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 · 10-09-2002, 10:51 PM

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

*crioten* · 10-13-2002, 08:54 AM

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 · 10-14-2002, 05:47 PM

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

BrickTop · 10-14-2002, 07:50 PM

o'fallon, mo here.

shark0769 · 10-16-2002, 09:00 PM

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 · 10-18-2002, 11:15 PM

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 · 10-21-2002, 01:12 PM

I say we plan a get-together then.  Maybe November 8th or 9th (Fri./Sat.).  Any ideas on where to meet?  A restaurant maybe? Or a park?  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 · 10-21-2002, 03:06 PM

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

240GURL · 10-21-2002, 05:51 PM

Saturday works.  I'll check around for a public place somewhat central to where everyone could find.  Most of the parks I know of are either too hard to find (if you are bad with directions) or closed after dark.  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 · 10-22-2002, 04:54 PM

Sounds like a plan.  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='

*crioten* · 10-27-2002, 02:17 PM

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

whateverjames · 10-27-2002, 09:28 PM

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

oberkill · 10-27-2002, 10:21 PM

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 · 10-28-2002, 07:14 AM

Well, I'm in town now, but the 9th is bad for me.  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 · 10-28-2002, 02:15 PM

I can do Forrest Park on Saturday or Sunday, but Sunday would probably work better for me if the spot is Forrest Park.  And for those who have Hockey tickets (LUCKY!!&#33<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='

'>.  Can everyone else do Sunday?  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.  I have had nothing but problems with shops around here.  I prefer to drive 3.5 hours to Chicago to have my car worked on.

*crioten* · 10-28-2002, 03:13 PM

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

glen

thelinja · 10-28-2002, 04:53 PM

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

240GURL · 10-28-2002, 05:48 PM

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

whateverjames · 10-28-2002, 07:54 PM

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 · 10-29-2002, 08:35 AM

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 · 11-01-2002, 07:20 AM

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

thelinja · 11-01-2002, 04:40 PM

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

*crioten* · 11-02-2002, 01:44 PM

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

*crioten* · 11-02-2002, 06:18 PM

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

whateverjames · 11-03-2002, 05:20 PM

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  <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/thumbs-up.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':thumbsup:'>

240GURL · 11-04-2002, 01:58 PM

Okay, for starters, it is supposed to rain on sunday, so we need to go somewhere with cover.  Also, there is a home rams game on sunday so traffic will be a b**ch downtown.  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).  I mean, do we have to go to a park?  <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/huh.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':huh:'>

Nerfdude · 11-04-2002, 02:39 PM

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* · 11-04-2002, 03:09 PM

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?
