View Full Version : Twin Cities Meets
vtecduster 02-15-2007, 12:50 PM **Update**
What: The first Twin Cities spring meet
When: Saturday, April 7th
Where: Top level of the main parking ramp at the Mall of America (the big one)
Time: 3:00 pm (subject to change)
Who: Anyone who loves cars
Why: Freedom of assembly is protected under the Bill of Rights
Come check out some sweet rides and bring your own. Drive your pink and purple Geo Metro if you want 06VRCoupe to harass you. We don't know what we'll be doing, but it'll be fun cuz there's going to be cars there.
06VRCoupe 02-15-2007, 12:56 PM Also, could you make sure that if you say you can show up, please try. The one last year weren't that big. It's always nice to meet new people and see what they have done to their cars.
I also believe that we had them at 5PM in the latter meets. In the earlier ones, it was Noon, and that was a little early on the weekend. If weather doesn't cooperate, we can also move to another weekend.
I moved from Brooklyn Center to Golden Valley vtec, that really doesn't matter though as I will make the drive.
06_ion2 02-15-2007, 01:00 PM ion's allowed? lol
lijewski 02-15-2007, 01:05 PM As long as I dont work, I'm up for meeting some new people and everything. I live in roseville and there are lots of nice parks we could meet up in through out the twin city area or the park and ride in maplewood on hwy 61 just north of 36.
vtecduster 02-15-2007, 01:26 PM ion's allowed? lol
absolutely
06_ion2 02-15-2007, 01:29 PM absolutely
alright well we will see how it goes when the time comes closer
bc3tech 02-15-2007, 02:00 PM personally i'd recommend a location other than brooklyn park. there have been, what, two cars of members of the MN boards stolen in the last two months in that area? I don't feel like prancing my car around up there so some thief can follow me home and jack it later.

I completely agree...that's why I said we should do it somewhere else
bc3tech 02-15-2007, 02:22 PM I completely agree...that's why I said we should do it somewhere elsehow 'bout... oh... Mtka? :twothumbs
i don't know the area well enuf to suggest anything other than something close to me :lol:
06VRCoupe 02-15-2007, 02:27 PM Mtka is close to me, lol, or my work! But I live close to my work, so yea, it's close to me.
Yeah, especially what I'm gonna be doing with my car, I'm gonna try to stay away from BC/BP (even though my parents live in BC, I just wont stay for long, lol)
Ions/Balts/whatever you drive. We just looking to meet up with people and cruise or chill/grab a bite to eat and talk about what brings us together, CARS!!!

Tru dat. Are there any park and rides in St. Louis Park? SLP is about as centralized in this area as you can get.
06_ion2 02-15-2007, 06:51 PM think of a place then.. it will be just farther for me to drive lol just dont make it insanely far away! keep it close to the citys and it will be fine
kat_01 02-16-2007, 02:42 AM well, that's my weekend to work, 3-11, but if there's gonna be a decent turnout i can get it off. doubt i'll have my car by then, but with any luck the grand prix will have a new tranny so i'll bring that. leave the truck at home, and not have to bring up the rear again :)

About 5 weeks ago , my partner(at work) and I saw a red ss/sc on a flatbed down between Windom and Worthington. I just figured someone was getting either and exhaust or some other work done. Never noticed anything peculiar about the flatbed so it must have looked the part(meaning relatively new and legit),what I am saying is no "red flag" went up in my head. With so many more expensive vehicles to go to prison for .....you know what I mean ?
Different note would be to hook up at random car shows or swap meets to walk around,shoot the $hit not worry that your cars are the complete center of attention.
Just an idea. Don't hit too hard!:lol:
Mike06cobalt 02-19-2007, 03:16 PM I think I made it to only a couple of those brooklyn park meets, jsut because I'm in EP and it takes me almost 45 minutes to get up there...way to far. I'd suggest either other ramdom meets like the above poster, or just a rotating shift of 3 or 4 metro locations to make it easy for everyone sometimes.
hoffa 02-19-2007, 10:51 PM either way... i'm still going to be driving farther than any of you.
I'm up for meeting at a random car show or something. People still get together down at midway on sat nights???
03supercharged 02-19-2007, 10:56 PM I'll be for sure coming to most of the meets

definitely.
I found a park and ride in st. louis park on the intersection of 394 and Park Place blvd. If you mapquest it, it's about as centralized as you can get without being in MPLS or st. paul proper. There's another one in SLP on 394 and Louisiana. Those are my suggestions. You can go to http://www.metrotransit.org/serviceInfo/parkRide.asp for a complete listing of park and rides.
I think a park or mall wouldn't be a bad idea either. Make some suggestions.
06_ion2 02-20-2007, 12:29 AM how about like rosedale or maplewood mall? maybe top level of moa parking ramp?
vtecduster 02-20-2007, 10:32 AM how about like rosedale or maplewood mall? maybe top level of moa parking ramp?
Rosedale and MOA are pretty centralized locations too. Keep posting suggestions and I'll make a synopsis so we can get a sort of consensus.
Tha Cavi Kid 02-20-2007, 11:00 AM as long as us cavi boys are welcome, i will be there along with my best bud josh (03supercharged).
06VRCoupe 02-20-2007, 11:14 AM If you want to meet people who are into cars, we don't care what ya drive. You could roll up in a pink and purple Geo for all I care (I might give ya shit for a few minutes, lol) but if you want to meet peeps and take and see what everyone is doing with their cars, everyone is welcome!
It's still in the family!!! MOA is a pretty good idea. So far all of them are. As it gets closer to april or so, we'll pick a location as a group or something w/time so we can all make it and whatnot!
hoffa 02-20-2007, 11:18 AM im game with the moa idea, lots of space up on the top level.
plus on top of that, there's a hooters. food at this one is so so, but the selection of beer is good and the scenery is worth the 2 hour drive
:lol:

:lol:
reason i thought of this is because another car club im in might be thinking of it for the summer meets :) its nice up there!
portergraph 02-20-2007, 12:01 PM MOA would be nice - right off of 494... plus I know where it is and how to get there
06_ion2 02-20-2007, 01:19 PM MOA would be nice - right off of 494... plus I know where it is and how to get there
free to park also.. and its a known place and very easy to get to :cool:
vtecduster 02-20-2007, 01:46 PM sounds like MOA is the best option at this point. We're talking about the top of that monstrous parking ramp, right?
06_ion2 02-20-2007, 01:52 PM top of the east ramp along 24th ave :thumb:
06VRCoupe 02-20-2007, 04:17 PM the one by macy's? (or whatever it got changed to!)
06_ion2 02-20-2007, 06:45 PM well if u face moa it will be on the left hand side
06VRCoupe 02-21-2007, 10:24 AM ok, that's the one I park in all the time anyways!
vtecduster 02-21-2007, 11:02 AM Looks like the MOA is the consensus. Lots of stuff to do around there too if we get bored. I will edit the original post.
I know that 12 noon didn't work so hot for a few people in the past...is 3 pm okay? Just want to make sure we have some daylight for at least this first one. Let me know
06VRCoupe 02-21-2007, 11:41 AM 3pm sounds good. Almost right inbetween Noon and 5pm. Sounds good. THIS IS TENTATIVE!!!!! We will confirm exactly what and where when it gets closer to April (at least I hope so!)
Ha, nice vtec, I just read the first post!!!!!
I just saying drive whatever you have!

lol we know, just thought it would be funny
06_ion2 02-21-2007, 12:33 PM 3pm moa free parking sounds like a good idea:thumb:
portergraph 02-21-2007, 12:41 PM April 7th works for me as I'm free that weekend:twothumbs
...but that's the last Saturday I have available until September...:thumbsdow
06VRCoupe 02-21-2007, 02:23 PM ^
Damn that sucks! We can always find another day or something, if wan to meet up during the summer.

yea, but it pays the bills...
... some Sundays will work - possiblly some Friday eves - as I usally stay in Bloomington when I'm booked in the Cities, especially with a early start or a late end... one way or another, I'll find a way

06_ion2 02-26-2007, 07:54 PM ill bring my 06 ion2 Qc need to install my lip kit and springs shortly after these snow storms go away :thumb: just hope ill have money for tint!
06VRCoupe 02-26-2007, 08:51 PM Having trouble waking up by 2pm? :beer:
No, I'm just lazy on the weekends! I will be getting tint installed on April 6th and while I'm at my parents, convert my SRI to CAI, since the piping is over there. I will more than likely make it!
06_ion2 03-01-2007, 09:24 PM bump for meet!:twothumbs
rallyracer 03-01-2007, 09:31 PM I dont think that I'll have any of my new mods put in by April 7th but it'll still be nice to meet some of the new members.
You should have posted a link to this in the MN balts room cuz I never new that this meet was in the works.
vtecduster 03-01-2007, 09:47 PM lol you're on here all the time..how did you not notice?
06VRCoupe 03-01-2007, 09:50 PM ^haha lol!
It is also listed on the CSS.net calender incase you forget! I might have my header/dp installed by then and I will have my tint installed the day b4!
rallyracer 03-01-2007, 09:54 PM lol you're on here all the time..how did you not notice?
I have no idea why I never saw it, I guess I must have been to interested in trying to find deals for things I need/want for my car.

which means i'll have em installed by the CED meet
which definately means ill have em installed before this meet :twothumbs
are we doing any cruising later at night??? i haven't rolled down to porky's in years, or is that area just flooded with piggy's now a days?
06VRCoupe 03-07-2007, 11:52 AM I ordered my Header/DP yesterday. hopefully they'll get here soon. Maybe halos in this weekend.
Good deal Hoffa. I'd be up for cruising around after we meet at MOA!
portergraph 03-07-2007, 02:22 PM still tentative at the moment guys.... I've got that weekend available, but need to figure out sitter for kids and new dog...
hoffa 03-07-2007, 04:00 PM still tentative at the moment guys.... I've got that weekend available, but need to figure out sitter for kids and new dog...
I got plenty of college friends that probably wouldn't mind doing that :)

I’m down for cruising around that night.
I believe the Uni/Porky's area is such down by the police after 11pm, well thats how the police were doing it last year.
06VRCoupe 03-07-2007, 06:03 PM which header/dp combo did you go with??
The CA Header and XTC 2.5 DP w/cat.
SuperCobaltSS 03-09-2007, 07:45 PM Id go to the meet but ill be at RF
rallyracer 03-11-2007, 06:11 PM I cant wait to hear my exhaust roar thought-out the parking ramp :)
I was driving thought a tunnel yesterday…I dropped her down a gear and went WOT and she sounded awesome.
GMPP Sport Exhaust FTW
06VRCoupe 03-11-2007, 07:05 PM Yeah. I love going through under passes and just dropping it a gear and listening to my exhaust! Speaking of which my header and downpipe are scheduled to be here on wednesday!!! Now I just need a weekend for install!
On the other MN thread, I mentioned I got my halos installed, about an hours worth (install and aiming). I'll get pics up, but I need to take better ones, my camera was on the wrong setting when I took them!

Now lets hope everyone shows!
I did get my header/dp in this weekend, and damn I'm happy!
vtecduster 03-19-2007, 12:49 PM did we ever determine exactly which ramp we're meeting in? I thought there was more than one ramp there...
hoffa 03-19-2007, 12:53 PM my exhaust is on back order... :thumbsdow
yeah, which ramp are we meeting in anyways and what exactly are we going to do there?
i still think hooters would be a great idea :cool:
06VRCoupe 03-19-2007, 02:41 PM I was under the assumption that it was the one off to the left (if facing the very front of MOA.).
Just go left from the front to that ramp, and go to the top.
I thought about this yesterday. If it is raining, do you all want to meet one level lower so we don't get all wet?

good call on the one level lower. From looking online, there are actually 4 ramps...N S E and W. If it's all the same, let's just pick one. The west ramp can be seen from highway 77, is that one okay then?
06VRCoupe 03-19-2007, 04:13 PM Hmmmm.........
I would say get to the front of MOA, head of to your left, and that is the parking ramp we meet at, the very first one on the left. (I thought that was the one we decided on anyways). Top level (roof of parking ramp) or if it's raining, the next level DOWN)
Now I'm even more confused after reading some of posts.
06 ion wants the one on 24th ave, I'm thinking of the one at killebrew Dr/HWY 77 (or at least I think so, the one with the lego's off to the right with the ramp that is off to the left is the one I'm thinking of). I need make a trip down there and figure it out before the meet, lol.
I'm confused beyond the point of sane.
rallyracer 03-19-2007, 04:13 PM I hope this arial view help you guys out.

Good, I can save myself some gas before the meet, lol.
Thanks PB!

tygRacer 03-19-2007, 05:30 PM pool to save the day! i was laughing so hard at all the confusion! lol
i'm stoked to see what you guys have done on your cars! mines straight stock (although i was at the dealer today inquiring about the stage 2!) ha.
06VRCoupe 03-19-2007, 06:02 PM I have a 2.2L, but I have Injen intake, CA Header, 2.5" XTC DP w/cat, GMP Performance exhaust w/angled tip. TWM Short throw. DC Strut bar.
That's it for performance!
Black housing projectors and cut stock antenna for appearance, as well as debadged!
rallyracer 03-19-2007, 06:10 PM All I have right now is GMPP Sport exhaust.
Soon I'll have GMPP Stage 2 kit and Eibach Sportline springs installed. The springs are chillin on my living room floor and my Stage 2 kit is still on back order. I'll probly install both of these sometime in mid April.
06_ion2 03-19-2007, 06:56 PM alrite its the other ramp now :lol: its cool someone should edit in the pic on the first post :)
hoffa 03-19-2007, 11:11 PM hey VR, how long did it take for cobalt addiction to get you the DP and header??
06VRCoupe 03-20-2007, 10:20 AM hey VR, how long did it take for cobalt addiction to get you the DP and header??
I think it was only 5 days. I ordered it on a thursday, and got it on wed of the next week, so 6 days.
Comes UPS Ground, which is a plus!!!

kat_01 03-25-2007, 02:17 AM are we going to "try" and do monthly meets again this year? i have a wedding to go to on the 7th for my bf's friend so i can't come this time. haven't gotten my cobalt yet, in the meantime i'll invoke girlfriend rights and drive his car when i want to. at least its supercharged and will keep up better than the truck did :lol: .

06_ion2 03-26-2007, 02:11 PM well I'm planing on going to the meet still might have something fun installed by the second meet tho ;) that is if ppl still are gonna go monthly
06VRCoupe 03-26-2007, 02:42 PM Yeah, we do this monthly and just see what's up and what not.
Bump incase other MN peeps haven't seen it!
Side note: DAMMIT! I got a CEL today while driving to work. It was foggier than all hell. I don't know if the cat is bad on my XTC DP or what is up. What would be the best place to go to find/get a diagnostic on the code? I have the 2.2 balt if you didn't know.

i got my DH that shows me the codes do u have a intake? it may be a lean code. any autozone will do it for free
06VRCoupe 03-26-2007, 03:43 PM I have an intake, CA Header, XTC 2.5" DP w/cat and GMP Performance Exhaust on my car. Didn't have any CEL over the weekend or for that fact, as long as I've owned my car up until this morning.
It did rain a bit over the weekend though, as you know, and I was out driving in it, not too long though, and my car sat at a party sat night/sunday morning. I guess I'll head over to autozone after work and see what the deal is!
hoffa 03-26-2007, 04:37 PM ^ great...
06, let me know whats up with that because i will have the exact same set up as you come friday morning
06VRCoupe 03-26-2007, 04:40 PM Sorry, but I'm dumb when it comes to this. What is a DH or where can I get my own Diagnostic reader (if there is one for the 2.2 balt)?
Thanks, and there's a Autozone about 2 miles away from my house, so I'll have an update tonight!
I don't know what happened to kick it off though. Maybe my 1st o2 Sensor went off/is bad or my cat! Hopefully it's not my cat, as I just installed that new last week!!!

06_ion2 03-26-2007, 06:53 PM just remember the dashhawk doesnt work on 2.0's
06VRCoupe 03-27-2007, 12:53 PM ^
I don't have a 2.0, so hopefully it would work on a 2.2.
I did check out the code at autozone last night after work, and the code P0420 came up. It was bank 1 sensor was reading low and my cat is supposedly bad. I'm not too worried about it but I will keep a watch out for it.
TurboTechRacing 03-27-2007, 04:08 PM I will try to make it to one of these meets :) little bit of a drive, but i should be able to make it.

I don't know if anyone caught my CEL was on. P0420 code. Bank 1 was reading too low and Cat is "bad" (granted I put my header/dp on week and a half ago!!! Simple DC of the batt, got rid of it, since the damn guys at Autozone didn't clear it!, Might want to invest in the DashHawk to monitor engine/other aspects, as i don't think I'm going to speeding at all much, so I won't need a radar detector)

vtecduster 04-02-2007, 12:41 PM looks like old man winter is coming back. The saturday forecast as of right now is a whopping 38 degrees but sunny. Your thoughts?
hoffa 04-02-2007, 03:33 PM im still game
rallyracer 04-02-2007, 03:34 PM The weather people dont know what the weather is gonna be like 5days out...its all a guess.
***I say we only cancel if its raining or snowing***
vtecduster 04-02-2007, 06:23 PM ^^just making sure.

I have a buddy that may have his swap project up and running. He dropped a SR20-DET into a 93 sentra. About 2600 lbs. I took a ride the other day in it and the fuel cut off at 5psi (he's working on the tuning) and that thing was faster than any pull I've made in my car. He'll be pushing 16psi (~330whp) when he's done, and hopefully that is this week. Now I wanna do a swap :lol:
hoffa 04-03-2007, 08:11 PM woot for not cancelling!
06VRCoupe 04-03-2007, 08:36 PM To hell with cancelling!!!
I'll be there for sure!
vtecduster 04-03-2007, 10:36 PM ^^now that's the spirit
Anyone have an account at redline forums? Maybe some of those guys want to come out..
bc3tech 04-04-2007, 10:28 AM there arent' many balts/rl's in the TC area that hang on redlineforums. there are a handful of ppl on **************

vtecduster 04-05-2007, 02:06 PM I'm starting to get excited. Anyone have a good jack they can bring? I need to rotate my tires bad and I don't trust the POS that came with the car :lol:
06VRCoupe 04-05-2007, 03:34 PM The pos jack should work just fine. I've had no trouble with it, even when I jacked up the pass. side to conver CAI into SRI for winter. I was leaning on the car (even though you aren't supposed to, I'm a light guy) and no probs.
Does anybody have the Dask Hawk or something to read CEL codes? I reset my battery, and my cel came back on. I'm pretty sure it is the P0420 code for Bank 1/Cat bad.
I get my tint tomorrow!!!!! Sweet!
bc3tech 04-05-2007, 04:08 PM i've got a DH... but won't be going - car's out of commission. plus i'm heading to IA to see family.

I got my tint done today, and it only took an hour. I went to Street Scene Tint right by Northtown. It's damn nice. I got it free as it was my b-day present from my parents. Tomorrow looks like it will be a good turnout. Now if only the weather would cooperate!!!

see you all tomorrow!
now, time to go get wasted :redx:
wiseguy3501 04-06-2007, 10:27 PM Just so you guys know, typically the mall won't open the top levels unless it is quite busy and they need the parking space. Only reason I know this is us MNBeaters guys will cruise over there from our meet just about every Saturday.
I agree 06VR, hopefully it will cooperate. They are calling for flurries and more damn wind.
Just don't let us Saturn guys show you guys up.
portergraph 04-06-2007, 11:29 PM so... still planning to meet @ 3pm then? If top level isn't open, then the next-to-top level??
Hoffa, got your message (sorry, was working - didn't call back cuz figured you are too) but when you leaving? 11-ish??
