Northern California discussions

[Danio]

www.NorCal240SX.org
I have talked to Matt, the owner of the norcal240sx.org domain name. We'll be transfering the ownership of that domain to me so I can use it to post upcoming meets, events, etc, and set up a NorCal mailing list. (The current one requires Yahoo membership to post and is pretty much inactive.) This way people don't have to look through different forums to find the next meet. Who ever wants to set up a meet will be able to publicize it at a place where NorCal 240SX owners will look for meets.

The NorCal 240SX dream
Hopefully the site and the mailing list will be set up before the end of August. I expect that this will help our NorCal group grow and beniefit all of us in some ways. Good deals on performance parts *looks at Jeff*, knowledgable 240SX owners to help with installs, people with common interests who you can hang out with, etc.
One of the first steps to forming an organized NorCal 240SX group that will be recognized by other auto enthusiast groups and whatnot is having an organized 240SX meet. =)

August meet
Now that many of us have met at the National Convention, let's meet again. =P This time let's also invite the 240SX owners who didn't get to go to the convention.

Would you people prefer a meet on August 11 or August 18? Lunch time meet or dinner meet? Once we Zilvia people have decided on those, we'll decide on the exact time and place and then publicize it to other forums. I'm not sure if this will turn out to be a small or large meet. We'll see how it goes.

I used 12 rolls of film during the 3-day convention. Most of the pictures have been developed (one more roll to go) and a lot of them look quite stunning. (Photography's one of my hobbies. Pics were shot with a Nikon N80.) I'll bring an album with the pics so whoever wants to request reprints for themselves can do so. I know you can just find pics online but hey, 240SX photos on matte paper with white borders are beautiful! You know you want one on your wall. =D

We'll also collect e-mail addresses from everyone for the mailing list. I don't know about you guys but I'm pretty excited about getting an active and unified NorCal 240SX group going for everyone. =P I really believe that the web site and mailing list will make a difference.

[BadMoJo]

You know whats lame for me is the fact that I live in between SoCal and NorCal... so its like... which way do I go?! <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/eh.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':eh:'>

I would like to head up to the Bay area for a meat some day though. &nbsp;Also we should try to work in a group track day. &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/thumbs-up.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':thumbsup:'>

[BlackFox]

Hey everyone, I got 2 more companies to my list. Endless/Zeal and Kaaz.

I could go to either night, I like the 11th better, I actually have another track day at Willow Springs on the 9th, but the big track this time. Night time would be better for me.

P.S. If you could take a good pict from my WebShots of Kate and post it up somewhere on the NorCal site "Best Stock S14" &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=''> &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=''> &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=''> We should have a memebers ride section too.

[BadMoJo]

Yeah, a members rides section would be cool. And Jeff could be our official parts hookup!! &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=''> &nbsp;And give us alll real good deals. &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=''>

[BlackFox]

That's what I'm here for, to help get everyone parts. I finally got through to B&M, apparently there's a $5k buy in so unless I can find like 25 buyers for the short shifter, I'm going to go through one of their wholesalers, which could be more $$... I'll find out tomorrow.

Who's interested in a B&M short shifter, if you tried Koto's, man, that thing is freaking amazing <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wow.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':0'> &nbsp; <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sly.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':sly:'> &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/thumbs-up.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':thumbsup:'>

[BlackFox]

Oh, Daniel, update my emails

Personal: [email protected]
Business: [email protected]

[Danio]

Haha Bill you can go either way. And hell yeah we'll definitely look more into track events. Day 3 was so much fun.

Hey Jeff I got a couple pics of you cleaning Kate. Very romantic. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=''>

I think the 11th would be better too, so the convention is still fresher in people's minds, and the 18th is probably too close to the meet being set up by someone else. All right let's just make it on the 11th. We'll make it a "Welcome Back" meet for Jeff and Kate or something. ^o^

Date: August 11 - Sunday

How about 6 PM so there's enough daylight time for checking out each other's cars and taking pictures? And then we all go eat.

[BlackFox]

Sounds good, I'll try out some of that new spiffy wheel cleaner I won. Lots of brake dust to clean off

[koto]

ok guys before u guys get the shifter, one fall back. after 4000rpm, the shiter makes a wineing noise till redline. other then that, its a kick ass shifter. if u guys wanna hear the noise i'll let u guys hear it next time we have a meet. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/thumbs-up.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':thumbsup:'>

koto "jdm" guy

[BadMoJo]

I have the B&M as well, I did a little mod to it so its not as loud anymore. I will have to show you guys sometime.

[SQ-XcON S13]

Dude, I hella wanted to go to the convention!! Oh well. &nbsp;But yeah I'm down for the meet on the 11th. &nbsp;I don't know if I'll have my damaged baby, or a civic (rental car), but I will make it. &nbsp;Where is it going to be at? &nbsp;Aiite, I'm outs.

[koto]

oh yea jeff, u want my fogs right? just e mail me [email protected]. i'll sell it to u for cheap , just hook me up with some kazz 1.5 way. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=''>

[GotDriftS14]

the website is a great idea. &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=''> &nbsp; i cant wait til its up and running, members rides section would kick ass! &nbsp;and jeff, have you tried to contact JIC? &nbsp;i'll guaruntee you that i'd buy from you if u carried JIC, cuz i like their stuff. &nbsp; do u work with cusco too? &nbsp;i wanna get some sway bars in the very near future. &nbsp;so is jeff the only one who named his baby? &nbsp;my baby's name is Ariel, anyone else have names?

[BlackFox]

GotDrifts14- Mike?

I'm going to contact JIC soon, I'm trying to finish up some stuff with OBX and TEIN right now. And I have to set up a Whiteline sway group buy. I'll keep you updated.

Koto: I'll send you an IM if you're online later tonight, I'll get home at around 10:15pm from class at DeAnza. Kaaz 1.5 way?, no problem, let me know when you want it.

[drifting240racer]

I say meet on the 18th at anytime lunch is good for those ppl who have to drive awhile to get there and get back before the day is over. Also look at the heat for the day or where ever we are going to meet.


Drifting240racer


{edit} Guess I am just a bit late{/edit}

[kilonox]

the 18th would work. I just found out about the norcal team.
Lunch would be ok but a little later so we could get an
evening cruise on would be optimal.

the norcal240sx site needs to get going and I'm willing
to help out. we need to represent against all these
boy band car clubs and honda pride gangs <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=''>

[BadMoJo]

Who is Mike? is it GotDrift?

[Danio]

GotDriftS14 = Mike from Stockton with the white S14. (Right?)

Drifting240racer (what's your name again?) and Karsten, would the 11th work for you guys? I prefer the 11th over the 18th because there is a meet being set up by someone else that's supposed to take place on the 23rd, but it's not really a big issue. And where are you from?

[BlackFox]

11th, I vote 11th, must see all the cool picts and stuff soon. dinner time is good.

[GotDriftS14]

yep im mike, white S14, anybody got a problem?? <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/mad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':angry:'>

<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/cool.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=''>

and i vote for the 11th &nbsp; <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/lookaround.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':look:'>

[JC240]

11th is good . On the 18th im gonna be in socal .I will go to this one for sure if its not too far to drive.

[SQ-XcON S13]

11th, D&B? &nbsp;Details, details....please.

[Danio]

Some of us were thinking of having the meet inside D&B, where we can play arcades and all have dinner together. The problem is that we'll probably have a lot of people who are underage, under 21. Each adult 25 years or older can only bring in a maximum of four underage people. In other words at least 1/5 of the meet's attendees will have to be 25 or older, and I personally only know of two NorCal 240SX members who are that old. :P So let's think of other locations.

Any suggestions? Certain malls or shopping centers, restaurants, parks, etc?

[Agent_S13]

Hey Danio-

&nbsp; &nbsp; Put my vote down for the 11th as well.

On a side note: I was thinking about getting ppl into DnB (while this is quite immature, I think Koto would agree to it haha)

Anyway, we would have 1 person who is 25 walk up w/ some younger ppl and take them inside. Then they could come out and take another group of underage ppl in. Most of the time, they don't care as long as the 25 yr old doesn't do it too much. Reminds me of how to get 3 ppl into a movie w/ 2 tickets. &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=''>

Just how many people under 21 are going to be at this meet anyway? I'm 21 so I don't have to worry about these restrictions... its just too bad I can't bring anyone in with me. &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'>

Is the 7 pm time, no matter what location we agree on still the norm for this meet? We'll need details!

P.S. At the meet, I'll show you all what happened to my clear signal bumper light on the drive back from LA... UGH. If anyone's got a clear bumper light housing for the passenger side, please let me know. Thanks!

I have no idea how many underage people we'll have, but if people 25 or older can bring in some underage people, walk out and bring in some more (most likely won't have to do it more than once), then we probably won't have a problem. Are you sure they can do that though? :P

Let's have the meet start around 5:00 or 6:00 PM if it's gonna be a dinner meet, so the people who have to drive an hour or two won't have to get home too late. Underage people would have to be out of D&B by 11:00 anyway.

We'll probably meet outside for an hour or so (maybe longer cuz I KNOW some people will be an hour late! :P) and greet each other, check out each others' cars, etc. Then go in for dinner and arcades for maybe two hours. (Hey Koto and I didn't see any Initial D arcade that someone was talking about.)

And afterwards, people can do whatever they want. At the end of meets people usually go home or go do something together in smaller groups.

That's all assuming we're having the meet at D&B and can bring in all the underage people who show up. :P By the way, for those who don't know, D&B is in Milpitas at the Great Mall.

[jyt747]

Hey Daniel, I'm down for a meet on the 11th. I guess you and koto decided it was a good spot to meet huh? security doesn't really care unless people start doing donuts, revving, etc... Hopefully nothing like the lake elizabeth meet. 6 pm is fine with me... I'll be coming back from vegas the day before so that'll be enough time for me to recuperate (sp?) See you guys then.

[Danio]

Alan, can you get off work early or take the day off? If not, give one of us a call after you're off work and we'll let you know what we're doing.

Michael (great, same name as the other member in Stockton), or "Racer", well if you really can't make it on the 11th, there'll be future meets you can go to. :P
