MSA show 2006. You goin?

I know it's quite early, but who's "planning" on attending the MSA show next April in Orange, CA?

I know there's prolly 10 z car owners + 20 other people from Utah cruzin down. I'll have to cruze the Bimmer if it's bad weather / z out of comission.

I'll be there assuming I don't have another rear wheel bearing disintegrate on the way up there at 80MPH on the highway in the rain again It really sucked showing up late and in the PT Cruiser last year.

Why would you not enter it? I mean why go all that way and not show it off for what it is? You went this year, you saw some of the flaming turds on display there... Your car is 100 times better than 1/2 the cars that were there. So what if it's not perfect. The first year I went was right after I bought my car. It was still gold with dents and rust spots and stock wheels. I thought it looked like crap so I didn't enter it. Come to find out that mine was great compared to some of the other cars there. Spend the 15 bucks or whatever and show off your hard work.

lol, well the thing is I wont have my Z insured anymore till I have it done. And even then it wont be insured for the months that I dont have any meets or shows that I plan on attending. I dont want to rush the finished product, and with my schedual, I should be able to work on it nights and saturdays until she is done. I am going to MSA regardless, its just a matter of what I will be taking.

It would be nice, but I can't tell you guys right now. It is a little early to tell. I would love to go sometime. And if I did, I would take a week off of work, and take it easy. I would like to go in '06, but don't know what is going on quite yet. Whether or not, I am taking my Z, not sure on that one either. I know he won't be done, to what I want him to be. But if my Z is able enough to make the trip. Then sure I will probably bring him. Now entering him, not to sure on that one either. Of course my interior is almost show quality. But the body, is definately not even close yet. But we will see I guess.

I'm seriously considering it. I figure if I can get enough products on my car it would definitely be worth the 2500 mile cruise to do a little promoting plus actually get to meet some of you guys who make it out too. I've still got a few months to get a lot done so...

Oh and s/c, don't worry, I'll get you the stuff you need to get that car ready I've got to see that thing in person. And you know damn well if you bring it then you're taking me for a ride in that beast

That would be awesome if we could get the Arizona contingent to show up! Wildman and CarlZ could wagon train over here in their Z's. You wouldn't have to take a whole week off though. Maybe just Friday-Monday. From Mesa to Anaheim is about a 6 hour drive maybe... Or less? You could get a cheap motel room for the weekend and bring along some detailing stuff with you. That way, you can take it to a car wash to get rid of the bugs from your drive, then go back to the motel and shine it up really nice Hell, the only day that is really important, is Sunday. That's the day we line 'em up and show 'em off. Drive out Saturday, drive back Sunday night. Saturday stuff is all spread out all over SoCal... Unless you really wanted to attend some of those things, I'd just plan on being here Sunday.

You can do it!!!!

Oh snap, I'll probably go with some friends, possibly drive the Rx7. I know the Zed won't be done for another year or three, so that's out of the Q.

Nismo, you want a travelling buddy? I'll chip in for gas, and whatnot.

I'll be there. Should be in something other than a Honda this time!

The 240 won't be finished, but the 280ZXT should be... Hopefully...

About dang time!

The ZXT should be a show stopper with the millions of years of detail work put in to it. Will you have the other hood done?

Haha! Look who's talkin'!

Nope. It needs a new frame. The plexi is salvagable, but the frame is wrinkled. I'll be pickin' up a new hood and cutting it out to fit the plexi insert.

But that's at the end of the project list as I'll have to make the same modification to the front lip to match my 'normal' hood.

Just more stuff to add to the list. Fortunately, I got my insurance company to insure it for stated value rather than 'market' value! HUGE difference!
