Will I have the only 7th gen?

So what usually goes down at a 6th gen meet? Eat, bull****, and check out cars?

Bitter usually shows up in his GT-S but he might bring his Mazda this time. We usually meet up, eat, exchange stories, do a photoshoot, then we go for a cruise and go hiking. It's always a good time.

Bitter usually shows up in his GT-S and toots his horn, then goes and proceeds to scare the daylights out of someone by putting it on 3 wheels around a corner, but he might bring his Mazda this time.

I don't know what car I'll take. Depends how I'm feeling that day and what the weather is like. GTS needs coils, bushings, and tires. Spring/summer purchases/installations. Just need to get off my lazy ass and tear things apart for the bushings...and buy the coils.

Bitter... Where have you been on NC.org? We have a Wisconsin Dells meet that's going to go on in May.

As of right now it's safe to say Sammi and I will be there. Last year it fell on our anniversary vacation,. Only thing that may stop us is if we buy our new place before then. so I'm gonna say we're 90% sure to be there.

Eh, just haven't been on. Car is stored for winter and there's not much going on with that site that interests me.

I'll be there. sorry i didnt think that this thread would be up so soon XD. i probably wont have the celica by then. i had planned to buy my sisters stratus coupe, but she doesnt want to sell it now.. im thinking of getting a new car next month, but either way i will be there.

What year strat coupe? Please god not one with a 2.7 V6. Hopefully an 00-05 which is a Mitsubishi product that I know just a wee bit about.

If your car was a 5 speed, I'd ditch my new 7th gen and buy yours for sure. Then again, if it was a 5 speed you probably wouldn't be selling it, right? I totally have a spare S54 in my garage... Just saying.

There will still be a parts swap at this meet- I'm bringing a pair of doors and some shop lights for Chris.

When I get time later today, I'll start making an official attendance list.

[manda]

just throwing it out there... but not getting my hopes up just yet.... I may very well have Fury back by this.

[richee3]

You better!

[Zake]

you got a 7th gen? o.o if you have a 5-speed trans.. you should buy it just had the driverside front wheel bearing replaced and the coolant and trans fluid flushed.

[richee3]

Yeah, I got a 7th gen but it's a beater. I have the trans and shift cables but those are for sale. I don't have anything else that I would need for the manual conversion. Otherwise I'd be seriously interested.

[Bitter]

It occurs to me, I think, and I could be wrong, but I think the S54 bolts to the 2ZZ. I know the C series do, as does the E153, so since the E153 bolts to the 2ZZ and the S54 bolts to the 3S/5S and the E153 bolts to the 3S, the S54 bolts to the 2ZZ. No clue about axles and shift cables.

[manda]

You better!

It's kind of an up in the air thing... Hopefully it will work out, but it may not. I'm not counting on having her back until summer, but I'm hoping I'll have her mid march if everything goes right.

Regardless if I have Fury or not, I'll be there. I'll just rent a car to get there if need be

[navseal345]

Hmm. It's a 6 hour drive for me.. Very tempting lol.

Do it. Several of us, myself included, drive that far for the meet every time and it's always worth it. I think navseal is from Nebraska as well and he's made it a couple of times, maybe you guys could caravan in together.

WOOT! Another from NE!

[navseal345]

Also, since the BEAMS is up to 100%, I'm up for the gas mileage challenge again.

Now I know I wont win this contest, damn. I might have to lower my car more, tape up the body lines and head lights.

[richee3]

Hopefully Amanda can get Fury back on the road. Are we hiking at Matthiessen State Park again or somewhere different? It'd be cool if we could get a video compilation of this meet thrown together, but I'm not volunteering... I'm not much good with a camera and useless when it comes to editing.
