Do it. Several of us, myself included, drive that far for the meet every time and it's always worth it. I think navseal is from Nebraska as well and he's made it a couple of times, maybe you guys could caravan in together.

Hey guys... I added myself on here when I had my 1994 ST. It was AMAZING! I bought it from an old man who had it from new. The car was SPOTLESS, and it had 64,000 miles. I never drove it hard, it being an automatic ST and all.







Then... I sold that, went through a couple more Toyota's and then bought a 2002 GT-S with a 6 speed transmission. Did a bunch of stuff cosmetically to it, and then I totaled it. frown.gif





Then I bought another 7th gen. A 2000 GT-S with a 6 speed transmission. This is the car I will probably take to your guys' meet.









The only thing that will be different is that I will have polished 18" TRD wheels on it and a GReddy front lip...

w00t! New people!

Luckily for you guys, I just found out that trading in Abby for a newer car won't help me much, so we're going to keep her and make her an experimental swap whore. Unfortunately, nothing will be done by the time our meet comes along, so you'll just see the same old ****e.

Maybe, if I'm lucky, we might bring down Stacy's 88 ST165.... If she's done.

We had a great turnout last Fall. I'm hoping this one will be even better. There were a few guys that posted in the Fall V3 thread that I will be contacting soon as well. The more advance notice people have, the better.

I'm hoping this meet will show several changes in everyone's cars. Ours probably won't be any different, but I'm gonna be pushing hard for the GT4 front end and new paint. It'd be awesome if Luke's swap could be finished. Skyler, I'd love to know what you have planned for the Celica. I still haven't gotten to see Tom's car since he got the GT4 front end and Chris, if you drive the ST165 down... I totally call dibs on a ride.

Any suggestions for this meet? Ways to improve upon our previous meets? Other than the burgers showing up on time, I mean. That one's a given. I still say we ban that guy.... owned.gif

So what usually goes down at a 6th gen meet? Eat, bull****, and check out cars?

Bitter usually shows up in his GT-S but he might bring his Mazda this time. We usually meet up, eat, exchange stories, do a photoshoot, then we go for a cruise and go hiking. It's always a good time.

Bitter usually shows up in his GT-S and toots his horn, then goes and proceeds to scare the daylights out of someone by putting it on 3 wheels around a corner, but he might bring his Mazda this time. We usually meet up, eat, exchange stories, do a photoshoot, then we go for a cruise and go hiking. It's always a good time.

I don't know what car I'll take. Depends how I'm feeling that day and what the weather is like. GTS needs coils, bushings, and tires. Spring/summer purchases/installations. Just need to get off my lazy ass and tear things apart for the bushings...and buy the coils.

As of right now it's safe to say Sammi and I will be there. Last year it fell on our anniversary vacation,. Only thing that may stop us is if we buy our new place before then. so I'm gonna say we're 90% sure to be there.

Eh, just haven't been on. Car is stored for winter and there's not much going on with that site that interests me.

If your car was a 5 speed, I'd ditch my new 7th gen and buy yours for sure. Then again, if it was a 5 speed you probably wouldn't be selling it, right? I totally have a spare S54 in my garage... Just saying.

There will still be a parts swap at this meet- I'm bringing a pair of doors and some shop lights for Chris.

When I get time later today, I'll start making an official attendance list.

Yeah, I got a 7th gen but it's a beater. I have the trans and shift cables but those are for sale. I don't have anything else that I would need for the manual conversion. Otherwise I'd be seriously interested.

It occurs to me, I think, and I could be wrong, but I think the S54 bolts to the 2ZZ. I know the C series do, as does the E153, so since the E153 bolts to the 2ZZ and the S54 bolts to the 3S/5S and the E153 bolts to the 3S, the S54 bolts to the 2ZZ. No clue about axles and shift cables.

It's kind of an up in the air thing... Hopefully it will work out, but it may not. I'm not counting on having her back until summer, but I'm hoping I'll have her mid march if everything goes right.

Regardless if I have Fury or not, I'll be there. I'll just rent a car to get there if need be smile.gif

Hopefully Amanda can get Fury back on the road. Are we hiking at Matthiessen State Park again or somewhere different? It'd be cool if we could get a video compilation of this meet thrown together, but I'm not volunteering... I'm not much good with a camera and useless when it comes to editing.
