Hey all, So, I am thinking another event this summer since the one Last weekend had a GREAT turnout.
I'll have a route in mind for us to drive after we meet for a burger somewhere (we can do fuddruckers again, or try somewhere else)
What day of the week works best for all? I like Sunday myself.
Pm me with what day of the week and I'll go from there, also any suggestions for a drive would be awesome.

Just finished cleaning the car. It's a bitch to wax when it's dark out. I may try to get there early enough to park inside, depends on how much of a cluster it looks when I get there.

Hello everyone in MN. :cheers
Just had a question on anyone's experience with dealers. Had a compression test done at Polar Mazda and the numbers were at the minimum compression. From searching on this forum, my conclusion is that the engine will probably have to be replaced. Polar recommended that the coils and plugs be replaced. So, I'm waiting on the BHR system right now. Though the system might increase the compression, the engine still has that low compression which might mean the seals are going.
But, just wondering any recommendations of dears to work with? Polar wasn't that bad, but I think I might get some crap for the BHR system with I request for warranty work for the engine. Any thoughts?

A new ignition won't increase your compression at all. Also, don't bring your car into the dealer with the BHR ignition. You never know if the dealer will refuse to cover it under warranty because of that.

Sorry, 2004 MT 83k miles. History as a day driver, never seen winter. All warranty work has been done except for the clutch pedal (thing is still good and checked every time brought in for service).

If you have a lot of cars going to the C&C you will need to get there around 7 so you can all park together.. I was there last weekend with the G35 and 350Z and I had to get up at 5 am then meet up with some cars at Ikea before 6 am. Even at 7 it was getting filled up pretty fast. You may want to call the organizer and let them know you are attending and how many cars..

Yes the cold is gone now I can pick up the pace on my TRI-ME project..
if all goes well I hope to get the mock up done before frost hits. Then rebuild engine during winter and save up for the haltech. I will be unveiling it during one of the spring meet next year.
