It will be my quarter mile cherry so I am sure ill be worse.

We're all neighbors! Mountains edge and cimarron here. House will be finished in September-October.

Pretty awesome seeing knowing some members live near by

Yeah I'm on Gomer/Ft. Apache. Right on the edge of town - mountain view from my balcony. It's pretty nice.

Yeah maybe, but to honest, I just want to sell them so I can roll the money back into getting the tune-up. I have stock rear struts already, I just need the fronts and I'll be good to go. I heard you can pick them up new for around $115, but I can't find them... :/

You might be able to find a member with a 2013 Z selling their dampers If you are still trying to find the right balance. I think the springs are still the same as the old ones, just slightly firmer dampening. I remember seeing a thread somewhere where someone was able to order them new. Outside of ordering them from a dealer, not sure where to get them. I don't see base suspension stuff very often in the classified section.

It would be pretty late by the time we made it out there, plus I would just be watching. Maybe another time.

Infamous · 05-04-2013, 08:39 AM

Cars and coffee anyone? I just got off work and might stop by.

Too early for me.

Infamous · 05-04-2013, 05:20 PM

I know that sometimes the G and Z club of Nevada attends. The Mini club also attends which is why we would go but my husband works Saturdays.

Dude, me and a group of Zs have been going there every weekend for like the past 2+ years. We get there around 8, we eat, and leave around 10.

Ah okay. Sounds heavy. If I were you I wouldn't have even attempted to go, so props to you.

Yeah all the time. Well, I hang out with a large group of very close friends, some of whom are among the early founding members of the G and Z club, yeah. But I don't really take part in the 'Club' stuff though - I just consider them good friends. The Club also hangs out every wednesday for dinner, usually at some fast food place. I don't usually go to that. Have you caught up with them before?

I've been to about three or four meets. Didn't find them all that friendly or the meets all that fun. Think we're sticking to the mini club for now.
