Im down for whatever- I do think meeting out at saylorville for some pics and to hang would be pretty fun- and im always down for a cruze to chicago- have a blast everytime im there- but yea when the weather warms up in the next month or two we are most defenatly gonna have to meet up- im not sure really of any for sure dates yet but i can work around whatever is best for everyone else- but i know last minute stuff comes up all the time- so i mean whatever dates people have open - we can set something up - maybe rent a shelter- ill go buy some steaks and some brews(or soda) whatever- cruze to the dam and take some pics by the spill way- whatever people want to do
but yea we should try to set something up as far as a cruze to HIN and rent some hotel rooms or something- i know alot of chi-town, KC CL members are gonna be there -

and then for a summer meet we could do the same thing on a smaller scale, maybe meet at a restaraunt or something and eat and then we could all head out to chicago from their, maybe we could get a discounted group rate on hotel rooms and such, theres plenty of time to work on the details, but we should definately get some ***** rolling on this stuff!!!
i should probably work on getin my bumper fixed too... im thinkin jic magic aero's should do the trick...

sounds good to me, once we start getting closer to the right time, we have to get a more specific time frame.
as long as we are talking about repairing our cars. Anyone know of a good salvage yard where I can get some interior parts to piece together this GS400? and a good body shop where I can get my wing taken off my trunk?

yeah ill also be needin a good body shop to fill in one of the exhaust holes in the jic rear bumper, since i plan on goin with a single exit exhaust... im thinkin a semi truck body shop would probably be good for that since they mold fiberglass all the time to repair truck hoods and fairings, which are all made out of fiberglass... plus i used to work in the body shop at housby mack over off ne 14th so i know some of the guys out there. way off topic tho... my bad... back to the meet, pm me with body shop suggestions...

GREAT job getting the ball rolling Ryan!!
Sorry, I've been off the forum for a few days. To all the other folks, I'm out in Davenport with my 94 SC400, so don't forget us east-siders.
I smoke MEAN *** ribs/pork shoulder and worship fine beers, so everything sound cool to me!!!
I recommended something like Iowa City (midway) for our first meet in April, followed by a possible trip to Chicago, but I'm open to travel to DM if need be. I'm halfway, for most, so the QCA could work out as a nice stop over (BBQ, beer and bufoonary) on the way to the Chicago CL meet. Just an idea.
I haven't modded my car too much, but here's a short list of the biggies...
I removed the resonators and stock piping aft of the center cat and replacing them with stainless offset Magnaflow hi-flow mufflers and tips...reasonable mod for a noticeable improvement...and plan on replacing the forward cats and center cat with more Magnaflow hi-flow cats. I just installed my LeatherSeats.com seat replacements and they look pretty sweet! I'm about to install a full Alpine 2.5 DIN touchscreen stereo system in a few weeks, refurbishing my HVAC (I have the address/contact for you to send your blacked out units to Mikado out in San Fran for $195...like new), a new windshield and sunroof trim, then new brakes, shoes and wheels later this year.
Can't wait to meet y'all (sorry, I'm from Atlanta, gotta do it) and compare notes.
BTW, your rides look sweet guys.

Hello all! Another fellow Iowan. I live in Center Point (approx. 15 min North of Cedar Rapids). I just purchase the last parts I needed to start my 5 speed swap. We have a shop and work mainly on 240sx's.
www.SLIDESTYLE.net
Mods I have done so far.........Blitz NurSpec R single exit cat-back exhaust. Just purchased...... ACT 6 Puck clutch, Greddy Titanium Shift ****, Tokico Blues w/ Espiler ASD springs.
Below are a few pictures of my baby, ignore the mismatched wheels. I was working on finding good offsets..........
