**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.

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.

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.

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

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

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:

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???

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.

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.

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

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

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!!!!!

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!

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.

I know, I know Hoffa... shame on me... ran into a scheduling conflict w/Easter being the 8th...

However, there could just be a chance - a small chance - that I can make it, but not holding my breath. Will only know once the date gets closer...

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 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!

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!!!

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.

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)

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:

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.

Just noticed that I’ll be in Duluth on the 12th for my buddies college graduation from UMD, Sorry :(

On another note...I've been just messing around with the video maker on my computer and I came out with this short video. It's nothing special and the filming kinda sucks but I made it anyways.
