[S4toSTI]

anyone wanna meet up and head up there together lets try to set something up. I am sure we should meet up out by u guys i am not gonna ask all u guys to drive 30 inutes towards me to dirve all that way back. I say we meet up at the nesham mall or somthing like that then head up there and meet up with some of the jersey along the way if they wanna do that. Discuss please cause i think alot of people are going so we may as well all head up together.

[Raven18940]

[9 Ball]

Depends on what time folks are gonna meet. I leave work at 8:00am from the Airport (south Philly) so depending on the meeting time, I’ll either see you guys at the Mall, or rendezvous somewhere on the Turnpike.

Either way… I’ll be on my way to Englishtown at 8:00am on August 20th!

[Silver04STi]

Where are the Jersey people meeting.....going over to red robin too?

[272sWrx]

f that im not getting my car stolen at english town.

[xEJ20x]

I'll prolly caravan up with some Evolution buddies.
Unless something better comes up that day. :cool:

[S4toSTI]

f that im not getting my car stolen at english town.
hey is something thinking about what happened at waterfest.

[272sWrx]

my friends 2.5rs got stolen there when i was running my car last year...

[TehWagon]

jersey people maybe could meet by the tp entrance in florence??? then maybe meet on a roll wtih the pa peeps?

[9 Ball]

As of 8/12/05, over 40 EVOs have answered the call of duty.

There’s gonna be a bunch of EVOs running on Saturday.

[TehWagon]

they'll win, too. i love subies and i hate to say it, but they will! :rolleyes:

[9 Ball]

If there’s one common truth about the EVO community, it’s this…

EVO guys can be a little anti-social, and sometimes the Han Solo type (a very *unique* psychological profile,) but when it’s time to go to war, they unify, along with the determination of the United States Navy!

I suspect another win this year also.

[GodSon]

I am down for meeting you guys at neshaminy mall. Can't wait for the shootout. My camera is already set up, and my mom gave me my allowance money to get in. lol.

[9 Ball]

…And the money for tires too!!! Hah, just joking!

Good to hear from you dude!

[TehWagon]

talk about losing it... i posted here and didn't even realize... sheesh... :bigeek:
anyhoo, JERSEY PEOPLE! and maybe even pa people... what we could do is if you PA guys are coming over from pa turnpike via 276 (florence) you could exit for 130 right after the bridge, and meet us in the Super Wawa parking lot. OR, if you guys know pretty well what time your leaving, we could try to meet 'on a roll'. (preferably a kaiser roll. ok it's monday-sorry.)

any thoughts? i also would like to meet early and get home early.

And for you atkins people a wiser kaiser yeah its a monday here in pa too. I think we said 8 am meet and leave by 830 i think.

[TehWagon]

which would probably put you by florence by 9 or a little after i think? maybe as it gets closer, you could take a headcount of people that are meeting. if there are like 40 people or some crap, that's a little impractical for meeting in the wawa. it would be easy for a smaller group, though, because you wouldn't have to pay the toll to get off, since you do that prior to the bridge and then again further down the turnpike, but the exit for 130 is in a sort of limbo zone w/no tolls...

[xEJ20x]

Its Jersey directions for you. Rather hard to describe but once you've done it you know whats goin on.

[TehWagon]

you lost me at 'which'

seriously? it really IS monday...
i was carrying the thought from your post- you said you are leaving teh robin around 8:30, 'which' would mean you'd be passing florence around 9........

[S4toSTI]

ok so the getting on and getting off this was confusing me i say a on road meet up would be best... thats what cell phones are for.

And Motorola walkies.

[S4toSTI]

And Motorola walkies.
ahhh good idea :thumbup: (just for you)

[TehWagon]

concur- maybe i'll borrow mike's again and we'll decide on a channel and i'll give one to someone in the pa group who's def going. that way, as you guys are getting close you can give us a heads up to roll out.

or u can just call me. heh.

lol ok hopefully i will know more then just the morning of who is going.

[Silver04STi]

I'm game to roll with the jersey people...

[TehWagon]

cool, u know where the superwawa in florence is right? want to meet there at 8:45 and be ready to go around 9?

[karl]

ill be at super wawa!!!

[TehWagon]

good deal :)

[karl]

wish i had my new setup to race....

[Silver04STi]

cool i'll be there....8:45 am sat

[TehWagon]

sounds good. we'll pm for phone numbers and stuff as necc as it gets closer to sat...

[dancemf666]

What time at the super wawa?

[mostasteless]

I'm down, but I have no clue where the Super Wawa is. Does anyone know if the Florence exit on 295 puts you anywhere near it?

[TehWagon]

that's a very good question... i'll look it up.
hold please.

OK. looks like it's close, but you'd have to backtrack west a bit to meet up w/us, but it looks doable. up to you. if you want, pm me your number and we could attempt to meet in motion...

[mostasteless]

I will be going with a friend who has a tendency to oversleep so I don't want to hold anyone up. Taking a look at the map I assume its somewhere on 130 between Columbus road and the 295 exit so I'll just shoot up 206 to Columbus and go down 130 until I hit it.

[TehWagon]

not the fastest way, but it'll get ya there...

[9 Ball]

OK, let me get this straight…

PA People are meeting at…
Location: Red Robin (old Thursday meeting spot)
Time: 8:00am and roll out at 8:30am.

Jersey People are meeting at…
Location: Florence Super Wawa
Time: 8:30am and roll out at 8:45am?

PA and Jersey groups will then rendezvous on the turnpike somewhere.

Does that sound about right? :wiggle:

[TehWagon]

correct except for jersey meeting time- meeting at 8:45, rolling closer to 9 i think by the time u guys are near us (i think it'll take longer than 15 min for u to get there). maybe we ought to just meet at 8:30 just in case?
does someone from teh PA group have my #? i have barry's number-

[TehWagon]

well, i'll aim to be there at 8:30, just in case...
also, anyone bringing talkabouts? i don't want to make the pitstop to borrow them if no one else is gonna have them...???

[S4toSTI]

barry has to work... last minute thing went down ughhhhh. :furious: :furious: :furious: :furious: :furious: :furious: :furious: :furious: :furious: :furious: :furious: :furious: :furious: :furious: :furious: :furious: :furious: :furious: :furious:

yeah well i mean it is just silly employees and whatever they were in a jam so i have to step up... can't do anything about it except suck it up.

[TehWagon]

well, b, i'm proud of ya. it's a tough decision, but a smart and responsible one.

[S4toSTI]

Well thank you see even us youngin's can act mature like you old folks sometimes.

[TehWagon]

heartwarming indeed. ok back to the task at hand... 8:30am for jersey people; talkabouts or no?

[9 Ball]

And how many PA people are heading to Red Robin? Just curious.

[TROLL]

i'll be at red robin if others are planning to meet there. who can i expect to see?
bryan

[seneca]

Ash/rest Ill be at wawa at 8:30 with you guys bearing "talkabouts." Since Bary isnt going any longer do we have a cell number for someone in the PA group so we can merge on the turnpike with them as planned?

[WRX27]

I am heading straight their if i go. I dont want to hold anyone up either. I plan on going but works calling. My name must be Barry. Im trying to work something out. We shall see.

[9 Ball]

You can expect to see the white Evo. :wink:

Jeff,

[Sincere]

im in, barry f that you have to go, damn the man.. can i run?

[dancemf666]

I'll be at the super wawa at 830.

[seneca]

how many people from pa are going? the jersey group is growing steadily. any other takers?

[TehWagon]

i now have yet another GD CEL. i'm going to stop by autozone at 8 in the am when they open since mike's scanner is in use :cough*ivan*cough: and see if it's anything serious. i'll be there ASAP.
no idon't have any pa peoples phone numbers but mine is 609-636-9815 - call me when u are on the bridge and we'll get moving and i'll call seneca if i'm not quite there yet.
that is all.

[JasterM5]

unfortunatly i have to bail on this. Not only do I not have the money, but I have to go do an engine swap in a Hachi tomm.

[TROLL]

undoubtedly the biggest subie/evo event that you could possibly attend in the northeast and look at the lack of attendance here... weak sauce.
bryan

[Sincere]

i also am unable to make it. hope you all have a good time.

[TROLL]

haaaaaaaaa

[04 Turbo Spec]

i'll be at red robin if others are planning to meet there. who can i expect to see?
bryan

[04 Turbo Spec]

im actually really excited about going tomm

[TROLL]

is anybody who is going up tomorrow from the neshaminy area planning to leave around 3ish to come back home? i'll drive if i have to but i figured i'd make a last minute effort to try and ride along with someone... but i need to be home by 4:15.
bryan

[seneca]

All you last minute poeple who bailed including the nasioc folks with 11 second car are a bunch of ****ing ***gots. To everyone else who found a sub, cacelled other plans and generally did what it took, props to you all.

[seneca]

pee ess Barry you get out of jail free cause at least you admitted trying to be a responsible individual.

[sisforsurfing]

I ended up coming up from Belmar, and then my phone died so I couldn't call everyone to see where they were. Regardless it was a good time.

That Big Valley car is sooo nice, I'm glad they didn't have any problems with it, everyone (in the WRX camp) was so amped when they won. I have some pictures I'll throw online later.

[seneca]

GO BIG VALLEY!!! Was an awesom eday for drag racing and an even better day for subaru even though we got handed our asses in the brackets. Wish BV would have thrown the slicks on for one more try at 9's on american soil but Im happy nonetheless.

-Seneca

[9 Ball]

Well, I had a good time, even though my 1/4 mile times… SUUUCKEED!!!!! After my second run I was like, “Screw the clutch, I’ve gotta make a better time on my next run. Run number 3, same thing… no power. My boost was dropping off dramatically. I could’ve gott’n my azz kicked by an OZ Lancer today.

Lucky for me a friend of a friend, was at the track and we took the car out on the back road. We were able to diagnose the problem.

Thank you Ash for the helmet, and most important, the tools!!!!

As it turned out, the hose that connects to the ABC controller was somewhat bent (kind of like a straw that’s bent.) We simply re-routed the small hose so it was straighter than before. Boost was also a little high, so we turned it down a little as well.

We took the car back out on the road and it flew like a rocket. It’s funny how something so minor can have such a dramatic effect on performance. It wasn't a total loss, at least I was able to solve the problem today. The car is performing superbly right now (much smoother and better then before) but I’ll have to redeem myself when I get back from vacation.

But anyway, I had fun today. Hope you guys did too!!!

[TehWagon]

any time jeff! glad it's fixed :)

had a blast today- SO PUMPED for BV... awesome stuff...

as for the guy in the evo w/the hood issues... well, i just had to post that up first... more to follow when i'm less busy!

Ahh you guys were all there? I only saw Troll for a moment and then Turbo Spec and Jinteg for a few minutes, wish I'd seen the rest of you.
I'll make another thread for pics in the gallery, I'm uploading mine now.

edit: just realized there already is one! I'll post mine there.

[GodSon]

I had a great time people! it was allot of fun and felt welcomed in the crew, The drive was up there was great and that viper definitely increased our pimp level. I haven't seen so many evos in my life, kinda made me feel unspecial. lol. My girl recorded some footage of us driving to english town (you might feel a little woozy watching it, becuase she just couldnt keep the camera still), i will see if i can get it loaded on my computer. I might need some help loading it to this website though. That evo 5 was exquisite, and the AMS evo was simply rediculous.
