hey fellas,

i have yet to make it to a meet and this one is a little far but i would like to try and come down if i can but it depends on where (how deep into VA). Do you guys have any idea where, or an approx location? Like a mall or something with an address so i can see about how far it would be and try to plan it out to see if i can do it or not? Sound like it would be a good time!

Mike and I a while back were talking about having a install meet for the MD/VA/DC/PA area near the end of June or in July. We had a pretty good outcome last time for our 2007 First Meet at Dave and Busters, and I was actually quite surprised with the turnout. I know that some of you have some new stuff to install, don't lie now.. Even I have a few things to install myself. What's better than spending a weekend installing parts, and having a BBQ at the side.


Anyway, Mike's interested in throwing this at a specific Park area near his home in VA which sounds like a pretty good idea to me. The whereabouts of this exact location is unknown to me as of yet, because I don't live near him, and Mike's been a bit busy. I'm throwing this up to gauge interest in fellow MD/VA/DC/PA area members to make this meet even better than our last one.




I'm sure that CGPTSX06 will be joining us all the way from PA, so let's have a nice turnout for this particular meet. I'm willing to give up a full day on a Saturday/Sunday for this meet. I really need the break from work anyway.

Date: June 30th
Location : Northern VA, exact location TBA (check post #22, final location will be posted here)
Time : 12pm - Whenever

Those Attending :

1. EuRTSX
2. CGTSX2004
3. Reach
4. SHYUperman
5. CGPTSX06
6. |crazy azn|
7. jmathew34
8. CrazyCool[O]
9. Savio
10. CGTSX07
11.
12.
13.
14.
15.
.....

I'm interested, or is this for TSX owners only? Don't want to intrude on anyones party!

Its a TSX party, but we won't kick you out if you want to show up I'm sure some of the guys would love to see a new TL-S in person if they haven't already had a chance to.

The more the merrier. Just keep checking this thread periodically as we get closer and firm up the details. I will update the first post whenever anything critical is set.

That would work for me too! I saw it says Northern VA, so can some one just throw a rough address out there for me, or a place, town, something....lol? Just trying to figure it a few things out!

I'm in for sure. I know I have class that day so I will be a little late. Let me know what I should bring.

Also, are we set on the location?

I checked out the location again last night. Although its a public lot, I think it will be good. Aside from a no loitering sign, there are no cameras or administration there, and I'm 99% sure its not patrolled by any rent a cops. All in all its similar to the D&B location, but flatter and larger.

I don't think we can BBQ, but we should still bring picknick type stuff. I'm looking forward to it.

I think I'll be good to go...

You guys need me to bring anything?

I'm buying some brake pads...probably some Hawking Ceramics. Can you guys help me with the install? Will I need to buy anything else to have those installed?

Recommend that you bring a C-clamp of some sort to force the piston back into the caliper. Otherwise, hand tools should be sufficient.

apparently Progress RSBs have been on back order these past few months and I won't get one delivered until after the meet

I was thinking about picking up some Hawk HPS pads. 'll be doing a lot of driving from NOVA to Baltimore these next two months and I'm worried about the stop and go traffic, plus I'm not a big fan of the OEM pads. You guys think it's worth installing HPS' even though I only have 350 miles on my car?

Thanks

I'll be there till about 7-8pm, and be there around 10:30 - 11:00 if anyone wants to come early, have a few bites to eat and just talk.

Again, no.



Technically yes, but it's a TSX Specific group meet. All the previous MD/VA/DC Meet threads were held in the TSX Discussion section.

Whoa there...we won't install it for you, we'll help you install it. You've gotta pull your weight.

Also, has anyone at the meet done the foglight rewire? I would like to get this done too. As you can see, I am not too comfortable messing around with the electrical parts of my car.

Yes I would like to get this foglight rewire done as well.

Another person that can help us, if he shows up is Dwest. Hopefully he chimes in and joins us for this day.
