Richmond, VA?? Who's here?

[sethron71]

Hey,
So I just moved here, working in a Daytona Prototype Racing shop! Just wanted to see how the Supra community was here. Back home it was almost nothing!. I don't have my Supra back here yet but it will be after Christmas and then I can take advantage of some of the bad ass stuff the shop has for making sheet metal items and all kinds of things! So pretty excited about it and can't wait to see what the area has to offer!!

Thanks,
Seth Ingham

[akito]

Hey, im about an hour away from where you are. There are a few MK3 owners down in Richmond.

[suprajjang]

[Saavedro88]

We need to set up a decent meet.

[EdgeSupra]

I'm stationed at Norfolk also, I am at HM14. I have seen a few Supras on base. Which one is yours?

[AF1JZ]

And AF1JZ, thats funny because I'm from Jersey but stationed in Virginia, lol.

I only have 9 months left in the AF. That will bring me to 8 years. That is if I decide to get out. I already reenlisted once at my 4 year mark. I just hate being stationed here.

[EdgeSupra]

I'm stationed at Norfolk also, I am at HM14. I have seen a few Supras on base. Which one is yours?

The supra is not in VA yet but will be over christmas when it is finished up! Yea that is my engine bay in the avatar. Well we will definetly have to have a meet sometime soon.

Seth

Ive seen a few nice looking MK3's around but I dont know the owners of any of them. I need to get some pics of my car online, its freshly painted red with black center 18 inch wheels. We should do a hampton roads/Richmond meet sometime.

Mike

[VA7MGE]

im down for a meet. ive seen a couple of mk3's in the area also. i saw a red one with a filipino flag hanging for the rear view mirror, not sure if that persons on these boards or not.

Sethron... didn't even really read your 1st post until now. What Daytona Prototype team? I assume you're a driver by your website?

[VA7MGE]

hey any of you guys in VA ever check it Vadriven.com? it used to be dragVA

[akito]

i do, theres a turbo Mk3 for sale on there, i think the guy wants around 3k. Clean car, that site has a lot of imports-mostly hondas

[suprajjang]

hey any of you guys in VA ever check it Vadriven.com? it used to be dragVA

once in a while there are good things for sale cheap in the parts section but other than that i dont check it

man turns out lots of supra owners in VA than i thought. If too many peoples cars arent down for the winter I think we should all meet up or plan a huge meet for the spring/summer time

[VA7MGE]

im down for a meet in the spring/summer as for this sesaon i will be gone outta the country. visiting the philippines around end of December till mid week January

Jesus this is my first post in 4-5 months....Any ways Forcedfedsupra where do you live in Va Beach. I live right on Rosmont road, neighorhoods between Lynnhaven Pkwy and Holland rd,(Neightborhood next to that Rite Aid/dahlia Rd.) It not like i have the knowledge of how to fix your problems just like to know what other supra owners are next to me.

Hi Sethron, I talked to you about 5-6 months ago and i was suppose to buy one of your stock looking FFIM(I'm the one who wanted to add the Turbo A TB to the FFIM).. At least now you live in VA! If your ever down in the Beach area let me know because this Electrical problem I've been having with this car has pissed me off so bad that i kind a gave up on the car. (also another reason why i backed out of your FFIM and the reason why i have posted in over 6 months) Welcome to VA!!!

Because my car wasnt in running condition, I was able to join local/out of state Tennis tornaments so I've been pretty busy and now that I'm out for the winter league because of my knee injury( tendonitous?! still need to get an MRI Scan) I decided i need to get my car running sometime soon.

Also I've been gone because the IRS was still up my ass about me owing them $8000.00 so i had to get a lawyer, court, etc etc, more BS...Of course I didnt have to pay them, instead paid a small mee of $250.00.

And also been with this girl for a while now so I have had a lot of distractions latley...

Im down for a small meet at wal-mart. I'd love to see who else is in the area.

It was wrecked... and I don't remember if it ever made it down there at all. Regardless, 1-1.5 years ago is impossible... must have been another white one.

It stutters when I touch the throttle and only at operating temp. Everyone tells me it's a boost leak but how would that change with temperature? I really need to figure it out. I am going nuts not being able to drive it.

[oscolivar1]

Try not driving the Supra for over a year!
It was my first car:cry:

[EdgeSupra]

Colin, just re-tale my tales of woe, why don't ya? Hahaha.
No, my white Supra was wrecked the beginning of this year, I'm around in my blue hardtop now. But I think we got lost down your development one time, haha.

PS. Hows it going Pete (Peteremer)? It's Pierce!

Right now the plan is to be running the season but it is pretty dependant on sponsors for our team. I am currently the factory driver so I will be doing all the testing and we will be doing the VIR race for sure as it is the closest race for us! I will run it by my boss about the crew!

If you want to make a trip to Greensboro NC... I might know someone who will sell you a shell for the right price. ;)

[sethron71]

Really?
What all is left in the shell? I am really looking for one with a blown engine or that has been rear end wrecked so the engine bay is pretty much intact as stock. Pretty much all my parts are in the engine bay obviously so as close to stock as possible makes the mock-ups work for everyone!

I hate for this to be such short notice for all the Richmond Guys, but I'm headed up to Starbucks tonight. I never got around to going when it was a supra thing, but I went not too long ago with a WRX friend of mine. If the weather is decent I'd like to go up there tonight....but then again, not if I'm the only MK3 there.

I think it's supposed to rain, but I'll keep an eye on things.

I'll call Scott and Chris and see if they want to come if the weather's nice.

If the weather is decent I'd like to go up there tonight....but then again, not if I'm the only MK3 there.

I think it's supposed to rain, but I'll keep an eye on things.

I'll call Scott and Chris and see if they want to come if the weather's nice.

I might make a run just to see you guys. My supra is a bit messy inside though... Are you sure that JZ can make the run all the way to west broad?

I will be finally be able to be at starbucks this Friday so hopefully I will see you there

[sethron71]

Hey Scott,
Nice meeting you buddy! Your car is sick as shit! You get the clutch adjusted and tested? O and I forgot to mention if you need to put your car on a lift one weekend our shop does have a nice lift which I am sure my supra will make a few trips to!! I may try to bring the car out on Friday. I still have to get the car registered and the whole nine yards.

O and I thought the car had a little sputter but it is just an exhaust leak I am pretty sure now. I am going to do a leak down test tomorrow so see how bad it all is.

Thanks,
Seth

[sethron71]

Hey guys,
Whats a good engine shop around the Richmond area. To have the block work, rods sized, crank polished...ect. Like usual I will be doing all the tear down just need the actual machining done!

Thanks,

[prsrcokr]

Sethron, what about the other car? Are you going to bring it to VA soon?

Good luck with the slave cyl. search Scott, I've had a backorder with Toyota for a while now. I'm using the old one and just patched the boot until one comes in.

Hey man,
I lost this thread for a while LOL. Yea man it was awesome meeting you. I tried the tips you gave me with the TIG and they helped out a bunch. I just spaz out and wire brush everything before I even try to lay a bead.

Good new is I ordered a new clutch, bad news was how much it cost me.:cry:... and that I have to pull the tranny again. :biglaugh:.

I figured the twin disc just needs to be re-seated since it was still slipping after adjustment, but I decided it wouldnt last forever anyways so I went ahead and ordered a quad disc. done w/

They are just 3/16th inch pipe. No big deal.

Hey so is there a way to get temp tags on the supra till I get it registered? I don't know the law in VA but I still have a WA ID not a VA one! So it is getting registered in WA but it takes some time! So if I can get temps I will be there!

There is a way to get something from the DMV. There is a small fee but basically it is used when you buy a car from out of town and need to drive it back to your area. Its only good for a couple days i believe but am not positive on that.

[devil358]

anyone goign to starbucks tommorrow?

If the weather holds out, I would possibly be up there tonight.

dirty car and all :nono:

But then again, they are possibly calling for showers this afternoon and tonight ( at least that's what I heard yesterday morning)

"Increasing clouds today and warm highs in the lower to mid 70s. A small chance for a few showers tonight but a strong developing low pressure system will bring better chances for rain by Saturday afternoon through early Sunday. "

[hottscennessey]

I'm going, I already talked to Devin, but the rest of you should get over there too :)

Hey,
So I just moved here, working in a Daytona Prototype Racing shop! Just wanted to see how the Supra community was here. Back home it was almost nothing!. I don't have my Supra back here yet but it will be after Christmas and then I can take advantage of some of the bad ass stuff the shop has for making sheet metal items and all kinds of things! So pretty excited about it and can't wait to see what the area has to offer!!

Thanks,

[applesauce]

s000pra89T- I live in the Greenbrier area of Chesapeake.

If there is ever a Supra meet im there just post it. I know I should get a phone call from a couple of you guys that I have met if one ever does go down... ( moneypit101, mjtoll23...dudes car is sick)... Which needs to happen so lets stop the yappen...

::w00t::Well whenever the meet goes down I will still be able to make it :biglaugh: ::w00t:: I accepted an internship position in state but i would be more than happy to help arrange the meet if needed.

[s000pra89T]

^Congrats bro!

Yeah, I'm down as well...just need some advanced notice. :sarcasm:

Apple....would love to meet up with you, ForceFed and whoever else that's local beforehand. :bigthumb:

[forcefedsupra]

Alright guys, as soon as I get my new turbo back on and my IC pipes are back from the welder, I will set up a meet.

[suprajjang]

I was just talking with Scot(HotSCen) about a Richmond meet. I thought Richmond might be a good location so that it would not be a long drive for people in northern and southern Virginia. I was at the supra meet that was held at Rockwood Park couple years ago and I thought it was a great success so I was thinking about having one there. We had one of the shelters rented out and had the grill going. I am going to call and find out how much it is to reserve a shelter and I am hoping that maybe all of us can each donate a small amount that can go to reserving the shelter and we can all bring one or two things for lunch. I was also thinking about having a nice cruise so if any of you in Richmond know of any nice routes to take please let me know.
Now onto the big question. Since many of us have full time jobs and plenty of other things going on, when is the best time for everyone and what are some dates that we should avoid.

If anyone has any opinions or have anything else to add let me know!
Thanks

[hottscennessey]

^do you guys prefer Saturdays or Sundays?

[forcefedsupra]

Saturdays, I work on Sundays.

[s000pra89T]

Agreed...I'm down for a Saturday. :icon_bigg

[VA7MGE]

so were pm's sent out about this meet-up? im down to meet other supra owners/enthusiast's

[s000pra89T]

^Neg...still in the thinking stage.

[suprajjang]

Yea I will call later this week to see what the rate is to reserve a shelter but i think its best to have it on a Saturday. As far as dates im thinking about having it in June sometime so is there a Saturday in June that you have something going on and that we should avoid? Let me know

Thanks

[applesauce]

Im down for Sat. or Sun. just let us know.

The car may be in the middle of a project or 2 but I can still drive it.

Maybe like the 1st or 2nd weekend in may. The more time maybe we could get a little more people, who knows.

Then s000pra8T, forcefedsupra, and some of us that stay close could ride up there together since we would be going the same way...

[suprajjang]

The only reason i chose June was to give everyone plenty of time to get ready for the meet. We have one vote for May so what time is best for everyone else?

[forcefedsupra]

May is probably alright but I don't know if my pipes will be done. June might be a good idea so everyone can get their cars ready. I also think it will be cool to ride up in a group. I haven't done that in a while.

[applesauce]

I didn't read the whole tread, my bad. Maybe thats why I hated school...

Im down for June no problem with that.
Us Tidewater Area guys might just all hook up and ride up there together. We have to let others know about this that dont post. So if you know someone just put it in there ear.

[sethron71]

Hey guys,
I would be down for June if mine is back together. The motor is out and about to be torn down for rebuild right now. So mine will be a month or so before back on the road.

Thanks,
Seth

[suprajjang]

Alright I think June seems to be the popular vote. Just incase anyone wants to see the layout of the park i will post a picture. Last time when we had the meet at Rockwood we parked our cars in the parking lot between baseball field #3 and baseball field #5. The baseball fields look alot closer in the pic than it really is. We also had shelter 3 so im thinking about getting the same shelter.
here is the layout of the park

[suprajjang]

Hey Scott which day was the G force meet in June? I want to choose a date so feel free to call me up or pm me

[hottscennessey]

G force is 6/7/08

[nytefire]

I think June is good. I'm hoping the car is done around Mid to end of May so June would be perfect.

Joe

[hottscennessey]

It's looking like the 14th of June if you ask me, guys.

[suprajjang]

ok guys just called the park today. Let me know what you think. Shelter #3 is available on June 14th in the morning and evening. Its $45 to rent the shelter from 9am to 2pm and its also $45 to rent the shelter from 3pm to 8pm. We can also reserve the shelter all day for $85. We we can meet up around 11AM i think that gives us plenty of time to set up the grill and have a cook out for lunch and we can also walk around the parking lot checking out everyones car as well. So what do you guys think? half day or full day?

[s000pra89T]

I'm good with that, half day then cruise to another location?

(Chris, maybe we need a new thread?) LOL :sarcasm:

[suprajjang]

yea let me get all the basics down before i start a new thread. I just didnt want to start a thread with no information in it so now that we are actually getting somewhere i will start one soon once we have the times and activities ready.

Chris

[s000pra89T]

^Rgr that... :icon_bigg

[hottscennessey]

Sounds like a plan, Chris

[suprajjang]

so half day from 9-2?

also give me couple days before i reserve the shelter because i dont have much money left over after my car payments unless people want to contribute:biglaugh:

[sethron71]

Yea get out of my thread....muhahahaha

Well if the car is back up and running I will be there! So sound good to me!

O and JK about the thread but make sure you post when you start a new thread so I can suscribe!

MUHAHAHAHAHAHA ALL UR SUPRAMEEET PLANS ARE BELONG TO ME!

:-) I'd love to come out.

[suprajjang]

Ok I was thinking and came up with 2 ideas. Also the dollar amount would change depending on how many people plan to come out. The more people that come out, the less everyone would have to pay. Plan A is that every person can pay like $2-3 to go to the reserving of the shelter and each person would also bring one thing like buns, burger, drinks, cups, plates etc. Plan B would be that everyone pays around $5 and I would buy all the food and all you would do is have to show up. Please post telling me what to think because I want to go ahead and reserve the shelter ASAP.

If only I was made up of money I would buy everything but along with school tuition and monthly payments i am broke :(
Thanks

im down to picth in and bring something for this meet.

[applesauce]

Im down for both ideas. Making it easy though would be to bring $5, just in case someone is late, can't make it or forgets. (we know u won't forget... Also it would put more work on you... LOL! that's what we all want, he he... anyway you would get all your money back anyway. You could play Stewie from Family Guy "got my money". I will come up early and help you start cooking, I was gonna ride up with the other fellas but im sure they can make it w/o me.

[applesauce]

You could just hit up wally world and buy the basic like hot dogs, burgers, buns, and drinks. If anyone wants Brats, Angus burgers, Steaks, or alcohol they can bring them.

[suprajjang]

ok im goign with the $5 per car idea. Also there can be no alcohol since this is at a public park.


Should we invite the Lexus guys as well?

[forcefedsupra]

I was thinking of inviting a big group of Starlet guys I know.

[s000pra89T]

How about some other old school Toyos?
