I'm looking to get Springs/Spacers installed within next week or so. I'd try my hand it at myself but I don't have the necessary tools (or a wide enough garage) just yet.

I hear a lot of good stuff about Rising Sun but have never been there. (Rising Sun Japanese Auto Service)

I had my exhaust put on at the Lamb's down the road from me and everything else was done by JARblue and friends.

I had my oil changed at Rising Sun, but that was it. I met a fellow Z owner, Justin Pena, and he has a friend that has a shop and could probably do this work for you. I can't speak for the quality of work, but Justin seemed like a stand up guy and takes care of his ride.

I forgot his screen name - mofuzzy?

Colvin Automotive is a good shop. They are kinda pricey, but they'll be able to handle pretty much anything. All of the experiences I've had myself or heard firsthand about with them are very positive or at least ended positively even if something happened to go wrong during the process.

Anyone want to do dinner tonight? I'm open to meet further south too.

I'm down, but I'm not interested in anything close to downtown or too far south. I'd prefer to avoid the Formula One traffic.

That's fine if no one else is interested. The new guy lives nearby too.

I live far south so I am basically holing up at my house for the weekend. Not even going to attempt to go anywhere on 1, 360, or 35. Hell I might not even make it back home from work tonight as those three freeways are my only ways home

Thinking about doing a big Lime Creek/1431 run on December 1st. Would anyone be interested?

Or you could just not follow so close?

What happened?

Also, what's this run about?

A couple of Zs ended up with rock chips I think. They seem to have added gravel to deter us.

The run will start at Lime Creek, go up to 1431 out to Marble Falls, lunch in Marble Falls and then reverse to get back home. It's fun, at least to me anyway.

The run is a lot of fun, But the road has recently been striped and there is a lot of loose gravel/stones especially in the turns. I kept my distance and avoided any rock chips. However, I'd rather avoid the risk. I could possibly meet with you on Sunday perhaps?
