Came across these pics tonight. LAZ32 Club had a BBQ at Escort Racing located in Covina a couple of years ago (ie the year it did not rain):spin:

Some Empire Z guys showed up and here are a few pics of the day.

LOL! The next year it rained on us. I'll have to dig some pics of that later. Anyway, turned out to be a great day.

They have other shops in Japan so they are constantly back and forth and this requires them to shut down the shop for a few months from time to time... good thing about that is that bring lots of goodies with them!

Hey, Dustin? Didn't we hear that the NA is/was to be coming to the US? Whatever happend with that?

From a post Ramon made a while back it's already here. On a side note I hopefully get my car back tommorrow. Yay.

I sent it over to my dad's friend's shop and they are doing it for parts cost only. So far $169 not including the seals. Couldn't wait for Greg, but I'll get my car back the same day as I would've with greg, but like 400 bucks cheaper. :yelclap:

$400 bucks cheaper is always good....

Ended up only being $325 cheaper than Specialty Z, but that included spark plugs and all fluids. :yelclap: :thumbsup:

:karate: Well, I'm really looking forward to the next BBQ... that chicken was great! :drool:

My dad di the work so the labor was free. As for the parts part his friend owns a shop and gets oem parts cheap so I really can't help much on that.
