Brampton Meet.

I think the weather is wonderful for us to meet, and I figure in the next few weeks it will be warm during the night so we can hang out a bit.

I think out last meet was on a monday or a tuesday (i can't recall) so we can all let eachother know when is good. I was thinking the week of April 15 would be good as it would give us just over a week to figure everything out. Trinity works very well last time so we should have it there again this time.

As for my availability usually mon tues and some thursday's are good.

Great idea! I will be avaible after April 27th.

I'll walk there My car isn't ready but I wouldn't mind putting a face to a name and seeing more DSM.

Im itchin so I will most likely be there when ever you guys decide...

K so should we have a meet on the week that I had mentioned and then we can do another in the first or second week of may when alex is available?

Also of those that could come that week, what day is best for you?

I don't mind, I live like 5 min away so whatever you guys decide.

I'll try and make it too!

I can make it out after this month also.

Cool, you bringing the purple plymouth?

I'll be there, too

Is it on Dixie & Trinity in Mississauga? (dixie & britannia)

I'll come (with pictures of my car in a million pieces )

410 and bovaird. We can do a mississauga meet for the next one.

Rob, I am just happy to meet board members!

Dude, thats a long drive from LA

I am good monday to thursday just let me know

Four days Take off April 25th

Alright guys the meet is going down on the 17th of this month at trinity common in brampton. What time is good for everyone!?

Craig and I might try to come down from Guelph for this. I'm itching to spend time around DSMs again!

I might try to come out to Brampton. Maybe i will bring what ever left over parts i have and we can have a garage sale! lol

Swap meet!!!

better then swapping meat

Errr, ill see if i can come down that night. Currently seeing my kids at lunch and im working that night.

Let me know what time would be good that day.

You guys vote for a time. Majority wins.

I'll just see if i can come at that given time.

Is the date THIS Tuesday?

Yes, the 17th. Since nobody's mentioned a time... how does 7pm work? Should give people a chance to get there while leaving enough sunlight to look over the rides

I was thinking the same thing Jeremy.

Can someone please bring camera and take pictures?

can do

I brought it last time but never ended up taking pics, spent more time socializing.

What worked best for me is to take pics from far away, so no one can see you take pictures.

I can bring a camera too I like taking pics

7pm works for me too

Anybody have an OEM bumper crash bar (the plastic and foam that goes over it) they want to get rid of? I'll grab it there if you bring it. I'm getting rid of the metal beam the original owner had on mine :S.

That's the way my rear is!! If any one happens to have the rear bumper please hook me up too!

I have one if you need. If i end up coming i will try to bring it.

My Evo is in for Surgery! Fawk me the timing chain stretched on me 2 days ago. 85k on the car and only had it 2 months. I will know later today if warranty will cover it but they said they will have it till Wed the earliest as they need to over the parts.

Watch them try to blame your new intake...

I was smart and put the oem on

The exhaust on the other hand was too much effort to remove

I've read some of the Genesis Coupes 2.0T are having the same chain stretch issues.

Jeez, what a pain. Going to a chain instead of a belt and it's got problems like this.

Hope it works out for you Tim.

If I make it, I'll bring my new Camera but haveth no DSM.

Holy.. already?! Hopefully they will cover it.




Damn dude, you still alive??

Ill see if i can reach. Tue is a long day for me, so ill see how it turns out for me.

They denied warranty

I should be there, I will have lots of work to do on Sunday and Monday but will be there with my new turbo and FMIC!

What kind of a turnout are we looking at here? I might come out.

Sick son!! I am thinking it will be about the size of our last brampton one so around 10 people give or take a few.

I think i am out. Not a snow balls chance in hell i will have my car back this week. Maybe i will make it to the next one.

Sorry to hear that Tim, hopefully everything works out ok for you.

Doesn't look like Craig and I are going to make it down after all; he's still waiting to get his car out of storage (mine's off the road).

We'll have to be sure to make it down for the next one though!

X2. Exams

I am in. Hope you can make it out Rob.

I am now wondering if we should reschedule this, there is a lot of people who can no longer come and our numbers seem to continue to decrease. Should we reschedule for next week?

Why cant it be on a sunday afternoon?

I second Sunday afternoons!

We can do that but if the girlfriend is not working I may only be there for an hour and then dip.

Sunday afternoon is perfect

If there is one today (not sure anymore) I won't be making it . Been coughing up a lung last night ant it got worse today.

Sunday might be good. I am getting my car back hopefully on Friday

I can probably pass by Sunday afternoon.

If it's two Sundays from now I'm sure could try and come. This Sunday have some getaway thingy with my dealership..

booo, looks like i still wont have my car SOrry guys maybe another time

This Sunday I'm playing hockey in Oakville in the evening so I'm out too

K So what do you guys suggest?

reschedule to a weeknight?

Arent weeknights bad for most? Traffic, work, dinner, bla bla bla.

My only days for peace, rest and play are sundays.

We all get more reliable cars so a can make it?

Week nights are best for me, I can still come on a sunday just won't be for long and it would have to be later.

Just got my ride out of storage tonight :))))))

When and where we meeting?

K what you guys thinking, I say we wait for this weather to get better again.

I am just waiting to get my car out of Shop prison then im good to go.

So whens the B TOWN meet boys ? I might just cruise down if I got nothing better to do , and if you guys actually decide to meet

When would be good for you Reza?

This weather now I think is holding us back a bit, it is supposed to start warming up at the end of next week so maybe in two weeks?

Well if it was an Ajax meet, I'd give you a time. You Brampton boys figure it out and I'll show up

Sounds like not many people have their cars together though.....canadian DSMer's.... the usual....

K cool!

How is May 8th for everyone? It should be warming up by then and hopefully won't be raining.

Damn thats far..... Wake me up when May comes around

Sounds good to me

I may be coming to Brampton this sunday to get parts... I know I have parts here for many people, Mabye we can all meet somewhere? Ill try to bring my 92autoawd!

Bryan, you still want the wing?, someone wanted the window trims(Danny).. and someone wanted the mirrors? Tim you have a cable for me? And maybe some brakes?

Any Meets soon guys?

Was just discussing this yesterday, I think we should try and reschedule this. When is good for everyone, is next week too soon?

Im hoping to have my car on the road by the end of this week. If that happens then Ill come out for a meet next week.

Tuesday May 29th, how is that for everyone, or you guys still want to do a sunday thing?

I will do the Sunday thing and the 29th works for me

I will come to anything that I can leech a ride off Craig for

As long as I don't run into any problems I should be good for the 29th.

Sooooooo whats the plan guys, we meeting on Tuesday?

i am down how is seven for everyone?

If it works for Craig it works for me

Well because you guys seem to be the farthest to travel you guys let us know if you want to change the time, but for now 7 sounds good.

7 works for me

Well I ran into some problems, nothing major but enough to set back my project another few days. Doesn't look like I'll make it out for this meet Next one for sure though.

Ok 7 pm, where we meeting? C'mon guys lets get some motivation going. Lets get more than 2 DSM's out to this. Bring the ladies out of their garages to see some sunlight

trinity common plaza in brampton, it's right off the 410

Cool be there for 7 C'mon guys lets have a good turnout

I'll be there around 7:30

I'm gonna try and make it..

where abouts at Trinity (it is a big place)??

good point Mark, last time we did it in the zellers parking lot near the starbucks and there was a good amount of space there so I think that is the way we should go.

Ok. In here :-D

Thanks everyone for being there. Pics are posted in the "post your car pic page"

Thanks for taking those pics Alex! Was a good time. Great to meet you guys

I say we try to get more than a half dozen out next time

Mark, it was great to see PPG again Bryan nice to meet you I say boycott the wash Alex good to see you again. like the SPYDER If ya ever wanna part her out Thanks for the pics.
Hopefully next meet we can get a few more cars out.

hahaha Thanks Craig, nice meeting you too. So far the boycott is going well, I am sure I can keep it up!

Who would be interested in another meet in the next few weeks?

I'm in.

I would be in long as its not Monday/Tuesday/Thursdays. Finally got her running.

cough, cough, mississauga, cough.....

Tim, if you want to do mississauga than take it away.

Wednesday is ok for me as long as it starts around 6 as I would have to be out of there by 8.

Mississauga is better. Plan something Tim!

Lemme know when Jeremy and me will cruise over for sure

Please try and make it on a Friday afternoon, or at least make sure it's not a Sunday. I've missed the last 2 meeting because of work (1 was the K/W meet) I've been dying to go to a meet for months now lol

Craig when you guys come do you take the 401 or the 403?

We generally take backroads through Acton, etc.

Than through Georgetown?

No idea, I kinda stop paying attention It's certainly not set in stone though; what's up?

Well you guys drive the furthest so I didn't want to move it even farther from you.

Ah it's all good. The cruise down and back is half the fun

Ok cool

The last time we did one in mississauga was in a plaza that I don't remember where, maybe we can do it there, hopefully one of the individual who was there can let us know the location.

Mavis & Britannia McDonald's? I think security rolled through but they didn't bug us. That's the regular Missy spot, we parked in the bigger lot to the east of McD's.

Yeah that is it! Let's do that.

I'll more then likely come out for this meet. If you guys want to do it Mississauga we can always do it at meadowvale town centre

(http://maps.google.ca/maps?hl=en&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_qf.,cf.osb&biw=1366&bih=636&um=1&ie=UTF-8&q=meadowvale+town+centre+stores&fb=1&gl=ca&hq=meadowvale+town+centre+stores&hnear=0x882b469fe76b05b7:0x3146cbed75966db,Mississauga,+ON&cid=0,0,4545387731265429955&sa=X&ei=hbbsT6rKDcjj0QHzh63IBQ&sqi=2&ved=0CHwQ_BIwBg&oi=local_group&ct=image)

Or we can go to Heartland (Terry Fox Tims) lots of different groups of cars meet there like VW, Subarus, and of course Hondas. We should show these guys some real cars

(http://maps.google.ca/maps?hl=en&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_qf.,cf.osb&biw=1366&bih=636&um=1&ie=UTF-8&q=meadowvale+town+centre+stores&fb=1&gl=ca&hq=meadowvale+town+centre+stores&hnear=0x882b469fe76b05b7:0x3146cbed75966db,Mississauga,+ON&cid=0,0,4545387731265429955&sa=X&ei=hbbsT6rKDcjj0QHzh63IBQ&sqi=2&ved=0CHwQ_BIwBg&oi=local_group&ct=image)

Didn't see Robs post while I was posting this. His location is a good one too!

Bryan ya we come through Georgetown

Okay maybe i missed it - but what day?

No day has been decided, how many weeks do you guys need to be ready for this, is next week too soon?

Heartland and the location Rob and I were talking about are basically the same. Or do we want Dave's other location?

Yeah like Rob said, Heartland is the hot spot for car meets. I just wanted to throw out some options. I'm good for any day other then Friday or Saturday and next week is good for me.

I work at the Rona at heartland I'll just take an extra long lunch so any day after 4 is good enough for me. There is always hondas and VWs at the tim hortons there so like david said maybe we can show them some real cars. Well you guys can for sure... my car needs more love and care still... actually cash. I give it more love and care then anything else, it's the cash holding me back

We should organize a track day to cayuga . Since Invasion is in September lets do a track day in end of July or something. I know alot of people want to go.

Yeah that sounds good to me! Let's do this meet this week and then we can look at planning the Cayuga trip.

Cool, I work 3-11 all this week and Im off all next week. So set a date Bryan.

K well we can do the meet next week than.

What day is good for everyone?

The location is heartland town center. Tuesday is a no go for me, any other day is good. How is wednesday for everyone?

If we do it Wednesday Ill be able to come by around 830 or 9

I can make it anytime, anywhere, any weather. Just waiting for final confirmation.

Im In for anyday.

Pick a day I will be coming from Barrie.

wed works what time will you guys be there till?

I was thinking of starting around 6 or 7 but I would have to peace at 8.

Hopefully there is no traffic on the highway around 6 lol, I think 7 8 start is better

So, its tomorrow at 20:00 @ Heartland Town Centre west of Mcd's?

Sure, I won't know till tomorrow if I will be attending or not.

K I will be there tonight! See everyone at 8pm

okay

The meet was a mild success but none the less a great first meet for me. pictures coming tomorrow?

Yes sir

The only day I couldn't go

Nice I didn't even notice that pictures were taken. It was a small meet but It was fun none the less. Those cars inspire me to keep working on the car

Fantastic pictures Alex, I enjoyed meeting you three and hope to see you at the next event.

Top up in the last set Alex? Keep it down! it's summer lol.

Thanks Terry, I had good time meeting you all.



I was protecting my precious black interior and black leather seats from space radiation

ahahah, yeah it was a good meeting, great seeing Dave and Alex again and nice meeting Terry.

looks like a decent meet, congrats on organizing a DSM meet with success, ill keep an eye on the next meet, ill swing by as well.

Ok so I missed the Invasion Now I'm itching to to see some DSM's Soooo when's the next Brampton meet?

If yall can wait I have a sending unit I wanted to put in, how is next week?

sounds good to me. Let me know if you need extra hands with that sending unit

Make it Thrusday night and swing by the Ertefa meet. I think they have over 150 cars that show up. I believe its in the parting lot of Dave and Busters.

We would have to make it a cruise, it would take us a little over a half hour to get there.

Thanks Alex, will do!

who does not like a nice cruise....

I have a wedding this Thurs so i cant make it but im going next week for sure.

Next Thursday sounds good to me. I've been wanting to go to Ertefa for awhile now.

I should be there and hopefully with my new 3" cat already installed

So I think we should meet on the south west corner of queen and McLaughlin (coffee time and husky gas), and then we can just take queen all the way to the meet. I figure if we are all there at 7 we can leave around 8:30 and then be at ertefa just after 9

I've got a bouldering competition that night in Kitchener otherwise I'd be there. Finish my finals earlier that day.

I been meaning to go to that meet as well i just might make it down.

So who is coming tonight?

Not sure if today is a good day to meet. It will rain all day

We could change the location of the meet? If we meet at bramalea in any of the covered parking lots the rain would't be a problem. And it is still on the way (actually closer), assuming were still going to the ertefa meet.

Im down where and when

like Alex said Ertefa isn't going to be very much fun if we are all soaked. How is next week for everyone?

Next week is dsm shootout so some guys are going up

yeah and i realized i am out of town
How about the week after that?

I was looking forward to the DSMs more then the actual ertefa . I guess it will have to wait

^
Same here

I might just wipe the dust off my car and make an appearance

So I guess we're waiting two weeks then lol

Who is coming this thursday?

I think we should stick with out meeting spot at the south west corner of queen and McLaughlin (coffee time and husky gas) and then just take queen all the way to the meet.

I'm in!!! What time?

Meet at 7:30 and head to Ertefa at 8:30, how does that sound?

I will also add that I will be downtown at FanExpo so anyone that is driving from downtown we can meet the Brampton guys at Ertefa in Vaughn.

I will be parked at a small parking lot at the corner of wellington and simcoe. Who is coming from downtown toronto?

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but Ertefa is cancelled indefinitely due to assholes street racing out of there.
“*** Please SHARE THIS and TELL your friends *** THANKS A LOT GUYS

*Due to some accidents that accrued few weeks ago on hwy7 because of street racing, York region police and the property management is not allowing us to have the meet this Thursday. Anyone who comes out will be trespassing and they have the permission to give you tickets on whatever they see necessary.
We will keep you updated as we hear back from property management and York regional police.

Until further notice meet is cancelled. We will inform you when the meets resume.”

There is rumor that they are trying to set one up around Square one.

Thanks for the tip Tim, it doesn't state that on the website. If they do have it at square one that will be perfect that way can drop by on the way home.

What is our back up plan if they don't do that?

Brian: Go to the Ertefa facebook page and scroll down

I think I would have to login, I can see people commenting asking about when it will be but it tells me I have to login to see the what they are commenting on.

http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=731872

Ok so we can all meet at Heartland Town Centre. How is 9 for everyone?

Location:

885 Britannia Rd W
Mississauga Ontario
L5V 2X8

Tonight?

Thursday night.

9 is cool with me. Hopefully, if everything works out - i'll show up with my new ride

Edit: which side? Mcdonalds?

I am not sure. We usually meet near the mcdonalds in an open parking lock, I wouldn't mind checking out the other cars, but we can move once we are all there.

I may drop by with a friend, not with my car since it's still under the knife but wouldn't mind meeting some people.

If anyone needs something from James Karban's partout let me know because I'm going there before I go to the meet (not huge things, I'll be in a civic :p).

I might drop by if my plans end early and don't go too late.

I finally get to meet some of you in my damn DSM.

I will probably be there are 10, my thing in toronto is not done till 9

Sweet

Well everyone on the board now has my number since it's posted in that Help!!! thread, so give me a quick text when you guys are there.

I'll reply back and confirm whether I can make it or not.

Cheers!

So, I probably am not going to FanExpo today so I will probably be there round 9.

^ I'm going there Sat

Have you been before Guillaume, Saturday is the last day I would go. All the other days the crowd is pretty good but Saturday is always brutal, but usually has the most stuff to do.

Well I'm just tagging along with a couple buddies of mine. Never been before figured I'd see what the all the hub-bubz about Sat is the day they picked, so I just nod and smile

I love going and always get the VIP pass, this year I didn't know what i was doing during this time so i missed out on it this year. A few of us will be at the MTCC but we will be at ImportFest. This is the second year ImportFest is the same weekend, this will probably be my last year for IF if it happens again.

Did you guys want to start at 8 instead of 9?

How many of the DSMrs will be attending? I don't think I'll be able to get this alignment done today and Brampton is a little far to drive like this

If its at 9 I might be able to get out of work and make it

I cant make it, the car is in the shop with no brakes and i cant figure out where the leak is.

Put the car up on the stand with someone inside, fill the brake resevoir and stomp on it. That's how I found mine.

Is the meet still at the McDonalds in heartland?

Yeah I think we should do that, there is an open lot that's just east of mcdonalds, you should see us there. What time you want to start at?

9 is fine. I work in the opposite corner so it will take me 2 minutes to get there. Assuming I can get off an hour early. Worst case if the ertefa meet is at the tim hortons in heartland I guess I could just go there at 10 after work since its in the same plaza

I did, but there's a small leak on rear driver side hard line.

The problem is, NO brakes at all. You stomp on the brake pedal and it goes all the way to the floor. Even then, it still wont brake. So there's a blockage somewhere and the shop confirmed it.

If Deep can get to me by tonight, ill have the car towed to his place to get a 2nd opinion.

If not, ill have the car towed at my place and i'll work on getting rid of the ABS, hard lines, proportioning valve and install new ones.

And my rear calipers are siezed, need rear rotors, need front rotors and possibly calipers as well...

FFS *sigh*

Well you have my number if I can be of any assitance, probably best if you get rid of ABS, that's frustrating that there is a blockage, must be pretty far up if none of the brakes are working.

Thanks man, but i dont need help yet.

Maybe with my TB during the winter

Oh can someone post the exact address please, so I can find my way.

I'm guessing it's this



and then look for a Mc Donalds

Thanks!

McDonalds...how tempting.

Ok see you all at 9

I'll be there a bit earlier maybe.

On my way

sh!t....its been a while since I logged in so I guess I missed the meet. Prob couldn't of made it anyway, my third rebuilt alternator is on the fritz again. Hope it was a good turn out.

Cool meet, it was nice to meet all of you, glad I can finally put a face to some of you I'll have mine out and about soon enough to join the ranks!

it wasn't bad, there were 5 of us basically. It was my 1st meet and it went really well the ertefa meet wasn't bad either but could have been better

Yeah the Ertefa meet reminded me too much of why I hate Brampton

Great to meet you finally Alex!

Good to meet some guys off the board.

I had fun.

Yes Brampton has a little too many kids wanting to race at every light, but most of the guys were friendly.

Even a bunch rolling with 3 335is and 1 GT-R.

One guy showed up in a beat down MR2, non turbo, with dealer plates asking $5k for it.

There was a lot of rust all over.

Pffft.

Looking forward to more meets!

Really 5grand for that thing...I missed that lol Wow

Kinda like the Charger with "apparently 1000HP" hehe

That was a Camaro man! Haha, you need to brush up on the competition.

lol I'm muscle car dumb, but I like them a lot

Oooooo', I should've asked you guys while we were there.

What a good exhaust solution would be.

Can I just grab a downpipe and have it installed onto my car the way it is with the cat back that's on there now.

Etc, etc

PM me Michael lee, I have an AWD 2.5 inch downpipe I can sell you for $50? let me know if your interested

Yup, nice meeting you all. Glad I could finally make it to a meet

Nice meeting all the new faces! Agreed, it is always good to put a face to a name and to actually properly be able to pronounce that name

Micheal, you would have to look at how the downpipe connects to the rest of the exhaust. Got any pictures?

We should have another meet soon

Yeah for sure, mid september I think would be good, how is that for everyone?

Mid September works for me, there should be a meet at least every second week!

Yes every two weeks. Maybe we could go a little earlier so we still have some sunlight, say 6-7.

Every 2 week in a different part of the GTA.

Agreed. This will allow other members an opportunity to participate so that it's not always the exact same crowd. Since the last two meets were in the Mississauga area maybe we could do Brampton? or some where in toronto

Richmond Hill maybe?

Sounds good to me.

At different spots in the gta? that's absolutely genius..I think Bryan is the only man that can spear head a dynamic meet like this, I hope hes up to the challenge.

Bryan, you've been volenTOLD!

You too Michael!

There a meet tonight?

I dont think so Tim

^ For some reason that made me think of the TV show "Home Improvement".....with Tim "the tool man" Taylor..

^^






Ok, now you made me think about Debbe Dunning... RAWR!

oh geez... we should have a meet soon though

I thought meets were on...oh wait it WAS Wednesday, I remember the euro beats playing on Z103.5 on the way home.

Nothing tonight?

I feel like Tim the tool man half the time I am working on my car. Its rare that i finish a job without loosing blood or a tool

If you go tonight then do Square 1. I think the Evo/Lancer guys will be there as well. Make it a big Mitsu family meeting

So....any meet goin down this weekend?

I hope so. I could go for one tmrw after 7

Tomorrow after 7 could work

Who's down for setting up a meet tonight for a few hours?

.....not everyone at once now

long week every1 busy I guess but maybe one this weekend?

Lets do it...Saturday/Sunday?...location? I'm up for Sunday at the tims off of Britannia by the silvercity, theres usually a good turnout. or any other suggestion of course.

Sunday at 730?

Im good with that, any one else want to chime in?

Chances are I will not be there, hockey game on Sunday and will probably be out of town on Saturday so either way I'm out this wkn. I'd be a spectator anyway

unlucky guillaume well this weather won't last long so we need to get at least a couple of meets before the cars go into hibernation

I may be in if it's this coming Sunday at 7:30 - depends greatly on if I get the brake kit installed on my Malibu in time or not.

I hope you can make it. Hopefully we have a good turn out before the weather gets too cold

Where is the meet gonna be?

Terry suggested a tim's off of britannia, not really sure which one he is referring to

sorry I kinda dropped the ball on that one, I meant Trafalgar road and Dundas area. to be specific 43.515887,-79.688249

That's specific lol ok so 730 tmrw?

Sounds good to me, unfortunately if its raining I will be driving either my civic or the CRV cuz the spyder only See's quality weather

LOL lucky lucky man... any1 else coming out?

Looks like I might crash this. (I say crash, because I'm one of those EX-DSMer guys..)

I'll be on the yellow bike in my best power-ranger outfit.

Ok you say trafalgar and Dundas, but those coordinates are for Dundas near the 403.

Which is it? They're quite far apart.

wow, my lack of directional knowledge seems to bite me in the ass repeatedly. please go by the coordinates I posted.

Cant wait to see you all there.

Yup, dundas just east of the 403. Thank god I did one last check at work. See you all shortly

nice little turnout tonight. Pedro heres the pictures you wanted, I hope there good enough quality for ya.

LOLOLOL thanks a ton terry, really nice meeting everyone. Finally got to see the purple beast every1 has been talking about..."drool". Hopefully we get one more before the end of the year

I prefer daylight :-D

I also prefer a less car infested venue...maybe I'm just getting too old for parking lots full of cars :-D

Nice to make it out again. I agree, one more if possible!

It's hard to find empty parking lots during daylight hours. I guess it depends how early everyone is free

I was at a work function

One more if possible for sure, or more?

The parking lot at Hershey center in the north lot is usually empty plus there is tons of space.

ok so now we need a time... friday the 14th or 21st around 5 or 6?

Progress Baby!

Can we do it earlier in the week? Hershey centre is good, we did a meet there last summer, tons of space!

This Friday is definitely too early for this group. I think we should plan this for two weeks from now.

Which days are better for everyone, monday, tues and every other wednesday (next week is the good wednesday for me), is good for me

Ok so next Wednesday the 19th, hersey center and is 5-6 ok? hopefully we can get in a really good meet before the year ends

I will be there but much after 6pm cuz I get off of work around 6.

Cool.

Next meet is Wednesday the 19th, Hershey Center at 6pm.

Ill definitely try and make it to this one. Might be late because my class ends at 6.

Well that sucks. I'll still be in ottawa.

We will definitely be there for a while since we're starting nice and early. Or if enough people prefer we could move it up to 7? Although I don't think that will help Tyler out too much

Yeah I am with Pedro, I don't mind chilling there till ten, but I will definitely need me some food halfway through

Hopefully we can make this a big one as the season, for most of you, is coming to an end.

Reza, what ever happened to you coming out to one of the meets!?

Well since you guys can't decide on a date, and have them during the weekdays, maybe we should have a Brampton meet in Ajax so I can make it.

There's a timmies at Rossland and Harwood. How about you guys make it there and I'll bring out the beast Lots of backroads here too!

LOL usually we can't. However, Friday September the 21st at 6pm Hersey center in the north parking lot. Like Bryan said we will be there all night. And if you cant make that hopefully we can squeeze in another meet in ajax

Damn, I get home from work(downtown) at 6:15pm lol. You see my point if I made it out it would be around 8-9 pm.

Don't any of you Brampton guys work ?

That's what I was wondering too.

If a meet is on a weekend, I'm down to meet anywhere in the GTA or outside of it, especially if it's west of town, since I have to head back to Waterloo on Sunday nights. If it's a weekday, it's gotta be later, like Reza said.

Reza, I may have to take you up on that offer to come out to Ajax and check out 'the beast' and the backroads!

Reza, how about we meet at the Picton Airfield on the 22nd for some arm drop racing

Brian set up another Rings of Halton cruise. That was good times.

Unno about anyone else but I work part-time on weekends Well like I said if it's better for everyone we can move it up to 7... were always there for at least two hours and once everyone else starts coming Im sure we will stick around even longer. The reason we're doing early is because we want some sunlight

The wife is with me only on the weekend which is why I always like to do the meets during the week, I also work at home a lot so late nights are usually ok.

I think Tim remembers last time I brought the wife to a meet...

We will setup a meeting next month during the weekend, that way we can have everyone come out. What is better for people saturday or sunday. I will also choose a place that is more east then we usually choose.

Ok I need two weeks notice and I can do a Saturday anywhere in the GTA or a late Sunday like 8-9

Yeah it will probably be longer than that. I will probably start a new thread. I think Tim's idea of hamilton ring is a good one

haha, this time i will not let my wife navigate!

ahahah, well she didn't have the blue dot which makes it a little more difficult, so I would say technology and her were at fault on that one

I'm tentative, random sh!t popping up lately for work and personal life.

Reza, I'm down to meet you in Ajax, I'm closer to Ajax than Brampton.

Let me know when.

Your right Tim that Hamilton ring was BOMB...minus that dirt road we took right before the Dollarama, it was bumpy as sh!t. other than that I hope to see a better turn out then 5 guys at this Hershey center

I'd like to take the EVO out on a nice cruise at least one more time before I put at away at the end of the month.

Rings of Halton sounds interesting!

If its Sunday the 23rd. Anyone planning to go to CSCS ?

I am thinking of going to the CSCS I just have to check the calendar. I am supposed to go to the Picton Arm drop races on the 22nd but that is up in the air. Cayuga is way closer so that might be a better plan.

For those of you that have not been to the ring here is a vid of me following Alex

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kcu7qYCFC7Y&feature=plcp

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7kUeFI9uGOY&feature=plcp

I have been to the Forks this summer as well and I liked this much better. There is a road leading up to this through Mississauga/Oakville that i would recommend. Lower baseline road.

Sorry to clarify i prefer the Halton Ring of the Forks of the credit. It is less busy and way less Officers of the law. Now that i am trying to promote speeding

You are promoting speeding!!! Shame on you!

I have to agree with Tim though, but mainly because the Halton ring will take almost an hour or so, depending on navigator :P, and forks of the credit takes you maybe 15 minutes. Also as Tim mentioned the Ring, at least when we went, was not crowded at all!

As for lower baseline, I have not been able to check that out but definitely would be down!!

I also have another route to extend it all the way to Eglington and 9th line in Mississauga. That adds another 30 mins of beautiful back roads.

Bryan, have you tested making a map in Google then importing it into your phones google maps? Will it follow the same route or redirect you via shortest path?

Woot..Woot! I'm getting so pumped!!

So what I did when we did the halton ring was create the map in google maps and save it in my maps and then open it in my phone. The only issue is that you don't get turn by turn navigation. What I did when we did the ring was just follow the roads that were bolded by my map. The way you make sure it doesn't take the shortest route is grab the route and drag it to the road you want to go on, this way it doesn't add it as a destination. I don't think it let me save it after that though so I had to export it then reimport it

That is too bad. I was hoping to get navigation to work with it. I guess i will try to experiment with it.

yeah give it a go, maybe there is a way to get navigation to work to make it take your route, i will do some research and report back with my findings!!

I just found this from Thom, a Google employee post 2/24/2010:

Thanks for the question. What you've described is a fairly popular feature request for Google Maps Navigation. At this time, the behavior you're requesting isn't possible with the application. The team's aware of the desire and is exploring ways to better incorporate route selection/manipulation, etc., into Navigation, so look to changes in the app in the near future.

Wait & hope

\
BALLS!

Balls indeed

Agreed!

Here is the Ring map I made, it's open to everyone know so Tim if you want to add to it then go wild.

http://goo.gl/maps/6FqhJ

Oh forgot to note that this doesn't back track at all so the route is actually a little longer if we plan on just doing the ring and heading back, this was because I didn't want to back track then go to cayuga, I don't think there is much missing though.

So we are doing the ring and heading to Cayuga on the 23rd right ? I'm In and will have a couple cars joining us.

What time on the 23rd??

I would be interested in joining this team to cayuga. Let me know.

905 531 0758

Trees started to change colour up north. Writing this from algonquin park. I can imagine how much beautifull the halton ring can be on bright cool sunny day surrounded by colorful trees. Perfect time for our cruise.

Won't be joining you guys for the cruise on the 23rd, it is our anniversary weekend.

BOOOOOOOOO!

Anniversary's are over rated (don't tell your girlfriend I said that).

Bryan will you at least be making it out this Friday??

Yes I can do this friday, you guys are damn confusing.

So the meet is this friday where and when? no more changing it!

I thought we switched it to Sunday the 23rd too, but Sunday is already CSCS and wouldn't make for a good meet (some might say there would be to high a saturation of cars). so Sunday the 23rd is a cruse to Cayuga and the Friday is an actual DSM meet. I know it seems like a packed weekend but please remember that the season is quickly coming to a close, some of us arn't lucky enough to drive our cars all year round.

Anyone please Chime in!

Ok so let's do this.

Friday the 21st at 6pm, at Hershey Center.

OK I may make it out Friday. But for us that are going Sunday can someone take charge and organize ? Mabey someone whose already done the cruise. Tim, Alex ?

I think Tim is working on the route, separate thread would probably be a good idea.

Yea Terry has got it right. This friday we are having a meet at hersey center at 6pm. On the weekend we are planning to do the cruise

I am out for Fri for sure but depending what time i get back on Sat i could be down for the Sunday cruise.

I'm officially confused, but sounds good to me!

Ok this Friday September 21st we are meeting at Hersey Center at 6pm til pretty much all night since people are planning to come around 8-9

THEN, two days later on Sunday the 23rd we are planning a cruise through Hamilton

Like Terry said we are trying to enjoy our cars as much as possible before we store them for the winter.

That sounds good. I'm definitely down the for drive through Hamilton! lol

Sat they are doing the arm drop races in Picton. For those of you not familiar i have started a new thread for it. You could always do a cruise out there. I am 80% sure i am going. I am waiting on my motor mount to be delivered. Assuming I have time to install it i will be there!

I think this is the busiest weekend this board has seen this summer. Friday..Saturday..Sunday..back to back.

Too bad the weather isn't going to be on our side.

Hmmm, might be nice to finally attend one of these.

Too bad I left the Talon in Toronto this week, or I'd drive straight from Loo to meet up with you boys on Friday evening, after work.

Ill go grab the talon for you

Sure, if you want to pay for the gas and insurance You may be broke afterwards. Hahaha...unless of course you've got a flatbed for her.

lol, Jesus...I retract my offer.

I think you guys need a new thread The "brampton meet" title is misleading. People who live in Brampton dont even want to go to Brampton, lol.

Hey nobody posted a time for today's cruise!

No one expected nice weather LOL I hope its still going to happen

Count me out boys, I already planned a packed Sunday cuz the weather just isn't gonna work for me today.

So whens the next meet boys. I wanna get my car out one time before I strip it down.

Maybe you should arrange it this time so you actually show up

I will be there as long as its before Saturday or after next wednesday

uh....ok so this Thursday?

Well we didnt do the cruise on Sunday but i saw quite a few members out at Cayuga. I ran into Andre at the "random" road side inspection where he got a catless ticket then i finally got to meet Reza and his beast of a car. Unfortunately he suffered from the same problems as I did. No traction off the line I was able to at least beat my last time even without traction.

12.515 @ 112 mph

As for the meet i would suggest Thrus night. From what i have heard the Ertefa meets are back on in a new location. Maybe we meet up and cruise out there? I am planning to go Thurs. Anyone want to roll out there?

Here is a vid from Sunday. My buddy was a shitty filmer but luckily i had a cockpit view camera


http://youtu.be/XsZDT2vOiPc

In cab view
http://youtu.be/-luMzAF28Vc

Damn, you guys go ahead, I might be able to come out for a bit but won't be a late night for me because I have an early Friday unfortunately.

I saw that Ertefa was back on, even though it is a little further than it already was

is andre the one that has the panda? i drove by on my way to work lol cop was standing in the middle of the road

I was competing in SS class at CSCS. I got to meet Tim while I was in the staging lanes Long line ups and I only got 4 runs for the day, all of which were no good. I pretty much couldn't even get out of the hole good enough for me to stay in it for the whole pass. By the time I got the car dialed in at 40psi and got comfortable with the car, I called it a day and packed up. My best pass was a 12.1 which consisted of bogging the launch, getting on it in 2nd and 3rd and coasting the rest of the way.

I also got pulled over by MTO on the way up there. They did an inspection on my car which consisted of the following: Made me pull the e-brake up and they tried to push the car, it wouldn't budge They checked to see if my catalic converter was present, yup its there. Made sure the battery was secure. They checked to make sure the hoses coming off the valve cover were routed correctly and front plate was on properly. I told them the car is done right, passes emmissions, no leaks and everything was installed correctly. They gave me a clean bill of health a pat on the back and told me to go on my way There was a vdub and a couple of ricers who were getting booked in front of me. I got out of there with a smile on my face

Thats pretty awesome that you can bog out of the hole, then coast and still kick my ass. I hope next season i can see you make some passes when its all dialed in correctly.

Exactly what happened when I got pulled over by MTO here in Brantford, I thought for sure I was going to get a ticket but as long as you know what your talking about and have things ran properly and not half assed you'll be fine. They also made me blip the throttle to see if it was burning oil or coolant. Its nerve racking especially when they're out to give you a ticket.

Damn, this Thursday I have a dinner thing with Ostomy Toronto.

Anyone wanna come? Let me know if you'd like tickets.

Sorry for thread jack.

ok so Thursday sounds good now we need a time

I can make it out

Was just about to text you chris, this will be a good meet.

I will probably take the later train friday morning so I can hang later at the meet.

Location too!!

6-7 and hereshy again?

Sounds good

Ok sounds good.

who else can we expect??

I'll be there! My Spyder has life until December ... And then it's parts on the shelf. Might as well bring her out to hang out with other DSMs. She likes it so much that she gives me better gas mileage I swear!

^^ you're parting it out ????????

and last time everyone showed at like 730 so I guess we can make the time 7

Yah, she have to go. It's just her time

But she's so0o0o pretty why not sell her as a whole? I'm sure she can make someone else very happy

I may try and make it out, but I wasn't at work today and so I'll likely end up staying late tomorrow, therefore I probably won't be able to get there at a reasonable time coming from Waterloo

I left at 10 last time last time and a few people were still there so any time is really fine remember this may be your last chance to come out !!

People who are actually going to be there, PM me your cell #'s so I have someone to contact.

Are you guys going to cruise to Ertefa after?

I would be down for a cruise. Where is it relocated too? and what time?

Last time we went to the ertefa meet after it was cancelled it was pretty disappointing to be honest.

Ertefa is back on if your interested. Apparently they had 700 cars last week.

They also have another meet close by called the Mashup

http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?f...9148.284769679116&type=1&theater

I think i might pass by Ertefa tonight.

Well we could go for a cruise after I guess. We will probably decide at the meet.

Although I would love to go to ERtefa tonight I have training tomorrow too.

I won't be able to go something came up that needs my attention pronto.

Dammit! Mashup was right around the corner from me.

My hack job exhaust by the previous owner split off . Tires are toast too. Looks like I won’t be meeting with the talon in its current condition.

You guys just don't like being on time eh

LOL, I was there at 8, traffic is brutal in mississauga!

I left at 8

Sooooooo looks like the nice weather is slowly creeping back

When we gonna have the first Meet of the season ?

Been driving my car this weekend and damn it feels amazing haha.

I'm thinking maybe in two weeks? This will give every1 some time to make plans... how's the 13/14th?

We should try and have it during the day so like 1- 2pm so we can have some gorgeous sunlight but night time works too.

As for location I think the Hershey centre was a good location as it was empty around that time of the day and its not far from where everyone lives.

As always for me weekends are difficult.
Friday night would probably be best, but I am also pretty sure I have lots of stuff to do that weekend.

I wouldn't mind coming out to one these. I'm also available the weekend of the 13/14th.

I'm in for any weekend!

I'm always down, although my DSM wont be.

Terry's my +1

Well your DSM is down, that's why it's not going to make it

How's Sunday for everyone?

Sunday works perfectly

Well if the weather holds out and I get her shoes on I will be there

Yep, Sunday it is, Bryan...I'll be co-pilot if you want to drive

Yeah for sure, hopefully you will enjoy it too as I will need one when I start rallying

So it's going to be Sunday April 14? What time are we thinking?

I should be back from LA by that time. Probably be driving RX8

I'm In.

You kids sure you want to meet during this weather?
It's snowing outside right now!

Sorry gents. I won't be back in time for this one

Spoke too soon brother.

Are we still good for Sunday the 14th? Have we decided on a location and time? I suggest 1pm so we can have some sunlight

I'm ok with that. Might bring a few buddies. This isn't limited to just DSM's right?

I won't be able to make it till later.

Oh the 14th. That one I can do.

I wouldn't mind coming out on the 14th. It would be nice to meet everyone.

So who's all coming out?

Where would it be held?

Did you guys pick a time / place?

My GF reminded me that I have to go to her aunts bday dinner in the evening... and I'm getting tires installed at 10:30am

Soooo... early afternoon would work better for me. But don't plan around me, as I can always come to the next one.

I'm down for some time in the afternoon as I work until 1400

I have to be at work for 17:00, so don't plan around me either. Just wanted to pop by anyway.

I may swing by, but I have exams so don't count on it.

Looks like I'm a no go. Both front ball joints in the lower control arms are trying to leave. :c

You best leave your ride at home Stephan. That's not something you want to fail.....

Alas, of course I end up busy on the meet day

Mhm. When I was driving to get my alignment, it "clicked" in me that a ball joint was shot. Hehe. I could always drive the daily down. Would be nice to meet the community. We'll see though. Hours at work are never stable.

Sorry to hear

Just google images of that ball joint failing. It makes me shutter.....

To think that this one, small piece could cause such a problem. Every bump and click, I shed a small tear :c. At least after this, the DSM and the daily will have fresh ball joints.

So hows tmrw at 5pm at Trinity mall? the parking inbetween the new target closer to star bucks is usually empty.

I don't know how you got on here yesterday, but there as a few of us that couldn't.
Hopefully you guys enjoyed yourself!
Rumour has it that Pedro was the only dsm!

he was. lol.. itwas the first meet of the season you can't realy expect a good turnout.

REPRESENT

So lets try again in may? Maybe so go karting again ?

You guys in Brampton drop the ball?

When ya having a meet?

haha, I guess most of us have been busy. I definitely think we should be having one of these soon. Maybe next month we can organize something.

I'm down, hunting electrical gremlins but she runs, so I can make it there...and possibly back

Some time early next month would be good for me. actually any time this month is fine too..I just won't be driving my spyder.

So who's up for a Brampton meet this week? Possibly Thursday or Friday?

I can do Thursday or Friday

What time on those days? Working the morning shift on Thursday, then a nightshift on Friday.

I'm down

Finally got'r in the road

I'm down too for either tomorrow or friday, Minus Elvira off course.

I'll be busy tomorrow night... could probably drag the Talon down there on Friday though.

Where would the meet be in Brampton?

We could meet at the Powerade Center (7575 Kennedy Road South
Brampton, ON L6W 4T2). You get a huge parking lot, hockey games to watch if you have time to kill and a bar upstairs.

Or somewhere else if you have good places.

Sounds good to me.

You SOBs are going to have a meet when I am out of town!? Can we delay it by a week!?

I won't be there. Car is out of commission and I'm swamped with other stuff.

I'm good with holding off.

To be honest, next week would probably be better for me. But whatever works for you guys.

Long weekends probably aren't the best choice.

Just sayin'.

Fine we can delay it, but delays is usually what happens most of the time and then nothing gets done. The way I was thinking was more meets that way more people can go since there's always going to be someone busy or that can't make it on some particular day.

Lets flip a coin? this weekend or next..

The wkn itself is a no go for most as most will be out doing something (including myself), hence why I went with Thursday as a choice. Heck I'll be at the Powerade Center tonight to see my buddy play

Idea.... No more of the "Oh, next friday!" How about we set an actual date?

What time on July 4th?

GAWD DAMMIT! lmfao.

How is 7pm for everyone?

So far I'm off work then, but things can always change, so I don't want to confirm anything.

I do believe I'm working that day from 1400 to 2200. Dammit

Just borrow a plane! xD

7pm should be good for me

Anytime is good for me as long as people show up

Every Wed they do a Lancer meet at Square 1 Timmies. Mostly Lancers but a few Evos go.

Or you could meet on Thurs and cruise to Ertefa.

I'd rather just have a meet. I'm not interested in cruising to Ertefa... but that's just me

If you guys are doing Ertefa I will not be joining. Living near Woodbridge is bad enough...

NO ERTEFA PERIOD.

Thursday July 4th 7pm, Hersey Center


1. Bryan

2. Terry

3. Jeremy

4. Pedro

No ERTEFA.

Pedro!!! my man! where you been hiding?

I went a week or 2 ago and there were a bunch of you guys So someone is a secret Ertefa boy.

You should do another cruise day. That was fun!

I'm not big on Ertefa mostly because of the mentality of a large group of people there, and like someone mentioned before, it's a great place for thieves to scope your car for later. Then again so is parking at any parking lot for that matter so that last point is a bit moot.

I'll try to make it that day but it'll depend on my hours since I'm on call. Like I said before, more meets is better since some people won't always make the date of the one specific meet.

My 10 day permit expires on Sunday

I'd like to take'r out before then

^Im delaying my last temporary sticker renewal. Seems you can't get an "e-test" these days (a conditional pass) for less than the $450 the government says it has to be.

Just have to know the right people (I don't, but I know for fact they're out there.)

I tried... I'm out up North all wkn (including Friday now since the meet got cancelled)

I would like to do one trip to ertefa, this won't be it but soon hopefully. Any other than Tim and myself interested, let me know and we will figure something out

I'm very interested in going, just not with my Eclipse.

lol. Yup!

I too would go, but Terry's right. Not in my Eclipse...
BTW, Terry, we need to meet one of these days...

There were a few talons/eclipse there when I went. I have only gone twice. The day it opened it was stupid busy and took like 30 mins just to get in. I went another day with Rubin and it got rained out but there was still 50+ cars there.

Johnny..come to the Brampton meet.

I might be in. That's right beside where I used to work, and I'm back in Etobicoke now so easier to get to, but I get off at 5pm, takes an hour to get home, or more.

We will see. This will eat into my Muay Thai training.

My cars not going to be ready until the first week of August. I'm definitely down when it's all ready to go!

So... tomorrow night, 7pm, Hershey Center.

People still coming out?

Yeah it's on!!

Right when I start work I hate pop up flights.

check

Working. Dammit.

Yep, I'll either be shotgunning with Bryan or taking one of my two Hondas....I hope havin a Honda there won't make anyone nervous

I won't be there...family commitments.

frack. That's why I was busy tmrw... I might not make it =[

So we have....

1. Alex
2. Bryan
3. Terry
4. Jeremy
5. Pedro ?
6. David ?
7. Michael?
8. Tim !?!?!
9. (if were lucky)

I should be able to make it as long as I can get my sticker

5. Pedro
6. David ?
7. Michael?
8. Tim ?
9. Chris?
10.(if we're(shocked this wasn't caught yet) lucky)

I'm all stickered up

Weather permitting...

I just copy pasted, blame terry

LOL, excuses. I just copied too

So what should we do if it rains?

If we don't want to stand by the cars we can go inside and watch whatever is playing.

I doubt it will rain though, was saying it was going to spit all day until 5 so I think we should be good.

LOL I don't mind

I'll try to make it as well, all will depend on if my car doesn't get a tantrum on the way there.

One thing I do find amusing though, it's a Brampton meet in Mississauga

Cool!

The next Brampton meet should be held in Ottawa

That's because nobody wants to drive in Brampton!

LOL all of us are driving through brampton to get to this meet.

Jeremy is brampton easier for you?

something unexpected came up. I can make it there by 8:45-9 if you guys still there

...and you still beat me there, haha.

Was a better turn out than expected! Sorry I couldn't stick around too long, but it was definitely nice to see you guys again, and get some new faces for names.

Well we convinced him to come earlier, good to see you again.

Thanks again for the help.

Fun meet! Also thanks Bryan for riding with me in case I lost power or tranny parts on the way back home

oh boy...

Think it's just the battery or alternator. As for the trany, just haven't gotten the chance to change it yet, and she grinds

G, you wanna borrow a battery to test that? I think I got one good one here.

Sounds like another Saturn alt swap

Haha Gui, no worries!

Yeah Johnny that's what I told him. More than likely the battery is fine and the alt seems to be struggling a little.

I'm good Stephan, I have a almost new Optima battery from my 2g (yellow top) so I'm trying that out today. Thanks for the offer though

Think it may be the alternator though specially when we looked at the voltage drop with accessories (fan/radio/lights) before leaving. May not have been too good for it to have water from my water pipe drip on it when I had a leak a couple months back. That may have been the culprit.

Who's got pics of the meet? It'll make me all fuzzy inside to see pictures of my 1g actually somewhere other than in front of my house being worked on lol

hahah! yeah I want to see pictures too!

I'll post pictures asap....

I'm dealing with a failed water softener right now, she blew the valve and allowed all that sediment thats supposed to be contained to run through all my pipes and clog every faucet, toilet and my washing machine/dishwasher.....F*uckin houses! almost as bad as dealing with DSM's

sh!t son that's not good! Hopefully you can get her fixed soon.

First my A/C and now my water softener, Hopefully I'll have the water running normally before the wife gets home

Damn, I think it's "everything goes wrong" month. My laptop died on me 2 weeks ago (hard drive failure) and my Seagate 1TB GoFlex died on me today, although I think the drive itself is still good, looks to be a power or transition issue.

Well that and all my car issues

Damn, that's the worst. Fingers crossed but I have yet to have a drive failed. One of my seemed to signal while it was failing so I was able to grab everything before it died.

Good meet, we should have taken pictures while Jeremy was still there lol

Yup that would have been a good idea Looks good though, thanks Terry!

My bad

Oh jeez I was in and out so quick I wouldn't expect you to have shot any while I was there!

Definitely a nice little lineup! Too bad we didn't get any with our blue-wearing friend off in the distance, haha.

GOT CLR?



Looks like you guys had a good night. Too bad you're all so effin far away

Hahaha...I wish it was that easy.
