September SoCal Cruise Meet Options

[windowlicker]

So I was thinking of putting together a cruise day for the last couple months, but have been really really busy with work, thus wasn't able to get it set up the last couple months. I thought September would be a good month since people will have started school and would have a more regular schedule.

I wanted to first start this thread by asking what weekend works best for most people and go from there. I was looking at either September 18th or 19th, but am flexible depending on what the majority of people say works for them.

At this point I have a planned route, but I don't want to advertise it out so early, just to keep things under wraps from authorities knowing before hand. Lets just say it will be a nice canyon cruise and we'll end the day up at the Griffith Observatory for some amazing pictures with the sun setting. If anyone has not been up there, especially at the end of the day, it is nothing short of breath taking. I took 2celicas2love up there to scout out the best times to go, and she really liked it.

Chime in and let me know who's interested and what days work for you.

We tried this remember? We got denied and told to go worry about just our cars and let the "big boys" handle the meets, like they have a college degree for it or something. Should be more exclusive anyway. You don't know anyone from Dirty Impreza who would want to?

Nevermind.....

downn for a cruise! =)

[markie]

haven't had a chance to drive a lot since i swapped in the motor, maybe a cruise would be nice..

[BonzaiCelica]

i wont be able to attend guys I already promised my friend I would help him move out before I saw this post. I thought I would be helping him move from 8-1pm and then I would head out with Chris to Hollywood. But he told me yesterday that he doesn't know when his move in time is. I wish you guys could move this date to next next saturday but Im pretty sure most of you have already planned this day out. Im also getting new Yoko S Drive's pretty soon. my toyo proxes 4 are done.... Have fun out there

[windowlicker]

that sucks bonzai, but hopefully he can move in early and you can meet up with us at some point. keep in touch and let me know if things work out to where you can meet up with us. hopefully you can at least meet up with us later at the observatory.

well, it was a great day to go for a cruise, it was nice and cool next to the beach, and we had a fun road to drive. it was only bonzai and myself, but even then it was fun. uploaded some pics, now i just need to go through the video. only set backs were a few people driving slow in spots of the road, but the most sketchy, yet funny one was when a girl in a lancer would not let us by. she had at leas 2 more passengers in the car and decided she was going to try and haul ass through the corners. well she came about 2 inches from crashing hard. lets just say wheels lifted off the ground as she turned/understeered/slammed on brakes/began to panic.

only other downer of the day, but still couldn't ruin the drive was bonzai's car overheating. car still ran, but we had to take it easy for the rest of the trip. got a little lost and i think a guy in a red f430 was talking smack to me (wasn't listening to him) as we busted a u turn in front of what we later assumed was the entrance to his driveway. learned a couple things about the roads out there, and ultimately decided that route isn't really practical for a pch to hollywood route, but would be a good route for some canyon driving ending up at the beach to finish the day. here's the pics.









will be trying to set something up in a few months, probably november since i am pretty busy for the entire month of october. i'll keep you guys posted.

[EKAn]

any vids?

[windowlicker]

working on the vids that i got.

bonzai, you get the relay all changed out???

[urbandork]

bonzai, you get the relay all changed out???

I check the all three relays with a 12v source (his bat) and a multi meter. All three were working correctly. Guna take a look at the EWD tmw to see what else it could be.. possible sensor or another switch.

Craig my guess is that its most likely the thermostat, wouldn't you say so!!?? I need the car by 3clock tomorrow for an orientation pretty close to my house or I could use my dads camry. So you want to see if its the switch that opens and closes the thermostat??

yea Im working on my video as well. we both had go pro hero wide camera's!!

well my overheating problem was fixed. I bought a 91 5sfe Camry thermostat for $18 from the dealer. and no more overheating. I tested the original thermostat by leaving it in boiling water to see if it would open or not and nothing happened. So that's when I decided to buy a new one....

Be Patient in watching the video, It doesn't start to get better until 1 minute into it... and plus my toyo proxes 4 tires are pretty much done, as you can hear by the screeching of the tires

i still gotta upload some of the videos i have to youtube. i quickly went through them yesterday and i didn't get the parts after we turned off pacific coast highway and up on muloholland. i need to see if my free version of vegas is still working so i can put some music with the video and trim the begining parts.

[808celica]

you guys wanna plan something next year around aprilish??? i get my 1 week vacation then LOL

[BonzaiCelica]

ya I usually wouldn't miss a celica meet for the world. Wait are you coming back to California again, cause I remember you saying you were going to las vegas because your dad was taking you for your 21st birthday and what not.

[Random_Stranger]

I may have a GT-Four conversion by then, or no Celica at all and sold celica funds in one of my MR2 turbos. But either way, I am still working on going out to visit SoCal anyways, regardless of who is available or not. I have been wanting to go, but crap keeps coming up like an alternator for my MR2, hoses, spark plug wires, cap and rotor and just funds period. My pay schedule being as messed up as it is has a huge impact on this as well, as I could be going 3 weeks off one pay check until I get my other physical check. But money is making it's way to me soon to get a head start on things to be more available at the drop of a hat (which would be nice for once).

I really miss you guys and always have a blast with you.
