March Texas Yaris Yak

[lilredrocket]

Ok everybody let's do it bigger and better than last time.

I will be hosting another Texas meet and everyone is invited... I don't have an exact date for you at the moment but it is going to be one of the first 2 weekends in March. I will have some food and drinks again but will need help again with some of the cost so if you are going to bring something post in here what it is so we don't end up with everyone bringing chips or something like that. I will already be working on one member's car but when that is done I. Am more than willing to help anybody with there projects if they bring them.

I know this is a short and vague intro to this (typing from my phone is hurting my eyes) more to come in the next few days... please fell free to ask any questions you may have. I will answer them as best as I can... I hope we might get some visiters from OK... hint hint cough...

For everyone that is comming the address is:

308 Julie Dr
Crowley, TX 76036

YarrrisWench and I were talking about a SA meet in March, but if there is a state-wide one I am sure she'll agree to defer to it.

Do you have any idea as to a location? I was discussing with ozmdd about maybe having a state-wide meet up around Temple, maybe somewhere around Belton Lake, as it would be a good central location for those from DFW, SA and Houston (130, 150 and 170 miles one-way respectively). I know that seems like a long trip, but as we all know, Texas is a big state! http://www.texasguntalk.com/forums/images/smilies/texas.gif

And just a note, 15-19 March is spring break for the kiddies down here in SA. I am not sure if other places are that same week; but if they are then places like Belton Lake may not be the best idea as it will be packed. I would suggest not doing this the weekend before or after that week...

But please keep us informed, as I for one would love to make this event!

Cheers! M2

[wildmongoose26]

I was wondering when something like this would happen again..... heheh

hopefully by then the crap freezing weather will be gone!!

[ozmdd]

Yes, you are correct about Spring Break being the 15-19 for many public schools this year (mine too). Probably best to keep that in mind.

I do agree that trying to stage a meet-up in a central location is a really good idea if we want to connect some of these different groups from around the state. There are some terrific places in the Temple/Belton area that could accomodate a large group, but there really needs to be a strong commitment from 20+ folks before its worth pursuing, or it'll end-up being 4 or 5 people with everyone else bailing in the week or 2 prior to the date.

I'm always a fan of trying to piggy-back something like this with another event that would draw people anyway, like a car show/event or such.

[Slick]

Well I should be there.... Nuff said :D

[lilredrocket]

I understand the want for this to be central but don't forget about frownonfun... he will be driving from Odessa. I will also be doing a little work on his car so somewhere with cover is prefered.

I was planning on doing the event on the weekend that there is going to be a big car show in the DFW area. That is the reason that I don't have the definate date yet.

Also this is not going to be a one day meet up but hoping for more like a 3 day weekend event. I should have some raffle prizes and other goodies for the members that show up.

More news to come....

[MadMax]

Understand, but if it is in DFW you'll most like not get as many folks from SA and Houston as you would if it were closer to the middle of the state. A 600-mile round trip is not going to entice me to go...

By the way, Odessa to Temple is only about 30 miles more than Odessa to Dallas.

[openzup]

sounds great try to be there

[lilredrocket]

Well I will need a place to work on a car... The a/c ystem to be more exact. Which I need to run by my shop to drain it the proper way.

If I recall there were 3 people for Houston, 1 from Gainsville, 1 from Odessa, and 5 Yaris owners from the DFW, oh yea and there was this Focus guy there too...?!! (he was cool he can come back)

[frownonfun]

hey we don't absolutely have to do the a/c delete the weekend of this proposed meet. oz was talking about some autocross thing in dfw in march that i'd like to go check out and wouldn't mind doing the delete on a weekend like that. one where there isn't so much coordination involved from all members. don't wanna be selfish.

and i have no idea where temple is but it's more than likely do able for me.


my vote is for the 6th and 7th of march. and the 5th too if we plan to make it a 3day shindig(?).

[MadMax]

Temple is about halfway between Austin and Waco on IH-35, right by Killeen.

From Odessa you'd take IH-20 east then south on 183 towards Brownville. From there you head over on Hwy 84 'til you're there. About 385 miles total, here's a map (http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=Odessa,+TX&daddr=Temple,+TX&hl=en&geocode=FTLt5QEdZf7l-Sn5fBM5asn7hjFGX2FUNKslFg%3BFXqF2gEdwqoy-imlkhSXb0JFhjFkyzaZBi5MLw&gl=us&mra=ls&sll=31.933517,-98.822021&sspn=4.120525,7.042236&ie=UTF8&ll=31.793555,-99.854736&spn=4.126781,7.042236&z=7).

[Lazerdot]

I'd like to go too, but don't want to miss a chance to wip OZMDD in the Autocross...

[custom Lftback]

Count me in fella's. this should be a blast

[ozmdd]

Cheers! M2

yeah i checked out a map today and although i have to say this is far from a geographical center i'm still fine with it.

still i think the dates are more important than location. lets determine WHEN would be the best days for everyone and then we'll hash out the where. but for now temple seems to be the consensus anyway.

[MadMax]

Actually, Brady is the geographical center of Texas; but that means a longer trek for the folks from Dallas and Houston. But if you do it by population, Temple--being about the middle of DFW, SA and Houston; and close to Austin--covers about four of the five largest cities in the state...

Got an undergrad degree in geography...can ya tell? :biggrin:

[lilredrocket]

Well if it were there I could only make one day.... and might not be able to stay that long...

[ozmdd]

I think the tech-day in early March at LilRed's is a good idea. Its still iffy on the weather, and that's not much planning time.
Lets use his Dallas-area meet-up as a planning session for a State-wide meet, and that will give us more time to research and plan.
Anyone who is willing to make the trip or who has a tech need (we'll help install/adjust damn near anything) is welcome to come, and we can discuss then post ideas for the rest of the state to discuss.

Maybe shoot for April as the target timeframe for the Texas meet-up? The central texas bluebonnets will be rockin by then, and the weather will be warm enough for camping if some folks want to save $$ on hotel accomodations or just love the outdoors.

I'm envisioning a Saturday event near a state park/campground, some hotels and a car show event. That provides a little something for everybody. I'm sure we can locate a good location for the actual rendevouz by talking to whatver clubs are local.

Can I get a response on people who are thinking along these lines?

[MadMax]

Sounds like a plan!

[custom Lftback]

Great idea ozmdd!!

[Slick]

I hate it..... :P

[lilredrocket]

Sounds good to me... This time I won't be tied up in a s/c install... So I can use my tools and knowledge for helping out other and getting to know so of you more.... I believe most of our members live in the DFW area anyways...

[lilredrocket]

Well Slick suck it up and come eat some apple pie.... you know you wanna...haha

[Kioshi]

have the meet March 14th like us in Norther California....it'll be so cool to have two different meets,same day, in different states

[ozmdd]

have the meet March 14th like us in Norther California....it'll be so cool to have two different meets,same day, in different states

Cool idea, but that's Spring Break here, so might be hard to round-up some of these hooligans!

[lilredrocket]

So I guess we need to try and get a mod to change the title of this thread to march install day and meet planning?

[frownonfun]

ok so what day is the meet to plan the meet?

[lilredrocket]

not sure yet any suggestions?

[MadMax]

Late March/early April? The later it is, the better the chance that it'll be warmer...

[Slick]

Ok, hold on. The meet to plan the meet is supposed to be one of the first two weekends in march. I think the official "center of texas" meet date has yet to be determined. However it will be discussed at the meet in march :)

[ozmdd]

agreed

[lilredrocket]

I really don't care about the weather during the install day at the begining of March because I have a furnace in that Garage that will make everyone think it is the middle of the summer in there... If it rains I have plenty of cover for everyone...

[frownonfun]

ok 6th and 7th then... dfw/planning meet.

[lilredrocket]

sounds good to me

[MadMax]

Ok, hold on. The meet to plan the meet is supposed to be one of the first two weekends in march. I think the official "center of texas" meet date has yet to be determined. However it will be discussed at the meet in march :)

Naw, we need to determine the date for the "Center of Texas" meet now. Not all of us are going to be at the DFW meet and the more advanced notice we can give for the CoT Meet, the better.

So, right now we are looking at late March/early April for the CoT Meet. Any thoughts on what would be good or bad weekends during that timeframe?

[lilredrocket]

I will post up the ideas that we are throwing around that day on here so you out of towners that wont be here can know whats going on and have a say in this too

[lilredrocket]

I do need to know who all is comming for the install/planning day in the first part of march so we can make sure there is going enough food....

also just thought i'd put this out there... i'll probably go camping at balmorhea state park the 27th and 28th of this month (if weather permits) so i wouldn't be able to do anything then. also thought i'd put that out there in case anyone wants to come along. i think it's a little out of the way for most but didn't want go out there without at least offering.

[ozmdd]

I'm in.

Frown, I'll keep Balmorhea in mind. I haven't been in years, but I loved camping out there in college.

[custom Lftback]

[lilredrocket]

[custom Lftback]

[custom Lftback]

[lilredrocket]

Sounds good... This is not a Texas Meet any more it is just an install day but anyone in Texas is more than welcome to come...

[etheliters]

Thinkng I'll make the ride again... Put me on that dang list too. Houston convoy come on.....

[custom Lftback]

Pm me for more info.. As far as food wise, what is everyone bringing?

[frownonfun]

i'll be bringing some wine that's for sure. i was far too worried about my car last time to really enjoy myself but this time i can hopefully chillax. and as far as food, unless it's non perishable, i was thinking it might just be better for everyone to pitch in some money toward whatever we decide to all eat once we get there. at least it'd be a good excuse for us all to roll up to a store with all our yarii. lol.

[Kimmy]

what time is everyone meeting??

[Slick]

Edit: Although.... with your new P3, you'll have a P1 lyin around just beggin to be used :)

[custom Lftback]

Yeah! We will slap that P1 back in your car! I can't wait for my P3!!!!!!!!!! :)

[Slick]

Now that will be a great duo :) I let you know when the speaker gets here. I've been talking alot with TheArchitect, who I feel like I owe a couple grand to, and I think we've almost hashed the perfect audio set-up for me :) Im abnormally excited about it. Like.... ORGAZMIC :P

[lilredrocket]

[Kimmy]

[Kimmy]

sad news guys, i might not make it out there =(. If my friend bails out on me i can't go, don't wanna drive up there by myself so im crossing my fingers in hopeing she'll go!!

[Slick]

U can meet us in Conroe :)

[custom Lftback]

U can meet us in Conroe :)

+2!

[lilredrocket]

Hey everybody.... We had a small meet up here in DFW and found out that they are switching the Cars and Coffee show from the last Sat. to the first Sat. of the month... So what does everyone think about that? The show gets over at 10:30 in the morning and it would take about an hour to get back to my house. So if you are interested in going to the CaC meet let me know and if you don't want to go then the meet at my house will probably start around noon on Sat.

Guys meeting up with you would be way out of her way...

[custom Lftback]

Slick and I will be up there friday evening so CaC sounds good to me!

[Kimmy]

U can meet us in Conroe :)

where is conroe??

[lilredrocket]

Just nort of houston way out of you way... you will be coming up I35 for pretty much all your trip they will be coming up I45

[custom Lftback]

Oh yeah. That is way out of your way. I didn't even look where you were.

So I'd say let's get an idea (now that it has been a couple of weeks) of the "for sure" attendees.

I'm gonna be there "for sure"! :)

[Slick]

For shizzle!!! :)

[Kimmy]

ok got the news from my friend, she is not going after all so there is a chance im not going :cry:

[lilredrocket]

Do you really need your friend to have a good time meeting new people?

[frownonfun]

i think kimmy just doesn't wanna make the trek alone. understandable. sometimes i welcome the adventure of traveling alone but other times i just wanna know someone is sharing the journey. still hope you'll consider it though kimmy.

i'd be willing to meet you in san antonio. if that helps your decision. but we'll likely have another meet soon anyway. one a little more in the center of texas. just things to consider.

[lilredrocket]

I know what you mean there....

Don't want to take a long drive bymyself...

Were u heading up to DFW as well?

[lilredrocket]

He is coming from Odessa... Another oppsite direction from you... You should try and round up some of the people from SA when you go through there!!!

[frownonfun]

yeah i'll probably leave friday though. friday evening possibly. not sure what time you had in mind.

san antonio is out of my way but i've driven through there so many times on my way to McAllen it's really not a BIG deal. besides i love San An Tone.

[Kimmy]

Idk my way around SA, just only know how to get to the Track from there lol, but if its out of your way i don't want to cause ne problems n mess up your trip. I work on friday i get out around 7

[frownonfun]

well it's whatever. like i said, there'll be more meets i'm sure. at some point in the summer i think we should have a really really big full on Texas meet with MicroImage folks and all. around Temple or wherever madmax was saying. so if you'd rather wait till you got someone to travel with that you know i totally understand.

[Kimmy]

well im gonna c if i can get my other friend to go, i know she is down to take a trip with me. Ill keep u guys posted on what im going to do.

[counterfiend]

And dont worry about being the only girl. the guys dont seem to bad about being leg humpers and my fiance (Wildmongoose) will be there too. Yall can do nails and braid each others hair or whatever it is you girls do.

lol ok, sounds good to me :thumbsup:

[lilredrocket]

Counterfiend are you two going to the cars and coffee meet sat.?

[lilredrocket]

Ok everybody I am having a little trouble covering all the costs of everything for the meet and need a little help to make this event something special. The things that are needed are:

Hamburger patties packages x2
Hot Dogs packages x2
Hamburger buns packages x2
Hot Dog buns packages x2
Potatoe Salad
Chips
What ever you like to drink...

Also one thing that we will go through a lot of is water so we might need a few cases... The last meet I believe we went through 4 cases. So if we could get a few people to pick up some that would be great!!!

Thank you and sorry I am having to ask this of everyone (I really hate doing it) but I really need the help...

[Slick]

I will bring 2 hamburger buns (top and bottom), 2 hamburger patties :P seriously though, when Erica and I get there, we'll pick up the beer and 2 cases of water and whatever misc. that needs getting. Anyone like vodka?

[lilredrocket]

I know OZMDD loves his Patron!!!! Fixed the post for thing to bring because someone tried to be a smart ass and FAILED badly

[Slick]

I thought that SOMEONE was quite succesful in being a smart ass. Because SOMEONE got a rise out of you :P

[lilredrocket]

No rise here.... you failed like this guy...

[frownonfun]

that's what happens when you give hillbillies money.

[counterfiend]

Possibly go. Depends on the weather. Looks like it says there is a chance of rain friday-tuesday of this week. LAME.

And whatever we need to bring just let us know.

[Kimmy]

Ok sounds like a dumb question lol sorry, so is the C&C meet is that the address on the front page?!?!?!

[ozmdd]

Depending on when you plan to arrive and where you'll be coming from, you might want to go straight to the C&C. LilRed's house is on the opposite side of DFW from Plano.

ahh ok gotcha :thumbup:

[ozmdd]

As a side note, I will be running an AutoX event at Lone Star Park (between Dallas and Ft Worth) on Saturday morning/early afternoon, if anyone is interested in dropping-by on the way home from C&C, or if you are on your way to Lil Red's. I'll be heading to Red's place after the autoX is finished, but if you haven't watched an autoX before, this is a good opportunity to see what its all about and maybe catch a ride.

See the autoX thread for more info.

[lilredrocket]

Kimmy what day and time are you going to be up here?

[etheliters]

Houston covoy meet time? On i 45 for sure,but where?what day?

[lilredrocket]

I believe Slick and custom LFTback are heading up Friday afternoon. Not sure when JT258 is coming...

[Slick]

Custom and I haven't put a solid time down yet. Were thinking 1 o'clock ish

[wildmongoose26]

LR.... do you have a time when you want DFW people over? I didn't know if we were aiming for a time to eat or just come as we can after work.

Looking forward to seeing everyone!

[Slick]

Ok, Custom Liftback and I are planning on leaving around 10am on firday. If there are any Houston guys, or anyone for that matter, that are wanting to head up to DFW via I-45 hit us up. The more the better :D

[custom Lftback]

Yeah let's get a big ol' convoy goin!!! It's gonna be a great weekend!!

[Kimmy]

*woot* *woot* can't wait to meet everyone!!

[lilredrocket]

LR.... do you have a time when you want DFW people over? I didn't know if we were aiming for a time to eat or just come as we can after work.

Looking forward to seeing everyone!

What day are you coming? Some are showing up friday soo they don't have miss out on all the fun... The meet really starts on Sat. I figured that everyone staying here and anyone else that wants to join going to the Cars and Coffee meet Sat morning and then heading back to my house after that and that would be about 12:00 to 12:30... So it's what every you two want to do...

[Kimmy]

Today is the day!!! Can't wait to meet everyone so excited!

[lilredrocket]

Yep!!! When the people that are getting here today get here I probably won't really be myself and I'm sorry about it because I was up tooooo late last night because my daughter got admitted to the hospital last night. Everything is ok I'm just tired and miss her...

[frownonfun]

dang sorry to hear that but if all is well that's good. i'll be there tomorrow. probably drop in on oz at the autox first.

[Kimmy]

Aww im sorry to hear that, hope everything is good with her!

[lilredrocket]

Yep all is good she got released this morning!!!! Very happy she is home!!

[counterfiend]

Yay for the little one back home. I know its scary. So we will see yall tomorrow at Cars and Coffee?

[lilredrocket]

Yep there will be 4 Yarii heading from my house and I believe Lazerdot is going up there as well... So that will be 6 of us not to bad of a showing...

[frownonfun]

well... strangest thing just happened. took my car to toyota to have them wash it and detail it and they called me a little bit ago to inform me of some bad news. so i don't think i'll be going anywhere because my right front control arm or cv joint or something snapped when one of the guys at toyota went to move my car.

i'm still kinda in shock right now cause i don't know what would have caused this. is it possible that if i somehow installed the shock and spring wrong i could have contributed to this?

[ozmdd]

Damn...that's weird. Your car isn't really all that low, is it? I've seen the suspension resting on the axle (or visca-versa) when cars are dropped super-low, but not like yours.

[etheliters]

so I missed the convoy this morning. Leaving houston now... how late ya'll gonna be up?So sorry about your suspension mike. Is toyota gonna fix it? It'd only take like 3 hours i bet...

[lilredrocket]

^ hey sorry didn't see this till now going to bed are you going to the show in the morning...

[lilredrocket]

@lilredrocket: Thanks for having all of us over that was a blast. I'd like to take you up on helping me with my installs if you don't mind (ill bring the beer lol). I'm just apprehensive about doing it myself.

@lazerdot: Thanks for all the autoX info. I look forward to trying to slam your times sometime. :p

@Kimmy: Nice to meet you as well. You gotta send me a link for those headlights and some install instructions those are dope!

[Slick]

Alright, since no one has done any major photo posting im going to start another thread dedicated to the March Yaris Yak. It will be up asap. Like 15 min from now :) Please, everyone feel free to add any pics ya'll have.

[Yariz]

Would anyone be interested in a Houston, Tx Meet?

[custom Lftback]

Yeah! I think etheliters was thinking about having one in houston in May. But nothing planned so far. I know there is one in San Antonio coming up.

[Yariz]

Ill host one in April, if people are interested.

[custom Lftback]

I'd start a new thread and see how many people wanna come out

[zachryboles]

yah id convoy down if anyone else from the DFW is going but im not trucking down there alone....

[lilredrocket]

I have made that trip many of times alone nothing wrong with it. I would make the trip down if it was on a Sunday...

[Kimmy]

i would go, just need to know 2 weeks in advance so i can request off.

zachryboles

convoying down there alone isnt that bad, i convoyed up to dfw alone it was pretty fun

[zachryboles]

ive done it a million times i just dont feel like doing it..... im saving my strength for a super trip this summer hopefully.

[Kimmy]

ahh okay

[frownonfun]

hey i'll be in DFW on the 17th of april if anybody wants to meet up. it's a saturday.

[zachryboles]

lol wish it woulda been the 11th thats when me and lilred are doing my installs haha... but yah i know you were gonna be at that last meet so if your in need of some company hit me up.

[lilredrocket]

Cool I'm sure we can get a small meet orgaized by then

[Yariz]

I am going to see what I can do, parking is a bit of an issue, but I have had a meet before and we were ok. Only 8 of us though. I will figure a date out, and put the thread link in here if you want.

[rdeleon23]

I would like to attend so count me in!!

[frownonfun]

yeah i'll be up there that weekend for the nascar race there at the speedway on sunday so anywhere you guys wanna get together on saturday is cool with me. wouldn't mind if lilredrocket wanted to help me rip out an a/c compressor and such but it's not a real big priority.

[lilredrocket]

Working Sat. till 3 probably and wont have access to an a/c machine after that. Sorry

[etheliters]

[Yariz]

If anyone would like to propose a date, we can meet this month if you like. PM me with dates, and I will start a new thread with a poll.

[Kimmy]

[zachryboles]

There you go folks. Please let me know if you have any new ideas on that thread, I am open to whatever, and don't mind helping with a project at my place. Keep in mind we can only do one or two cars while there; and nothing that involves air tools. (not at my house)

[lilredrocket]

Frownonfun is it just you or the whole family? What hotel/area are you staying in?

[Yariz]

so its the 24th now.

[frownonfun]

so are plenty of people coming to this houston meet? i'm interested in going but not sure yet.

[lilredrocket]

Check out the Houston meet thread... I thought Etheliters was going to host a Houston meet towards June sometime so more people like me can go. No kids will be in school then. I will def make it to that meet.
