NorCal Meet?

[Kaotic Lazagna]

okay, two threads, and it seems like we're (NorCal members) going in circles here. i'll just put my foot down and say we're meeting at that location that guysmily posted in the NorCal poll thread. seems like it has a great backdrop, and probably fun roads to cruise on. plus, we can get something to eat before or after the cruise. so yeah, Salmon Falls it is. now the question is, when is everyone who's interested available?

i'll start the list on who's interested. add on...

I'm off on sundays and thursdays so if its one of those days it would be all good lol. Where has yrs gone btw?

[yrsdrgn]

dang.....it's been a while. well while i was gone i was trying to make money enough to pay off my navi and get them tires swapped but working at safeway sucks ass compared to my old job and apparently i'm not getting any of them anymore.....very sad. sold the rims back to my friend also so I'm basically at a standstill. As for a meet I'm still up for one if there is a date listed for it. Place? I don't mind hehe.

[Kaotic Lazagna]

okay, i was about to say that it wasn't happening, but now that you guys replied, it's good.

as for a date, paradigm says he's available Thursdays and Sundays. i'm available after August 16, so basically any Thursday or Sunday after that, i'm cool with.

place: since no once can decide, i'm making it at Salmon Falls. it's about 40 minutes away from Sac. same place that guysmily posted in the other NorCal thread.

[yrsdrgn]

alrighty then haha...............mid August it is!!!!!
AHAHAHAHAHA

[Kaotic Lazagna]

hahaha. cool...sometime in mid August at Salmon Falls.

[Blenjar]

[Kaotic Lazagna]

you got time, Blen. heh, drive west to NorCal for the meet.

[JosephDoc]

I really wish I can come to meet up with all of you since I am new here and just got the car. I am pretty much nailed at office even on weekend and it is a bit too far from South Bay.

I will come for sure if we have a gathering closer. Good to know I have a NorCal group to stick with! :laugh:

it's okay, i'm sure there'll be more than just one NorCal meet (hopefully).

[Kaotic Lazagna]

if no one else replies by Monday, i'm out (unless you other four want to have a small meet still).

[GuySmily]

Doesn't sound like there's enough interest. Maybe we should just get together and do some wrenching. I need to flush my clutch and brake fluid =p

[Kaotic Lazagna]

hahaha, i want to add some RedLine tranny oil in mine, like i was telling you at L&L. hahaha...

[barebonedvitz]

so we're on then right?

mid-august sounds perfect! my car should be done by then.

[Kaotic Lazagna]

okay, a very small meet over at Salmon Falls. lol...for the people in Sac, we should meet up at my work at L&L in Natomas (Del Paso) and we can drive up to Salmon Falls as a pack.

[paradigm]

I'm down, just lemme know when.

[Kaotic Lazagna]

I'm down, just lemme know when.

cool, sometime in mid-August on a Sunday or Thursday.

[Motorhead6T5]

LMK I'm always down for a spirited cruise through the twistys,problem is my weekends in august are pretty well taken already. If you finalise a date I will know for sure.

[Kaotic Lazagna]

ok, the days that i think we should have the meet is on August 26th or the 30th. can you guys meet any of those days?

[Kaotic Lazagna]

oh, Motorhead6T5, go with the S.Tech springs. they're great!

[Motorhead6T5]

oh, Motorhead6T5, go with the S.Tech springs. they're great!Should I change my order?

[Motorhead6T5]

ok, the days that i think we should have the meet is on August 26th or the 30th. can you guys meet any of those days?
I will be in oregon on the 26th

[paradigm]

Either one works for me.

[Kaotic Lazagna]

Should I change my order?

they're a little more than the DF's, but are worth it IMO.

[Kaotic Lazagna]

I will be in oregon on the 26th

Either one works for me.

30th it is.

[GuySmily]

Thursday? Odd day =p

I'm off work (I work in El Dorado Hills) at 3:30, and my girlfriend (who owns the Yaris) is off at 4. I'll see if she's interested in going or not.

I could go for some Claim Jumpers after the drive if we end up near there (as in on 80).

[Motorhead6T5]

they're a little more than the DF's, but are worth it IMO.Can you give me some input on why,I noticed people tend to favor tein but give no reason. I think the df's are back ordered till next week so i still have time to change I think.
What is he drop diff +/- between the two?

[Motorhead6T5]

30th it is.Cool count me in,I'm up in marysville BTW.:thumbsup:

[GuySmily]

I recommend that we meet at Starbucks, 4311 Town Center Blvd, El Dorado Hills, CA 95762 (For those going to Kaotic Lazagna's L&L pre meet first, this will be your destination)
There is a Valero next door, Chevron at the entrance to the shopping center, and Shell/76 on the other side of the freeway, so you have your choice for gas.

Possible route #1 (The LONG route)

The fun part:

Driving along Folsom Lake is nice too.

Approx. 1 hour from Starbucks to Claim Jumper
or 45 minutes from freeway (50) to freeway (80)

Claim Jumper Restaurant (http://www.claimjumper.com/hypertext/home.htm) - Best steak house I've ever been to. Approx $15-30 per person. If you guys think it's too expensive I'm sure we can find a McDonald's instead =p

[GuySmily]

Possible route #2
If you guys just want a quick round-trip drive, we can turn around on Salmon Falls. We don't even have to go as far as the map shows:

i've never been to Claim Jumpers before. heard it is good tho.

[Kaotic Lazagna]

i can't remember what the DF's are; but i think they're 1.5 inches. the S.Tech's are at least 1.9 inches and have a stiffer rear spring set up than the Tanabe's (no bottoming out). i've had both my parents and my brother, plus some cargo and not bottom out yet. but yeah, i also have the TRD Sprotivo's on too.

[Kaotic Lazagna]

Cool count me in,I'm up in marysville BTW.:thumbsup:

hey, i went camping there twice or so before.

[Kaotic Lazagna]

hey guysmily, if everyone's cool eating at Claim Jumper's, it's cool with me.

[yrsdrgn]

is this still happening? maybe we should try having a combined meet with the SoCal folks?

[Kaotic Lazagna]

i won't be able to do the combine meet. but i would still like this mini NorCal meet to happen. August 30.

[yrsdrgn]

dang...i start school Aug 23

[Kaotic Lazagna]

dang...i start school Aug 23

serious? if your school load is not too bad (first week of classes), try to make it.

[yrsdrgn]

I can try but most likely work will get me and since I'm the new guy it's hard to request days off.

[Kaotic Lazagna]

aww, that sucks. try get to know some of your co-workers, and then ask them to take your shift while you take their shift another day...

back to studying for me. i have an O-Chem test later today...not to mention daily quizzes.

[yrsdrgn]

Yea I'll try.

[Motorhead6T5]

On the sedan it drops ~ 2",I won't have people in the car very often. I think they shipped already,ill just try em out. If they suck I'll try somthing else.

[Kaotic Lazagna]

i always have people in my car. the S.Tech's are great. i think you'll be happy with them.

[Motorhead6T5]

Bump

[Kaotic Lazagna]

yeah, i'm not sure if this meet is going to happen anymore. i'm losing interest since not that many people actually want to go. but if you guys still want to, just let me know.

[Motorhead6T5]

yeah, i'm not sure if this meet is going to happen anymore. i'm losing interest since not that many people actually want to go. but if you guys still want to, just let me know.I will do a long distance trip if it gets more people together,maybe bay area people don't wanna make the drive???

[Kaotic Lazagna]

if that's the case, then there won't be much a meet, so i don't want to make you drive pretty far. we'll see.

[Kaotic Lazagna]

i also posted another car meet...not just for Yarii.

[Astroman]

I'm taking a trip just south of Fresno from WA and was looking to see if there were any Yaris meets along the way...

[Kaotic Lazagna]

depends when you're coming down here. i'm planning on making the meet, if there will still be one, on August 30.

[paradigm]

30th sounds cool to me

[Kaotic Lazagna]

cool, but i haven't heard anything from the other members, so i'm not sure if there's still going to be a meet...

[contraband831]

I am interested but a thursday just does not work for me? So have fun!

[AndyZ]

Hey everyone,

For you Nor Cal peeps looking for a reason to caravan and have a huge meet please check out my other thread here:

http://www.yarisworld.com/forums/showthread.php?p=116255#post116255

Thanks

[Kaotic Lazagna]

that's the day (19th) of my brother's birthday.

[Kaotic Lazagna]

anyway, i'm thinking about extending the invite to the SacForceFed forum. i'm actually attending one of their meets this coming Thursday (the 2nd). so when the 30th comes by, i'll let you know where their meet is going to be at.

note: their meets are 30+ cars every time.

[RedToyotaYaris]

If work and school permit i'll come along. If i dont make it I work in the same parking lot as the claim jumper at a hotel. Hit me up if you guys end up goin there and i dont make it for some reason.

[Motorhead6T5]

Bump????

[Kaotic Lazagna]
