    Unofficial "Flipped" East Coast meet.

    Alright dammit, in light of that hugely successful Portland Meet, it's time we get the east coast to put on our rally caps and make a meet worthy of the 1st Annual CT/NewEngland meet of '02 (I think it was '02) where we had a BBQ at a park and had, what 10 cars show up? We followed those up with some sweet ass meets for the next few years between NJ (e-town raceway) and CT, but then something happened. We all grew up a little and fell out of contact.

    So peel your asses off the couch, and go dust off and wash & wax your 3G, turn wrenches, break out the torch, visit the DMV, just do whatever it takes to get it on the road. It's time to get that car back out to play at least for a day.

    Here's the proposition:

    When: August 15th and/or 16th
    Where: tbd, but most likely central CT. Rocky Hill / Hartford (surrounding towns) area. Depending on the volume of cars showing up, I may opt for the OCC Choppers location in NY, or maybe Englishtown, NJ.
    What: FLIPPED. This means any Honda with flip lights. (3GEEZ, 2nd and 3rd Gen Ludes, 1st Gen Teggys)


    I MIGHT exclude the 3G ludes only because of the sheer amount of them still around, but then again, I'm thinking the more the merrier. There may be a minimal admission charge depending on where we go, and what we decide to do. A BBQ can get expensive for 30+ people if so many show up.

    It'll be at a local park with permission granted from the park owner, and may include a short caravan to a secondary location for dyno day, indoor karting, outdoor karting, or even just another good photo-op for the cars.

    So, we'll start with this thread to finalize the date, place and venue. Once everything is finalized and set in stone, we'll get an Official thread going for participation.

    I am going to post pics from all the big meets I have. CT used to have the biggest meets. I think as Mark stated we have all kind of grown apart a bit. Back when I joined this site I would have never thought I would make some life long friends through the internet. I have met a fair amount of members in the NE, but Rob and Mark will always be close friends to me. great guys who are always to willing to help out when possible. ok enough of my lovefest haha

    I just realized this would require you have a running 3g and no, you can not purchase one for peanuts and drive it there that day.

    I'm sure we'll find some time to hang out

    I'd love to come to the East Coast meet. Depends on the location and if I'm off from work.

    Holy shit it's James! Hey hey hey, of course you can come you 'tard. There's gotta be at least one dude at every meet sporting the soccer-mom-(dad) mobile (aka. Odyssey).

    This is James you're talking to. You don't remember the Laurel blue hatch with Kaminari bumper and Krylon Fuzion electric blue moldings and 'accents'. He's the king of not-so-matching accents. Brightly colored non-matching 3-ring binders with black duct tape FTMFW!

    I'm down for a meet not sure if the accord will make it but i will come. I do miss the old meets as my car was in far better condition but i am in the market for a new chassis as i am still stocking up on parts i need. If the B20A is still in the car and the meet is local i will bring it as it might be the last year this coupe is kept whole depending on what i do.

    It IS local and your car IS coming. It's still way cleaner than most others, it's just not up to your standards, which are very high and I respect that fully.

    Oh come on. That's not a real long drive, especially if we make this a 2-day thing for us 3geezers. The other 'flipped' guys will just do the 1-day thing.

    Re: Unofficial "Flipped" East Coast meet.

    Yeah man, I had at least 3 people travel that far. Messy came up from SanFran, which was about 10-12 hours. Bitesize and Turabaka from Boise, ID, and 87Roach and his buddy from Kelowna BC. Also 8 hour drives at least.

    So do it do it!!!

    Well, I'm guilty of the same offence then. I bought a brand new full exhaust for an SE-i.

    I talked to my girl about this and she says we'd have to come down there... (Actually, she wants to go to south Jersey)

    Damn, can't back up now

    I need a catch can for the Mugen Valve cover. This thing doesn't have a baffle.
