6th Bi-Annual Texas 6GC Meet, 1st Week of April Options

[DEATH]

Here is a link to last year's meet:
http://www.6gc.net/forums/index.php?showto...mp;#entry891208
If you look we have done this at minimum every year but most years twice - once in the spring, once in the fall.

This year will be Spider77's last meet so we NEED to have a huge attendance to send him off right!

Where: Austin Texas
When: April 1st (my Bday) through April 3rd. The actual cruise will be on April 2nd.
Why: To cruise the legendary twisties of Marble Falls and meet and take pics with fellow Celica owners!

Let's start a rollcall:
DEATH - '94 GT2 Turbo

[Spider77]

Hey, thanks for putting this together again. I had a blast last time, and hopefully we can get a larger turnout this time. I'll pass this on to Dillon and we'll get his Camry down there!

DEATH - '94 GT2 Turbo
SPIDER77 - '94 GT

[DEATH]

No problem bro - hopefully my car will be in better shape for this one so we can go for a ride and really lay in to her.
Does that day work for you?

[stephen_lee]

I'll plan this thing a little better this time lol! so we meet in the same location (on top of that parking garage) and run off after a bit for the twisties. I'll make a trip up there on my own before the actual meet to plan the route and make a test run (or two ) then find a better photoshoot place that doesnt involve the cops.
who wants to make this a multi-day event??

[Spider77]

For myself, I can only make that Saturday....due to other things that I am already committed to. One suggestion though, if the meet up point could be a tad closer to the actual run? I think thats where we lost a lot of guys. I'm looking at google maps, and I got to say, there are at least four or five roads in the area that I would totally tear up.
But I will leave this up to you, as you obviously know the area better than I do. Can't wait to see what you put together for the run. I've already contacted a few guys, so hopefully we can get a caravan from DFW down there (yeah guys, the drive down there isn't that bad! So get off you ass and do it)

[D-Man]

1st weeknd of april?

Should i be done with this title ****, and have my legitness, then i'm in. (and remind me to remind you to remind me to get that dang radiator as soon possible)

Can i make Lala rock the SC1 all by herself?

[Spider77]

All I gotta say, if your a 6GC owner in the DFW, be prepared to get a PM or TXT. Thanks.

[stephen_lee]

im not all that familiar with the area, but ill be spending some hours with google maps, and i will also go up and make the run, find a closer meet point (plus i got a girl up there i been meaning to see again )

[DEATH]

All I gotta say, if your a 6GC owner in the DFW, be prepared to get a PM or TXT. Thanks.

Can you go drag Joe and Ripley out of that house of theirs and make them come?

[HectortheRican]

FUUUUUUUUUUUU whyyyyyyyyyy >_<

I'll be in Albuquerque for that meet

I'd absolutely love to come out. I wish I could

STEPHEN_LEE
2bcelica - 98 GT Beams

sorry that I haven't been active on the forums. Work has been busy and had little time for the celica, besides its too cold to do anything. Looking forward to making the meet.

[Spider77]

why is his last meet?

Because the chances of me landing a squadron here in Fort Worth are kind of rare. So more likely than not, I wont be here for any future ones.

it's well worth the drive down from DFW, great roads, tons of fun to be had.
have a great time & take tons of pics

[Spider77]

NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Well, I did throw out some PM's, so lets hope that we get some people to show up from here, besides the ones from last time!

[Hazmat]

Put me down as a maybe. I have alot of upcoming stuff that I need to get taken care of so I'll know when it comes closer. Not to mention being night crew now has me completely screwed up... haven't seen the sun in a week or so lol

[Spider77]

If its no biggie, I put this out at Celica-Tech. They were wanting to get a meet together around the same time frame. The more (celcias) the better, right?
Also may be gathering some interest from ToyotaNation as well.....have not put anything out over there though.
I want to also put this out at DallasImports.net, may be able to get some more people.
Thing is I dont want to flood it with more bodies than you guys can handle, so let me know.

2-

[thespacepanda]

Ok, due to my shameful lack of presence as of recent, I will make all efforts possible to be there. I'll be driving up early Saturday, since I gotta work Friday night.

Hopefully my engine will be fixed up to where it should be by then.

Either way, I'll see you all in Austin.

[NgoFcukinWay]

If I don't have a test or anything important that Friday, I'll skip class and ask for the day off from work to head to Austin either Thursday night or Friday or whenever a good part of the Houston crew decides to leave. The G should have a few things added to it by that time to make it a little bit more enjoyable through the hills. I'll see if some of the other G guys wanna go or not.

[Lil-Joe101]

Dont put me down but, keep me in in the air, Hoping to have my car ready to go by then. Need an exact or close to date tho, so I know my estimated timeline. really wann go, n very interested.

Can some supras come?

Jim

[NgoFcukinWay]

Definitely. I was about to post this up over on Supramania, Jim. Feel free to do the honors.

[aerojock]

OK If you don't mind I'll put it on Celicasupra.com too.

[aerojock]

The roads are not as curvey but the Driftwood area is nice.

There is a good BBQ place in Driftwood just southwest of Austin called "The Salt Lick", if you want to end there and have a bite. Here is the web stie link. The "NUtty Brown Cafe" is another good place with a variety of food.

It's spot H that I am talking about. It is the original location.

[MixMaster]

I missed last yr, this one I plan on making.
Is anyone else down here in Austin? If you guys need some road suggestions or routes scouted, just let me know. Email is best: alltrac93@gmail.com

Also, have you guys considered the 3 sisters?

http://www.motorcycleroads.com/routes/Sout...t/TX/TX_3.shtml

[Spider77]

Ive heard a lot of good things about that route. I would love to do that one, but it'll be an all day drive for sure, or i'd have to stay overnight. And getting some of the DFW guys down there would be kind of hard.

[NgoFcukinWay]

If it matters, I'll be in the Dallas/Richardson/Carollton area on Friday for my eye appointment in the early afternoon if anyone's up for a late lunch or early dinner.

[Spider77]

Seriously, you need to make these appointments for Sundays! For real though, its almost a month till the meet, is there any update in this?

[D-Man]

btw- **** is really starting to look foward for me. (though i probably just jinxed myself)

so we can think about expecting my ugly ass vert to show after all this time of sitting. with anyluck featuring 100% moar D-Topicpolourathaglastic resisns (my own personal home brew- ask matt- he's kicked it! and it didn't budge)

apparently someone has bashed in my bumper... again.



EDIT: D-Topicapolyourathaglastic.

how could i misspell a word; that I myself invented?

Lol. My cousin's office isn't open on Sundays.

Stephen just informed me that the rendezvous point will be at the same parking garage at, IIRC, the 360 bridge? I would assume this is also planned for Saturday.

[zfjohnson07]

i should be going since i bought another celica, unless a freak accident happens

[Spider77]

Yeah, I knew the meeting point was the same. But as far as the route was concerned, its so I can post more information at the other sites I've whored into this. By the way, DFW guys, I'll be sending out one last request to attend (for those Ive talked to) so we can arrange a cruise out....I plan on stopping off in Killeen to visit LilJoe (if hes not attending) to say hi and look at his ride (and of course take some pics)....

[HectortheRican]

Like I said, I'm down for anything after May 20th-ish

[stephen_lee]

still planning a route. expect it to be much longer up to marble falls.

[Spider77]

niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice

[2bcelica]

Looks like I won't be able to attend this meet. Will be in Florida that weekend and then to Alaska working. Hope you guys take good pics.

[Hazmat]

I'm also not going to be able to attend. I got way to much sh!t to deal with this month and next. x2 on the pics.

[D-Man]

I'm busting ass to meet my challange

hahahahah~ Got laid off but still expecting to make it. (fcuk the economy- i had a new job the next day)

it'll be tight though, Stephen- You and Matt bring extra parts- One of us ALWAYS breaks down- I expect it to be me this year.

[stephen_lee]

April 2 guys!

testing out new route next weekend

[NgoFcukinWay]

let us know how it works out.

[D-Man]

^agreed.

And bring me and Ung some ChiliFrys.

[freddy121389]

i could come but i wont have my car, could i tag along in someones car?

[NgoFcukinWay]

i could come but i wont have my car, could i tag along in someones car?

do eeet!!

[Spider77]

I have the feeling that I'll be brining someone, so really only have rear seat room, and we all know thats a joke, unless your under 5 feet.

[Spider77]

Oh no, I really do not want to post this here, but there is a chance that I may not be able to make it. I'm trying to get the celica road worthy right now, barring any unforseen bs, I should be good, but today has been nothing but a BS kind of day. Right now, she sits in a parking lot at my shop.

[stephen_lee]

oh shiiit? i had a wheelbearing go last week. whatd urs do?

[Spider77]

Crossmember bolts stripped, threads where corssmember goes, stripped. Driverside CV boot (outboard) torn, I can see the races and cage from under my car. On a plus note the timing belt job went ok, and the car runs. Also amazed on how the car sounds running open header. So I got to rig this thing up somehow, have a few ideas tossing around.....

[stephen_lee]

ah. just drill and tap the holes to the next larger size, even if its an SAE size. looks like you'll need a cv though

[Spider77]

ah. just drill and tap the holes to the next larger size, even if its an SAE size. looks like you'll need a cv though

Usually thats what I would do, but I dont feel like going through all that. So Im going to pop out the radiator, move the condenser, and drill out holes there, run two bolts, and use a plate to bring the crossmember up. And I got a new (not remaned) CV on its way. And new tires as well. With any luck I should be up and running by Sunday.

[stephen_lee]

i would tack the bolts in place through the rad support, and paint the welds. just so i'll never have to worry about getting to them when im removing/tightening tat set....but that's me, having a welding machine at home haha, its REALLY convenient.

good luck!

[stephen_lee]

got a new route planned, includes the famous "lime creek rd" and maybe a new very long very curvy road, "cow creek rd" looks to be a total of 70 miles, and an estimated run time of 2.5 hours w/ about 75% hard turns
starts at the bridge, runs lime creek the opposite way as last time, and ends up in marble falls

gonna test it out this Saturday and see if it flows well, construction, bad road conditions, etc.

NEW ROUTE

Looks like a lot of fun. I should have my car up by this weekend....

I can sve you a drive if you're not going to be in town for any other reason. I live 10 min from 1431 and lime creek rd. Just let me know.....
Paul

[stephen_lee]

well i already made the drive. i think cow creek has more "road hazards" but in all its a more chill drive. very scenic, constant curves, just a couple spots where if u go to fast u might end up in a creek. i need to make a few changes to thte route though

btw if anyone wants or needs to get a hold of me 361-648-8176. you can text or call

[stephen_lee]

updated route

darth! join us i see you reading lol

^ i wish we could stephen ... too much life stuff to deal with & unfortunately no time for any fun at all.
looks like a good route you have chosen. we'll see ya'll another time, maybe next year.

[D-Man]

^we'll have another one in the fall.

[Spider77]

CELICA UP! It lives again, now need to put on new rubber and Im all set!
I've updated my threads at the other boards, and Dillon said he'll probably roll in his Caliber.

[stephen_lee]

that i definitely understand, i just got a house and if this was 3 months ago i couldn't do it either

the test run was pretty fun

though a motorcycle wiped out fairly depressing

glad to hear the celica is up too!

[playboymma]

Paul

Paul, do you know anything about the "Twisted Sisters" run?

G's getting some new tires on and I need to "fine tune" the sway bar settings.

[aerojock]

Do you have the schedule for what's going to happen. I have some other commitments in the evening and I was wondering the timing on things.


Jim

[stephen_lee]

Meet at 1. Photoshoot once everyone arrives. Run the cruise at 3, finish at 5.dinner. Done.


The multiday thing hardly ever works but I'm thinking of getting a hotel for fri/sat nights.

[Spider77]

So, we are meeting at 1, will update the other threads, thanks!

[aerojock]

I can make he meet but won't be able to make the cruise part.


Jim

[Spider77]

So, who is all going to this thing? I figure a week away now, its either do or don't (save for those who have stuff at last minute.........)

[Spider77]

Other threads updated, now to post a few more, in hopes of getting more members.

[stephen_lee]

Well I'm obviously going lol. I'll text DEATH and see if he is still down

IDK... never sold it... lol.

uh... if i did cost plus a small percentage for my efforts- i see no reason it'd ever exceed hundred. Prly 60-80 depending on packaging and mixing materials? With directions and independent catalyst... i guess...

it's a method of Topicaly (or throughout) bonding polyurethane with a fiberglass mixture (designed to adhere to polyurethane) to repair stock bumpers n stuff. Honestly i found some materials that disintegrate Poly-U (that has a short lifetime of activity- before turning into some rock hard material that is about 3%larger in size after it dries & deactivates) and a bad ass adheisive that bonds to both poly and fg; mixed together with fiberglass resins and applied with a 4th and 5th chemical to get the biggest bang. 4 years it hasn't budged- and has been put to the test. (meaning i may or may not have ran into some ****- Plus a few boots have came at it looking to test it's operability. thebolt holes in the bumper have given wear and way; where's my patches haven't even sliped a hair) it's sandable, cleanable, and paintable.

i never figured there'd be a market for my mad science. HAHAH!!

[NgoFcukinWay]

[D-Man]

i'm out. work half day (new job cause of layoff- cant ask for days off this early in the game) then rest of day is dedicated to Rei-Ohkie. (stoopid legal crap- it's all paperwork. FTL)


MALHAR- Remove spark plugs - cover area with weighted rags- Disconect fuel pump fuse. Crank it over gently. just for a sec. this will blow out the fuel buildup and delete your flood lock.

Replace sparkplugs and FP fuse, Start her up. Drive.
