Nice to see more Houston 370's showing up around here :) I haven't tried Hocus Pocus, no. The only performance shops I've been through with my Z (just to use their Dynos though) are Carboy and EngineLogics. Both seemed to have pretty reputable and knowledgeable guys on hand. Carboy is a more laid-back environment, clearly lots of import/JDM connections to order parts, they were a lot of fun to hang out and talk with while cooling down for Dyno runs. The EngineLogics guys run a bit more upscale "professional" looking place, but I was left with the impression that these guys are probably very good at ECU stuff especially (although both shops are likely pretty good at just about anything). Both had lots of project cars around, and the work looked good. I'd go back to either if I needed anything done professionally.

Meeting time, want to try to do first & third week of each month?

tonmed123 05-01-2009 07:36 PM

Count me in!

theDreamer 05-01-2009 10:13 PM

So I would like to setup a meet this next week in Houston for all 370z owners & friends. What I would think to be best is to list your top four areas you would like to meet, maybe something nearby, area you like, whatever, but also in order the best day to meet. In general I was thinking of meeting at 7 or 8 and go till whenever everyone leaves.

If you have a direct suggestion on a specific spot post it, ex. I-10/Beltway 8 in the 59 diner, pappasittos, etc. plaza.

Yeah, we need to revive this idea and get together, especially now that we have more Houston owners on here. I live near I-10/Beltway 8 on the west side, but I'm comfortable driving anywhere. Good excuse to put more miles on the Z :). I'm hoping the gaskets I need to fix up my exhaust will be here early next week and be in by next weekend (and my switch to Motul 300V by then), so about then would be a great time. Assuming I get all that done, I'm gonna be hitting the dyno again next weekend too.

theDreamer 05-02-2009 01:07 PM

So would you guys like to do this during the week or weekend one evening? Say, Wednesday night at 7 on I-10 somewhere?
If we do a bi-monthly meeting we can do it in two locations, the first one on I-10/Beltway and then another one closer to downtown or on the east side completely.

I am in for this.

iceman21_23 05-02-2009 07:01 PM

ive got my commencement ceremony Saturday so that's a no go for me

theDreamer 05-02-2009 07:29 PM

Well I think this for an idea:
~First week of the month, Saturday at 5 or 6PM? Location, I would like to say Memorial City mall but it will be under construction forever but they do have some good open lots in the back.

~Third week of the month, Week day (Wednesday?) at 7PM. Location, it can either be the same place or if people want we can do a second location which is better for others.

I think one place would be best though, and it seems most like Memorial City Mall area and has plenty of space for expansion. Having one day on the weekend and the other during the week I hope works best for those who can only come on the weekends or weekdays.

Sound good?

tonmed123 05-03-2009 12:31 AM

Awsome that sounds perfect for me. By the schedule our first meet would be Wed May13th. It would be a good starting so everyone can scope out the place when its not to busy and solidify our stomping ground. From then on we can post a row call and take it from there. Looks like this can come together nicely. Im in. Post time and place and Im there.:ugh2:

JDM_ED 05-03-2009 02:47 PM

I've had mine for a month now. I'm up for the meet on the 13th. I live in the West part of Houston so Memorial City Mall is perfect for me.

theDreamer 05-03-2009 09:01 PM

May 13
Memorial City mall
7:30 - I am putting this time just as a general time and we can see how everyone shows up, might be able to push it sooner or might have to start later.
Location at the mall, I was thinking the back side parking lots along Barryknoll Ln. The side with the parking garages but not in the garages. Usually those sides are open.

TSterling 05-04-2009 01:48 PM

how about 7 or 8pm.

theDreamer 05-04-2009 01:57 PM

How about 7:30? I should be stopping by Memorial City Mall today for a bit and will try to find a good spot and post up.

TX_370 05-04-2009 03:46 PM

I will try to make it, probably wont be there till a little later if I am able to at all. I have a final after work that Wednesday :crying:

Sounds like a good plan to me.

Ah, cool. I was at UH yesterday and will be there today and saw the same color 370z as my own. Did not get to see the owner, maybe today when I stop by again.

Excellent, I will make a new thread just so everyone knows the set in stone time and location.

gpa7pk 05-14-2009 02:21 PM

I went in to my Nissan dealer to check on the staus of my 370Z order. It has an ETA of July (no date yet). The sales manager told me that he had ordered a twin at the same time. It will be a PG w/ persimmon, tour, sp, 6m
and no nav. It is not sold. Contact Dane Goddard at Douglass Nissan in College Station at 979.764.7762 of dg1781@yahoo.com.

TX_370 05-28-2009 10:10 PM

We should try to rock out a get-to-together this weekend... anyone down? If so, post suggestions!! :tup:

theDreamer 05-28-2009 10:16 PM

Unfortunately I cannot, have a wedding this Sunday and rehearsal I have to be at on Saturday. We do have a meet every other week, suppose to be this week but I failed to make it, so the next one is June 10 (Wednesday).

TX_370 05-28-2009 10:31 PM

+1....we had a great turn out last night in our usual Target/Home Depot meet in Kemah.

There was: GT-R :tup:, 370, and our 3 fiddy's.
A total of 8-9 cars were there from our little clique and the rest were domestics and hot rods.

Cops kicked us out because that meet no longer exist but we found out later that it was moved out to Hooters on 45 :driving:

jasonhoutx 06-07-2009 10:23 PM

had mine for about 3 weeks and I am in Friendswood. non sport - brilliant silver.

I have seen one black sport in Friendswood and a Brilliant Silver on egret bay blvd.

I am laying low until I get my springs installed and wider tires on the rear. Right now it's all sloppy. I am getting spings installed tomorrow and should get my new rubber in the next week. I am waiting on the TPMS adapters.
