San Fernando Valley, CA fix-it meets Options

[lumbercis]

Im trying to start up a little valley club to meet up once a week during the summer and wrench on our cars. Small, easy jobs at first, then bigger stuff as we get more established. The club was originally based around mr2's and celica alltracs (so mostly cars sharing the 3sgte engine) but I decided to open it up to any cool toyotas that want to show up and contribute to the group.

If you don't know much about cars, it's an opportunity to learn and get some free help with your car. If you are already a car wizard, it's an opportunity to share your knowledge and get other people to do the work while you "supervise." Did I mention the free beer? j/k

Right now we are looking for a more central place to meet than Chatsworth, where I live. I think somewhere in the east valley around burbank or glendale would be optimal. It's close enough for valley people, feasable for as far out as ontario, and a pretty straight shot for hollywood and LA people. But if we can't find anything around there, the intial meets will be at my place.


But for right now: fix-it meets every Sunday at my place, Lets say around 11:00?

Location:
22332 Lassen St.
Chatsworth, CA 91311
818-274-7673
Park on the street and call me and I'll let you into the driveway.

This is real short notice, so I don't expect anyone to really make it this weekend, but if you want to come out and see the work area (not optimal, but it will do) and chat about what you need done and what resources we have to do it, then you are welcome. Bring tools and parts if you have something that needs fixing. Basically, we will play this by ear for now. I will be working on my car on Sundays regardless if anyone else makes it out. If we just have one or two people show up, then organization will stay informal. If a bunch of people show up, then we will get a list going and pre-plan what jobs we will be doing.

Oh yeah, if you are pretty sure you will make it, it's a good idea to PM me or call so I know to expect you. If I don't hear that you are coming, then don't be surprised if Im not there. But if I do know you are coming I will rearrange my schedule to be there.

BTW, i've invited alltrac.net (thats what I drive), mr2oc, supraforums, and you guys. Anyone else with cool toyotas is welcome as well.

Comments, questions, concerns?

Here's your Friday reminder: Meet at my house 11am Sunday!

Come for the fun, come for the comeraderie, COME FOR THE BEER! Don't worry I'll regulate on that to keep the drinkers away from the power tools!

Few things you could bring if you come out:
1. Portable radio
2. A pressure tester/ bike pump/ air compressor: I need to check my wastegate function and boost gauge function.
3. Timing light
4. As always, tools and parts for what you want fixed.

Also, try to get there right at 11:00 if you come. This isn't like a a parking lot meet where 11:00 means 12:30. We all probably have other stuff we'd like to do with our weekend, so try to get there on time so we can get started, get it done, and go on with our day. If you simply can't make it until later, that's no problem. But if you can be there at 11:00, do.

Okay, hope to see you out there!
