On a side note, found some scratches on my fender the other day caused by my car cover...:shakes head:

nothing i couldnt buff out, but the car cover is staying off until winter now

ya lets talk about that. im washing my car daily due to this pollen outbreak.


gotta start cleaning my engine bay for fast fridays too now.

Is there a Fast Friday gathering this weekend? I'm heading back for the weekend and might be able to make it on Friday..depends what the weather down here in Arkkancrack wants to do

hell yea. first one is friday. im gonna see if we can throw a small list together of people that wanna meet at buffalo wildwings a little before ff so we can roll in together

Let me know a time... I think I'll be back on friday around 6-7pm

Prefect. fast fridays runs from 7-10, I can add u on the lost for now. Check the "hey kc guys, look whats back" page for details

Im here in Johnson county! ready when you are!

hmmm soo what have we never done that people usually do with cars... hmmm... i know! a cruise!

who's down for this idea?

thinkin maybe we should throw ideas out of date/location to see if we can comeup with something that everyone could attend. anyone got some ideas of some nice windy roads around here that would be fun??

Hmmmm. I have to check a map on that one. The best ones are in southern Missouri.

ya im down.

location and/or route is key. i've been thinking bout it too since you mentioned it before.

Depends on dates

lets start with what dates would be good for everyone. something towards june or what?

ya ima be pretty busy in May with zdayz being in the middle of the month.

down with june tho.

Thats kinda what i figured with most of the z events takin place in may. branzon z fest is at the end of may too

Well if its a date I'll need alot beer.:hello:

That can be arranged.

:bowrofl::bowrofl::roflpuke2::roflpuke2::wtf2:

Just future stuff for planning....Saturdays are bad for me unless I can get off work....June 3rd I'll be at the royals game with my family. Tower....you better make that hard liquor instead of beer....

we can shoot for a sunday. thats fine with me. i was thnking like mid jun. it would almost be cool to cruise to somewhere mid state and meet with the stl guys

:ugh2: :gtfo2:

ya heart of america z club does this, they call it the winery cruise, they meet up the gateway z club midway at different winery each year

hmm... maybe hazcc would like to join.

(says the guy who still has yet to turn in his completed hazcc registration thats sitting on his table) :facepalm:

i need to get on that..

Yes, we do that with Gateway usually in September and we alternate years hosting. Past locations have been at Hermann (which is kinda far from KC and kinda too close for St. Louis) across the river from Jefferson City (kinda in the middle for both) and, my favorite, Rocheport which is a few miles west of Columbia (closer to KC than St. Louis).

any1 watch the Anthony Bourdain kansas city episode last night?

maybe we should start bbq meets? tour our cities various spots

hey im down with that. i didnt catch it, where all did he go

lets see, roesdale bbq, strouds, woodyard bbq, cigar box, town topic, okie joes, the savoy, bb's bbq, lc's bbq, went to chiefs game and kicked it with the black keys (dan & patrick)

welp, the dyno tune at mkc today only yielded 293whp with 244tq.... lower than i expected. couldn't tell u the gains because by the time i got there chad was already tuning...

BUT throttle response is improved by about 10000000000x. that stupid electronic throttle lag is gone, and the bottom end is much more responsive now

how much is he charging for a tune/ which product?

what kind of dyno?

arent you going FI?

used uprev and chad charges about $350 for a couple hour dyno tune


hey used a dynojet

and i am... someday. i figured until that point i could help the cars driveability out a little bit.

dang thats not bad at all, i'll have to get on that asap. i was kinda waiting til i got all my bolt-ons on before i adjusted it

Ya i would. but thats after i bought the uprev cable. unfortunately there is no open source tuning options for z's

May 4th-5th mine will be at Chad's shop. Called today and told me he was booked until then. So yet another week of " I want this shyt fixed finally" attitude. Now to just to save to get the kit installed before Z-fest.

he should be able to get u going in the right direction with those tuning issues for sure.

At least you have a date. Light at the end of the tunnel hopefully.


Nice gains EDUB...much better than what I got. I'll probably wait until FI though as the canned tune helped smooth my throttle out.

Hello Kansas City Z guys! I'm new in town and a fellow Z owner. Glad to see i'm not alone in this fair city.

Anyone know where I can find more info on Fast Fridays? I did some Googleing but came up empty.

Also looking for a recommendation of a good local detailer who can buff out swirls/micro scratches. (too lazy to do it myself)

welcome....i be 350 owner but these guys let me tag along........

this is our fast fridays thread....fast fridays

other than that check their facebook page.

not sure many of us are going tonight... speak up if you are.....

ya i knew that, didnt know what product he was supporting tho.

i wont be attending ff tonight. next time for sure tho

I missed another one. With my daughter getting her college basketball stuff setup, getting her high school graduation setup, son's tennis, youngest daughter tennis & basketball, and the wife and I working OT there is not enough free time for the car events right now.

Welcome to the area. Let us know if you have any questions. I live one city south of you and work in Olathe.

Thinking of using my Nismo's for end of fall, winter and beginning of spring with full winter tires and then going to a summer wheel/tire for the rest of the year. Below is one of the wheels in the running. Honest thought?
