Sounds good, Zack. I probably won't have many pictures but I'm still up for sitting out of the cruise and filming it. Might get a good shot there, or the video can be frozen to get a still frame of everyone's car.

Tom, hopefully your friend can make it. I love those cars. I've got a friend swapping an RB25 into his '72.

It won't hurt my feelings any. Brigette will probably be driving anyway. Hopefully you still have the Celica for the meet.

I'm pretty pumped for this meet guys... I love the sixth generations Celi's, so I'll be excited to see a group of them.

I'm getting my front lip for the car painted right now, and sending the 18" TRD wheels in to be totally restored.

I have the OEM 16" GT-S wheels if anyone would like to buy them... They don't have any bends in them, just the typical ageing. They have just some slight aluminum corrosion. They will come with Pirelli tires, they have about 50% tread left. I don't mean to add this into the thread but figured I'd offer you guys who want a nice five spoke look to your car.

Here is the new lip I got, just getting it painted.



Here is a TRD wheel teaser...



Here are the OEM 5x100 GT-S wheels...

You should hang onto the stock wheels as spares/winter wheels.

I don't drive it too much in the winter... Especially when I get that front lip on there, it'll be like a snow plow.

What kind of pads are you running?

Maxi pads, extra absorbent. For those bad days.
Glad to see a few new faces coming thumbsup.gif

Wheels for track tires then? I'm sure there's a better cheaper selection in 16" and they're lighter.

This looks like its going to be a pretty decent size meet! I'm getting pumped....

Hopefully I don't break anything on the Dragon the week beforehand.


Daniel:

We have to work out a game plan. I'm working in Ft. Wayne all week, so we can text it out this week.

I'm definitely excited for the current turnout. The more, the merrier. I wish I could go to the Dragon... There's just no way I could get the time off work. Feel free to text me any time. I'm pretty flexible with the game plan. I will probably be going home soon to grab your doors and shop lights and get them over here to the apartment with me so I'm ready for the meet.

With all the Go Pro's coming, we might as well find an epic photoshoot spot to cruise to after hiking. Hi def photoshoot, anyone?

I almost bought a Go Pro today just so I could post in this thread and say I was bringing mine too. Honest to god truth, I almost spent the cash just for a single post in this thread. I'd never even use it.

Don't worry, there will be two of us there without one laugh.gif I'm going to PM you on newcelica in a minute.

I don't know about the rest of you guys but I for one have never had a true Chicago pizza. If everything plays out the way I'm hoping it does, I'm tempted to cruise into the city after the meet and find out what all the hype is about.

Never got a PM... And I went to Chicago on Saturday and went to Gino's East... We got a medium deep dish pepperoni pizza. It was REALLY good. I wouldn't call it the best pizza I've ever had, but it was good. One cool thing about that place is that you can write on just about anything.

If everything plan out right for me. We're planing on spending the night on Friday and Sat night before heading back home. Any nite-light action around the street to be around town. I've been to Chicago area many times. Just for busniess meeting for work. Didn't have any time to explore town. Any suggestion welcome. Thanks
Daniel: We can definitely arrange to get some Chicago style pizza. Stacy and I will eat it whenever the chance comes up and manda will NEVER turn down an opportunity to go to Giordanos smile.gif
