Got it? :)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Alright, i believe it's my turn to host a meet. Anyway, theres this awesome place called the Azusa Canyon around my house, and i know of the perfect place to meet there. Great photo-op area, and fun to drive around. This place is called Glendora Mountain Road, or GMR for short. Its a series of tight turns and is a blast to drive..

Anyway, here's a video going DOWN GMR from the meeting place that i've decided upon, which is actually at the top of GMR..

Going down GMR Vid (http://media.putfile.com/Going-down-GMR)

Adrian took a few pics as well, he might post them up.. Anywho, we can have a barbeque up there, but we need a permit.. Don't worry about that though, me or Adrian will pick one up.

Alright, so i was thinking it would work like this; We'd meet up at my house around 10:30-11:00, and once everyone showed up (ON TIME!! i don't want to wait around!) we'd caravan up to the place.

The date is not decided upon yet, but you WILL need to request the whole day off from work. It will be on a saturday or sunday though, that's for sure.

I'll say this again though, if you say you're going to come, you NEED to be here on time. My house is not hard to find, even adrian said so and it was his first time down here.

Here is a MapQuest link to my house (http://www.mapquest.com/maps/map.adp?searchtype=address&country=US&addtohistory=&searchtab=home&formtype=address&popflag=1&latlongtype=internal&latitude=RVFyrrZfDqM%3D&longitude=0X5scJjIaFtRXxLlOGdsdg%3D%3D&name=&phone=&cat=&address=5520+N+Fenimore+Ave&city=Azusa&state=CA&zipcode=91702-5844)

My house is really simple to find.. It's the second house on the left once you turn off of gladstone, and there will be a white convertible mustang in the front, unless it gets sold.. But either way you'll see my accord parked in the drive-way, and if my mom is home there will be a silver 2001 Eclipse in the driveway.

But anyway! So when should we do this? And can you make it ON TIME?

...im thinking 10:30am.

(Only reason i want to meet earlier is for good pictures, and because the canyon isn't a good place to be when its dark..)

EDIT: OH! And since it will be ALL uphill on the way to the meet spot, you might want to have a full tank of gas before you leave the house. It'll use around a quarter tank maybe, depending on your car's mods.. You might also want to be sure to have a spare tire with you incase theres any sharp rocks or anything on the road.

uh...where is that? ^

anyway! dude you guys have to come, you dont understand how freaking fun it is to drive up there! oh and i cannot say anything and i mean anything bad about the downhill. its a complete adrenaline rush. anyway, just like cory said, you have to be there on time, i think we should leave around 11am so thats how much time you will have to get there. even though its just a staright road to get there, its kinda hard to find unless mapquest can help out. lol. anyway! click on the video link if you havent already, i know its a big file for some of you (19.something megs) but....its awesome

unfortunatly my laptop ran out of battery and i dont have my charger so i cant upload the pictures just yet, ill do it asap, though.


OH AND ONE MORE THING BE ON TIME!

OK my car is going to be registerd very soon. That looks so amazing, i really want to drive that and see what my car can do after i get my springs.:D

Acid X
12-07-2005, 11:17 AM
I warn you NOW, you NEED to be careful!! I wouldn't personally exceed 30mph on any of the turns. One wrong move or patch of dirt and its off the side of the mountian you go!!! And theres no coming back from there!!

And i was thinking more along the lines of 10:30 am just so everyone can be there by 11 and we can be up at the mountain by 12 at the latest...

Busted_Blue
12-07-2005, 11:32 AM
past 30mph? lool a good driver who is experienced at these things can drive this place fairly fast given the right car too.

My old car lived for this stuff. I wanted to run GMR one day with good ole blue but never got a chance to drive down to LA to visit.

B16KILLA
12-07-2005, 12:50 PM
I'M THERE ,when?

Hes right about the turns there towards the bottom its mostly hairpins on GMR, it is no joke when i was going to glendora high school 8 kids died 8 different times up there.Since the late 80's 45 kids have died trying to out drive "The Road".

B16KILLA

AZUSA canyon is a drag strip compared to GMR

it is a dangerous road. I've been on that road before so I know how difficult and technical the road is. As long as people know the limits of the car and the limits of themselves and not reach those limits, it will be fun!


Just happens some people's limits are alot higher so they seem like they are going much faster but they aren't pushing themselves. It's like weightlifting, some peple can bench alot more without breaking a sweat. just takes practice =)


I would love to drive that road in my car again..perhaps this winter. hehe

Acid X
12-07-2005, 01:29 PM
Yeah, the top isnt too bad, but you still need to be careful. Theres a few straights going through it, but theres some pretty sharp turns at the end of em.

What you need to do is look WAY ahead, while also trying to watch out for obstacles in front of you...

Derek, you should bring your civic down when we have this meet. We wouldn't shun you just because you drive a civic. :)

We haven't thought about a date yet though.. I guess i'll just try to think one up and i'll throw it around a little.

Acid X
12-08-2005, 08:02 PM
Anyone have any idea on a good day? Im open for suggestions....

gfrg88
12-08-2005, 08:26 PM

Acid X
12-08-2005, 08:36 PM
January 7th.. Soundsa alright. Might be a little soon, because some people might need more time to request days off.... We'll toss it around though.

mkymonkey
12-08-2005, 11:04 PM

mkymonkey

12-09-2005, 12:11 AM
I duno. I was driving to this free concert thing with my gf's friends in the back and we were driving on this really shitty freway... Tehre was lots of large bumps and i think they might have gone out because of it.

All i know is it seems like the rear sits lower than it did now. :(

the struts/shocks themselves shouldnt make the car sit lower. The springs are the only thing that effect ride height. The struts just create up and down resistance so the springs dont conitinue to bounce once you hit a bump. Something else has to be the problem. Maybe you just asumed something would be wrong after you hit those dips and your mind is playing tricks on you thinking its now sitting lower, now that you actually paying attention to it lol. Nah seriously though i do that shit all the time. Damn mind lol..

Acid X
12-09-2005, 12:55 AM
Hmm. I see... Well, what would bend in the suspension maybe causing it to sit lower? Because i think it used to sit higher.. If i remember correctly i thought i could put my finger in between the tire and the wheel well.. But now i cant.

Could something have bent?

12-09-2005, 01:00 AM

Acid X
12-15-2005, 03:07 PM
Haha. I like Carne Asada, just not if its spicy. Just bring some burgers or something to be on the safe side though, adrian. :)

Alright, Chips, tortillas and sodas all covered.

Giovanni, B16, if either one of you have a cooler and some ice, bring it and put the sodas in it. Canned sodas are better in these situations.

Ohh, and i guess i'll pick up some paper plates, and incase nobody likes drinking out of cans, or even if the drink-bringers dont pay attention to this and bring BOTTLES, i'll bring cups too.

Haw.

Acid X
12-17-2005, 04:28 PM
Well! Bad news for me at the moment.. I just found out i had a blown head gasket. Yay! :\

The gasket is going to get replaced for 700$.. It's never been replaced so hopefully after its been replaced it'll run good again. Though i probably wont be modding it anymore just because the car doesnt seem like it can handle it. I'm actually thinking of getting a new car now. :(

mkymonkey
12-17-2005, 06:35 PM
greeeeeeat! that sucks dude

Acid X
12-17-2005, 07:09 PM
Yeah. I duno why it went out though. Its the original gasket and the car has 127k miles on it. It was probably just a bad gasket. I'm probably still going to finish the exhaust, but after that i duno.

The meet's still on though!

gfrg88
12-18-2005, 07:37 PM

mkymonkey
12-20-2005, 07:14 PM

Acid X

Acid X
12-20-2005, 10:34 PM
Sweetness. I ordered some Crane Cams ignition wires and bought some Splitfire spark plugs. Thsoe will hopefully be in by the meet. :)

Also, im putting my original box back on. I dont want to, but it's probably for the best.. Though i'm going to miss my CAI/short ram. :(

Yeah. I dont know. Heh. Im thinking about trying a few things.. It's mainly my friend who wants me to do it and since he bought the car for me i feel i should listen to him.

But anyway, when you put that plastic cover on, i remember how you said "Its just plastic, you can push the screws in"... No you cant, and thats why the same thing that happened to me happened to you earlier on. Theres a metal bracket that the screws go in to. Thats another reason my cover came off on the freeway other than my broken bolt, lol.

On another subject.. The plugs cost me about 20$ and the wires cost me 17$. Pretty good deal i guess.. Im just hoping the plugs and wires work well. I'd hate to have wasted that money.

Good news! It wasnt a head gasket. Turns out the valves havent been cleaned or worked on at all since 100k.. I'm at 127k and they're supposed to be checked every 15k. Heheh. The car runs like a champ now other than its still idling a little hard. Theres one small problem that needs fixing but it can wait.. I will be installing my new plugs tomorrow maybe, and depending on if im up to it or not i might put the normal carb box back on.

Oh well. I'm ready for the meet though!!

its already on dude, the strut bar, struts and springs are on. it rides fucking awesome!

Acid X
12-22-2005, 05:29 PM
Sweet. Congrats.

I need me some strut bars. I can literally HEAR my chassis flex sometimes when im going over an uneven grade like a driveways (crooked, to keep from scraping).

Anywho, i got my spark plugs in today. It was my first time so i was really scared about cross-threading them... Though i was scaring myself on the first plug and it took forever to do, lol. I kept thinking i was going to cross thread so i kept pulling the plug out and checking and putting it back in, pulling it out, etc. lol. The last 3 were fast though.

Unfortunately i think my spark plug wires (not the new, the old. i havent gottent he new ones yet) are shot. Alteast one.. The little connector on the end wouldnt clip on right without messing with it for a few minutes. I didnt know this until the car was backfiring, which was causing me to freak out thinking i did something wrong, lol. But it was just the wire, thank god.

Anywho, i got it on there and the throttle response seems improved. My hard idle is still there and i really think my motor mounts might just be bad, but its not easy to check.

Saving the air box for another day.

They walk around certain areas and they just happened to be in my area so me and my gf went to go find em.. ANyway, they carry around a couple grand that they give to the first person that finds them.. Well, I WAS THE FIRST PERSON TO FIND THEM!!

But i didnt stop to see if it was them.. So i ended up driving by but i thought i should ask so i went to go ask and before i could get there someone else was there already. IM so pissed!!! Fuckers!

hey cory, i have an extra MSD Blaster II Coil. ill let it go for 30 if ya want it. its brand new used it for probably 50 mi on the fork lift at work. it has a scratch on the MSD Sticker but thats because i did it with the screw driver i used to take it off of the fork lift. tell me if youre interested.

if it rains we can just go somewhere else....no?

Acid X
01-03-2006, 05:16 PM
Yeah! We can. :) I dont know anywhere where we could have a barbeque.. But we can go to the mall parking structure or something else... Or there's a pool hall up the street but you'll need to bring a few bucks (like 2 or 3) if you want to play.. That way the bill isnt going all on one person, lol.

I'm pretty sure it wont rain.. But the meet is still on even if it does. Bring everything that we would normally bring even if it wasnt, (barbeque 1320boy, meat, chips, soda) in case it stops raining. And if not we could always cook the stuff on my stove or something.

It'll be at the same time too. Adrian, we need to get that pass sometime this week. When should we get it you think? Do you want to just come by an hour or so earlier on sunday before everyone gets here and we'll go to the ranger station or something?

Also, i hope nobody is allergic to cats. I have 4 of them, lol.

mkymonkey
01-03-2006, 05:35 PM
yeah, ill go early. if not, ill probably go on thurs in the morning, since i get off of work at 6am. i might just go around 9 or so so i might be waking your ass up.

01-04-2006, 12:57 AM
ok guys i finally got around to researching this reacreational pass permit shit, and well we each need one if we are going to do any camping, bbq-ing, or anything else in the canyon's forests, which is actually anywhere you pull over in that canyon is a forest. so the passes are going to throw us back a whole 5 bucks each. like i said we all need one to park our cars. i can pick them all up and have you guys pay me for them later or we can all go pick them up before we leave. anyway here is a link explaining everything, look it over in case i missed anything.

Acid X
01-04-2006, 03:18 PM
Alright cool. I can pay 5 bucks for myself too. Bring carne asada monkey, lots of people want it so yeah. JUst bring a little bit of hamburger stuff, lol.

My girlfriend (shirley) thinks we should have the barbeque down here at my house only because there will probably be lots of bugs up there if we're trying to eat.

I believe cheeseburger said something about bringing drinks.. I duno, we'll have to hear from him first. He's still in San Fran i think.

Anyway, let me know where you guys think we should BBQ.

I dont know yet.. We'll find out if steven has to work or not..

Im wondering if i should change the time of the meet to a little bit later. Like 12 or something.. What do you think?

EDIT: Possible change in time! What's your take on a 12pm noon meet instead of so early 10:30?

B16KILLA

EDIT: What the hell, B16, you live in glendora!?!

B16KILLA
01-04-2006, 07:49 PM
Thats true....I think we should all eat breakfast by ourselves , then at 12 meet up go to the canyon ,drive,take pics etc, then after come back down and then we'll eat....I dont know it's just an idea.

01-04-2006, 07:51 PM

My girlfriend Shirley is wondering if she knows you.

mkymonkey
01-04-2006, 09:25 PM
ok kids,

there is no point in eating before going up nor eating after we come down from the mountain. why? well because the whole point of the "permits" is to be able to park the cars, and go uh...recreationing! meaning go have a bbq on the damn protected forest. i kinda dont see the point of buying the permits just to take pics. but whatev. ill go along with you people. and fine 12 is ok for me too. lol

Acid X
01-04-2006, 10:29 PM
True adrian. It would be best having a BBQ up there if we bought permits, but if we have it down here we dont have to worry about bugs.

OK, here goes. This is a tally/vote.

Do you want to have the barbeque up in the canyon, or at my house?

Vote now!

B16KILLA
01-04-2006, 11:54 PM
either one would be fine but, i prefer not to be eating with the insects

mkymonkey
01-05-2006, 03:25 AM
god you guys are pussies lol. you do have cars you know and such said cars have doors....bugs cant get throught the doors and windows unless opened. so uh...let me think, ok im not a total brain but my genius mind says sit in your car and eat! lol.

anyway whatever you guys want. just let me know what we're doing

Hey Giovanni, why aren't you ever on aim?

Acid X
01-06-2006, 10:28 PM
You figure this thread would be pepping up a little bit considering the meet is 2 days away..

Anywho, unfortunately Steven (1320boy) won't be able to make it sunday. He has to work all day... He was the one who was bringing the Grill and Charcoal, but he's going to loan it to me for the day. I'll pick it up from him tomorrow...

This means 1 less person for this meet. And even more bad news, Abraham (cheeseburger) might not be able to make it either. I'm waiting for him to find out if he has something for school or not..

So yeah. umm.. On a lighter note, a friend of mine and his girlfriend might be coming. Neither of them have a 3g or any type of car to look at, but you figure it'd be better to have a few more people around..

My uncle might also be coming down this weekend and coming up too. He has a 92 or 93 Acura Legend that he might be coming up in. But im not sure if he's going to ride with me or not...

And thats all for now..

EDIT: Oh! And for the last freakin' time, where are we BBQ'ing? If nobody really cares then we'll do it up in the canyon. That way we have a REASON to get the passes!

I also need to know who can affrod their own pass. I need to know because me and adrian will probably be going and buying them before everyone gets here, and then you can just pay me/him (whoever buys them) back..

I'm bringing my girlfriend and one of my friends.

Acid X
01-07-2006, 09:28 PM
Okay, so thats one person.. Giovanni, you can pay for yours or no? You didnt answer the quesiton really, lol...

Okay, so we still need word from.. Um.. Cheeseburger on whether or not he's going to make it.

I have 1320boy's grill and some charcoal, it's not a really big grill but it should work. I also have a bigger grill, but yeah.

So who's bringing drinks? I'm going to buy the cups and plates tomorrow. Also, i have a large ice chest that we can put the sodas in or something if someone wants to buy ice as well..]

Edit: Also know that we're going to have the BBQ in the canyon. If we didnt, it'd defeat the whole purpose of the passes.

B16KILLA
01-07-2006, 09:42 PM
Ok so i'll bring drinks and ice too.What kind of buns do we need ?(hamburger,hotdog,both?)Do we still need totillas also?

Acid X
01-07-2006, 09:46 PM
I'm telling adrian, BRING CARNE ASADA! Tortillas are needed.

I duno about hamburgers or hotdogs but might want to just in case..

I just got word that Cheeseburger can't make it... So that narrows us down to 4 people... Adrian, Matt, Me, and Giovanni. That kinda sucks!

I guess it's a mini meet now... Oh well. BBQ is in the canyon, and my uncle is down from washington so he'll be coming. I'm going to try to get him to drive his legend up. It's pretty good lookin, but stock other than that.. The sound system is bangin' though.

Also, my friend and his girlfriend may be coming just to hang out, their car(s) aren't anything special. My friend will probably come up in his 87 volvo station wagon, lol.
