_Firehawk 07-23-2013 05:53 PM

Intakes sold last weekend. Just have the windshield washer reservoir lol

I did get my oil cooler back though. Person who purchased it decided not to keep so I refunded. That and sparkplugs are the only thing I have to sell when I get home. GTM is pressure testing and cleaning it for me as well to make sure it's G2G.

I may have to sell my exhaust if it doesn't perform at 500+whp levels. But I'd rather know for sure before going through the process of buying a new one and selling my existing one. Selling is a PITA

Yeah....we're in far NW Phoenix, and I usually cruise around 80 most of the way. Stretch the legs in Kingman and keep on going...

Hotrodz 07-23-2013 08:37 PM

Yup, that sound about right. I can make it to that part of town in about 2.5 hours so you can make Vegas in four if you don't stop and still have time to spare. The only slow down is Boulder City, its a pain in the butt (speed trap city).

Anyway, I'm heading up this Friday and staying through Tuesday. Six rounds of golf in five days!

'Cause it's so damn hot out. :shakes head:

Tazicon 07-31-2013 04:45 PM

I have been working down in Phoenix for the last 5 days. I ended up having to leave Saturday morning and head down. 4-1/2 hours to my motel by the airport and I was pretty much just cruzing with no stops except one quickie for gas. Stupid Jeep can't go the whole way on one tank!

SS_Firehawk 07-31-2013 05:29 PM

I'll be back home in a few weeks :) And I will have my car back :P

What are you doin' 'round these parts?

Tazicon 08-01-2013 12:05 PM

I work with communications sites for an Engineering firm. I travel all over the Western US.

JENZ 08-01-2013 01:23 PM

Thinking about heading to check out Mesa sometime soon. Some job openings I am considering are down there.

:tup:

A lot of the Z ppl live out in that area/side of town. I'm far, far West side.

It's far from downtown too (Mesa that is).

SS_Firehawk 08-01-2013 03:29 PM

Anyone going to the Fontana event on the Sept. 18th? I'll be going. I also wouldn't mind doing some of the track events, but never done it. Not sure if a good idea to just go out there n wing it lol.

Hey man, yeah a whole group of us are cruising out on Sunday and doing the track day. I'm cruising but no track for me. I don't know what the arrangements are yet but we've done it every year for a few years now.

I remember Chris talking about this. Don't think we're able to go though. Used up all our time off for Canada.

Tazicon 08-09-2013 10:33 AM

Is anyone going out to Cars and Coffee tomorrow? I will probably go out there but I doubt I will be there much before 9am.

Yeah me and my regular guys will be there, but we typically get there by around 8am and will be eating/almost done eating by 9. But stop by the Griddle and say hi anyway :)

pfdaxe 08-10-2013 12:38 PM

Let us know if anyone will be there next weekend. :tiphat:

That's too bad. We head back on Sunday. Still debating on heading to meet or sleepin' in a bit on Saturday ;)

Super Tanooki 08-13-2013 07:48 PM

Yellow Z, black hood, full of stickers and a plate surround that reads "I'd rather be drifting". Any idea who it belongs to? Looks nice. I'm looking at it parked outside Vons :)

Had a great time in Vegas. Great hotel & food and spent the anniversary poolside followed by a nice dinner & a show. It was good to meet Conrad (thanks for the hospitality) and see some other nice rides. Made it back to Phx yesterday afternoon and already planning our next trip back :tiphat:

Hey Paul,
It was nice meeting you & your wife. Glad you guys had a great time here
in Vegas.
Give me a heads up the next time you come to town and we'll all get together for dinner.
Conrad
