Illinois Meet Part 2.., Cancelled due to bad weather and lack of intrest! Options

[beastman]

Ok guys since there has been somemore interest from other members about another meet before winter, I've decided to hold another one at Starved Rock (probably the same shelter we were at before, if its available), on the 22nd of October. Its another sunday meet which i think works out good for everyone that came to the last one. Im planning on having a BBQ again, followed by a cruise through Starved Rock State Park and then heading into the town of Ottawa, IL for some good scenery shots! Everyone on the forums is welcome wheather or not you have a 6gc. Just post your name on the list below so we can get an idea of how many people are interested. Thanks again everyone!

im down for it again theres a good place to take pics east on 71 called council rock. theres a small parking area thats usually empty.

also the drive to that spot is a BLAST! you only need 1st and 2nd gear most of the time, maybe 3rd when you hit an open flat spot.

[nate95]

I live about 2 1/2 hours or so from starved rock state park,, i live in mattoon IL.. im soo pumped to get this turbo installed, but just last night some jackhole stole my wallet, so im hoping that doesn't put a delay on the install:(

[Bitter]

ah, you're the OTHER 2 hours from there im about 4 hours from you. if you need some help real bad i usually have a free day or 2 a week that i could donate. i have a decent set of hand tools, impacts, and pretty good knowledge of the 7afe and cars.

what are you using to tune it with?

[nate95]

im driving down to Tenn. to have myneyes help me install it..if i ever need any help i'll let you know though,, thanks. im just using a 255 walbro fuel pump, fuel pressure regulator, FMU, and a narrow band O2, nothing really to tune, its all mechanical.

[Bitter]

that should be OK for relatively low boost, but you'll eventually want some control over your ignition timing so that it can change in relation to boost. also a wideband O2 is, i think, a bare necessity to have. i can put you in contact with a guy who can do about $175 shipped for an AEM 6n1 wideband. thats what i have and i like it, im going to be installing a safc2 and i hope to have that in and partially tuned by this meet.

[nate95]

ya im planning on running like 5-6 psi daily, and around 10 when i race it. eventualy i will get all that extra stuff.

[Bitter]

i suggest the emanage, its pretty user friendly but a little costly. the megasquirt is a cheaper alternative but it doesnt control spark and its a little more DIY.


im too used to my friend in cali and his insane 2000 Eclipse GS, built 2.4L with an Evo head, 15psi is 'low boost' for him, 22-25 isnt uncommon. 450ish at the wheels! its an insane car, he can break loose the tires in just about any gear at any speed if he wants to and he's running 235 wide KDW's

[nate95]

thats insane,, but ya i want to get what i have installed and then go from there.

[sinner96ST]

i'm interested in going, but i'm not entirely sure about my work schedule.. but if i come, i probably won't bring the 6th gen, most likely i'll be bringing my bike.

[Shigexile]

did this topic die already?

i'm thinking about it. i'll see if i can get some more stuff for my car first thou

[Bitter]

its not dead, just a lull until the date gets closer.

[fanboy95]

its not dead, just a lull until the date gets closer.

yep thats about right, i got some new stuff for my car already.

[Bitter]

im thinking of heading out early and seeing if the jc witney outlet store has and good sales or specials going on, anyone else thinking of doing the same, i think they open up at 9. if nothing else i could pickup some tools for cheap or an obnoxoisly loud horn for my car.

[Bitter]

also, anyone thats coming...
i have a muffler for sale, ive been trying to sell it for a while. 2.5 inch inlet, oval straight through with a nice tip. $30 for it is all im asking, it came off my friends eclipse when he moved up to a Greddy EVO 2 exhaust.

its all shiny now, the haze wiped right off of it and the inlet is cleaned up as well.

i also have a 2.5" AEM bypass valve for CAI's. it'll help to keep you from hydrolocking the motor if you hit water.

and

$55, brand new. i have one just like it and i love it. it breaks loose anything, its 460lb/ft

[Shigexile]

just wonderng... is there really gonna be this many people showing up? That'll be cool if there is this many coming.

I might have my friend drive the FD this time if i go

[fanboy95]

i know i'm still planning on going. i hope everyone else is too.

[Bitter]

I asked my friend with a V6 eclipse if he wants to come, he may come. he's a cool guy and knows ALOT about suspension, wheels, tires, and brakes. he's my suspension,wheel, tire, and brake guru

[chosen1]

Thanks fanboy95 for contacting me. After a string of bad luck with the car I don't know if I'll be able to make it. My uncle has been "borrowing it" for the last 5 months and last time I saw the car it looked like it was beat to s***. So if I do come I'll probably bring my Malibu. Bitter, I'm on the south side too. You don't have to give me ur address but what are you near?

You're all the way across the state from me, you're almost just as far as Utica is.

However, if you came up 74, which would be completely out of your way, i would meet up with you coming off of 67. Once agian, completly out of your way.

Anybody else live near or around quincy??? And also, got an almost exact address of where we'll meet?

[fanboy95]

[115celi]

I am planning on going, but my car still isn't running, so I don't know yet.

Narrowed it down to the ignition, there is no spark. I am hoping to figure it out in time for this meet.

[fanboy95]

[Bitter]

erm the weather looks ****ty, if its going to be ****ty on sat nights forecast then i'm not going to go. it'll be wet from raining and barely even 50F.

[beastman]

if no one cares about gas and crap we could meet up somewhere around me and go bowling or do something. Then go out to lunch or an early dinner? i dunno just trying to come up with ideas??? we could possibly crash my basement for a little bit that night too. Ive got a pool table down there... anyone else got any ideas? i would definately like to get together to hang out.. just something i came up with...it sucks that it got this cold so early in the season. Im down for meeting up out near lemont/bolingbrook/woodridge and we could cruise out by me. there are a couple of things i can think of we can do...

[bloodMoney]

It looks like I won't be able to make it after all... I got stuck working from 12-7 on sunday. sorry guys, hopefully i'll be able to make the next one.

[beastman]

yea due to the bad weather and lack of intrest im gonna cancel the meet for this sunday. I also have to work at 5 and wouldnt mind having a day off.. We will definately have one in the spring! look for a post in april or so...once the weather starts changing...

[fanboy95]

untill then everyone keep in touch, i plan on coming up to everyone's area maybe in nov.
