Pacific Northwest Spring 2012 meet thread

[Hash_man_Se_i]

So... Now that I live out on the coast, I am much closer to other 3geez members. I think that come spring we should have a good meet gathering members in the PNW.

I know spring is a ways away still, but I figure we might as well start planning now so we can get as many members together as possible.

So, suggestions?....

[87roach]

Suggestions of where? Not sure.

I hope to have the car going for this!

[elpuma]

I'd be down.

[itzdave]

I'm down to kick it at another seattle meet, lol.

[charliekuney]

I still have my coupe! :)

[JC Barker]

Could be Good!

[MessyHonda]

maybe all the b series could meet up

[mykwikcoupe]

Spring may work. I started my new job so a constant way of funds would certainly help. The question now becomes, Racetek or the Green coupe? I doubt I could go for any type of an overnight type meet so something more then 200 miles from wouldn't work for me at least. It would be fun but not currently possible is all. If we have mostly Northern end people (not many south of John) we should think about a nice photo shoot location and unfortunately I think Dave is is the best center point for the Canadians and us. As for a west coast meet, maybe towards summer/fall I could sport an overnight or weekend meet in Northern Cali.

[itzdave]

yea but there isnt a damn thing around where i live, super pretty tho, lol. but i might be in florida for a few weeks starting in apr...

[Hash_man_Se_i]

I would imagine somewhere in WA would make most sense?... I know Seattle isn't too far from here for me, but not sure exactly where everyone is located.

[2ndGenGuy]

Seattle is good. Lots to do, and there's plenty of Dicks for everybody.

[itzdave]

Seattle is good. Lots to do, and there's plenty of Dicks for everybody.

I'm definitely down for a meet if dicks is involved...

[2ndGenGuy]

We can host the meet at my house. I don't have a ton of parking at my new place, but at least it's a place to start. And if we wanted to go to Seattle, we could haul ass up Hwy 18 and down 90 through Bellevue. Best freeway in the world.

[Rendon LX-i]

Sick . I'll have my accord done by the . Would be epic.

[87roach]

It'll be like a reunion :D

[itzdave]

so down...

[Prionance glauca]

I'm down also I'm out of Vancouver Wa. so Seattle isn't bad. I work mon - fri so weekends are best for me. looking forward to it. :rockon:

[2ndGenGuy]

Oh you better believe it will be on a weekend. :)

[Hash_man_Se_i]

Any suggestions on a weekend for putting this plan in motion?...

April 21 I'm hopefully going to be at a track day, so that weekend is out for me. Aside from that I don't have a lot planned for the next month or so.

[itzdave]

well im leaving WA the last week of march for a little ofer a month, then ill be back for a week or so, then im moving to another state, lol.

[87roach]

I've got to get the car running before I'd consider making solid plans!

[Rendon LX-i]

My car is pretty close all depends plus pass is gay right now

[Hash_man_Se_i]

Rendon and Roach, you need to get your cars running lol. Josh, if you need the shift linkage to help get you going just let me know. I can send it and worry about payment later on at some point.

[Christofur]

I cant wait for another meet!!!!! ill so be there.!

[elpuma]

I was hoping we could meet up for spring break. Finals week is after next week and then i'm free.

[Hash_man_Se_i]

When is spring break?

[elpuma]

Spring break is the last week of the month 25-31. I'll be done early during finals week on Tues the 20th.

[87roach]

I know I need to get it running... :(

All I need are a few coolant plugs, coolant, oil, some vacuum hose... then turn the key! I can't afford it for a month or more though..

[Hash_man_Se_i]

That's fair. I know how that goes... I finally got my car ready to pass provincial inspection so that I can actually get BC plates lol.

[2ndGenGuy]

I think we should plan it far enough out that people have time and motivation to get their things together. I'm still willing to host the meet at my house, I'm further north of where I used to be, a lot closer to Seattle.

[charliekuney]

I'm still willing to host the meet at my house, I'm further north of where I used to be, a lot closer to Seattle.

I don't know if I can drive that far... :rofl:

[Christofur]

I don't know if I can drive that far... :rofl:




What He Said ^

[elpuma]

I think we should plan it far enough out that people have time and motivation to get their things together. I'm still willing to host the meet at my house, I'm further north of where I used to be, a lot closer to Seattle.

I agree. There's really no point in having one so soon if guys can't make it because they still need to finish up. I think closer to summer would be great. I personally would like to meet up when we have nice weather.

[Hash_man_Se_i]

What if we plan for like the first weekend of June?... Would give everyone plenty of time to finish their cars, and get them running if all goes well. And would give us some nice weather most likely.

[elpuma]

Yea that sounds good. I think by then i should be out for summer break.

[2ndGenGuy]

I'm going to be gone almost all of June, so that won't work for me, but don't let me stop you guys from planning a meet.

[2drSE-i]

well im leaving WA the last week of march for a little ofer a month, then ill be back for a week or so, then im moving to another state, lol.

Coming to OKC? If so, beers will be had!

[itzdave]

Coming to OKC? If so, beers will be had!

nah, going to Pensacola for a little bit of traning then coming back here and moving a few states away...

[elpuma]

Just bumping it up to remind the NW to keep working on their rides for a summer meet.

[MessyHonda]

any ideas on dates? im off from school july 6

[itzdave]

Ill be back around may 1st but only for about a week or 2, then I'm out of the area for a few years...

[elpuma]

How does planning something for July 14 sound? Cuz i would really like to have jesse show up again.

We could do a small one to say bye to dave in may.

[MessyHonda]

my car runs now so im soo down. just got to change the axle seals again because they are leaking.

[Hash_man_Se_i]

I've got to get some suspension issues sorted shortly, then I should be good.

[elpuma]

Bump
And can we change the title to something like Pacific Northwest Summer 2012 and have a date on it? I believe setting a date would encourage others to finish their projects for the meet.

[Rendon LX-i]

Late summer like end of July or August Starting

[elpuma]

OK August the 4th which falls on a saturday??

[Hash_man_Se_i]

Works for me.... Anyone going the Honda Tech meet this weekend? Some friends are trying to get me to roll down with them.

[elpuma]

I know Rendon is going to it.

[niles]

I am free on August 4th, but where are you planning to have it? I am new to the forum and would like to go.

[Legend_master]

I will throw my 2 cents in on this. I will be in north Cali/South Oregon coast in September. If this gets moved to that time, I will try to meet up.

[Accord/Viger Ca5]

i hear that i would like to go as well all that neds to sorted out is rides a time and a place i think if we can get those locked in then we are good

[niles]

Well, I'm in Portland so both Seattle and Southern Oregon work fine for me. Additionally, HWY199 from Grant's Pass to Crescent City is one of my most favorite drives.

[MessyHonda]

im still down. i got the car running really good right now. i want to upgrade headers and new exhaust set up

[Rendon LX-i]

Sweet dyno session perhaps lol

[MessyHonda]

Sweet dyno session perhaps lol

portland again?

[Rendon LX-i]

Shit idk if it's in Portland yea . Would be fun

[MessyHonda]

yeah i have not been to portland since our last meet. this time i plan on kicking it with you guys.

[elpuma]

Portland would be great!

[niles]

Dyno eh? I have always been curous how much power I have since I am in the early rebuild stage. How much do those run? And for the record - My vote is Portland lol

[elpuma]

Would we wanna dyno at the same place we did 3 years ago?

[MessyHonda]

beaverton!

[Rendon LX-i]

X2 dyno in Beaverton an then carts lol an burgers. O an drinks for 21 an over lol. .

[Rendon LX-i]

Dyno eh? I have always been curous how much power I have since I am in the early rebuild stage. How much do those run? And for the record - My vote is Portland lol

30 for 3 pulls last time we did it

[niles]

I'm down with Beaverton. And dang $30? That's cheaper than I thought! Stupid question - is it 3 pulls so you can have an average?

[Accord/Viger Ca5]

that sounds fun that's about 800 miles away a bit far but that's all good i can try some other time when ever you guys want to try something like Oregon and Idaho im from Utah lol.

[2ndGenGuy]

The only reason we got a dyno day at that place, for that cheap was because Alex had the hookup there. If we can get a good number of people to show up, it might be possible to do it again, but I think our best bet would be to pester him again and see if he'd wanna do it again. And we'd have to actually COMMIT to showing up.

That was an awesome meet though, and I'd love to do it again.

[Rendon LX-i]

You know me John .

[2ndGenGuy]

Dude, I have no worries about you! You come to every meet! :)

[charliekuney]

Hmmm, two 3G's but neither could stand the trip. :/

[Rendon LX-i]

O char quit it lol.

[charliekuney]

Both of them shake so much at 50-70mph you feel like you're going to get brain trauma.

[mykwikcoupe]

start with the cheap and easy, tire balancing. suspension component inspections and replacements, alignments. My hatch's tires are so bad they do that as well. Its just the tires. One flat spot and it kills itself

[mykwikcoupe]

when is this happening again? If Im available maybe Ill see if the racetek hatch will make the trip. I havent spent much time on it becuase its summer, I ride my motorcycles and my kids use up as much time as they can. Oh and the finances to do what I would like to arent really there still. Luckily I have most of the parts or trading others for, isnt that right rendon.

[Accord/Viger Ca5]

alright so i had to think about it and the big ass hole in my tailpipe is killing me i neede to replace it so no going for me at least not tell its fixed
:hmph:

[Rendon LX-i]

So is a New date set playas.

[elpuma]

Sept 8!!! That's on a Saturday and I'll be done with my summer classes by then.

[2ndGenGuy]

We should all just caravan down to JCCS. :)

[elpuma]

John, the one in Long Beach?

[Legend_master]

We should all just caravan down to JCCS. :)

Sep 15th I may be past long beach. If I am not to far north I may meet up with the caravan and head down there. Rolling up to JCCS with a whole load of 3Gees would be kinda epic.

[Hash_man_Se_i]

I'm already registered for JCCS, and going to be driving down for it. Already booked the time off of work.

[86AccordLxi]

That shop closed. I know of another couple of shops where I could probably get something going, but honestly I don't think another dyno day is worth it unless you tag it to a pre-existing event. I dont' know of any coming up, though.

[2ndGenGuy]

I'm already registered for JCCS, and going to be driving down for it. Already booked the time off of work.

Are you registered to put your car in the show? Or just to be a spectator? I'm thinking about putting my car in the show, even though it needs paintwork. I saw cars that weren't even as nice as mine in the show when I went to the Motoring J-Style show in San Fransisco.

[Hash_man_Se_i]

I'm registered for the show. It seems to be a lot more low key as far as a 'car show' is concerned with show worthiness and such. I think my car should clean up ok and not look too out of place.

[Accord/Viger Ca5]

well when you guys decide on a date hopefully i can go it would be cool to see a shit load of 3geez other then mine

[niles]

I can do Sept 1 or 22. Or almost any Saturday in August. Sorry elpuma I will be out of town on Sept 8.

I feel San Fran is too far out of the way for a Northwest Meet.

[elpuma]

How about we all but down which weekends we can do and which ever one pops up the most we make our set date?

I'm free
Aug 18
Sept 8
Sept 15
Sept 22
Sept 29

[MessyHonda]

where do you guys want to have it? in portland or LA?

[niles]

Good plan elpuma. And I prefer an Oregon/Washington location.

I'm free:
Aug 4
Aug 11
Aug 25
Sep1
Sep 22
Sep 29

[Rendon LX-i]

cali would be sweet i never been there. but this time around i couldnt go to cali. it would have to be oregon or seattle

[elpuma]

yea seattle or portland. I say portland cuz we haven't had one there in a while.

[mykwikcoupe]

Sounds like possinly 2 different events, the Portland meet that this thread is about and possibly a convoy experience to JCCS in Long beach.

[Rendon LX-i]

plus i wouldnt run my car at 4,500 plus at 6 for 15hrs LMFAO. JDM trans FTW

[86AccordLxi]

^your car all done yet?

(too lazy to go searching :P )

Hurry up and dyno! Inquiring minds want to know!

[Hash_man_Se_i]

That could be awesome. I plan on leaving Vancouver on the 12th of sept for Portland, then on the 13th make my way down to LA for JCCS. Giving myself a bit of extra time, but if others want to come at the same time that'd be awesome.

I'd also be up for a Seattle meet later this summer.

[MessyHonda]

ls 5th gear is your friend

[Rendon LX-i]

i will post up vids alex. lol IT runs and runs nice


ls 5th gear is your friend

Thats the plan. i already got the ls guts

[elpuma]

Josh i thought we were carnales, why didn't you tell me it was already running?? lol

Hash_man i can make it to the 12th but that's during the week and idk if the other guys would be able to make it?

[86AccordLxi]

i will post up vids alex. lol IT runs and runs nice





dope!! Glad to hear it.

[2ndGenGuy]

So I think we should finalize a date for the local meet after JCCS.

Since we don't have a date set in here yet, what do you guys think of Saturday, September 29? PIR is doing late night drags (we missed them last time). It would be fun to see some 1/4 mile times (I'm looking at you Rendon!). Maybe go karting before hand? Though there are no Dicks in Portland, there is Burgerville, but I dunno how late they are open...

What do you guys think? We just have a kick-ass Saturday in Portland?

[Rendon LX-i]

sounds GREAT to me. Lsv gonna own them rice boys LOL.

[2ndGenGuy]

Awesome! Who else is down for that day?

[Hash_man_Se_i]

Sounds good to me. Last time I had my accord on the track was with the tired a20 and at 4000ft above sea level. Now I just need to make sure I don't break anything for the drive home hahah.

[87roach]

I wish I could of made this.. bla.

[mykwikcoupe]

sweet sounds good. Im dowmn if I can get racetek past WSP inspection and retuned by then. Is this going to be a late night drive home or stay and drive back the following day? Its only a 4 hr drive for me

[2ndGenGuy]

Well, I'm probably driving home. You guys can stay down there and do what you wanna do. Roach, why can't you make it? You've got a month, get to work! :D

[itzdave]

i hate you all... lol

[elpuma]

I'm dtf!!

[2ndGenGuy]

i hate you all... lol

Where are you anyways? Are you ever coming back?


I'm dtf!!

wtf's dtf?

[MessyHonda]

^it's what u say to guy friends when u meet a girl and she is Down To F*** or do anything crazy

Anyways guys I think I might just roll down with u guys to LA because they have nice weather/ ladies

[2ndGenGuy]

You should enter your car in the show if you're going! It would be cool to have a nice 3geez turnout actually IN the show! Especially with your B-series swaps!

[MessyHonda]

well the car show is for pre 1985 models so 3gees dont count

[2ndGenGuy]

They're doing 2g CRX's and FC RX-7s. Also Hash Man is bringing his car!

[Hash_man_Se_i]

well the car show is for pre 1985 models so 3gees dont count

3geez do count just like 1gen tegs do. The rules state that production of the chassis had to start in Japan in 1985 or earlier, and because of this, the 3g chassis counts. I registered about a month ago, and my regi was accepted.

I would've annoyed if the didn't count the 3Gee as a classic Japanese car.

[Rendon LX-i]

so im going to ask for the 29th of sept off then since member agree on this date. So anyway chime in

[2ndGenGuy]

so im going to ask for the 29th of sept off then since member agree on this date. So anyway chime in

[Rendon LX-i]

Fucking John lol

[2ndGenGuy]

HAha! Cool, see you then, eh?

[elpuma]

Hopefully i'll be tuned by then. Local guy here does a street tune for $100 on s300. He tunes a lot of the turbo set ups running around the Salem area.

[itzdave]

Where are you anyways? Are you ever coming back?

[mykwikcoupe]

[mykwikcoupe]

Oh man thats no good at all. I have 3 3geez you know. One is a stock white hatch. Start where you left off but with EFI. I bet its in alot better shape then your old one considering the guys been beatin on it. Oh man is that a knife in your side, whoa, I just put it there. Haha

[2ndGenGuy]

Okay guys, I've laid out all the details and times of where we are going and meeting up. Only thing I need to figure out is where to do the photoshoot. Please go check that thread for the info and post if you are coming!

http://www.3geez.com/forum/showthread.php?p=1102451

I need help from some locals who know where we might do a photoshoot in the morning. :) The only thing I can remember from when I lived in Portland was Clackamette Park (http://goo.gl/maps/lcCnO). I don't know the Tigard / Hillsboro area very well. It's a little ways from the lunch spot, but so is the race track... How's that look to you guys?

[87roach]

It makes me sad I couldn't do this, it would of been sweet to catch up with you guys again.

[2ndGenGuy]

^ seriously dude, it's sad that you can't make it. We will miss having you there! Don't worry though, there will be another one, yet again!
