anyone live in/near st louis

[crioten]

anyone who lives near st louis give me an email, [email protected] , if ya wanna talk about your car, or wanna make a meet sometime...

[thelinja]

i go to school in terre haute, which is about 2-3 hours away....I'm in favor of a meet in STL.

[crioten]

it would be cool if we made a meet, i got a friend at school who has the same car as i do. but we need like 5-6 people to make a meet though...

[240GURL]

I am in St. Louis and game for any 240 get together!

[BrickTop]

o'fallon, mo here.

[shark0769]

I don't currently live in the StL area, but will be there for the first two weeks of November in case any of you would like to get together.

[thelinja]

Yeah if someone that knows the STL area pretty good wants to find a good meeting spot I'll go, I'll probably be free every weekend in Nov.

[240GURL]

I say we plan a get-together then. &nbsp;Maybe November 8th or 9th (Fri./Sat.). &nbsp;Any ideas on where to meet? &nbsp;A restaurant maybe? Or a park? &nbsp;Dave and Buster's would be cool, but how many of you are under 21? <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/huh2.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':huh2:'>

[thelinja]

I'm only 18, so that sucks. &nbsp;240Gurl, I take it you're from the STL area. &nbsp;I think a park or a public place would be the best meeting spot. &nbsp;November 9th is a Saturday and I think that would be a good time to meet. &nbsp;Anyone have any objections? &nbsp;We'll just have to figure out a place to meet though.

[240GURL]

Saturday works. &nbsp;I'll check around for a public place somewhat central to where everyone could find. &nbsp;Most of the parks I know of are either too hard to find (if you are bad with directions) or closed after dark. &nbsp;If anyone has any ideas, let me know.

oh, kind of a bonus on sat. nite, I know where a few drag racing/car people hang outs are.

[thelinja]

Sounds like a plan. &nbsp;I can't wait to meet some other 240 fanatics. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'>

[crioten]

does everyone know where forest park is? i guess we could meet there, its a big park, and i bet a bunch of ya know where it is...if you all would like to try it there on sunday november 10, let me know, email me at [email protected], if ya wanna do it <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

I just moved to St. Louis!!! I would like to meet some of the local 240 people here too! My SR'd 240 is under the knife right now getting ready for next years race season but my 92 240 with a 97 KA should be alive by then... LOL. I am actually just about to launch a 240 only webpage selling aftermarket parts. Should be launched Nov 1st. I dont know where anything local is though.... LOL

www.project240.com <--- new page coming Nov 1!!!

[whateverjames]

are you still going to be doing the SR swaps, alan?

[oberkill]

I will do some SR swaps but not part of the buisness I dont think. Just for friends or if someone offers me the right money... LOL No swaps until my 2 cars are done though! I will do tech support for anyone in the area though!

Alan

[shark0769]

Well, I'm in town now, but the 9th is bad for me. &nbsp;I've got tickets to the Blues game that evening against the Maple Leafs and that takes precedence.

By the way, does anyone know of a shop that could handle an Apexi S-AFC install and a before and after dyno run?

thanks,

[240GURL]

I can do Forrest Park on Saturday or Sunday, but Sunday would probably work better for me if the spot is Forrest Park. &nbsp;And for those who have Hockey tickets (LUCKY!!!<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'>. &nbsp;Can everyone else do Sunday? &nbsp;Anyone need directions, or have major probs with meeting in Forrest park?

As for a shop that can handle the s-afc install with dyno in the st. louis area, good luck. &nbsp;I have had nothing but problems with shops around here. &nbsp;I prefer to drive 3.5 hours to Chicago to have my car worked on.

[crioten]

i can meet on sunday in forest park, does anyone know of a good location in forest park for our meet?

glen

[thelinja]

I'm game for Sunday. &nbsp;I'll just need directions or a map to Forrest Park.

[240GURL]

The Muny Parking lot should be empty on Sunday. &nbsp;Its pretty easy to find, pretty much right off the interstate.

[whateverjames]

my friend and i are taking his Z to get his AVC-R boost controller installed, this weekend. the shop is <a href="http://store.yahoo.net/rhperformance" target='_blank'>http://store.yahoo.net/rhperformance</a>. it is in fairview heights illinois. if they do a good job and are nice, i'll let you all know. good import shops really are hard to find around here. you can't trust them.

[shark0769]

I went to RushHour Performance yesterday afternoon and they suggested I try Turbo Connections in Edwardsville. Apparently they have a dyno and have some experience with the S-AFC. I'm going to give them a call today or maybe just drive up there to check out the shop. I'll let you know how everything goes...

In case anyone's interested, even with all the mods I have, I still managed to get over 31 mpg during my road trip!

Okay, I spoke with them and here's the rundown. To get the S-AFC installed will cost me $200. To get the car dyno'd and tuned will cost me $145 per hour for at least two hours, probably three (owners estimate). I may just wait until I get to San Antonio...

[thelinja]

So...is this meet going to happen? &nbsp;Saturday the ninth? Forest Park? map?

[thelinja]

alright, well I'm gonna have to know by next wednesday...because there is an autox next saturday too. &nbsp;But this meet wll take precedence over the race though..

[crioten]

im just curious if anyone drives a red 91 s13 and works in/near longhorn steakhouse? cuz i see one there often...

[crioten]

er...doesnt have to be 91...i dunno, i guess i was thinking about may car, but it is an s13...

[whateverjames]

which longhorn? i happened to see a red s13 by longhorn in o'fallon today.

My friend got his AVC-R boost controller installed at rush hour performance in belleville, IL. the installation went great considering one of the three manuals were missing, a certain piece was missing and they had to get extra vacuum hose. they even stayed late on a saturday night to get it done. good group of guys. and the Z is boosting 14 psi now &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/thumbs-up.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':thumbsup:'>

[240GURL]

Okay, for starters, it is supposed to rain on sunday, so we need to go somewhere with cover. &nbsp;Also, there is a home rams game on sunday so traffic will be a b**ch downtown. &nbsp;I vote we go somewhere like Dave and Buster's (everyone can get it 21 or not, and we can eat/play racing games/pool) or somewhere off Manchester/Olive (TGI's, etc). &nbsp;I mean, do we have to go to a park? &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/huh.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':huh:'>

[Nerfdude]

oh damn! i need to check the meetups section more often... i'm inSTL, i've got a '92 fastback with the bondo trunk, oh yeah.
hey crioten... you wouldn't happen to, by chance, go to LHSS would you? there's two nearly identical white 89-90 coupes there...

forest park? bah... let's meet on a fri or sat night up @ SoCo mall, cruise lindbergh a little bit or something....

[crioten]

i am 17, so no strip clubs heh, and i go to marquette highschool, i live off the corner of manchester and clarkson. the longhorn im talking about is off manchester, in ballwin plaza, its got a schnucks, and a sears hardware in that area, i work at sears hardware <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> i can get 10% off screws!!! yay, heh

its all up to you all where ya wanna go, but i really cant do it the 9th, unless ya all wanna do it later that night or something. where are all of ya located? where you all want to do it is fine, and if it rains, it will suck...heh so D&B's is sounding like a plan...does anyone go there a lot, if ya do, is there a good place to meet before we go inside?


glen

[crioten]

what is lhss? and a buddy at school drives a 91 black 240 like mine, i drive a white 91 hatch 240...

[Nerfdude]

Lutheran HighSchool South... on Tesson, real close to gravois.
how about friday... the 8th... at night.... lindbergh somewhere... lotsa 240's... oh yeah...

[thelinja]

Uhhh..I'm gonna need better directions if I'm going to come to this shindig. &nbsp;I'll only be able to make it saturday. &nbsp;It's supposed to be a great saturday..clear and upper 50's. &nbsp;I'm going to see 8 mile on Friday, and Sunday is the last race this year. &nbsp;I don't live in St. Louis but the mall sounds like a good place to meet. &nbsp;You guys can set times and places though...you live there after all...but I'll need an intersection and probably a map.

[Nerfdude]

SoCo Mall is right at lindbergh and lemay ferry... take 55 north and make a right at the lindbergh exit, it's about a half mile down on the right. of course, if you're coming from 55 south, you make a left. so do you guys want to meet or what?: maybe meet both days?

oh, i saw a black 97-98 today on reavis barracks. 240gurl, was that you? it was really, really clean looking.

[240GURL]

No, I don't think it was me. &nbsp;Where is reavis barracks? &nbsp;Anywhere near Earth City?

[thelinja]

Sooooo...day and time..all I need, thanks.

[240GURL]

Thelinja, what time is good for you to meet on Saturday? &nbsp;And where will you be coming from (South St. Louis, West, East)? &nbsp;That way we can find somewhere close to where your staying and easy to find.

Your the one that is from out of town and in only for the weekend, and since the rest of us live here we can meet up later if need be.

[thelinja]

Anytime Saturday is fine. &nbsp;I'm coming from Terre Haute, IN.

[crioten]

um, i will be busy all of saturday during the day, would you all want to do it at night? night is the only time i could really do it, any time after 5pm is cool with me...

[240GURL]

After 5 is okay with me. &nbsp;How about we meet at 6 or 7. &nbsp;Lets meet somewhere central for everyone (from O'fallon to South county), and the best place I can think of is the Galleria or somewhere. &nbsp;Once we meet up we can decide to go somewhere else. &nbsp;How does this sound? &nbsp;Any other ideas for a central location?

Coming from downtown you would take hwy 40(64) West to Brentwood Blvd, Turn Left on Brentwood Blvd. &nbsp;The Galleria is on the left. (The address is 1155 St. Louis Galleria, St. Louis MO 63117). &nbsp;We could just meet on the top of the parking garage?

[thelinja]

Cool, sounds good to me. &nbsp;I should arrive between 6-7. &nbsp;Question about day light savings... &nbsp;I'm on eastern, is STL on central? &nbsp;Those directions seem easy to follow, I'll just cut over to 40 when I get close.

[240GURL]

Yeah, we are on Central time.

[crioten]

ok, so we are meetin at 6-7pm at the galleria mall on saturday? i can do that if thats alright with everyone?

[thelinja]

Alright, sorry to bug you guys again but Mapquest.com is telling me that 1155 St. Louis Galleria doesn't exist. &nbsp;I'm coming over from I-70. &nbsp;Could you just give me directions from I-70? &nbsp;Like I could get off of 70 and take US40 into the city..or something like that....then turn onto Brentwood. &nbsp;Sorry, mapquest isn't helping very much.

[240GURL]

From 70 (coming from East st. Louis) take 170 South, take the Brentwood exit, and go right. &nbsp;The first stoplight you get to you will see the mall/parking garage on your right. &nbsp;Hope that helps! &nbsp;I don't know why that address isn't working, thats the right one for the Galleria.
<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'>

[crioten]

who all will be coming? anyone really know alot about the 240, inside and out, gonna be there, cuz my 240 is now feeling like it is running on 3 of 4 clyinders...and it sucks. my car shakes and has almost no acceleration, im thinking fuel injector, maby vacuum hose...?

glen

[mixxamike]

Hey, I'm gonna be in STL saturday morning-afternoon. &nbsp;I'll be in the U-city loop prlly at revolve records picking up some new vinyl. &nbsp;Now, i don't own a 240sx, but think they are the cars of all cars. one of you guys should drive by revolve saturday and show me your car. i'd love to see some nice 240s. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/thumbs-up.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':thumbsup:'> &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/notify.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':notify:'>

[oberkill]

Sorry Guys I have other plans on Saturday. (going to work on a friends SR in Kansas City) Hanging out at the mall and going cruising isnt my scene anyways! LOL

crioten - If you dont figure out what wrong with your car drop me a e-mail and I'll give you a hand. I can probably figure out whats wrong.

Alan

[thelinja]

Got it, I'll be there.

[crioten]

alright, and thanks alan, where do you live at in stl?

plan is meet at the galleria mall, at around 6pm on saturday. there is a big parking garage at the mall, if i remember correctly, i think we should meet in front of the parking garage area? sound like a plan to you all? i want to try and make the best time/place for everyone who wants to try and make it...so plz let me know if it isnt good or if it is good for you &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/hehe.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':hehe:'>

[Nerfdude]

man.... i'm working until 9:30 tonight... i can't get off... stupid pizza delivery. come over to the south county area around tesson and butler hill, anywhere in a 8 mile radius, and order a pizza from domino's... then you can see my car.
or just look for the red '92 with the fat domino's sign. oh yeah....

well, next time, i'll definately be there.

[crioten]

well, that sucked...did anyone try going to the mall last night? i hung around there for about an hour with my friend, then the security/rent-a-cop guy told us to leave now, or we will be arrested for something stupid.

we really should pick a place that isnt so crowded, like a park next time, because there was no way to tell if any of you were at the mall or not, plus it was raining, and it was dark...

so next time, lets do it in the day, at a park or someplace less crowded. =)

[Nerfdude]

let's do it with more notice... i'm pretty sure that was the main problem here. like, let's set up for a meet at the end of the month or so....

[thelinja]

I was planning on going, but that's the same reason I decided not to go. &nbsp;I didn't want to show up and not find anyone there. &nbsp;Also, I didn't want to have to find people in the dark, and in the rain, in a place that I have never been to. &nbsp;If I would have been closer than 200 miles away I might have gone just for kicks to see if anyone was coming. &nbsp;Sorry guys, I'll guess we'll have to wait for spring now..

[oberkill]

crioten.... I live in St. peters. Like I said drop me a e-mail and we'll figure out a good time to check your car out. I am going to Indy on Saturday but that is my only current plan. I work evenings though. I am working Monday to Friday next week and off Sat, Sun, and Monday.

Alan

[crioten]

we really should try to get a meet up and going sometime, i think it would be fun. as i learned, lets do it at a place during the day, good weather, and at a park or something that is less crowded than a mall, because it will be hard to find each other =)

glen

[Nerfdude]

well, if you want to meet at night and at a mall, we could meet at Crestwood, in the basement level of the parking garage.... it's well-lit and rain wouldn't be a problem....

[crioten]

i really dont care when or where we meet, just as long as i am off of work. i up for anything that gets us together, or where it is at, i was thinking of having one after or before the holidays....its really up to you all since im a kid and have loads of time off. =)
