im down, as long as my car is running and it not a crazy long trip. it would be cool to meet up with you in person, compare swaps, and wiring info.

[Defgeph]

if you plan it, I will come. I'd like to see to swapped celi's

DEF

[Consynx]

south western...as in SOUTH PARK? awesome

[macavely]

have it on a saturday morning afternnon.. and i'll roll down there aslong as my car is not in the shop again ..

[Consynx]

err, i work Sat 12-12
my work schedule is uniform and really short now:
Mon: 9-5
Fri: 11-3
Sat: 12-12
Sun: 4-12

[moltar]

I'll drive up from Cincinnati if you get enough people, it's about 2 1/2 hours for me.

[TTE]

I'm down for it too

[OrbitalGT95]

hahahah south park.........im down..lets get together..south park..tehehe

[DG_Performance]

Hummmm....... I never thought about south park. That is a great idea cause it has such huge parking lots and a ton of room to hang out!
Good thinking Consynx!!!
The fact that is is only an hour from me is a bonus too HAHA
But seriously that is a good spot.
Ok, so now we have a good place for the meet we just need people!!!!
It would most likely be "a friday evening,saturday all day, or sunday morning " depending on the other peoples schedules and availiability.

i am hoping for more than just 6 celica's that we got now........
come on you other people!!!!!!
go to this if you are within a few hours,,,,, celicas get good gas mileage haha
dg

[OrbitalGT95]

im 10min away from south park..so if ur serious im deff down..however i go there alot..and for the most part it's a bunch of jerk..never seen anoterh 6gen down there though..im def down letf say fri the 23 or sat the 24 around 8pm...???? anyone like that idea?

[StarGirl97]

I will be there no matter what! I'm about an hour or so away and time weekend coming up and anytime is good for me. Just let me know where and when. This will be awesome if we can get a bunch of people to come!

[lagos]

i can do sunday for sure, and saturday if i have enough notice.

anyone go an address and zip for it, so i can see how long of a drive it would be.

[DG_Performance]

as a general idea i know south park is only like 15-20 minutes from pittsburgh
i am not sure of the zip code there?
the meet would be during the day and not from like 8-9 at night cause some people have to drive pretty far to get home after and if the meet does not start till 8pm that will just not work out for the people traveling!
it would not be a good idea to have a night meet ....and it is not fair to those who are coming from hours away.
i would set a date but i want everyone to get a chance to post which weekend would be best.
orbitalgt95.... you said for a meet on 23-24 this month
are all you other guys ok with that?
if not we can make it for early next month?????
dg

[StarGirl97]

Thats a good weekend for me. Saturday would probably be a better day for me.

[NYCelica]

I might go ....ahem...this time.

[lagos]

[DG_Performance]

hey lagos are you going to be ready by then?
it is possible for you to make it if you get a move on it!!!

[lagos]

well my plan is to have the car running by this sunday, but i dont know how it will run, and if it will be in good shape for a long trip.

[moltar]

As long as I know a few days in advance so I can ask for the day off I'm down.

[Defgeph]

saturday or sunday @ anytime I'm in

[DG_Performance]

It is looking pretty good for saturday the 24 of this month! I guess we are going to go ahead and go with that date if everyone is cool with that
Anyone got any other ideas for the meet???
I am bringin a dig camera and maybe a vid camera!!!
what else could we do to make this meet lots of fun?
ok , so far does anyone have to drive more that 3 hours to get there?

[TRDCelicaST]

Count me in! I've been away from the site for a while but Saturday the 24th would be perfect. South Park is like 10 minutes from my house.

[Defgeph]

let get some address up so I can see how far of a drive this is. I need to plan ahead for this, prolly like a 6 hour drive for thw few in northern jersey

thanks
Def

[lagos]

yeh if its that far then i dont think ill be able to go.

now that i think about it, even if i get my car running, i wont have my fmic fully setup and i dont think it would be a good idea to take a long trip on the tmic.

[StarGirl97]

The 24th is a good day for me. Im only about an hour away from Sourth Park.

[DG_Performance]

I am not sure of the exact address for south park, but i know that this address is for South Hills Village Mall that is 5 minutes away from south park!
700 Fort Couch Rd South Hills, PA 15241

I noticed a few of you guys said that you dont live far from south park at all. Does anyone still go there on the weekends to just hang out and talk? Back when i was in high school that was the place to be, but i dont know about now cause i have not been there in so long.

[DG_Performance]

Would you guys want to move the date up to the 17th? That is this weekend comming up!! Since Legos is not going to be able to make it anyway since he said that his car would not be ready for that kind of trip yet we really have no reason to wait 2 weeks.
If everyone is still cool with that let me know cause i am going to be getting a new job in Florida very soon and if the position opens earlier than expected i have no choice but to up and move early.
I would really like to meet all you be i take off to the south and not get the chance.
so tell me what do you guys think about moving the date?
thanks,
dg

[1bwilson]

I like the idea of a meet. I hope we can set up another in about a month or so when I and legos are up and running. I go next week but my car is just going to hit the shop tuesday and my birthday if thursday, Im not going to have the time for this meet.

DG, dont forget you and I have that grudge match to do .

[TRDCelicaST]

The 17th should probably be good for me...I'm in Florida right now, I'll have to check when I get home to be sure.

[playr158]

i'd say stick with the 24th....more time for planning and lagos to finish....supposably he's turning the key today....then hopefully read by then....and i'll try and come i'll have to drive the longest since i'm down in VA/DC

[Consynx]

i can't make Sat's but Fridays i can
and the 23rd or whatnot works...then im gone 27th-1st, then back again...and same old schedule
err, it's kewl...i wont make this one
most people work Mon-Fri
i work more like Thurs - Mon

uh, if there's antoher one it should be on a Tues, Wed or Fri

[DG_Performance]

Stargirl just let me in on something..... i think you guys will like it!
I am going to let her post it on here since it was her idea.
Look for her reply and let us know what you guys think
DG

[StarGirl97]

On the 17th there is an event going on called the Flash Light Drags about an hour from South Park from 6-10. Its at an airport and you can race an 1/6 of a mile against pretty much any kind of car that is there. Its a lot of fun. We could have the meet at Sourth Park in the afternoon and then come up here for the night. Let me know what you guys think. Here is the site with more info: Flash Light Drags

This post has been edited by StarGirl97: Jul 11, 2004 - 5:00 PM

[OrbitalGT95]

the flashlight drags are at zelinople airport, i've been meaning to go out there..but the 17 is also sideways salvation series at beaver run sponser by dgtrials.com..my buddy is drifting his 95 240 there and i can't miss it..pluse that whole weekend it messed up for me...so if we could still have it on the 24 that would be soooo sweet cause i've already told a bunch of peps about it and my car and 2 others are already full with peps ready to see some sexy 6 gens....

[DG_Performance]

Well i am cool with going to south park for both dates to meet!
not everyone will want to do this but i am up for it !
even if only a few of you guys want to go meet on the 17 that are in the area that want to go to the drag strip with us we can do that too!!!!!
we can still have a bigger meet the next weekend of the 24th if that is cool?
how does that sound

so overall... there is a meet now on the 17th at SP for us local people (and any others that want to come) that want to go to the drag races!!!

..... and the bigger meet the week after (on the 24th) same location at SP who dont want to come for the 17th to go to the drag strip races!!!

[StarGirl97]

That works for me. DG just let me know where we are meeting in South Park since im not to familure wit the area.

[Consynx]

search for VIP
you guys can all meet there...
it has a big parking lot

if it's hard to find i think it's correctly called VIP Racing / Grand Prix

sorry i cannot make it
12-5 at Day Toyota and 5-12 at Primanti's
both on rt 51

[droptopGT]

im down, where exactly in PA would this meet take place though??

[DG_Performance]

Vip Parking lot in south park.... is the meet location as of now.
but we can have it at south hills village mall (if we cant get an exact address for vip parking lot)
the mall is right off of RT 19 and you cant miss it!!!!
if you do a yahoo map it looks like a 15 minute ride from the liberty tunnels at pittsburgh.
what do you guys want to do ???
let us know,
dg

[TRDCelicaST]

South Park would probably be better because the mall security at the Village, but I'm down for whatever.

[lagos]

DG, how about u and me have a meet....in my garage, with my car on jackstands, if you know what i mean ....lol

[rob7796]

I'll be there on the 24th. The 16th and 17th is a carlise import show in Norwalk, Ohio, so I'll be in Ohio that weekend. What time do you plan to meet?

[Consynx]

i am trying to get out of my 2nd job for Saturday...please make it run past 5 just incase...

[Consynx]

btw, you guys are so lazy

South Park Vip
30 Corrigan Drive
Bethel Park, PA 15102-3714
Phone: (412) 833-9711

use mapquest i can't do that for you guys.

[StarGirl97]

I can meet anytime on this Saturday and on the 24th. Just let me know what time we are meeting. I am going to drag races that i talked about before on Saturday night. So if anybody is interested in comming with me. Let me know.

[Defgeph]

alright myself, mac, and tte are going we are gonna leave friday night the 23 adn crash at hotel room.

Could one of youguys close by get me a number to a decent hotel around there thanks
DEF

[Consynx]

Springhouse Suites is by me, like $110 a night i believe...pretty damn nice
but i didnt grab number, if you REALLY need me to let me know
its off of Lebanon Church road, about 10-15mins from VIP

[Defgeph]

DEF

[OrbitalGT95]

k i just wanted to say that im SOOOOO FUXING PUMPED FOR THE 6GEN MEET. sadly though i'll only be coming to the 24th date have a safe trip to everyone thats coming

[Supersprynt]

I'm interested in a NE meet since I was away for the last one, but I wanna get my new tranny in beore hand, whens this dated for?

[Defgeph]

[Supersprynt]

Yeah its hard for me since NJ isnt exactly down the street.

And I will have a primer colored car all year, but i suppose the 3s makes up for it.

[Defgeph]

[Consynx]

i did the search on those hotels using the south park address, and it gave this one:

Sheraton Station Square Hotel
100% Match

but i was under the impression Station Square was kinda of downtown

here, do a mapquest for that hotel and the south park thing, see how close it is...i'll do it later, i gotta run
and i'll tell you if i was wrong or right
it might be pretty close

[StarGirl97]

I will not be attending the meet this saturday is there is still one going on or the one on the 24th. I have a blown up engine right now.

I am not sure how close south park is to station square. But station square is a really cool place to hang out.

If anybody was planning on meeting tomorrow during the day and was still coming to the drag races let me know because I can meet you at the races.

[TRDCelicaST]

I just found out that I have to work at 3 tomorrow. So no meet for me tomorrow, but Ill be there on the 24th.

[DG_Performance]

ok ....well now that everyone is backing out of the 17th meet i guess i will too. i will try to fix my car tomorow and be ready for the 24th instead of going tomorow then...

[Defgeph]

[Consynx]

im still on the schedule for Sat, but if i need to i just wont show
i've been there for 3 yrs, they can deal with it...

the only bad news i see is all this rain...we might have to move to something indoors

[Consynx]

estimated driving time from that hotel that i listed is 22 minutes, although it said 2.XX miles away, mapquest has 9
and the directions they give are what i assumed it would be coming from

but Stargirl is right, Station Square would be kewl for you if you're 21+ and the meet is early...you could party there. lots'a places to go.

as for a closer hotel i just tried Hotels.com and...god i hate these things sometimes
mapquest changes my zip codes, and just...yea
go with station square, if you want your discount...otherwise just lemme know and ill look some more for a closer motel/hotel

[Defgeph]

thanks for the help consynx.....

[Consynx]

sorry i couldn't find one online

my g/f lives on the opposite side of south park than me, so next time i go to her house ill drive through to see if there's any places, although you'll probably have a room booked by then.

[StarGirl97]

So is anybody meeting today at any time or is everybody just going next week?

[DG_Performance]

everyone is just going to the 24th meet now i think.
i am hoping to get my car 100% ready by that day.
i found out that my new turbo that i just put on, is causing all my problems and i need to get another one.
so if any of you guys know where i can get a good stock ct26 let me know... i hope to have a turbo here by thursday.
i will deffinetly have one comming soon but i got to wait for the guy to upgrade his car b4 he can get me his old turbo. as of now i am just hoping that he can get it to me b4 the meet so i can take my car.
if my plans dont work out i will just come down to the meet in the wrx???
see you guys soon ,
dg

[DG_Performance]

i am working around the clock to get a turbo....
i want to take the celi so bad....i hope it is ready
i might be able to do some crazy modification to the ic pipes to allow me to run with a bad turbo if i have to
the rest of you better be ready to go saturday
dg

[TRDCelicaST]

Awesome! I came home from the movies tonight to find that my dad backed his truck right into the drivers side of my car! This is just great, hopefully I can get the bodywork taken care of before next saturday.

[DG_Performance]

I am now officially 100% ready for the meet and nothing is going to stop me from going. I fixed my problem and have been drivin my car around and it is good to go for this meet. My celica will be there....
see you guys on saturday!!!!!

[DG_Performance]

I am now officially 100% ready for the meet and nothing is going to stop me from going. I fixed my problem and have been drivin my car around and it is good to go for this meet. My celica will be there....
see you guys on saturday!!!!!

[lagos]

i really wish u guys set this up for like 2 weeks from now...yesterday i got my car runnning and plan to go out on my 1st test drive by this weekend. then about a week or two of driving and keeping a close eye on everything, and my car should be road worthy for a trip.

maby we can set up another meet for next month or something, thats closer to the northeast area (like all those fun philly meets we had before!).

[Consynx]

heh, i dont do philly
im not a trip kind of person, sorry.
although those meets did seem awesome

[rob7796]

so what time are we meeting?

[Defgeph]

consynx, could you find me a closer hotel .......

thanks man
DEF

[DG_Performance]

We can meet at like 12:00 or 1:00 and that way we can hang out for like 5 hours b4 anyone would have to leave and make a long trip home

how does that sound to the rest of you guys going to the meet?

So who are the people going to this meet for sure?

I want to see how many of us there will be!

[StarGirl97]

I will be coming, but not with the celica. Just let me know what time and i'll be there.

[Consynx]

ehh, damn
USC is near south park
and that township is the worst when it comes to strictness

they probably dont ALLOW hotels

i'll ask my g/f tomorrow if there's anything, if there is she'd prob know.

as for the time...
i dont get off work till 5...so 12-1 is fine, just make sure people plan to stay some

[rob7796]

Sounds good to me. I'll be there for sure.

[DG_Performance]

The list so far if everyone shows up is:
DG Performance (for sure)
Consynx after 5:00 (for sure)
Stargirl without celi (for sure)
Rob7796 (for sure)
TRDcelicast
Defgeph (for sure)
Mac (for sure)
Tte
Orbitalgt95 (for sure)
Playr158
Droptopgt
Moltar
Nycelica

So is everyone else on this list still coming?
pm me and i will add you to the "for sure" status

thanks

[OrbitalGT95]

im deff going , called of my valet job..everything is going to be awsome..i sugest we meet at 1pm..is that cool..pluse im thinkin bout bring a grill abd havein a good ol barbq in the lot..oh and a word of advise....there are two parking lots at south park were cars meet at..one is by some racing restaurant, the other is closer the the horse stables..i suggest we meet at the one closer to the horse stables. also cops hide everywhere on that street so drive 25-30 mph...can't wait to see everyone there

[Consynx]

oh yes, good point Orbital

he is NOT lying
that road is 25MPH and is STRICTLY enforced.
PLEASE do not speed in South Park.

as for a place to stay, there's a place right across from South Hills Village on Fort Couch Road,and use to be The Ramada, but has changed...

sorry that i do not know the current name

[Defgeph]

I need some phone numbers pmed to me please

so in the morning someone can meet us at the hotel and we can follow

hotel is still undecided at this time .. prolly what will happen is we will just find like a holiday inn or something like that and crash for a couple of hours....


myself , and mac are coming tte can make it

later
DEF

[Consynx]

heh, you really dont need someone to follow, but if you say so

neways GL on the trip, see ya around 6

[DG_Performance]

Hey def, I can come to the hotel and get you guys if you want. if the hotel is by the mall i can meet you at the mall at whatever time.
just email me you cell phone number and i will email mine back to you and you can give me a call in the morn and i will meet you so you guys dont have a hard time finding the parking lot.
dg

[DG_Performance]

So... who is bring the stuff so we can have a BBQ and make some food in the parking lot? We need somebody to bring one of them little grills so we can have a small party we can drive up to the store to get some food and drinks so dont worry about that.

ATT:
For those of you who dont plan to show up for 1:00 in the VIP,,,I advise you to get someones phone # who will be with all of us at the meet (that way you can find us) and call us when you are ready to show up cause we might go cruising to other locations and not be in VIP the whole day so.....just an idea

I cant wait!

[Digndoug]

Ah, I would be down for this.. but I have plans for once.. I will be in on another meet if its before the end of august, an maybe lagos will have his car ready too.... unless i start doing my swap.. eh just an idea.

[Defgeph]

woot I'll see all you guys soon .....

We are just gonna find a hotel close to the mall and sleep for a couple of hours.... we are driving through the night to make it there

later guys
DEF

[macavely]

sorry guys i'm not going to be able to make it.. i'm going to be drugged up on pain killers..

[lagos]

DG asked me to tell you guys that him and a buch of other people were running late....so if anyone came down and didnt see any cars, then come back down again cause the whole crew is there (except for me).
