[2celicas2love]

only 7 of us were there, but we had alot of fun and went on an awesome trip to mt baldey and did many photo shoots
must admit many of those 7th gens were amazing, made me for a few minutes want to put money into mine. and please excuse my car's appearance I just got it and have yet to do any body work or paint, I am aware of it's un-acceptable looks. It's work in progress so be easy on me

ew, that's nasty. Oh and I see Blue Eyes made it out and I missed it, darn! lol Anyways, I hope we can get together shortly, weather permitting. You know that I-5 gets famous for black ice around the colder seasons, which would kick my arse trying to make it out.

Windowlicker's been known to give people a tour of his tunnel.

Nice pics though...Chris, why'd you take off the rally lights?

well, i don't really like leaving them on all the time. i hate the idea of leaving them on the car when i go to the grocery store and the possibility of someone knocking the sh*t out of them with a shopping cart. i mainly only put them on for rallyx events or if i'm planning on going up to the canyons at night and taking them off when i get the chance. just don't want to keep replacing lights, especially after the last one got shattered by a branch that was sticking out too far. they're not super expensive, but $60 each time something happens to a set can really add up.

[dabazied]

Great pics, I really like the last one a lot.

Oh, and lil miss, you better keep a crazy thought like putting money into your 7th gen to those few moments =P

[MaskedMan]

Alright I just got home now, that was one hell of a drive home. I took over 100 pictures of the meet, although a lot of them are doubles (just so I could make sure I get at least 1 good shot in). Took a look at them and most of them came out really well. I have about 40 pictures I want to post, so give me some time and I'll have them all up in a few minutes. It was really great meeting up with all of you and I'm glad I made the long drive down. Be back with some pictures .

I'm glad you made it home alright Derrick. Can't wait to see the pics.

[Batman722]

nice place !

keep the pics comming !

[MaskedMan]

Ok here is my contribution .

Getting organized.


Nics was late to the party, so we put a shopping cart there to reserve a spot. However, some douche moved it away to park his RX8 there.








When we got to the Chino Hills meet, parking was packed. But we managed to get parking together eventually.















So after the Chino Hills meet, we headed out for some driving. The roads were very nice (except those rocks I ran over) and the view was amazing.






We had some really good places to park and take pictures, but those flies.. arg.

[dabazied]

Nice pics

hopefully, i get fixed my a/c fixed sometime but i gotta drive to El Monte for it. shops here charge a lot.

Ok I just woke up from being passed out all day .

Nics I didn't resize any of the pictures, but I think photobucket automatically resized them all when I uploaded them. I can send you all the pictures via email if you would like (I have 3 shots of every picture I took). I'm going to be sending them all to bay_araa joe so let me know if you want copies too.

Oh yeah, also. Did anybody else see that HUGE spider in the road while we were driving in the canyons? Chris almost ran it over and my Celica said "eww" and avoided it completely . It's a pretty big spider if I can see it on the road while driving haha.

Hey Faust! I was going to bring you some get well soon, chicken noodle soup (with a soda on the side), but on my way up, I drove past Bakersfield at like 5am and figured that you'd be more angry than anything if I woke you up at 5am just to give you soup . I was also falling asleep on the drive up, it was pretty crazy. I stopped at a Chevron to get gas and knocked out in the parking lot. Then I got food at Jack in the Box and knocked out in the parking lot. Then I stopped at another Chevron and knocked out in the parking lot without buying anything haha.

Awe man, that's very thoughtful of you. Nah, I wouldn't get upset. I couldn't do anything. Well I did have a fever, not sure how entertaining I would be, but thanks for the thoughts. Yeah, I really wish I could have gone, although I am kinda glad I avoided the nasty gnats and the hater 7th gen boys.

Hahaha Faust, you're making it seem like they beat us up and stole our lunch money . Let's just pretend that they were sooo amazed by our sexy cars that they couldn't say anything at the time. We did have some of them coming over and taking pictures of our cars. I was recognized too! When Daniel and I were going to get water, one of the 7th gen owners stopped us and was like, "Hey so what do you have done to your Celica?", and as I'm standing there thinking about the never ending list of modifications where I don't even know where to start, he's like "Hey were you at the Fairfield meet?", and I'm like "ooo yeah, I was there." And he was like, "OOO I knew your car looked familiar but I didn't want to say anything, I wasn't sure if it was you or not haha." And I'm like, "Well I mean, there aren't too many Celicas that look like mine." I don't remember the rest of the convo, but it had to do with how this meet was kind of lame and not as good as it was in the past. Seriously though, the meet is usually much better, I don't know what happened this year, but I'll blame it on the economy this time.

LOL DUde, I was pretty damn sick. But I won't, in fact, I went ahead and PAID for new tires and an alignment for safe travel to the next meet. My last set kinda scared me and my steering wheel would vibrate side to side like a mother. My friend was supposed to hook me up with some tires, but never responded when I was ready. So I had to go ahead and take care of it today, because I couldn't handle it any more, plus I had a screw in one of my tires, they were getting low and all the stores had sucky thingies for putting air in your tires... so it was just time. Plus now that I got some thicker tires, I can enjoy a smooth ride, and the offset doesn't look so bad anymore. Still getting new rims though in the future, after I get my MR2 Turbo.

Had my tires replaced a couple of months ago. just need suspension.

so what tires did you go for and how much you paid?

you flip right?

[Random_Stranger]

^^ Yeah I am Flip, but technically I am mixed. Although I just say I am Flip so I don't have to get into details, plus I carry my grandfather's full name who came from the P.I.

I just went with some brand called Sumitomo tires because my friend was going to hook me up and whether or not I got ripped off today doesn't concern me a bit. I dropped $580 today on 225/45/17s and an alignment, since I went the whole period without one on my last set of tires. It was so bad today I couldn't stand it, so I just went ahead and had these put on. My riding is so smooth now and much better than my other tires... I could feel cotton balls being ran over with those things.

I dunno, so far I actually like my Sumitomos. I didn't know anything about them, but my friend said they are a good brand. I threw them on yesterday. Now I don't feel jack when I am driving. It's a nice feeling. My other tires sucked. Nitto neo-gen.

My brother has Nittos, he's happy with them. I've never heard of Primewell tires either before I got mine, but apparently they're decent for budget performance.

[MaskedMan]

Arrrg I already know for sure I won't be able to make it to the 7-8th meet because I already planned to be in SoCal Nov 26th-28th. Oh well .

Also, I found a picture of our cars on the new celica forum.

[BonzaiCelica]

wow guys already in a rush to have another meet since so many people didnt show up... Well hows about we do it in a couple of months. So that people can plan ahead and we can get atleast 10 cars to go. Oh and Derrick, it was only 1 person that asked about our celica's, and think he didnt even own a 7th gen.

Also i will tell you the reason why i was an hour late. I thought we were going to meet up at Long Beach Town Center. So i got to LBC at 11:15 since it only took me 10 min to get there. Then when i called you and asked for directions, I noticed that I had very little gas. So i filled up on the way before i got to chino hills. I know i can tend to be late, but i have a somewhat legitiment excuse. I wont be late to the next meet......

Check out some these videos.

[Random_Stranger]

dang, I wish our video of the last meet prior to this one was put up. LOL I will go to the Nov 7th then. One day, I am confident to believe Derrick and I will be at the same meet one day, hopefully getting sick doesn't happen again. I think because we had a real bad dust storm like 2 days before that is what jacked me up. Bad bad dust storm, looked like Iraq.

Great vids

[MaskedMan]

Hahaha dude don't even worry about being late, it didn't hold us up at all. You can blame nics for that . haha jk jk. But seriously, it's no big deal. Sorry you didn't get the message earlier about the updated meeting location. That was my fault, I should have contacted you about it since I knew that Xavier was caught up with his own stuff. I apologize, I should have been more prepared. I didn't even put together an excel spread sheet for this meet with everyone's cell number and such.. I feel so unorganized. I still have the spread sheet from the last meet in my car haha.

Hey man, 1 person is good enough for me. I do not mind. 1 person is 1 person more than having nobody give us recognition. You have to keep in mind that Chino Hills meet IS a newcelica hosted event, meaning that they are there for their community and there to see new Celicas. We are a completely different car from the Celica that they know, so I am not expecting them to show interest in our cars. Even if they are rude, I feel we should maintain our composure at all times we are with our cars, as we are representing the entire 6th gen community.
haha anyways i still remember it was funny cause Daniel was like, "oh look someone is coming to take pictures of our cars!"....."oh wait, nvm it's just your car haha." Idk I thought that was really funny haha, but it looks like he did actually take a picture of all our cars in the end .

You got some nice videos though! how did you work out taking videos and pictures while driving? I noticed you took some good rolling shots. It's really hard for me to take a clear picture while driving at the same time.

Faust: Dude getting you and me at a meet isn't even the hard part. It's getting You, Me and Craig at the same meet. If we could just get Tip to come down too, we would have a nice collection of Gtfour looking Celicas and my w/e you want to call it Celica .

LOL Oh yeah! Craig and Tip! Yeah, that would be the hardest part. Then that is most certainly a day I will long for.

[MaskedMan]

Well, last I heard, Tip said he'd be down in LA for Halloween soo.. . Hahah actually sorry I'm completely broke right now. It's funny, next time I'm down in SoCal, and I'll be delivering Celica parts to various members, so it's like I get to have a bunch of mini meets while I'm down there haha. I'll get to feel like Santa Claus, but the Asian version who delivers on Thanksgiving .

LOL The Asian version who delivers on Thanksgiving... You should start that Derrick. Yeah man, were you able to get that radio trim bezel? I have had people tell me about how they have my parts, but when it comes down to it, I can't get them for some reason because they don't get back to me. LOL And that sunroof motor, even though it is getting cold, so not so much a big deal right now, but would be nice to have so that when I get bored, I can install that.

[CelicaST_CALI]

I'm going to try tomorrow Faust. But to be honest with you... I have no idea what a sunroof motor looks like! -_-*... I'm going to be taking the headliner off, so I should be able to see everything and what needs to be taken off for the motor. I'll try to get as much as I can to ensure i have what you need. I hope the guy doesn't rape me on prices haha. He shouldn't cause I know the guy and he's really cool, but I'm getting A LOT of stuff, so we'll see how that goes. I'm pretty much going to leave him with just a Celica shell haha. I'm surprised no one was interested in a red 96+ front end with fog lights. I have the SS-III front splitters to go with it too. It's ok though, I'm just going to add it to my collection of Celica bumpers. Also surprised no one wanted the OEM sides either! Celica gold! haha.

If I got a post facelift bumper, I would copy Malpaso. Anyway, the sunroof motor looks that of the wiper blade motor, at least from what I had seen. I wonder if my motor would work from my rear wiper? Hmmm... lol

Oh yeah, and then you could make it so that your sunroof opens and closes intermittently every few seconds. OOO You're right about the SS-IV bumper though. I have the supplies. I have the skills. I have no money to buy a hood haha.

[GMHAPPY29]

Hey all, I am home now and I love the pics. No spreadsheet Derrick??? lol. Keep in touch Derrick and I'll try and roll on the next meet, of course I'd be helping the count on the red Celi's . If you have problems with the motor for Fausts sunroof I still have my complete sunroof ready to sell. Again I was really bummed I was out of the country but it was a trip I needed and I am happy to be home and ready to roll again. Hope to see you guys soon

Yeah I need a motor and possibly the switch, because it does work, but........ well it is hard to explain. I just think that water got in there when I had it up during a light rain and it messed up something.

Yeah and come to the 7th meet, I mean meet on the 7th Nov 09.
