Can't wait, nothing like having a whole day among such an array of amazingly fantastic cars plus a bunch of good people to discuss it all with :D

I'm still in. I just got my first coats of Z5 and Z2 on her. She's looking good, but the interior still needs some attention.

I'm at the office, feel free to call. As to the other things you mention...there is no registration...just show up w/$10 in hand. Jeff knows you're coming...he checks the thread

As far as a room there, not sure what you are wanting it for...it's only 45 min away

Seacoast wouldn't do it for you? They did my exhaust, just go to Tim, as for the intake maybe we could have a go at it, although I'm not an expert, RPIRX-8 has one, might PM him and ask how difficult it was, and how long it took.

Does that help? Or call and we can discuss....

I'll go to this, why not! Now you have your Winning Blue

dwill, I can help you install your intake. Do you have a REVi? Maybe we can get something going this weekend. I have brake rotors, pads, rear sway, and speed bleeders to install. Let me know.

Hummm... I'm planning on spending Friday night in Nashua at my apartment... if anyone is in the Nashua area that wants to commute up in the morning, that would be awesome!

And if anybody is comming from a distance... and would like to come up the night before, let me know, I think I've got space for a couple of people to crash.... as long as you don't mind a couch or the floor!

Registration is from 8am-10 / show n' shine from 10-12 / judging (peoples choice) from 12-1pm / awards 2-3pm

This years show promises to top last year. The pre-registrations have been amazing, all across the board. The weather looks perfect- Partly Cloudy temps in the mid-80's.

I'll see you all at the show.

Thanks for your support.

How time flies, I'm slowly (when I have a spare few moments), starting to clean up the beast a bit. Last night I did the inside dash and leather parts. I imagine I'll be going full bore into the evening on Friday with the heavy duty stuff like rugs, outside washing, trunk, etc.

If anyone would like to join me at my house for a clean-fest, talk fest, and general prep for the day ahead - - - you are welcome to come over. Water and soapsuds are free, bring whatever other polish/rags and stuff you want to have a fun time.

PM me if you need directions, tel#, etc, and if you get a chance, just to say hello I'm coming over

Anytime after 6PMish I'm sure I'll be there ... polishing away.... otherwise see you bright and early Saturday.

Looks to be a BEEutiful day for a car fest!! :D thanks everyone for supporting Jeff and the Make-a-Wish campaign.

I might stop by on Friday night. I'll clean it even though I'm not gonna win anything with all the chips on my hood and fenders. At least I'll have all my mods done.

New rotors and Porterfield Pads all around
Front Air Dam
Euro Lip Spoiler
rear flaps
Rear Sway
Noah Car Cover (I'll bring along to show folks).

Dwill, did you get your intake installed? If not, bring some tools tomorrow eve and we can get it done.

Good idea, any last minute mods we can do, just bring them. We should have plenty of tools between us.

How about a turbo ....anyone?

RPIRX-8 ... must be looking pretty fancy yes?

The car is looking very nice. I think I'm done with my exterior/appearance mods. Next on the list, in this order.

Racing Beat Front Sway
Koni Shocks
Rear Rotary Accent (maybe)

I think I really need the shocks, and after that an alignment. The car is starting to track to the right quite a bit, not good. I also think there might be something wrong with my steering. However, the dealer checked it out and said everything was fine. Oh well

WOW! An excellent day! Congrats to our winners... And a big thanks to Jeff Torrey, it was nice meeting you on the way in this morning... wish we had time to chat, but you seemed very busy!

Maybe another time.

I had a blast, hopefully we will have moe 8's turn out next year, and some 7's... not sure why, but I didn't see a single 7!
