Hello fellow Ottawa DSMer's, lol.
I was just sittin here thinking how nice it is, on a friday afternoon, and figured maybe we could all get together again at Denny's for a meet sunday at 2?
I figured, if we get in the habit of the first sunday of every month, at the same place, we wont even need to have a post like this? Somewhat like the Toronto Yorkdale meets I once was a part of.
Sorry about the late notice, but it just came to mind? Anybody in?

That could work. Again, I work weekends most of the time but I'll try and pull a few strings to make it there. You DO mean this weekend, right? DAMN! That means my Talon still won't be insured. I'm waiting for the snow to melt to bring my baby out of her slumber. Ah well, I'll just have to come by in one of the many winter beaters around here. Just thought I'd bring this up in the new thread as well: Steve from Ottawa Fiero was wondering if we'd be at all interested in some friendly/healthy competition with some of his club members, at the track among other places. Here's a copy of his e-mail; Perfect We'll I'm Steve, I run the Fiero club here in Ottawa, I'm just getting a hold of some of the other clubs here in Ottawa to see if they have any interest in joint events. We have around 40 members but rarely do we ever get everyone out, usually 1/4 at best and for track days can get expensive, so we were hoping to get a bunch of cars together to keep costs down. We just had a meeting and some idea's we were throwing around are a Drag day at the new Ottodrome, a day at Shannonville and a Dyno Day, but would love to hear if you guys have any plans and if you would be open to going together? Thanks Steve
Give me some feedback, guys! This could be a great way to make the DSM scene explode into action this season. Hopefully if I make it to the meet we can explore this further.

Saw a nice Eclipse yesterday at the blockbuster on carling (one by carlingwood)
It was all white. Had a (what looked like) a blitz front bumper cw' front grille (also painted white). had a big misubishi logo on the back window. had a 3" exhasut. Was a standard and had interior detailing done (white trim) not a bad looking ride over all.
I was origonally going to get that same type of bumper but now that I've seen it on that car I think I'll keep what I've got..
any body know who this is??

I will try to be there, not sure what's happening on that weekend just yet though. On a good note the car will be back together by then, the last thing left to do is put the valve cover back on and reinstall the front strut tower brace (happening this Saturday in my garage!)

Eric, I believe they're talking about the Denny's in South Keys, just off of Bank Street, near Hunt Club. You can't miss it, if you're heading south, it should be on the right hand side.

I'm always there. So 2 it is.
Crystal. Nice to see another gal join the group. Cindy is getting overwhelmed by all these males in the group. But she always has fun.
P.S. Cindy is looking for a talon. Peter. She likes yours. Heard you were selling?? good price for a 95+ talon/eclipse (prefferably FWD Turbo). Let her know.
P.S.S. Hope everyone gets one of those FRS radios. They're cheap now. No reason not to have one. (It's better than an ugly CB antenna on your car)
** Whoohoo. I'm still not a post whore. 353. very reasonable.

Peters is an NT and in good shape. Remember his blindingly quick high 16 sec runs?

HAHAHAHAH, easy now Tom! lol, I think my best was 16.7 ? It was a fun first time ever at the track. But ya, Chuck/Cindy, its a NT Its a 1997 with 144k on it. Ive been doing too much driving to back home, which ends up being about 1000km's of highway driving each time. Cheap on insurance though, but ya, my car is for sale, but will officially go for sale (autotrader, signs, etc) come early spring. Blindingly quick high 16 run, lol, im still laughing, yet crying at the same time.

Its all good Tom, Im hopeing by mid summer I'll have a TSi.
And it will be all go, and no show, other then suspension and maybe my 18's I have but I do like the stock rims on 97's
I for sure want a 97 or 98, im not a fan of the 95 and 96's.
Exhaust, Boost Controller, Blow off valave (I've always wanted that wooshing sound) Boost Guage, Turbo Timer, safc, etc. Will be some of the first things I do to it.
I hope to have it sold for sure by early spring, I guess every car has a buyer somewhere out there.

Yeah Peter, I might be interested in buying your car depending on how much you sell it for, but I'll have to take a look at it again since I only took a kick look inside your car last summer. So it would be great if you could send me picture of the inside, outside and the price too!!! If anyone else knows someone who's selling an Eclipse or a Talon let me know. I'm looking for a non turbo one(I cannot really afford to buy a turbo car, not that rich!! ), automatic or standard, black or grey (not a dark grey one though), with a/c. Thank's in advance.

Ya i think i am down to the last thing to do befor the car is in top running form. Won't start modifying until that point. Having a bad turbo was expensive but made myself feel better by just going to a Big 16G. Atleast then something good came out of it . The final thing is hopefully the balance shaft. The idle is a little 'lumpy' and there is some vibration over 4 grand. So we figure that is the cause. Won't have the balance shaft done by the time the meet is but the car still run See you guys and girls there.

Things are looking up for the meet on Sunday. I hope to see you all there, especially the new guys. Things to note include that I am finished with several different layouts for our local website and will be collecting opinions, comments, and suggestions. I will also be collecting some information regarding the local members to add to the web page. If you guys provide me with a couple paragraphs of personal/vehicular/whatever info, as well as some pictures of your rides in their prime, and list of mods/timeslips/etc, I'd be happy to add your details to your own section of the local site. Lastly, I will also require a valid e-mail address. ...More to be discussed at the meet, of course. G.

No address yet, but it's in the process. If there was already an Ottawa site, I wouldn't need to be making another one. Speaking of the site, I may as well mention now that I am going to be determining a fee(?) with you guys at the meet in order to have our own server. Why not use a free site like Geocities, you ask? Our site will be much larger than allocated space will be on any free site, and we are going to be running our own bulletin board which will (projectedly) be more than twice our allocated bandwidth. Having our own server would eliminate these complications, and will give us the opportunity to have more powerful scripting methods (PERL, CGI-BIN, and others). For the record, hosting a server can range between $300-500. I don't expect yearly member fees to exceed $25, nominally. G.
