Hi guys. I don't post much in this section, but I was wondering if anyone was interested in meeting up sometime in the Grand Rapids, Michigan area. Maybe a barbeque or something?

I work a lot, and with the wife and kids I have a tough time getting out of state for the big meets. Let me know if anybody's interested and we'll set something up. Thanks...

 

Hey there, I'm also in Grand Rapids. I'd be up for a meet sometime. But I kinda have to get my car running first. I should get my engine the middle of next week. From there, who knows

 

I don't have a lot of time, but would like to visit. Burlingame Dairy Dip anyone?

 

I'd like to see if anyone else is interested, then we'll set something up. I live 1/2 block from Lamar Park, so I was thinking about a Saturday BBQ or something. A dairy dip could work too, though...

 

I'd be up for a saturday meet. BBQ, ice cream, whatever

 

Alright! That's four of us so far..... A guy at work says there is a large family in Holland that is into 7s. They've got like 8 or 10 of them, but don't have computers so they're not into the forum scene. I'll try to see if they're interested too...

 

I bet I could get another 5 from SW lower MI. Myself from BC (FB). Mike from Kzoo (FB). Luke from BC (TII). Mark from Plainwell (FC). Well I forget the other kids name. But yea I'd be game for it.

 

Don't forget about Finky there in GR. He has one of each generation now.

 

No laughing at my rust. Ugly but fast inn '05. Anybody know of a cheap gxl body? Mine is going away quickly.

 

How 'bout we shoot for something mid-June. Just gimme an idea what date(s) work for you and I can pretty much work around any weekend date.

If anyone's coming in from out of town, I have a huge yard perfect for camping if interested. The only thing I'm short on is parking. However, there is a company that backs up against my yard and I can probably get permission to use their lot if needed (depending on number of people interested).

So let me know what date will work and we can go from there..

 

How's June 25th sound?

 

25th should work for me. Gives me plenty of time to make sure the FB will run fine and make the trip from Battle Creek. Oh and no laughing at my multi colored panels.

 

sounds alright to me. my original goal was july 4th (im registered in the west michigan honda meet at gingerman) but i think i will be ready by then.

i got my engine today, for anyone who cared

 

when are you going to install your engine?

 

You won't be the only one. I have primer spots on mine and the horrible paint job is slowly cracking and peeling all over. There interesting thing is I can see where the car has the most stress at because of the stress cracking in the paint! I need to just take a long weekend, better a week, and strip it down (take all removable body panels off too) and spray it.

I was hoping to have the second FB on the road by then too but I think it will miss that one. I'll shoot for having them both out at the next meet, or at the Lansing meet, the latest. They'll be twins for a little bit, except I think I have the ugly twin (damn paint) although mine has the LSD

June 25th is good for me.

 

your primer is better than the holes I have. I need a bulk shipment of bondo. if it doesnt crack in 2 I'll be alright.
No, really, the summer wheels and tires make all better.

 

I started tearing everything down the yesterday. I should be able to get it out this weekend and maybe drop the new one in. I think the thing that will hold me up is the exhaust. I haven't ordered it yet and the stock system is beyond rusted out. I also have to drive 2 hours to Ypsilanti to get a front bumper and stuff.

I'll keep you guys updated though. I'll be looking forward to meeting some Mazda guys. I meet pretty regular with some Honda buddies, but I need to see some new cars

 

Add another to the GR meet. All I need is a little notice.

 

I moved to kzoo, hello to everyone,
anyone else here in kzoo/portage area?
I am around milham and 12th st.

OK guys. Let me know who's up for June 25th (Saturday). Probably around 2pm.

We can meet at Lamar Park and do a BBQ (bring what you want to grill). If we want to do a cruise or something we can set that up too.

Just give me an idea of how many want to come, and what you'd be looking to do. Mostly I just want to meet everybody in the area and swap some ideas around (not to mention eat some good food!)...

 

I should be in...

 

I'll be there. Same as you, just a meet n' greet and talk shop plus eat some good BBQ

 

Here's a Mapquest link for a map of the area...

I know of two rexes in Kzoo. Piranha in this forum lives in Kzoo. I might come out for June 25th.

 

I would come, despite being completely 7-less, but that's right around my wife's due date so I might be a wee bit busy.
