    Lol, havn't been there in a while, but last time I went you had to go offroading to get there! Might be trouble for lowered cars.

    I was down there in a lowered 510 a couple years ago, A little bit of "Collin Mcrae" is good for the OG's. j/k. I'll ride by and check the road out. We could go to the upper parking lot or to west bank, It's like $3.00 a car and they have a beach and chicks and grills and chicks and....

    That would be the better option. Saturday or Sunday. I know I could do that. I have at least 3 Civics (77, 79 and my 79 CVCC) that could show up. Later, QD.

    Cool to here your input, 1 for buford dam, I second the daytime meet, I'll ride up to the dam today or thursday morning and check out the conditions. If they look good I'll post it, If not, I'll check West Bank and see if it is still 2 or 3 bucks a car, The Dam also has a large pavillion that can be reserved, so I'll check on that, too

    If this wasn't so far away I'd come check it out. I have a '69 datsun SRL so all this is interesting to me. I also might be getting a MK3 this weekend, but I think those were voted out earlier in the thread (?)

    SRL is a Datsun 1600 roadster, If I remember correct. or is it a U-20 car. Eithier way they are fun cars. Warner Robins is a pretty good haul, but if we have this meet on a saturday you should try to come!

    SRL is the U20 model, but mine isn't the solex equipped 2000.
    SPL is the R16 model.
    I might try to make it, but can't make any guarantees. If I did, it would be in the supra though.

    u-20 powered roadsters are really quick and can be a handfull in the twisties. I had one in 1988, and it would smoke all of the 1st gen integras, and any stock 5.0 fox body "stang". I have an extra set of u-20 SU carbs, and I have a friend that will probably be selling a pair of 50mm PHH mikuni carbs. Mikuni bought out solex and designed the PHH around it. They actually use the same accelerator pump.
    Hopefully we'll be able to meet up sometime, if not at the upcoming meet, then later

    no idea about the dime right now... I got a L20b sitting at my friend's house I can have for free but it's been sitting a long time. Depends on the money situation. I wouldn't mind just doing a KA but of course i've always wanted to do SR20DET swap.

    i might be getting a 1600 roadie.

    How's the rust on that 240z and does it run?

    i'll def make it out, in the maxima if i have to but i'm a classic owner so no hate lol

    QD, Glad to hear that the OG civics will be able to make it. I haven't seen but 1 or 2 of these cars in the past year. I bet you guys are loving the gas mileage in those cars.

    Lex, the 240z has some rust and need a fuel tank. It runs, but I just skarfed the carbs off of it to finish a 1983 RWD Maxima with a 1976 280z engine. As far as engines for your Dat, We got some solutions, appx. 250 hp, 350 ft/lbs torque, installed and megasquirted for $2000,00. Includes, engine, megasquirt, squirt harness, transmission, motor mounts, initial tuning (not dyno tuned) and all labor. Daily driver reliable. We're about to do this swap to the grey 1977 celica and a datsun 710. PM me and I'll give you more details

    I Rode out to Buford Dam today. I looked at the dam park, and the dam road. It all looked dam nice if you ask me. The road to the lower pool is dirt and is surprisingly smooth on the ay down. The only rough spots are in the turns, they have some washboarding going on. No potholes or large rocks in the road. Even the lowest of vehicles could make it. I saw a couple of crotchrocket at the bottom. This location is free and has plenty of grass to grill, throw a football, frisbee, or play a little soccer. If you come I would bring a blanket or some fold up chairs. The park has benches and limited picnic tables. If a dirt road is out of the question with most people, then West Bank is available, but is $4.00 per car. Both parks are a within 1/2 mile of each other and both parks are open until 10:00 PM. It should be a dam good time.

    I'll let the folks I know know about this. But I wonder if this will be worth the drive. I'd like to see a list of committed people. I'm committed for sure if there is enough others. I want an old school meet to go down. Later, QD.

    My friends and myself are going regardless if any one commits or not. That's like 6 cars and maybe 12 people, and probably at least one of us will "rally" off the dam dirt road. Sounds like a dam fun Saturday afternoon at the lower dam park. Even if no "Import Atlantians" come out. So to answer your question..."But I wonder if this will be worth the drive?"...I guess you'll just have to drive out and see!
    My group will prolly ride up to Gwinnett BP at the spot after we leave the dam car meet, and hang until late. any one else is welcome to ride along. It's about 10 miles away. C-Ya

    Here are the directions from I-85. Get off on the Lawrenceville-suwanee Rd. exit, head west towards Buford Hwy/p'tree Industrial, stay on L'ville-Suwanee Rd. untill it dead ends into Buford Dam Rd. Take a left. Drive onto the dam, and once you get to the spillway (with the big digital lake level meter) look to the left for the road to access the Lower Pool park. Go to the bottom of the dam.
    from hwy 400 I know to take Hwy 20 to the east, but I'm not sure where to turn to access the dam from the westbank. I do know that hwy 20 will cross Suwanee dam rd. At Suwanee dam take a left and follow it until the rd dead ends into Buford dam rd.
    3:00 to close. 10:00pm. Saturday, June 14 Buford Dam.
    as of tonight I have twenty confirmed non "Import Atlantians" counting me, and 6 probablies.

    Ok, I updated the first post to have dates and directions. Thanks for the advice Eddie. I didn't notice I could edit the first post. You gonna show up Saturday? I had the date wrong; when you said you had to work before. I really think this meet is gonna be big. I can easily see 50 cars showing if the AE86's and the Starions show up. Not to mention anyone coming just to check us out. I guess we'll see.
