Frank:
The more the merrier....
We will be meeting at 6:50am and leaving sharp at 7am. CnC fills up QUICK ! I suspect this weekend will be nuts since its the first nice one since last year.
We meet in the parking lot of a small strip center on the South West Corner of 190, and Jupiter Rd. The Silver Fox Steak House is part of the parking lot we meet at.
Go to :
http://maps.google.com/
Search for "Silver Fox Steakhouse, Richardson, TX"
Zoom in and click on "Satellite" in the top right. You will be able to see the parking lot.
There is a SHELL gas station on the corner. Do not pull into the gas station.
The parking lot is BEHIND the SHELL gas station.
Looking forward to meeting some new folks !
I'll be in the Silver 04 Z06 (see pic below).
Mark... (aka Toque)

I really wanted to go to CNC this weekend and had plans to do so but.......... I was driving to work Wednesday morning and air tube flange broke off the header pipe on the driver's side, leaving a nice ¼” hole. I called LGM and was told that they don't install their headers with the flange left on because it will break off due to the close proximity to the head and the vibration of the engine. I was told that when they install their headers, they cut the tube off and weld a nickel sized cap over the hole. Well, given that I bought the Pro Long Tube headers from LGM and they installed them without cutting off the tubes (both sides were left on), don't you think that they would correct their error without charging me? Not the case so far; more to come?

I'm on call again this Saturday.. So I may very well be working... If not I will see you guys at the meet spot before 7:00... I just had my new valve springs and seals installed.. I can't wait to pull the valve covers off at Cars and Coffee to show everyone my matching Blue Springs.. The old yellow ones did not Match my Electron Blue
By the way I had Quality Motorsports in Lewisville do the spring and seal install.. $220 out the door for Labor. They had 2 guys working on it.. It took them 1 hour to complete the job, while I waited... Two Thumbs up for Quality motorsports

Keep us posted. That sounds like BS.

The ones in the below pic right at the flange where it connects to the motor. One on each side.

That's weird.... If you talking about the little metal air tubes that connect to the header right at the motor flange..... then I have mine on too. I also have LG Pro's and have had them for 6 yrs now. If they cap them off what do they do for the air lines that connect there ? I thought you had to have that for emissions ...

, in order to catch up to the rest of the group.. Any how we got there about 4 minutes ahead of the back of our little convoy.. I just got home from work and have to go back in at 11:00am.. Hope you guys have fun.. Catch yall next time Actually I think we were going just a few mph over 72mph.. You will have to ask Toque.. I think the metric button was pushed in,reading Kilometers instead of Miles per Hour.. Yes,,, thats it.. I'm sure!

This is what I used on the "grounds" beneath the battery box(and all others I could see on my C6 !
Corrosion X Corrosion Technologies Corp Dallas TX another good one is Fluid film Eureka Chemical Chemical Company San Francisco Calif.
C&C, the blue Mustang ahead of me was collecting his "Green Stamps" when we passed them. I suspect there may be a "spotter" at work He didn't "squeak much" ????. may have been the serpentine belt making noise !! ??? he he. Office hotties are welcome to sit on my hood !!!!!
Be safe Happy cruising

Awesome day for cruising ! I really got my foot in mine today for sure. Sometimes I like to roll in 2nd gear at 4K-5k rpm just to hear the sound... .
I can't have any carbon build up in there. (Andrew)
I picked up my son at my wifes charity event today after CnC. After I left a guy showed up in his new Ford Raptor truck and proceeded to tell my wife how much faster his truck is than my Z06.
My wife told him he full of it...
