Midwest Meet v3- Sept. 24th, 2011., The Secret Meeting Spot. Options

[Bitter]

Yea, I was planning on it. Ass end is soo loose around 71 though, it really makes it not fun. bad rear struts+stiff sway bar=desire to pivot and snap over steer. I'm save for coil overs and I have a full bushing set, going to pick up a front sway and might change to hp plus front pads and hps rear. Since I don't daily drive it that much now some brake noise won't bother me...and I know how to silence it pretty well too. The wagner ceramic rear pads don't seem to keep the rotor faces clean at all, I have rust glaze on them. A few hard stops seems to clear it up but since the fronts are so much more aggressive a pad a stop hard enough to get the rears cleaned up is also a stop hard enough to just about pop my eyes out of my head. 7th gen stock brakes are pretty good....I can stop hard enough and fast enough to make myself a little dizzy from the negative G's.

One time I was doing just that and looked over to see a family of racoons looking at me. Was pretty funny, we just locked eyes as I passed by. I think I scared them a little.

Sound good to everyone?

Let's get a list started.

1.) bloodMoney and GF
2.) Richee3 and GOVEG
3.) sixgentoyota and GF

I'm glad I'm going by GOVEG now... lol

[bloodMoney]

So sue me, I was too lazy to look up your screen name...

I know that you couldn't fit Celisaurus on a plate so whatever

[Celisauras16]

I still wish I had gotten RAWR16 as my licence plate instead lol I might change it in time.

and to fitting doors in a celica, you can only fit one. (atleast i could only fit one) if you show up with 2 in there, i will be VERY impressed.

[richee3]

I also have a sound system and a battery relocation in the trunk. I could make it work though. I think the seats will be harder than the doors. Fortunately, I have an extra Celi to practice with before the big day.

[Bitter]

tie them to the roof.

[richee3]

It'll be easy if I remove the backrests from the bottom part of the front seats. So what's the plan for the meet? Hiking somewhere new? Should I be prepared to provide more piggyback rides? I will bring a change pouch if so. And duct tape my sandals to my feet.

[bloodMoney]

Jordan wants to try some trails that are closer to the shelter, so I'm leaving that one in his court.

But the short answer is yes.

[Zake]

the trails on the other side of the road is pretty cool, i walked them last spring. with those trails, its possible to not get your feet wet. (some jumping may be required)

[Bitter]

whatever you guys want to do is fine by me, just thought we've all pretty much done the river at mattheisein, so a change of pace.

[richee3]

That works for us. Nothing wrong with a change of pace.

[Bitter]

Posted the thread on new-celica....no interest yet.

[richee3]

Any interest yet, Jordan? I updated the first post to reflect the details of the meet- where, when, etc.

[Bitter]

2 bites.

You may want to fix your google link, it's showing a country club in Kansas....

Here's the correct location

[richee3]

Wait, you mean the meet ISN'T in Kansas?!?? That explains a lot... I was wondering why I was the only one at the last meet. And why it was held in a cow pasture.

I just copy/pasted that link from the Facebook page. Link fixed.

[Zake]

facebook link goes to the shelter for me.
