How did you guys find out about this? I'm in the Falls & would have been there for sure.
It wasn't on Hot Rod Radio's calendar or mentioned in the Great Lakes sub-forum.
Bummer.

Every Tuesday in Mequon there is a show called Brew City Cruise night that usually has a pretty good turn out. They have a theme each night for their "showcase row."

Here is their site for themes. BrewCityCruiseNight

That's weird, never thought I'd see someone from there on here! Grew up half my life there, originally Milwaukee but now South Florida.

I'm from Grafton but my Grandmother lives near the Village Bowl; Its definitely a small world.

Best way is to link up on Facebook. I did a bunch of searching for WI area car shows within facebook events and then started following WCEC

Here's another show coming up..

Facebook is the best way to figure out where shows are and when. Cars & Coffee Lake Mills is usually pretty good too. They host the show the first Sunday of every month at 8am; the first one is the 6th of May.

Rock Lake Motors Cars & Coffee
119 Church St,
Lake Mills, Wisconsin 53551

There are Supercar Saturdays near Chicago once a month as well; this is actually a really nice meet. Usually really nice cars. I would suggest getting an IPass if you dont have one already.

Thanks a bunch.
I do have to say though that I don't use Facebook or ever intend to.
When you guys find this stuff out it would be great to post in the region area though, it's not a really often thread used.

Sharing photos, getting my car tagged in photos, and show info is pretty much all I use Facebook for at this point.

Keeping with the thread, Emailed the place I purchased my wheels from to see if they can help with my center caps. A part of the logo is already gone and id like to get a new one before the entire thing falls off.

Or baby talk for little.

Hey DIB16GT
I live near Village too, right by Pops.

Thanks for the info, I appreciate it.

Oh, I also washed the car now that it's driving weather finally. Unfortunately, it's going into the dealer for a loud whine coming from the passenger side of the engine. Had to take off my aftermarket intake & return the tune to stock.

Thanks Ben,
I will have to check some of these out, especially the Brew City meet. It's approx 1.5 hours away, but they sound like some worthwhile events to go to...

We need to get back on the '40 build. Since we bought the Mustangs it's been on the back burner.

That's awesome Bill.
Do you and your wife do the builds yourselves?

How are the new Brembo's treating you? Thinking about doing the upgrade along with the Z26 pads later this year

Mounted my Pike Pass, mounted my V1 radar detector and shined my tires!

Freaking awesome. Stop like no body's business. I've been intentionally braking late and hard. Great pedal feel, consistent feel, stops well, no fade. I've been really aggressive trying to see if there is any fade or other issues. So far no issues.

I replaced the chrome badges with the black ones. I also took my car in and had the windows tinted 5% all the way around.

Summer wheels are on at last!

rum_punch_ruby · Apr 25, 2018

Put on cf center console, knee bolsters, e-brake handle, and shift knob. Also swapped on rear summer wheels and 20mm spacers with the fronts going on tomorrow.

Blue Moon · Apr 25, 2018

Snow tires and OE rims are off, summer tires and aftermarket rims are back on where they belong. Also swapped out brake rotors for new Baer Eradispeed+ rotors. Between rotors and rims, I just lost 100 pounds of unsprung weight and rotating mass. If it ever stops raining, I'll find out how it feels without all that extra fat.

Also added some cheap chrome-ish bits of trim to the interior cuz I like shiny.

You wouldn't switch sides, you should have one on both sides. The driver's side is the clean air in side. The passenger side is the dirty air out side. With N/A, the intake is almost always under vacuum, so the dirty side is drawing out and the clean side is drawing in. In a boosted application, the intake can actually be pressurized and can push back out the clean side.

Emailed Vinny about adding the passenger side...got this in return.
