Looks like I'll be taking out my diff instead of coming to the meet tonight.
come on! do it tommorrowOriginally Posted by MeFryRice
Well, the guy with the right hand drive 68 beetle has other things to do. I m still coming with the Ion Redline and bringing a friend from work with a Tc
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.

Anybody that shows up is aknowledged.... Trust me, as the new kid on the block, everybody's nice and sociable.
^^ Lol, but every kid doesn't drive a JDM tyte rhd civic with a lip kit and 15" wheels.
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.
its not super clicky. but i had fun tonight and dude that needs the turbo350 tranny pm and we can figure something out
I was wanting someone to take pics of the meet last night...
I forgot it was going on till I had to go to AutoZone
Damn I would love to come to a meet. Anything going on tonight? (Friday)
-2002 Subaru Impreza WRX Wagon
-2004 Nissan Sentra SE-R Spec V *boosted* (parting out)
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.
lol, i forgot about this.
i'll be out at the next one.
we should meet tonight. i wasnt there last night. lol.
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....Originally Posted by ChuckNorris
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
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?
^^ 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.

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

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.
Bballjamal - so how long have you been in the "scene"
...and I'll be damned if we all don't learn a sh*tload of things from doing research online.
are yall doing soemthing down there tonight?
don't know, bu if so, I'd show up. Rob? Andy? you guys wanna come out?
if thier gonan be good bit of people,i might ride out there
Mefryrice- finished with that diff or no? lol
How late do you guys stay out? And where do you usually meet?
-2002 Subaru Impreza WRX Wagon
-2004 Nissan Sentra SE-R Spec V *boosted* (parting out)
We usually vacate by 11. Its at the kroger on lower fayetville road. We gather in the corner by the McDonalds.
BTW, I won't be heading out there tonight

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.
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!

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 ) we'll head to a meet and I'll show you EXACTLY what I'm talking about.
But yea, to anyone thinking I'm just talking ****, that's not the case, cause I can back it up (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 ). Instead of the car scene being fun, its just a **** fest of who has the bigger car balls :idb:
I understand what your saying about kids attitudes these days. I just wanted to remind you there are still some out there that do it on there own. Thanks again man I cant wait to get down there and start a new chapter of my life and I look forward to the meet.Originally Posted by Bballjamal
so when does this happen exactly?
