I rode by the kroger at 9:30 last night and no one was to be found.

Thats because everyone was @ the V.

That meet was last thursday, and with the exception of V meets they are there every Thursday...it's a small meet but good to talk to people and BS a little. Wouldn't take much to make it big though:police:

Nerdsrock22

r0bb86
07-10-2008, 08:40 AM
I had some GT-C's on my EP :goodjob: then I got some TE-37's.

All in time, allll in time. You gonna come see them tonight at the K-Roger?

r0bb86

Nerdsrock22

Nerdsrock22
07-10-2008, 09:48 AM
Palmetto Meet!!!!

Dude I'll wash the Evo. LMK.

*jokes but would be ecstatic if you said yes*

Prolly the place down by the Chev. Where the infamous "Subway Event" took place.

EDIT: wait is there even a car wash down there??

Nerdsrock22
07-10-2008, 09:50 AM

The South ATL proving ground.

r0bb86
07-10-2008, 09:52 AM
There's a car wash on the other side by the Shell (I think its a Shell gas station) but I believe its the hand-less drive-through style.

There's another one right in the smack of downtown palmetto but you can only access it from a side road. Its right by a package store. close to the Dollar General.

LMK what time your going to wash urs - maybe I'll come and wash mine.

Nerdsrock22
07-10-2008, 09:55 AM
yeah that one by Bradley's Big Buy. We can wash our cars and chew on fresh pork chitterlings at the same time. I'll be at Palmetto Baptist till bout 7:30 or so, and I gotta run to the folks house to pick up some stuff. Maybe round 8 or so?

OaTmeaL

h23bb2
07-10-2008, 01:20 PM

Nerdsrock22
07-10-2008, 01:21 PM

I need to pick up some groceries anyway.

r0bb86
07-10-2008, 01:47 PM
Just poured here close to downtown Newnan.
Depending on what the weather looks like I'll still show.

Gotta see - another guy is interested in my wheels.

Homer Simpson
07-10-2008, 02:52 PM
Volk GT-Cs.

a willd guess!

Nerdsrock22
07-10-2008, 02:59 PM

r0bb86
07-10-2008, 03:00 PM
Somebody wants to buy your stock evo wheels?
Nah - traded in the IX MR w/ the stock BBS's.
Someone wants to buy the Rota Boosts I had on for a short-time.

Nerdsrock22
07-10-2008, 03:07 PM
gotcha. i reckon you sold the volks on the EP?

Homer Simpson
07-10-2008, 03:09 PM

:eek: I'll seee them tonnight!

r0bb86
07-10-2008, 03:22 PM
gotcha. i reckon you sold the volks on the EP?
Yep - GT-C's went to California (also went on a VBP EP).
Bronze TE-37's, went to a guy in Alabama (think he had a Talon).
Matte Black TE-37's I had on the Evo IX .. I sold to a guy from TN.

I'll probably get some diamond black te-37's for the X.
The orange or green te-37's - pimpness!

1.8turbin75
07-10-2008, 03:23 PM
Well it stopped raining! 9Pm looks like a good time. My girls Honda is not running good so she took my dub to work. I will be rolling in the 91 accord. I might have to push it if it acts up but i will be their.

Nerdsrock22
07-10-2008, 03:28 PM
I'll probably get some diamond black te-37's for the X.
The orange or green te-37's - pimpness!

Right because Evo's are all over the place in Palmetto. You would definetely need to set yours apart with green wheels.


but I'd still buy them.:goodjob:

r0bb86
07-10-2008, 03:41 PM
See.. these look cool.
http://www.speedelement.com/images/volk/te37_orange3.jpg

http://www.speedelement.com/images/volk/te37_tgreen2.jpg

But I'll most likely get these...

http://www.speedelement.com/images/volk/te37_db2.jpg

Just gotta sell my damn bike.

Are you still planning to go wash your car?

Nerdsrock22
07-10-2008, 03:51 PM
yeah man. you still up for it?

yeah I think those dark graphite would look amazing.

but there is something to be said for crrrrrazy colors too.

r0bb86
07-10-2008, 03:54 PM
So far, yeah.
If its pouring then I'll maybe still drive by Kroger but most likely just stay at home.

8ish?
I'm about to head home - tired of the office.

Nerdsrock22
07-10-2008, 03:58 PM
yeah I'll be at the car wash at 8.

dude the office sucks. I'm ready to go!

h23bb2
07-10-2008, 04:04 PM
^^ X2 on the office thing... That car wash at the Cheveron you mentioned? I used to go to the subway over there once a month. Thought it had closed down...

Nerdsrock22
07-10-2008, 04:07 PM
It appeared closed down after my sister crashed my car into it.

Nerdsrock22

h23bb2
07-10-2008, 04:24 PM

Nerdsrock22
07-10-2008, 04:27 PM

h23bb2
07-10-2008, 04:29 PM
Coming from that cheveron station, where do I turn. I'll be headed towards Union City. Right or left? lol

r0bb86
07-10-2008, 04:32 PM

Nerdsrock22
07-10-2008, 04:38 PM

O shii, this is tonight lol. I was friggin bored out my head too. Looks back to try and figure out where this meet is.

Is this a "everyone is in their own little circle of friends meet" or where everyone atleasts greets everyone type of meet? I don't really care but if you want the meet to grow, this is the thing to do. Everyone will eventually know everyone and all that jazz.


Drove a Si (ep3) but didn't hang w/ those folks :D

Trust me, once you get around to most of these meets it's all flocks of groups. Don't ever expect a huge IA meet (such as varsity) to be as entertaining (as in conversation with people you know off the site) as you would these small meets. jfyi

now is this the same as all the other meets ive been to where its VERY clicky and no one talks to the new ppl? id like to come out sometime and meet some ppl here in newnan but hate it when ppl click up and ignore everyone else. lmk and i may try to come out to the next one.

Yea good stuff. Had a good talk with UntitledCD after everyone else left around 10:30/11. I might bring the camera and a couple more cars out next time. And yes, it was clicky, not to anyone that already knows a couple people, but if I were someone that didn't know anyone it would've been kinda lame.

Also, If any of the S2k's wouldn't mind running I'd like to set something up on a seperate date. Seemed as if that white one had a vtec controller on it (that or more aggressive cams) so I'll pass on him but the stock yellow one and that GSR (i thought) hatch, I'd love to run one day.

So where are all the ricers in Newnan now Jamal?

Just so you know, I wasn't talking about the cars ( I drive a *u*king cavalier with a bodykit), as you'll find out I'm from the oldschool car scene where any car attempted for modification got respect as long as the owner wasn't a DumbA$s, or worse, drove like a dumbAs$. I've yet to hear or talk to anyone that I felt could come pull a motor with me and know exactly what I'm doing the entire time, no matter if it were a honda, chevy, or motorcycle motor in that case. I just hate that the car scene has lost actual car people to fads and posers(not that anyone of you all are as I haven't even really gotten a chance to pick at anyones car knowledge). But just remember what I originally said in that old post....

I think my points were something to the effect of mommy or daddy gets them their cars and all they know is what they read online or something like that lol. I still stand by that though and I bet Thacker feels the same (no matter how he's viewed on IA he's still in a vet from wayy back). I've just seen it too much and I'm at the point where I just have to be proven otherwise (which in my way is actually doing some hands on work of your car and not having a 15pg print out of instructions WITH pictures that have little arrows pointing everything out lol. It's just newschool/oldschool. All of our cars are ricers in the hot rodders eyes and to them hardly any of us know sh!t unless we run what we brung, and talk about it after the race :goodjob:

h23bb2
07-25-2008, 12:15 PM
it was a good meet. I got caught up with untitledcd and the guy with the scion so I really didn't get a chance to check out your cavi:( Is it a 2.4?

Bballjamal
07-25-2008, 01:20 PM
^^ nahh! I started with the 2.2 because of what I heard some of the old hot rod guys say about the motor and it's roots from a SB chevy. I've basically given up on the car for now (I just got a house in grantville AND I'm paying for college) but it still runs hard for my gas saver.

I hear what your saying but Jamal but that can't be said for everyone. There are some out there that have to bust ass and earn every inch. You came with me to get my first car and know how that was. I've come a long way with the help of my friends every weekend down at my place getting every car I've owned more operational. You say that your part of the old school generation and that its not how it used to be, then your gen needs to step up and show the younger guys how its done. 0.02

:cheers: I agree. Most of the people that you see with the flashy cars all have them built by a shop, not themselves. Anyone can buy a turbo kit and take it to a shop to get built but it takes a true enthusiasts to buy the kit and install it on a weekend.

07-25-2008, 02:42 PM
cool. My father had a Grand Am (4 door 5 speed) with the 2.4 motor. It was slow as balls but it had pretty good low end and mid range power. I imagine it would be sorta potent in a cavi since it weighs alot less.

Yea dude you're right man! Research is key, but reading what you're doing without knowing atleast some idea of what you're about to come across is rediculous. All I'm saying is people cry so much about function over form (which was the prequel(sp?) movement of the "clean" thing) then they know nothing about the function of their car besides the lip kits are OEM from this car, and yea, its a mugen valve cover, or yea, its a b18...

Hard to explain, but coming from my side where I roll in with rice but actually knowing a ton about cars, then coming up to the clean scene where hardly anyone turns their own wrenches. I can't single everyone out but I sure can single out a lot of situations of the sort from newnan. O and I've been in this scene since '01, hot rods since damn, well 93 or 95? Wrenched on the step-dads chevelle from the weak 396 all the way to the 454 in there now.

Really what I'm getting at is what MeFryRice said lol. O, and that momma and daddy paid for it also. :goodjob:

I guess I could sorta be hatin on the kids who got the cars from dad, but then their attitudes to others and their cars warrants my frustration!

It was potent, as some have gotten around the 560 range in power, but the real crown motors are the old Quad 4's and the new Ecotecs. If I don't sale this car, I'll eventually re-build my subframe (Need to find shane for his welder. Tyre you still got his number?) and drop a 3800s/c from the bonneville SSei/GTP's.

And Tyre, dude you know I try to help out the new gen. I was super down to help you out (college kinda screwed that up from being around a lot) but these kids attitudes suck now a days. Tell you what though, before you dip in August for OKC (FUKIN CONGRATS AGAIN :cheers: ) we'll head to a meet and I'll show you EXACTLY what I'm talking about. :yes:


But yea, to anyone thinking I'm just talking ****, that's not the case, cause I can back it up :boxing: (j/k) I'd just rather see things go back to the good ole days where folks would say something about a beater run (which shine is doing :goodjob: ). Instead of the car scene being fun, its just a **** fest of who has the bigger car balls :idb: :gay:

I don't blame you. They'll never appreciate their cars. I was at a shop a while ago and this 16 y/o kid just got an Is300. The dad was right beside him asking what exactly he wanted. When i started talking to them about his car, they both gave me the typical stuck up attitude. What puzzles me is when these kids **** up their cars, they come back with better ones. I mean, what are the parents smoking? If i wrecked my car, my ass would be walking/bumming rides until I got the car fixed.

Welcome to Peachtree City. I know quite a few people that had their cars handed to them by their parents, of course there are one or two that will excuse from them being part of what I just said.

Those are David's pics, I didn't take any last night. He was using my lens so I just let him handle it. My friend who was driving the FJ took some, he may have them up a little later.
