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.

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 **** up like the little ***** she is

I'm down for a meet. My ******* car has been sitting for weeks now. 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.

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

Members:

FRT_Fun: April+ - NY
miatamike203: April+ - CT
miataspeed2005: April+ - CT
Vashthestampede: April+ - CT
240_to_Miata: April+ - CT
Cspence: April+ - CT
astroboy: March+ - CT

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.

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 . 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

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?
