Why aren't you running???

[Drifting Ricer]

I'll be there like always <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'>

For directions please check the site
http://www.fcscc.com/02schedule.htm

Lot opens at 8: 00am
Tech opens at 9: 00am
Please be there before 10: 00am if you're running. That will give you time to prep you're car.

I like to see al lot of the MA ppl go to this event since the CT ppl come to MA events.

I talked to nismobeast some of us MA guys should meet up at his house (Hopkinton ma) since is real close to the pike (i90)
He will post directions to his house.

For the Boston ppl we should meet up at south bay mall. I know I talked to s13cruzer about this. The adress is 8 Allstate Road, Boston, MA 02125. Afterwards we should go to Hopkinton.

I hope this isn't to much of a hassle to our southern MA ppl like jeff t.

any questions PM me or guidot.

[nismobeast]

Dircetions to my house for meet.

From boston and places east of 495: &nbsp;take mass pike (I 90) west to 495 S. &nbsp;take second exit (Hopkinton #21)
You can also take 95 south to 495 north and head north for a ways to the Hopkinton exit (21)

From places West, dame deal, just head east to 495. &nbsp;(I stink at directions &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/nervous.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':nervous:'> )

Travel straight at the end of the off-ramp, be careful of manhole covers, theres a bit of construction. &nbsp;go straight through intersection and go up the hill. &nbsp;At the top theres a stoplight and my house is right there. &nbsp;You can park there, and if its gets crowded theres parking right across the street.

If theres any questions E-mail me at [email protected], or hit my Instant messenger at [email protected]

[boosteds14]

ill be there if the weather is good. i dont feel like standing in the rain.

hopefully i will have the ka-t on the road before this but if not ill take the 95 and try it out. i will problably make an ass of myself, blown struts and power steering along with cheap ass tire

[guidot]

Nice playin guys! &nbsp;Glad to see people are jumping up to get this goin.
pj - I'm not running because I would like to see how it works and where to go, and i'm a visual learner I guess. &nbsp;I would rather not make an ass of myself, if I can learn some things up front.
jose - get those boston people going! &nbsp;
nismobeast - good to see you on here, been forever! &nbsp;

I will be staying at my friend robs house in CT the day before so I'm all set. &nbsp;I hopefully will be meeting boosted on saturday too. &nbsp;Maybe his car will be done and we can put it back together &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/thumbs-up.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':thumbsup:'>

thanks guidot, ive been on the amarok lists since i got my car a little over a year ago, but just joined zilvia now.

Looks like i just blew my motor, i was just telling Drifting ricer that it looks like i wont be able to auto-X but im still going. &nbsp;Ive got no compression in the back 2 cylinders and the bock has discoloration and heavy scoring in the walls. &nbsp;Time to give heavy throttle a call. &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sly.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':sly:'> SR here we come.

Im gonna snag my moms Rav4 so well have something to throw all the stuff in, like chairs or coolers for the auto-X.

[nismobeast]

just a reply to keep this at the top of the list. &nbsp;Hope everyone in the area can come. &nbsp;The more 240s the better.

[guidot]

Please guys get there early! &nbsp;I was informed by a shop I know there that the Waterbury autox fills up fast!! &nbsp;I would like to see a good showing and I think thats what we'll have!!

[nismobeast]

ok, we need times then for when the boston ppl are meeting, when everyones meeting at my house in Hopkinton, and when the caravans going to leave, cuz we cant leave here at 8. Its gonna take a little while to get there. &nbsp;I dont know how far it is so if someones been there before and knows how long it takes to get there, then that info would be greatly appreciated.

Mike

[nismobeast]

ok, well after talking to drifting ricer, looks like we are leaving my house in Hopkinton AT, 5:30 &nbsp;in order to get to CT in time. &nbsp;So please aim to be here at 5<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wow.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':0'>0, we wont be able to wait like we did at the F1 boston meet. &nbsp;We will be leaving AT 5:30 in order to get all our cars into the event, the Auto-X has a small limit of cars so we need to be there on time to race. &nbsp;Remeber to bring helmets, drinks, etc... &nbsp;If you have a cooler and want to throw it in the Rav4 im using thats cool too.

Matt T

[nismobeast]

Hey guys The one w/the 10.78 is here!! I will definitely be going but I'm bringing my other 240 not the fast one---it's not registered and I don't want to deal with the masshole police we have!! In a few weeks I'll be shooting juice to spool the turb a little quicker to try for 9 secs--but I can't afford a rollcage right now and don't want to get kicked off the playing field again like I did when I ran the high 10. Boy they hate it when an import comes in and whips the domests

[Drifting Ricer]

Okay guys the meet is almost upon us. Who is still in? I told o couple of the NY/NJ ppl too see if they can come to this meet. So this can be a NE north meets NE south sort of thing. Remember if you're not competing you don't *have* to be there be 8: 00am. I tried asking some of the CT ppl. That after the auto x we should get something to eat/ have some sort of social thing.

Just remember the meet stars at 8: 00am. Hope to see everyone there.

2 people coming from brooklyn would like to know how long the ride is up there be4 i head out and my car is nice i would like to run it to see what times i could be doing just the way it is what time would i have to be there...if its a waste of running my car then what time should i get there to see the events!!!

[Drifting Ricer]

Not sure how long will it take to there coming from Brooklyn NY. I know coming from Boston (were I’m coming from) is 2 and half hours and NY is closer to Waterbury CT then Boston. I say the trip is 1.5 to 2 hours at the most. You have to be there by 8<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wow.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':0'>0am if you wanna compete. I encourage everyone to participate at the event. You be wondering why you didn’t do it sooner after the day is done. &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/thumbs-up.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':thumbsup:'>

wonder if that means anything???

anyways... i've used spring compressors once... ever since then i've been too lazy to use em and just do things the easy way (i.e., hydraulic jack and force).

hey guys.
I know the auto x site wasn't the best in the world. But the 240sx was a success. We had ppl from MA,NH,CT,NY show up. I liked the battle that me, pj and my "co-driver" matt had. It was a close one. Too bad we didn't take novice class but awell.

Anyone have pics, suggestiongs or next meet site... please post about it.

Can't belive I almost lost to matt in my own car. looks like I have a lot to learn. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/thumbs-up.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':thumbsup:'>

spend your last runs in a half-assed drifting/ smoking competition against a turbo Subie wagon and your bound to not take the overall win.... problem is: pothole induced drift isn't fun.

So how did you get talked into a drifting battle with a Subie station wagon? BTW, thanks for the extra incentive to scrub my tires some more and practice AWDrifting on tarmac. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'>

yeah, if i knew your car better i couldve pushed it harder Jose, but i was afraid id understeer and plow into the cones on a corner. &nbsp;But its much faster than what my car used to be, and handles much better. &nbsp;Looks like i need to upgrade my suspension. &nbsp;Im thinking Tiens, he he he.
