I'd be in for a meet. Went to a clubprotege one at Kent Falls a couple years back when I still had my EGT and it was good times.

I will go to one if it's within 4-5 hours from me.

I've seen a couple of parts cars in CL recently, one was in Norwalk I belive.

Are you connecticans all centeral state? I am over almost on the ri. boarder.

Live on the eastern shore (old saybrook), but go to school in storrs , so i have an apt in Tolland (Upper east corner)

Tolland? I live rite by Willimantic.

I'm in New haven now, last year I was in Branford and the year before that I was in Milford.

So spring is around the corner. We getting something going or what??? My Miata is now in NY so I'm motivated!

I hope, my car is nearing completion (well completion for now until my pockets fill back up :giggle:)

I am in for a meet, my front end is getting repainted and I am collecting all necessary pieces to re-do my turbo setup. Should be all set by the middle of march.

Okay so lets get a general idea when everyone will have their cars back together and would be willing to have a meet. My car is ready to go so I'm in for anytime but closer to April/May would work best for me.

chiming from stamford Ct my car wont be back till april ish time need to do a new full build once agian with new turbo.

I say apr/may as well. My bumper is being shipped now since mine it's broken my new IC will be ordered next week, tie up a few loose ends, paint the hard top and bumper maybe the whole car and I'm ready to rock. Maybe we could make a dyno day? A meet and drinks? What ever it is I'm ready to beat this slut up like the little whore she is

I'm down for a meet. My fucking car has been sitting for weeks now. :vash: I plan on getting everything I need to get it back on the road by April/May, so I should be able to make it.

Its like I take 5 steps forward, and go 10 steps backwards right after.

I need to address a couple issues around the car before its road worthy. Mainly the manifold-exhaust issues. I also broke the driver side window regulator, so I need to get one and fix that. And the dvd player needs some permanent brackets made to hold it. I have it held in place with electrical tape pillows. lol

It'll be cool to have a good sized meet and check out all the cars. Last time I saw Nick was years ago, and back then it was just him, Jason rain, and I. Not to mention our cars are completely different than they were back then. :bigtu:

Alright well as people chime in I will post up who is down to go and when they think they will be ready.

I'm okay with doing just about anything. I've never dyno'd my car before so I might be interested in that. Maybe a cruise to somewhere for pictures. Food at some point of course. Also if anyone within a couple hours of me needs an extra hand on the weekends let me know. I have tools, and also like I said before I have a 450sq/ft storage unit (no heat/power yet though). EDIT - NO HOMO for good measure.

april / may. I need to pull the motor back out and replace shitty gaskets that keep leaking.
Just need warm weather and $$
After that I should be good to go.

I'm down for Apr/May...I probably won't have rubber on my car for a few weeks. Who am I kidding, I cant wait that long :giggle:. I'd be down for a meet and greet / Drinks / photoshoot / beat on the car session. I'm weary of going to the dyno though since I'd probably be disappointed with what I put down....ingnorance is bliss :giggle:

dont get me wrong. I am down for a meet sooner than april/ may...

I will just be in my dyke wagon (aka my 98 subaru outback sport winter beater).

I am up for getting together for some drinks or w/e.
EDIT: NO HOMO lol

Another thing we need to think about is a semi-centralized location for the meet. I'm new to the area, so some of the guys who have grown up/lived in the area awhile throw out some possible places.

Seems like everyone but me is from CT so far...

Put me on the meet list also, around the middle of march I should be good to go...should be tuned by the end of march and then will stop peg-legging it around may (hopefully earlier). Hey Vash, what color is your car?

OK... lets get a centralized list going then of where you are from (town / region )

240_to_miata ( Usually Tolland (NE Corner), CT ...otherwise Old Saybrook, CT. Eastern shore)

FRT_Fun (Watertown, NY area, since I'm far West/North I'm willing to go a bit further :D )

I'm making a map on google maps with points where everyone is so we can get a visual.

http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?hl=en...7,8.453979&z=8

Holy shit you are out there! I am near willimantic.

Mariner blue. At night it looks like a completely different color though.

I tried adding myself on that map but didn't see a way to do so. I'm in Danbury, CT if you want to add me.

x2 I'm in Meriden CT 06450

Map Updated.

Where ever we pick needs to be close to a good photo shoot place! Any of you guys dabble in photography?

That map is pretty cool. It'd be neat to have one with all the users on MT

240sxone did that. it was pretty cool.

Wish I knew how to make it so you guys update it yourself, I'll see look into it.

EDIT: Okay in the future you can add your own locations. Also if you want to edit in a possible location go for it.

Hey astroboy... Ill send you a PM next time I am in the willi area. You should come to willi brew next time me and a few of the guys from the uconn car club head down.

Rite on, I live 10 minutes from there. So would something on the NY/CT border be a reach?

I'm in New Haven on Morris Cove by the light house

I think something on the middle of the state would be ideal or a place where we could take a nice cruise... I personally like taking rt1 all the way up to like old saybrooke

During the summer I usually go on my own run along the CT river every week. I head through the back roads of Durham, pop out and drive along the CT river, pass by the good speed opera house, hit up gillets castle / devils hopyard, and then head back up along the other side of the river towards Portland / Glastonbury. Tons of good, lightly traveled roads all along the route and is probably 50-60 miles ~ 1-1.5 hrs of drive time (Depending on speed ;))

One place I wouldn't mind hitting up would be rt 7 towards kent / limerock. You could easily spend a day rippin around and hit a few spots (Kent falls, Limerock, Lake waramog) Its kind of out of the way for most of us, but it'd be fun

That sounds a lot like my route. I live in Old Saybrook durring the summer so I usually hop over the river, go down back roads in lyme, east hadam and swing over by the opera house.

I took the miata out for a 2 mile drive the other day only to find out that the front left caliper is SEIZED completely.

And you made it 2 miles before you realized this....lol

If we can narrow down an area we can all kinda brainstorm on a route...

The car has been sitting for a while. It wasnt a big surprise that the brakes stuck when i moved out of the space. I realized almost instantly. Whenever I let off the gas it pulled to the left... not to mention the smell. . . but hey I wanted to get to BIG Y.

I felt the hub when i got there and it was cooking.

Anyway : on topic- I will be getting my car on the road in the next month. I am willing to travel to most places in ct (whether or not my car wants to cooperate is a different story)

Yeah I don't mind driving either as long as it's worth it, I really can't wait to be spring so we could finally make a meet. We could do a once a month meet too.

Cruise close to the border! I wouldnt mind driver 3-4 hours to meet up.

What border....I know your not talkin about the Canadian border :giggle:

I really hope you are referring to ct/ny border vs united states/canada border.

Ahhh ya i would be lmao...dammit! FFS i wana go for a cruise but everyone on this dam forum is 20+ hours away :vash:

Do you even get good cruisin weather all the way up there? :giggle:

Umm i take my car out in late april beginning of may until about mid october...last year was terrible rained pretty much 3-4 days a week. Im hoping for a better summer this year. But if theres a big cruise going on who knows il take a vacation from work go on a road trip for a week lol. Ive always wanted to, just better bring some oil to do some oil changes on the side of the road. :giggle:

I always wanted to go to Canada but I don't think I would go in the miata tho and for vacations I like to migrate south where I can be warmer.
Guys I'm not gonna lie I'm pretty siked to see all the turbo miatas in CT.

You guys have me jealous =[ are there any Queens/Nassau people around here?

Yeah man same here! :bigtu:

I just hope I have my car together in time. :vash: I really need to post a WTB ad for a window regulator and get my test pipe situation figured out.

Sounds like the general consensus is April. Does anybody have any timeframe in April that they can't do this? My lack of a tax return is killing me rite now. That first time homebuyer thing looks so great but takes forever for them to pay up!

ill be busy the weekend of april 10th running the uconn car show (you all better be there).

Hopefully the miata will be going by then.

Aug, Ct isn't that far from queens! So do we want to all meet at the uconn car show or will that be an extra event?

I'll go to the uconn car show and meet too. The car show is early April and we could have the meet early may? Oh shit we're in march alredy, I don't think my car will be painted by April 10th, but I'll rock the white top and broken bumper

Just get a stock bumper...or if you have the part that broke off zip tie it back on. Also some flat black would do wonders for that top!

I think in May I have training down South :/ Late April???

Shit CT is only 8 hours away from me :D, im down if theres a meet.

Do it!!!!!

Okay so I think these are the dates we have to work with:

April 24 - 25

May 1 - 2

May 8 - 9

May 15 - 16

That is 4 weekends to work with. Unless we want to push it further back or forward. I have Saturday + Sunday listed but it doesn't have to be 2 days. Personally I'd like to do it on a Saturday. I can drive out Friday, sleep in a hotel, have all Saturday and depending on how I feel drive back Saturday night or Sunday.

I have a new bumper already I just have to install it and paint it, but first I gotta re-do my IC

Thats gangsta right thur....


April 24th / 25th is out for me....going to Niagara Falls. Any other date is open though.

I will most definitely be there on the 10th (seeing how it is 20 minutes from me) and any other time I am game for. Personally I like Saturdays best.
