some more.......

 

Hey, thats this sat. Hope to see alot of new and old faces there. Don't forget this is a MEET not a car show, so don't be embarassed by your car. You can learn alot from others. They may have parts you need, advice on getting your car running properly, ect...

 

Thank you Vipers for starting this thread, i just have not had enough time.

Yes it is a blast, i love getting together with other fellow rotor heads. the last three meets were awsome, and i hope to have many many more of these.

To elaborate a little on Vipers post, the meets are going to be the FIRST SATURDAY of every month at THE SAME LOCATION of PIRATE CITY TATTOO. The meet time of 9-10 meens SHOW UP BETWEEN 9:A.M. and 10:A.M. after 10 A.M. we might have left to go on a drive. THIS DOES NOT MEAN WE WILL BE DONE AT 10, just means we might not be at the meeeting location anymore. we usually are DONE AROUND 1-2 P.M. but there is no set time. we usually try to end it with lunch, this give us an opportunity to sit down and chat with each other after doing what ever it is that we might have just done.

someone has sugested that mabe every once in a while we should take a trip to the beach and have a BBQ! i think this is a great idea, and we might just have to plan this some time.

as for the DRIVE, if we do a run then I usually try to get everyones cell phone number just in case anyone gets lost, or seporated from the crowd.

as Zero (the newly dubbed "regular") has mentioned, THIS IS NOT A CAR SHOW NOR IS IT A RACE. if your car is not the best looking car in the world, dont worry about it. all us rotor heads know that it takes time to get these things looking good. if your car is not exactly FAST, or you dont like driving FAST, then thats fine, very very rarly do we find our selvs driving "spirited". THE POINT IS TO HANG OUT WITH FELLOW ROTOR HEADS.... THATS IT.

for a little short history:

the fist meet was 4 cars
Speeddemon32
Vipers
Scotty305
Zero

the second meet was 6 cars
Speeddemon32
Vipers
Scotty305
Zero
Riccio
GuitarJunkie

the third meet was 12 cars (9 rotarys) (Zero now becomes a regular)
Speeddemon32
Vipers
Scotty305
Zero
Riccio
RedBaron
FC3Stech
Tr1ggerx1
an unknown
and 3 NON ROTARYS

the fourth meet....???? cars (Riccio should become a regular! I hope!)

anyways i think thats about it for now, as usual if anyone would like to get ahold of us just PM myself, Vipers, or Scotty305.

 

I wish things would go on like this around on the Central Coast.

i think it was scotty305, but either way, we were very interested to become part of the socal rx club..... if you could help us, that would be great

 

I'll have to be in attendance over the summer while I'm in Redlands, it looks like a lot of fun.

 

PM'd you and Scotty305.

-Bern

 

i feel so left out...


yes it was scotty305.

 

hey some of those pictures of the parking lot look like the parking lot for Performance Techniques shop, is it?

 

No that was a place here in San Bernardino that does chasis dynos and tuning. pretty cool place. ill have to take my race car there.

 

The name of that shop is Dyno Works; it looks like they are SRT-4 experts: http://dyno-works.com/

There is also a turbocharger shop right next door, I think the name was Commercial Turbocharger, the yellow pages lists them as being on the same street.

-s-

 

Yes they are there too, just a couple of doors down. They do good work.

 

HAHAH i knew it!!!!

yea they do good work there, i got my turbo rebuilt there, if u go ask for TOM, hes a very coool guy.

 

Ya I know Jamie, also and Al sr. too. They are cool guys. They did some work on my T-78

thats my car

 

I hope I can make it. I'm having trouble with my transmission, cant get into 1st without force. I'm going to replace the slave and master cylinders as soon as the parts arrive. Should be here by 4:30 today so hopefully that will solve my problem, so I can make the meet.

 

hey..... you know... even if your car cant make it, you should still come...... we could arrange for someone to come get you.... its not a problem (maybe someone with a 4 seater.......... hhhhmmmmmm, who here has a 4 seater........) lol..... we could figure something out............ hope you get your car fixed........ your a regular now, so try to be there!!!

 

yeah dude, you got my number, let me know.

Vipers do we have an extra tranny laying around. for some reason i am thinking we do..... hmmmmm...... i dont know, we will have to check. (no i am just curious)
Vipers, you need to see the pictures i got developed from last meet, some turned out pretty cool. for some reason though 90% of the pictures are of my car. wonder how that happend?
there is one good picture though of us hanging around gawking at red barons 3rd gen. ill bring them to the meet with me saturday.
anyways, talk to you all saturday!

 

No problem, should only take a few hours to swap the parts. In fact the car is still drivable. If I shift into 1st right before the car stops it goes in no problem, but when I'm at a complete stop thats when the trouble begins. If these parts don't cure the problem than maybe someone at the meet can drive my car and give their $.02. If it gets worse then I will have to bum a ride.

 

well... at least its just first.... speeddemon and i have gone through about 8 trannys between us, and at one point, i think i had a tranny that was "missing" 1-3-5 gear...... caseys had to synchro shift his rx home due to a broken slave cylinder..... and we have noumerous more stories.... oh..... and my gtu tranny........ the only way to get it into reverse was to put it through ALL other gears first... 1-2-3-4-5-then reverse...... that was the only way to get it into reverse!! kinda funny!! anyways.... good luck

 

yeah no problem, we will take a look at your car at the meet tomorrow if you can bring it. you have my number right. give me a call if you need anything.

 

well....... i got my car impounded last night....... i went to redlands wal-mart at about 10:30pm, and when i walked out of wal-mart, there was a police car sitting next to my car........ WTF....... so i go to see why hes there, he said i have expired tags (which is true, but the registration was paid..... just needed smog)...... well, 2 hours later and 2 squad cars, 1 highway patrol car, and 8 cops later.... my car got impounded....... they searched my car, checked all vin codes, wrote down the serial # to my motor..... then gave me a ticket for "altered smog"...... this fu$@ing cop was trying to write me up for everything in the book.... he even wrote me up for no insurance without even asking if i had it........ which i did (he did take that one off).....
well, she is back in my custody after $300 and one hell-of-a long morning!!! the tow yard even told me they have never seen a cop act that way about a car!!! the cop was still "researching" the car at the tow yard!!!!!

all i have to say is STAY AWAY FROM REDLANDS!!!!!!!! the cop said they are doing a major "crack-down" on modified cars!!!
