spring kc meet (dust off the Z's!)

fortunately we only live once!

Yeah but the money keeps going out....on top of that it's 2012 so we've only got 11 months to go before the world ends.
I think what I had going on now isn't going to happen. I don't think I'm willing to drop another $3500 on my car this year. 15k in less than a year is enough,even though I would love to...just can't do it anymore.

erkthejerk73

3500 for what?

tower74

If I can't pick up the cash in a timely matter then I can say but I was asked not to say anything about it. Sooooo I got to be quite about it until it falls completely through. I doubt I can get that kinda of cash in the next month. Already got to come up with $2650 by the end of the month. Gotta check to see if money company will spot me the cash or at least half of it.

erkthejerk73

thats no fun to throw it out there and then keep it a secret.

tower74

just so happens a few days ago he had asked me not to say anything. Really its not like we're trying to reinvent the system but he asked me to not say anything so I've got to respect his wishes. For now.

erkthejerk73

so should i wait a bit to see if this is something i would want?

tower74

The more I think about it the less of a "secret " it really is. I was going to send my car into them to STS and have them look at my system and redesign it if it needed it. Since I have the only know at7 370 I thought it would save them some time in development if I sent mine into them. With the transportation costs and etc it's gonna be almost to much to handle right now.

i have a 6mt so i shouldnt worry about it i see, whats with you all getting auto Z's? lol

tower74

They are actually faster than the manuals...it also has a "manual" side with paddle shifting

edub370

haha i love me some 6mt, but will agree that about every mag has the 7at quicker to 60mph

Yep. The only reason for manuals anymore is the feel of shifting the car. There is a reason the super cars are primarily autos now.

Just as an FYI for everyone. seems like this meet has grown a lot. so to ensure that we dont outgrow our locations or have issues with dyno times i think it may be better if we keep all invites from this point on to z's and subies. anyone invited up until this point is good to come tho, no matter what the make and mdoel.

i kno it may sound harsh, but we gotta make sure that z and subie guys have priority on dyno day festivites

also, since we are about a month out we should maybe get a dyno priority list for the z's. theres a few ways we could do it:

- first come first serve (meh)
- keep list formatted as is and just issue time slots accordingly(not a terrible idea)
- doesnt matter too much, we'll go when we go (my favorite)

i think we will be alternating z, subie, z subie, on the dyno.


possible z's to dyno

i personally dont car who goes first, second or last. i'm just gonna "fit in where i get in" on the dyno list. figure if we are all good with just going whenever then we can just let the subie guys know, and just kinda alternate back and forth.

however, if anyone is REALLY wanting to roll please speak up and i can get a priority list goin.

The way it looks right now tho, everyone that wants to dyno will get a chance to dyno
