OFFICIAL Chicago May 4th Meet + website

[DuffMan]

Sweet. We wont have any police problems with that location would we? Stupid police might think we are street racing or something stupid like that. Of course it's during the day so it wont look too suspicous.

[KiDyNomiTe]

A site, instead the worn out chicago 240sx site that was never updated, anyways, clean your cars i'll be bringing the camera and the tripod, hope its a good day.

[KiDyNomiTe]

Updated the site a little (juss remodeled it), any suggestions or comments welcome.

[DuffMan]

Nice, it looks great.

What it's missing is a link to where people can donate money to help me with the motor swap.

[DuffMan]

Honestly I am not sure.

I will be there, James will be there, 240 2NR will be there, Duff Man will be there, prolly MI SO FST, then a couple of others that I forgot the names of that responded to the other threads.

I am sure there will be a decent number, but don't expect like 20 cars (although that is possible, just a slim chance).

If the drive from Wisconsin is not something you want to do, then I suggest you at least come to the June meet, seems there will be a bigger crowd there. But you still will have some fun at the May meet, better scenery for pics :D

BTW nice cars you got there, where are the chicago S14s at :( , seems everyone has an S13 except like Mike (S14Guy) never see any S14s at meets that are coming from Chicago.

[X1nom3D]

thanks for the compliment... well, the drive from milwaukee isn't a big deal for me, I'd do it in a heart beat if I got nothin to do, so... if the weather's nice *fingers crossed*, and I got nothin else to do... I'll see you guys there, probably for both meets... and hopefully my car will be painted by the June meet, but we'll see...

[DuffMan]

Well it's the first meet of the spring, so I would expect a healthy turn out. People have been jonesing for a meet all winter.

[gmgs14]

we shal see, I might make it down from Michigan with my S14 so you'll be able to see another stock one!

[jsr20det]

Im in, my black S13 will be there, along with my friends other S13.

Well now I can see how far the drive from milwaukee is, the car that I am buying is over there, its about an hour and a half away from where I am, which isn't too far from where the meet is.

So far seems like we'll have a good turnout, just need more S14s, too many S13s :D

[chris-r]

Ill be there with JSR20det im his friend...

I'm putting an SR in pretty soon, but I'll try to make it. Gotta round up some of you guys for this drift event. I'm doing the swap in LaGrange, I could use a hand from someone who's done it before. That would make things go smoother.

There don't seem to be a lot arround who have done it. A few had it done by shops, and I think there was a guy who did it, but then sold the motor.

My swap is stalled up due to money problems, but i've done the wiring so if you have any wiring questions I could help.

[240 2NR]

Well, there's a good chance I'll be there (it's literally a mile from my apartment) though it's unlikely my 240 will be. I had been planning to bring my 240 back with me this weekend from my garage in Madison, but with all the weekend plans and trips I have this month it just didn't make snese since between now and when I'll be up there for my sister's graduation I would have driven it once if I was lucky (and trust me, after 4 months without, plus only about 200 miles since I installed my B&M and driving an automatic all this time, I'm feeling very deprived so I'd be making any excuse I could to drive it).

I may show up in my girlfriend's altima (hey it's still a KA) to check out the seen.

In anycase, I hope to be there, but highly doubt my car will be.

[X1nom3D]

great, see you all there... my car is probably gonna be the only one that's primered up and not painted, LOL

[handiman15]

Hi guys, you have no idea who I am, but I might be there for the meet. I'm from Southbend Indiana area.

[X1nom3D]

jsr20det, aww that sucks man... well, i feel a lil bit better, thanx... but my quarter panel went in about 4 inches after a drifting acccident (TRUTH: van sideswiped me)... but yea, I'm gettin better at it :cool:

I only know two people in this thread, and thats from the last meet, so come out and you'll know us all. Hope to see you there, the time is drawing near.

[Crab Spirits]

In case you guys haven't heard, the day before the meet (Sat) there is a get-together going on to get some interest going for a Chicagoland drift meet. Here:
http://forums.club4ag.com/topic.asp?whichpage=1&ARCHIVEVIEW=&TOPIC_ID=29805
You guys should show up if you are'nt too busy shining your rides up.

BTW, I will be there with my silvia. Primered fenders, CF hood, but no SR in the car yet. :(

[KiDyNomiTe]

ya i put some info on the site

Hey guys, I'm a newbie to this forum. I drive the white s13 w/ the silvia conversion (don't know if any of you have seen it). But i'll definitely be there (asked for the day off a month ago when misofst told me about the meet).
crab spirits - i can help you out with your swap if you'd like. I have an apt. @ NIU right now and work @ the circuit city in batavia, but i wouldn't mind driving out there for a day or two of wrenching!

btw-is anyone going to the saturday meet?
btw2-anyone know where to buy an engine hoist/stand for a good price around chicago? gotta clean up the sr right after the meet.

[KiDyNomiTe]

Ooo so that was your car in IREV last year, I remember seeing it, nice car.

Meet is going to turn out great, just hope the rain doesn't screw it up, at least it will be empty over there. Juss gotta make sure to wax the car :D

I will not be making it to the saturday meet, got to help with moving so gotta stay in the area, plus i gotta search for my tripod thats lost somewhere in storage.

See you Sunday

Sweet! I'll look you guys up when the time comes. I'm almost there. Tranny should be back together tomorrow and I have everything! I will be at the meet on saturday. Let me know if you're coming and I'll bring the silvia. BTW, my engine hoist is a New Holland LX750 turbo, I think it might be out of your price range though.
:D :D

[willcheung]

hey guys, can you give me some direction how to get to the place we meet, Maybe i will come on sunday from Michigan, either give me the address of the place so i can use mapquest to get the driving direction or give me a rough idea what freeway to take

[1fasts13]

ohh wow i almost forgot about this one :D

i'll definitely try to make it out on sunday, but i wonder what car i will come out with since i still dont have a 240 yet :confused:

Big Rapids huh? I'm planning on going from Grand Rapids. If you want to meet up in GR we can carpool. It's not that hard to get out there. Trust me.

[uiuc240]

This sucks. I totally want to go to the meet, but I have some seriously heavy sh!t to finish up for school. I have my final history exam on Tuesday and my thesis book is due next Friday. I can't afford a weekend in Chicago. Bummer. Oh well, we'll meet again soon, I'm sure.

:(

Eric (one of the other ones...I think I'm the only white one though?)

[jsr20det]

Ill be coming tomorrow for sure. My friends will come too but they arent 240s'. I might be a little late cause I just got new tires and need to put'em on. Hope to see you all there.

[willcheung]

hi gmgs14, maybe we should meet up at GR on sunday, I will be there tomorrow since my girlfriend live down there. since this is a 240 i think it is cool that we should drive both cars there to represent. lol. I only know one person in GR that drives a Black 96 s14, he lives in grandville. And i never saw another s14 in GR. So where you from, what mod you done to your car

[DuffMan]

I think we need some kind of numbering system to keep track of the Erics.

Like Eric 1, Eric 2, ect.

:D

[PooPoo240]

I think you guys should move the other meet to this location. If the weather is nice...it'll be a nice place to chill. The lake in the back...nice big parking lots. I won't be able to make it to this one, but I really like this location better then the one in the woods on Oakton. just my .02 ;)

[gmgs14]

so how did the meet go, I couldn't make it unfortunately. Does anyone have pics?

[willcheung]

the meet is cool, I am the only one came from MI. there is about 10 cars, a lot of cool guys and some knowledge guys who know a lot about SR swap. I was trying to reach you GMGS14 on Saturday so we can meet up go there together. OH well, back to my question for gmgs14, where you mostly drive you car at, I really never saw any s14 in GR execpt mine and Ryan's black s14

[gmgs14]

Did you get my PM? Anyway, I'll be at the next meet. I live downtown so I'm the city everyday. During school I'm always at GVSU downtown but that's over now. I'm around everywhere though, don't really see any other 240s in town. I'm in grandville a lot too but have never seem another S14 there either. Oh well, yeah PM me next time your in GR and we can get together.

[KiDyNomiTe]

fun meet, i have no internet right now (I'm at school) so i'll get my pics up later.

[JDM180SX]

I had a good time, met people i've chatted with (TIM) and who seem to see my car often but i've never met in person. (JAMES) :p

I hope to see everyone at the next meet and maybe I'll have more work done by then.

I liked the location of this meet but it did get a bit chilly. Maybe another meet in warmer weather at the same spot would be nice.

I hope to see some links to or pics of the meet up soon. Then I can see how dirty my car looks on camera! hee hee :D
