Based on input from last night, it seems that Friday is the night to be there.

underst8

I just rolled back to the race sight during the day to check it out. Man that place is sketchy as hell lol, much more so when you can see what's there. Definitely a good spot for racin though, no traffic, no real cross streets to speak of. I like it.

asujosh1

We just need to get a street sweeper out there to get rid of some of the dust. That 350 spun all the way through 1st and there wasnt a mark on the ground.

Razzi

lol yeah, all the cars were spinning. even yours and dan's were spinnin when u guys ran off

underst8

somebody needs to get a broom or 20 out there

TL-ed

If they spin long enough eventually the street will be clean ... and black!

ABCTypeS

Oh man, i didnt check my AZine for a week and i miss the MN meet! sorry. im totally down for when ever you guys want to roll next

TL-ed

We will meet again the coming Friday. Its probably not going to be a 'meet' like the one we had last week but you might be able to meet few of us. And if more people show up we can definitely have another meet too

underst8

Hey dudes,

We should get together during the day one weekend (once we've washed our cars) and take some nice group shots! One car gets boring lol.

TL-ed

This sure is a sweet ride man!!! I am totally digging the last two pictures love the background. How do you get there? I can see its behind the theatre, I want to go take some shots there tomorrow morning!!!!!

Yeah we should meet in some time when a sun is still up. The coming weekend might be nice.

TL-ed

especially the third last

underst8

Thanks Hasham. The third to last is my favorite one too.

You take Portland Ave S toward the river if you are coming from the city. Just punch Portland Ave S and S Second St as an intersection into google maps or something and you can get there and then it's obvious.

Let me know if your coming over to take pics and I'll drive down and we can snap a few together as well. I live 5 blocks away. Tomorrow morning aint gonna happen unless it's mad early, and I don't think that will happen either lol.

TL-ed

I got too excited when i saw that picture. I don't think i can tomorrow morning either. With the drive to work and back I don't think I will be able to do it before the weekend

How about we all gather for a photo shoot saturday before sunset? We can call it a small meet

and those who missed are most welcome!!

lusid

My car is all dirty and I dont want to clean it in the cold!

Can someone do a recap on page 4? Date / Time / location?

My Nov. is extremely booked, family events, gf events, food so I can get fat, 2nd job and more!

TL-ed

We met last weekend but would like to meet again this Saturday. underst8 had a nice suggestion about a photo shoot. We can all gather sometime before the sunset this Saturday. Last week we meet at 1300 University Ave, St Paul and then drove around a bit before hitting the strip to check out some drag racing. We can either pick the same spot or any where else more convenient for everyone.

As for the car being clean don't worry about that TL speaks for itself

TL-ed

How about "The Grand Rounds Scenic Byway" for a run. The twists next to the river looks fun. Here is the link to google maps:

http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=e...&t=h&z=16&om=1

TL-ed

I will go check it out today and update you guys

underst8

meet will probably be somewhere in St Paul or Minneapolis area next Friday night or sat during the day before sunset for group pics. No real concreteness yet. It's probly just gonna be one of those things where whoever can show up will as we get closer - that's the way it feels.

I'll be there whenev - bring that TL around!


As for the scenic byway, it's a nice cruise but nothing speedy. It's like a thin road/scenic drive along the river. Real pleasant, but might suck cause you really wanna rip it up around the curves and can't cause it runs through a park with people and kids and probably cops and such. But it's relaxing and a bunch of acuras rolling down it might be nice. would be good for pics most def.

asujosh1

I can make it for a photo shoot, just give me at least an hour notice so I can put a quick wash on my baby.

Also, if you guys are meeting up near the Guthrie, give me a call, I live across the street from there.

Takata 18

Yes I would be interested. Please let me know Razzi called me at 7:30PM to inform me . I need a little more time. I got there you guys had left to Buffalo Wild Wings.

TL-ed

I just came back drove up and down the twisty road but underst8 is right its a thin road. It was a weekday around noon not lot of people around but Saturday esp if the weather is nice there might be lot of people. Its def a nice place to shoot some pictures. Those arches might look nice at night too they have lights pointing up in the arch if anyone has a nice camera for some night time shot its going to be awesome!!

TL-ed

I am going to go check out some action Friday night at Vandalia St. I know underst8 will be there and possible Razzi as well, anyone else interested can meet us there too.

Otherwise let's all meet Saturday morning/afternoon behind the Guthrie theatre for some group pictures and a chilled out drive on the scenic road!!

TL-ed

Here is the address for the Saturday meet:

Razzi

man i love how you guys are so into it lol, feels so good to know im not the only motorhead who drives an old man's car

TL-ed

Here is the list for photoshoot:

1. Razzi - 2nd Gen

3. underst8 - 2nd Gen

underst8

hahahahaha i love it.

razzi i don't drive no old man's car I drive a vtec monster lol.

I got a decent 7.1 megapixel olympus camera and i think I got a tripod around here somewhere so night shots are on.


...oh yeah and PS I think I just got a Tein S-tech/Bilstein suspension off a guy on the forum. Waiting on confirmation and paypal. Josh any advice on the install? Cost, etc...muhuhahahaha

TL-ed

7.1 - Perfect!!!

I will bring my point and shot camera too it does wonders sometimes just not at night... I still want to try long exposure shots to see the results.

TL-ed

Sign a petition to eradicate Minnesota the front plate law!

http://www.petitiononline.com/MNPlate/petition.html

underst8

nice work

asujosh1

Can we get one of those petitions to get rid of the tint law too? I would love to get rid of that too. If we can't get rid of it, it would be nice to bring the limit down to something reasonable like 25% or something, 50% is a waste of time and money.

As for the swap, if you have a garage, I'll help you out, it's not that difficult.

asujosh1

To those of you that are interested, I will be heading over to the Cardinal on 55 tomorrow night for a dart league that I am subbing in for. Starts at 7 and goes to 10, I think.

There isn't really any parking down there, so I would recommend taking the light rail down there.

Ry4an

I run through that parking lot every day. I'll be there at noon. In fact, I just canceled my Friday morning service appointment where I was going to have my winter wheels put on -- they can wait 'till Monday if there are photos to be taken.

asujosh1

Seriously? You pay someone to change your wheels? Are they swapping out tires too?

TL-ed

haha I think he meant tires. I don't have the right tool to swap tires so I would have to pay some one to do that but wheels??? no way!

The list is growing :thumbs up:

1. Razzi - 2nd Gen
2. TL-ed - 3rd Gen
3. underst8 - 2nd Gen
4. asujosh1 - 2nd Gen
5. Takata 18 - 3rd Gen
6. gunner252 - 3rd Gen
7. ABCTypeS - 2nd Gen
8. lusid (may be) - 3rd Gen
9. Ry4an - 3rd Gen??
10.

Ry4an

Nope, wheels. While I recognize it makes me a big damn yuppy, I'll gladly pay a few bucks per year for someone to swap 'em out for me and store the off-seasons in their shop rather than my basement.

Speaking of paying for what you could do yourself, I'll be at the T&Y Carwash 20 minutes before the photo shoot. http://www.citypages.com/bestof2003/...d/summary.asp: T & Y Car Wash
601 N. Fifth Street. It's a hand wash that does a good job and definitely takes care not to scratch the rims when pulling the car through. I imagine if six Acuras showed up in 30 minutes they couldn't help but notice.

underst8

I'm there. Better than the damn spray n wash I had to resort to last time.

What time is everyone available to meet on saturday? I'm free all day - hopefully going to install my new pedal set in the morning before we all meet up

Ry4an

On the google link it said photos at noon, so I was figuring car wash at 11:30, but I'm plenty flexible so long as I don't have to wake up before 10am.

asujosh1

I can get behind the storage thing, living in the city does have its storage limits.

x2 on the time for the shoot, I'm mostly open, just need to know when.
