Golden Gardens Meet maybe?

[91T breezen']

Hey there all Seattle/Tacoma/Everett Supra (MkIII) owners, now that the weather is getting more Supra friendly, we should try to get a small informal meet together at either GG's or a similar park in the metropolitan area together! I, personally can't wait till August for the next Supra meet! Maybe something at XXX in Issaquah? Lets hear some idea's.:icon_bigg

[kwnate]

Golden gardens sounds good! Hopefully I'm up and running, at least breaking it in... I'm down!

[89Turbo]

how long of a drive from P-town averaging 80-90mph?

[kwnate]

Golden Gardens is in NW Seattle.

[americanjebus]

when? i need a few weeks advance due to job's and multiple requests for days off, set a date and a place and i'll make the drive over. I need some highway time i been in school too long.

[91T breezen']

Man, it would be worth the price of admission to see that beast you're building finally out tearin' it up! I was thinking the end of this month or sooner, depending on how many people we can get to commit to it. I know there are quite a few MkII owners with running cars out there, just finding a date where everyone can show up is the challenge. I think we should meet at XXX, inn Issaquah (great burgers!) Hang out and look over the Supra's, and then head out to Golden Gardens for a cruise.:naughty: I personally would like to try for Saturday, 24th, or Sunday 25th. lets keep this thread rollin', and keep kickin' the ideas around.:icon_bigg

[kwnate]

The XXX idea sounds good, but you know the following weekend Jul 1 or 2 there is an all toyota meet/car show at XXX?

Cruisin out to golden gardens would be alright too. If my car isn't ready I could always bring the SS and show you what its got ;)

[91T breezen']

Oh yeah, that's right. I completely forgot about the PSTOC, or whatever they call that stereo show!:biglaugh: I have no desire to be anywhere near that, so I guess we'll shoot for the 24th, or 25th.

[americanjebus]

its an ok show but not my taste, last bbq i showed up for me and nate just played basketball through their entire awards ceremony.

my b-day's the 30th of this month:naughty: that'd a perfect weekend but if we have to do it before that that'd work too.

[Disced]

I would be able to make it if I can figure out how to mount my damn FMIC.

I have been staring at it for approx. 3 days and just can't figure out how in the hell I am going to mount it....

I'm hoping by this Sunday though I should ahve all my new stuff done; still need to pick up a good ct26 though since the deathwhine is killing my chi.

[americanjebus]

We should just have meets this summer to help people out like ^ this guy, instead of us standing arround talking about what we want to do why dont we have a meet and get something done? I'm running out of money to put in more wrench time on my car so why not help someone else?

[87_7MGTE]

Im down to meet anywhere anytime. Just got my car done so im good to go!

Luis;
I'm not sure that is something Kyle could bring with him to the meet, and someone could install it.:icon_conf I'm sure he'll figure it out, and will probably be there. I think he's just venting some frustration, and maybe fishing for someone to say, "I'll come over and help you". If I was more of a mechanic type I'd help him, but he doesn't want my help!:aigo: :biglaugh: All I can do is bolt stuff on! Any kind of fabrication work, and I'm out in left field!:icon_razz

If we were to have a meet, it would have to be at my parents house, as that is where the car is stranded.

I need to install the FMIC and FFIM, then after I finally fab brackets up for the FMIC I need to reinstall all of the brackets/hood latch(correctly) And then try and fit my piping....

However;

If anyone feels like they do want to help and you are free tomorrow afternoon, you could always give me a call @ 425-299-7564 (name Kyle)

I live in Lynnwood, about 5 minutes off the freeway. I'm awesome @ giving directions since I deliver pizza(for about 3 years now).

That is Sunday afternoon I will be working on it..

From about 3:00PM to until it gets dark..

Oh, and thats rain or shine.

[Disced]

Here are some pictures of the FMIC top mounted, I have yet to make the bottom brackets but it's in there VERY tight.

http://www1.snapfish.com/thumbnailshare/AlbumID=44323999/a=54326203/t_=54326203

They are very dark pictures... As I just got done making the brackets, finding the correct bolts, and fitting them up.

I made a total of 6 brackets before I got it right... :lol:

Oh well; it's mounted for the time being.

Now if only I could get ahold of Seth.

If anyone has his #, could you plz PM me it.. I need to get ahold of him if I have any chance of finishing tomorrow.

Yes, that was me dude. Welcome to the forum! This meet is just somethin' I thought up, just to get out and roll with some MkIII peeps, w/o the MkIV folks mean-muggin' us "low budget" types!:biglaugh: If the weather is good, and someone has a good video camera, we might be able to shoot something forum worthy. Maybe a good DDP pass through the I90 tunnels.:naughty:Always good to represent one of the worlds finest auto's, in numbers.:icon_bigg Looking to try and get this together the weekend of the 24th/25th, whichever day can bring more cars.

[americanjebus]

i'll give it some good effort to try and have that weekend free. Start a new job next week so i dont know how they are about picking days off.

hope to see some supras soon though!

I think were going to have to see a better response than who has already posted, to justify a meet. Looks like it's about 4 0r 5 Supra's right now. I'd like to see about twice that many. But, regardless of how many reply, I'm planning on doing the day anyways, and hoping for the best. I think about a 11:00am-12:00pm meet up at XXX. Grub, and hang out for awhile, then hit the road for GG, via I-90 across the lake. Feel free to suggest anything else anyone might have in mind.:icon_razz

[7down-7m]

i dont know what or where gg or xxx is so i would b kinda lost and i ran into a couple supras tonight up on south hill that are down to go i told them about it but shit if i can find it i will most definately b there and n e advice that n e one has for a car/supra rookie would help i know nothing about them at all. . .

[Selz202]

I wish my supra was running or id be down for a cruise... What is golden gardens anways?... if you guys invited the supraforums guys im sure your get some more response, Steve T is almost always down for a issaquah meet it seems...

Golden Gardens is just a nice Washington state beachfront park.:icon_razz It has bbq grills, picnic tables and whatnot, also a large parking lot. Unfortunately, it is usually very crowded, but everywhere is crowded nowdays! I know Steve is a great Supra guy, and a nice guy to boot, however he is a MkIV owner. I really wanted this just to be MkIII cars only. I've heard other MkIII owners say that they would go to more meets, if the "stuck up" MkIV guys weren't there. There are plenty of cool ones (owners) but some MkIII peeps are uncomfortable because there cars are a "little rough around the edges". I'm not trying to devide the community, just trying to get a few MkIII's out together, without feeling overshadowed by $40,000-$70,000 Supra's:aigo:

[7down-7m]

shit im down

[Selz202]

I can agree with that.

[7down-7m]

so breezin would me and u b able to meet up and i follow u there? considering we both live in milton.

[91T breezen']

Absolutely!:icon_bigg I just saw another black 91-92 Supra last night down by Valley/Meridian Ave. in Puyallup last night, but I was in my work truck, and couldn't chase him down to talk to him.:icon_frow Very clean car w/ gunmetal stock 5 spokers. If you know anyone else that wants to mob out, by all means let them know about our plans. It looks like Sunday (25th) is going to be the better day for me.:icon_razz

[Disced]

HohOhoHO~

All I need to do is bolt up the intake mani/ISC/fit throttle cable up, and then cut/fit the piping from FMIC to FFIM and I will be ready.. Probably like... well sounds like 2 hours of work but knowing my skills probably a good 5-6 solid hours of putting everything back together before it's driveable.

So I would put that at about Sunday; however that time isn't good for me as my wife doesn't leave for work until 3:30.. I'll see what I can get out of her!

[7down-7m]

damn that was karl that u ran into i met him the other day but shitty about sunday i work from 8-4 so that kinda sux but only bad part about it, is that it is an auto trans its a 91 and im sure he would b down he is on supraforums.com his name is suprapimp91 or something like that

[91T breezen']

We could still do Saturday, I'll have to wait to see how many more people respond at all. Right now it looks like about 5 of us. I was hoping to get to 10. I think I'll put up a drop dead day of Wednesday the 21st. Even if I can't get 10 people to fully commit, and the weather is nice(?):aigo: I'm still going to head out on some sort of drive!
Karl's problem with the car being an Auto is fixable! Mine used to be. There is also a TH 400 swap kit available now too.

[7down-7m]

i have no idea what ur talkin about when u talk about that engine kinda shit!

[kwnate]

Saturday or Sunday. Saturday is better for me. I'll go either day though.

[americanjebus]

i have no idea what ur talkin about when u talk about that engine kinda shit!

he's talking about a GM transmission that comes with an adapter for our cars, bassically an auto that can handle tons more hp than a stock toy auto. Hang out here long enough you'll be typing in code like the FFIM guys and BHG gurus with their RK and their SAFC with FCD equiped Supes

tom: i am still 50/50 on wether or not i will be able to go, if we do this sat i will go solo, but if we go sunday my dad is saying he wants to come allong so i can drive him to the dealerships to find a truck. That means i have to deal with about 8 hours of "your driving to fast!" "slow down", "your going to break your differential if you keep hitting 3k rpm!", if i bring him we can show him what it takes to break our cars:icon_evil

[7down-7m]

yea i think that might take a while

[91T breezen']

Well my job just decided for me. Sunday is going to be the better day for me, as I will probably have to work again next Saturday, like I am tonight.:icon_mad: I will make the decision on whether to call it any kind of meet, on Wednesday. I'd sure like to see more interest than what has been shown, but, just being able to see Nate's beast,(Supra only Nate!:biglaugh:) it'd be worth driving anywhere for!

[Joel W.]

The 18th or the 25th?

[91T breezen']

The 18th or the 25th?

There you are! The 25th. Like I said, if we can scrape together a few more, it would be a nice turnout. I have been seeing alot of MkIII's out and about recently. Ant time I'm in my Supra, I will usually follow them and find out if they know about the forums.

[kwnate]

I'd sure like to see more interest than what has been shown, but, just being able to see Nate's beast,(Supra only Nate!:biglaugh:) You're not scared of the SS are you ;)

Looks like Sunday will be better for me anyhow. I'm thinking it'll fire up for the first time next Saturday. If it doesn't, then I'll probably be working on it Sunday too :aigo: It will be done for Suprafest for sure though :bigthumb:

[7down-7m]

shitty u guys i work on sunday so i am afraid i will once again have to pass up my first supra meet

[Hecubus]

If I am in town...I'll be there.:icon_bigg

[91T breezen']

Well, this is not looking too good, as far as car count goes.:3d_frown: Still up for some kind of cruising, but I don't know if we could attach a "Supra meet" tag to it. I plan on being up at the Federal Way Costco, (on Enchanted Parkway) at about noon Sunday. If any other Supra's show up by 12:30 we'll take off for Issaquah via Hwy 18, and then the Issaquah-Hobart road route.:naughty:The weather is supposed to be awesome, so let's get those Sup's out there!:icon_razz

[americanjebus]

If this meet falls through and i still end up being able to make it wanna join me after the meet and look at this thing?

http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?t=21087

[kylefoto]

I'm down for a meet, guys.
I need to get a new job though first, I work weekend nights and it shuts down pretty much anything I want to do.

[91T breezen']

Okay, as far I'm concerned, this thing is on!!!:icon_bigg I'm now going to start a list of who plans on being there. I will be up at the Federal Way Costco parking lot @ noon. It's on Enchanted Parkway, off of exit 142A. I will wait till about 1:00pm, then roll.
Here's the list of who is going for sure:

1. 91T breezen' (91 Turbo...duh! 3H8, Burgundy Pearl Metallic)

[Joel W.]

I don't think I will be able to make it this weekend, but I will try.

[Jaguar_5]

Sounds like fun! But theres no way i'm keepin up with you guys in my beater N/A lol... god i wish my turbo supra was running

And i'm working all day sunday... but what if i got that day off... hmm, supra meet, or money for supra lol

[kwnate]

1. 91T breezen' (91 Turbo...duh! 3H8, Burgundy Pearl Metallic)

If you get the day off, don't worry about keeping up with anyone, Nate will be taking it easy, he's breaking in his new motor.:icon_razz Just come along, and bear witness to one of the "baddest" Pac NW Mk III's you will ever see!:icon_bigg (Nate's car, that is!!!):biglaugh:

[91T breezen']

Great!:aigo: ...I just found out the "gay pride" celebrations are this weekend in Seattle... what more can be said. Could put a damper on a GG roll in. I will still be up @ XXX about 1:00-1:30pm on Sunday though.

[upgradedsupra]

I just found out the "gay pride!" celebrations are this weekend in Seattle... what more can be said. I am going to that!!!! :naughty:

So you are you wanting to go to that? ... We understand fully LOL

Duane

[kwnate]

Isn't there a gay pride celebration every weekend in Seattle?

[91T breezen']

So you are you wanting to go to that? ... We understand fully LOL

Duane

Looks like a case of another moderator taking un-warranted liberties with his authority!:biglaugh:

[Jaguar_5]

lol, i feel like it's gay pride where i work (restaraunt near capital hill, 'nuff said)

But i managed to get the day off!! So looks like i'm in! Better get that car runnin nate!

So lemme get this straight, the meet is at XXX at 1? I don't think i'm gonna want to meet @ federal way costco beforehand, thats a little far for my taste hehe

[91T breezen']

So lemme get this straight, the meet is at XXX at 1? I don't think i'm gonna want to meet @ federal way costco beforehand, thats a little far for my taste hehe

Yep. I will be @ XXX, about 1:30 or so. List should be updated later on today, but it looks like seven, maybe eight cars. The main attraction of course, will be Nate's beast!:boink: :bowdown: Boosting, will be at a minimum, to stay together on the way to Seattle...got to take it easy on that new motor of his!:icon_razz

I should know one way or another tonite.

[kwnate]

One more thing for people coming from the north. I-405 is closed in kirkland in both directions all weekend. Take I-5 to I-90.

[Jaguar_5]

Hehe so everyones gonna be boosting away, trailed by the slow n/a and the beast being broken in? lol!

The fed. way costco thing threw me off... so after some lunch @ XXX we cruise to golden gardens? This is gonna be my first supra 'meet' looking forward to seeing you guys in person! We should possibly update the list with car / color, so we know a little better what to look for... though it'll be hard to miss all the MKIII's!

I'm gonna be in a white n/a

[americanjebus]

Hate to say it but my plans just got dematerialized, to much crap going on this weekend for me to take off so im not going to be able to make it to this, next time when my car is worth showing i'll make the drive.

[91T breezen']

Well, your car is always worthy! And besides, it wasn't to show, just to hang out. But, it doesn't matter anyways, because I'm pulling the plug on the whole thing. Seems that there is a huge car show in Issaquah tommorow, that will have all of Front St. closed down from 8:00am-4:00pm. I tried to keep this thing rolling, but too many people have other plans, or couldn't free themselves from the grips of the j o bee!:nono: Well, there's always the Supra Fest in Aug. to look forward to!:love:
My cell # is (253)732-1872, if any one still wants to try and meet up for some kind of cruising. Later in the afternoon would be better for me.
Sorry for letting this thing fall apart:cry:
Tom

[Disced]

Tom; like I said I'm still having a couple issues with my setup.

I started her up today and actually drove up my street; then drove down it; tried to boost hard in second gear after it was nice and warmed up and blew a damn IC pipe off!

Also; the TPS isn't quite fitting right... So i'm not sure what I'm going to do about that... Possibly buy some sheet metal and customize it in order to let the TPS sit flush with the mounting spot since right now the TPS doesn't even touch the flange.

And I may also be going with a new cable instead of the whole linkage setup as it has just been the biggest pain in the ass... Hopefully the wife will let me escape for a couple of hours to see what I can come up with.

Shitty about the meet; but suprafest is going to be sick..

If only I had a nice upgraded CT and stage 3 clutch so I could put down 450 HP... =x

[Jaguar_5]

Oh man, thats a real shame :( i have sunday off and everything...
I might be callin ya to cruise... or i could prep and paint more supra parts... hmmm

Also too bad Suprafest is a little out of budget for me, the hotel, gas, food, and entertainment fund would be much better spent on a bigger turbo or something, almost a shame running a CT-26 on a fully ARP + cometic build (i'm expecting to eventually hit 450 horses with this setup, but its gonna be awhile... still gotta get the beast running before i do any major upgrades, i'm planning on starting with a DDP and 3" catback though, next step will be MAFT-pro for boost control and speed/density)

TomThats more gay then the gay pride celebration. So gay...

[Jaguar_5]

So nate, is your car running? =)

[91T breezen']

Thats more gay then the gay pride celebration. So gay...

Ha, Ha! I guess you have to be more important than I am, to organize a Supra Meet!:aigo: If it was you Nate, we'd had 20+ MkIII's show up probably!:icon_razz Oh well, I'm saving gas $ for something else, maybe(?):icon_conf

[Jaguar_5]

Now i gotta figure out what i'm gonna do with myself today...
We have to try and plan a meet like this again though... i don't care if only 3-4 supras show up, i already bought a new memory card for my camera, expecting to use it today =P

[kwnate]

I'm just waiting for a phone call... So I can go start my car :aigo: Maybe I'll just take a nap.

[Jaguar_5]

If you give me your number i can have that arranged ;)

Anyways i brought some finished pieces (block, 3000 pipe, upper and lower intake manifold) that are shiny black :) Pics later today in the build ups section

Lovin the weather today!!!!
80+ in the shade :)
