Wahoo! Sounds like we're going to have a nice group. I'll be leaving on Friday 4/27/07 in the afternoon & depending on the drive I'll stay either stay that night in Vegas or drive straight through to LA. I say we all meet up on Saturday & do some kind of car meet / eat some food.

 

Well, I would like to go but check out this trip, 2500 miles...don't think it's gonna happen for me

 

yeah and thats a shitty route, i'd fly if i was you it'd be cheaper.

 

damnit, still need a sterring rack for my z...

 

which one, the 3z, or no?

 

i'de love to go.. might need a ride though... i'm not sure if i'll have any cars in california by then or not..

 

im trying badly to come, should be driving the silver bullet down with bleach and entropy, and picking up other zdriver members on the way, hopefully skully will ride shotgun. im able to get the time off, the date sounds good, so now i just gotta make sure the z will make it, and i guess when i hit the boarder i say zee car, so i dont sound out of place!

 

DO IT! I said Zed a couple times in Canadia... mostly so the locals wouldn't know my true identity.

 

ok, might be getting a new/er z32 when the damn money gets here :O

 

Ill be there, btu sadly i dont think the Z is gunna make it this year. She is closing in on 270k on all original **** and i just cant put her through that kind of milage one more time. I'll be there, but either by plane, R6 or dare i say . . . honda? And yes, Darrellbuddy and I both got MSA type 2 airdams for 10 bucks a pop. Just had to stick it in the Z length wise for the 600+ mile journey home with my Xgf sitting co-pilot. Gotta love rumaging through MSA's clearance **** at 6am!

 

The sale is at 6am? Which day? Cuz I gotta be there!

 

X? sad...
ya, 6am Saturday the day before the show. I got the rear bumper for 10 buckarooz!

About this time last year is when I started my engine build. If it wasn't for the stupid truck being stolen I could have had it in the car before my trip. But then again, hopefully I would have found my boost leak quick enough...

So Apollo, are we gonna party in LA like we did before?! that was fun. Lets go clubbin or something too! hehe

Its less than 400 miles! now I drove with that bumper in my car for probably over 1000 miles!

 

see, i want to get some sale shnit, maybe i can find a bunch of shnit for the s30 too, i hope hoov still has that and hasn't junk yarded it....hopefully i can sell a bunch of parts to get that and get to work....back to msa.

 

hmmm... what sort of REALLY good stuff did you guys see at the sale last year? any thing crazy.. like cheap cams? valve springs? heads? intakes? CARBS??? like cool **** like that...

 

no, they mostly have misc body kit pieces like one side skirt for a 280Z 2+2 (crap nobody would buy even in pairs) ...or rear carpet kits without the front half in tan/marron colors... the colors that sell the least. some of these items have a tiny scratch or nick out of them.

I didn't really see a whole lot of mechanical items but I wasn't there at 6am either.

my rear bumper is the 1979-81 style with the passenger side exhaust exit. Less desirable. But I have a plan for that.
they had a ton of misc side skirts all in one huge pile, unmarked. The guys there would suggest what they might go to, but they dont' guarantee anything.

Lots of Z31 stuff since fewer people buy those cars much less upgrade them! lol

 

Now there's something I didn't even think about! I guess I better put in for it just to be on the safe side

 

Yeah, I had to fix mine.... made a mold & re-fiberglassed that right side to match the curve.

 

Yea, the sale has lots of interior and body parts but most of the mechanical **** gets swooped up as soon as it hits the bargaining floor if there is any. Although last year there was quite a bit of headers, and electrical components towards the end of it. Good thing the s130 has yet to catch on at MSA cuz we had a wide aray of **** to choose from and nobody was bitting. Or shoudl i say there wasnt many S130 owners to bite. ****, i got a friggin airdam for diez pesos. I aint trippin.

 

dude, i'm definetly going to have to go early. I want some bumpers, and maybe some s30 parts. i hope hoov, still has that s30? oh hoov.

 

i want a 6 into one header, the only problem is i gotta get it back home, its quite the ways, plus the stupid boarder. i double checked, i can get the time, and brianne is good with me leaving, now the z has to just make it! its at the shop for upgrades and repairs. there is no way im going all that way with bagged rear springs. coilovers for me!

 

damn, someone has money, lol. I think my car will make it, so you all's nice cars should be able to make it. Coilovers huh, how much that costing you? Anyways someone pray for a set of bumpers for me, and some 240 parts!

 

dont worry bout the z man. got the PNW caravan headed down, we'll keep her running. but can those s130's keep up with my pace??

 

its, an n/a yes. You should of said, i wonder if i can keep up with them s130's..lol. So lets have a head count, even if its 4 months away...Anyone in the riverside area thats going to college, i have to go once i get back, i have to.

 

I'll be there...



With a few new surprises.



Rod.

The "show" isn't going to be held at the same location. I think its gotten too large (and the trouble last year probably sealed the deal) .. so the "show" portion is being moved. The latest I heard .. approx 9 miles EAST of the MSA location .. at a park. (I'm told that it ISN'T Irvine Regional Park .. so so far I'm clueless any more details)

Oh ... the link above has a bit more info.
