I'm in for a meet. I am in Arlington quite a bit, as my fiance has family there. Although I may not bring the Supra (she's..umm...down), I will definitely show up. Just give me a time and a place.

Looking to do something next weekend in The Colony... check out my help needed thread. Food & beer, $, (exchanged for some help).

We all need to get around to helping each other out and getting ready now to show up strong in Houston for TX2K8.

I am a little further out, I go to college in Longview Tx. I have a 1jz in a 87 NA chassis. I currently don't have any more money to get it titled/inspected/licensed. I am from Wisconsin so I don't even know what inspection covers...

I did the whole 1JZ swap myself. I am not an expert, but if someone is doing a swap and needs some help write me a PM.

Texas Inspection covers tint, wipers, tire tread, lights all around, brake test, E-brake test, it cant have any fluid leaks from the master cylinder or brake lines, cant have any exhaust leaks, must have cats, They connect it to a computer to check some stuff, MIL light cant be on(check engine light) and the computer will know if you disconnected a cable from the battery so dont try it if it on, gas cap has to pass a pressure test, and since your car is an '87 it will have to take an ASM test(put on a dyno). On there they will run it at 15 mph and at 25 mph for 90 sec while they connect this tube thing to your exhaust to check your emissions. It will cost you 39.75(set by the state) and you will need a green sheet to register your car in texas. Im a Texas Certified Inspector, thank you very much!!! :naughty:

Nobody's organized an actual "meet" in the DFW area in a long time. I go out to the Londoner on Wednesday every once in a while and I'm local to a few supra guys. No real regular official meets, though.

I'm in Denton, btw
