well, funny thing, i swapped my trans yesterday. and it didnt fix the problem. i got a whole new trans and throw out and pilot and didnt fix s***. so idk, im about to just trade a guy locally for an s14. need a change anyways. had too many s13's and never owned an s14.

Just wondering how serious to take the bbq?

Knoxvillenismo- you gonna have time to get the S14 ready?

Bring whatever you want??
I don't cook very well, so I was thinking burgers and hot dogs.
But if your gonna throwdown like BobbyFlay bring out the ribs and chicken etc.


Also anyone interested in dinner at the Mountview Bistro??

Wallmart, good call.

Here's my planned route BTW. Anyone want to meet up? Leaving raleigh --> charlotte --> gastonia -->

I'm looking forward to this, it's coming up fast!

I'm working on getting my Y-pipe on right now and just got that damn cat off...what a job that was!! I'm also going to install my urethane motor mount as I finish the Y pipe after work tomorrow, can't wait!

Edit> I got the Y-pipe on, but it's horrible! I never imagined my car would be this much louder, it's just ridiculous. I like the performance gain for sure, but the noise is too much and it sounds like one of the older GM V6's (like a Beretta or Grand Prix) that had the obnoxiously loud mufflers.

I need something in between my stock setup and this.

Glad i got credit for creating the event! ...FAIL

Im glad Sil240, lonestar were able to take over so well.

See you guys there.

I won't get there till about 3..is that to late to catch u guys on TOTD saturday?..prolly wont bring the 240 as I still have a few minor kinks to work out..may bring the ls won

I'm definitely down with Wally world RAID!!!!! lol that will be fun. Tinted smoked and prepped Now I just need a wax on Friday And I'll be to see you all Saturday. I think it will be 4 or 5 cars total of us from Chattanooga riding in together.
I have still yet to hear back from 2 370 owners and 1 GTR owner Hope they can make it.
See ya all soon!!!

lol, i didnt know i had told anybody about the s14 yet.. nah its not ready and my s13 has officially bit it. needs an overhaul. luckily i got friday, saturday, AND sunday off!!! what time and who and where will anybody be arriving friday?

SpeedshifterNC- My # is up on the first page, call me when you get there.
We'll probably still at the BBQ / Car show / Swap meet

Chattcompdoc - Cool. See you out there.

Knoxvillenismo - I've been spying on you!!!! :-)

12 more hours till I hit the road!!!!!

Sil240 wrote:Knoxvillenismo - I've been spying on you!!!! :-)

well thats just down right creepy. lol

didn't see your # sil240..just pm me or call mine 8282284289

ok..didn't realize how long it would take me to get to deals gap from my house..looking like 3 hours..I was figuring an hour and a half..that puts me getting there 430 or 5 saturday evening..should I just forget it? You guys are meeting at deals gap to ride the dragon right? If thats not too late I'll be in a modded 98 Z28 6spd red w black top

one more question..would it be easier staying on 74 and hitting 129 coming from hickory or should I hit 28 north off 74

It depends where you are planning to go, but since you are joining up with us a little later in the day it would be best for you to come in on 28 to go right to the Dragon and Fontana, call before you get too far off of I-40 or you will lose your signal for good and then you won't know what the hell is going on!!

See you guys tomorrow. Leaving out between noon & 1.

I may try to work it out to where I can leave earlier..I'd really like to hit the TOTD with you guys and I know my girl would like to see all the hott rides

Ill be there Maybe in my new S14!

My biggest thought this morning while I'm having coffee and getting kids off to school. Is that we all make it safe to our meet.
and there are no set-backs for any of us to get there.Be safe drive smart and lets have fun-
See ya'll tomorrow for sure!!!!!

this meet was awesome. hung with the 240 crew till wee hours in the morning.epic win. huge thanks to the guys who let us room with them! it was hella tight to finally meet you guys. my car feels broken now that i got back to it and it doesnt have an rb tho. lol

Thanks for a great meet, my brother and I had a great time hitting the Hellbender and the Skyway on Saturday afternoon with you guys after the cookout and getting to hang with some of you.

We waited on the Dragon Saturday, it was nuts at that time of day and we appreciated the escort back to Robbinsville, we kept up as best we could with our "family sedans" LOL!!

Today my brother and I hit the Dragon at about 8:30 am after some breakfast and had a damn good time!! Very light traffic, no PoPo's, and no fog meant we hit it hard right away, down and back. We thought about doing another run but the traffic was already picking up and we decided to call it and go hit the Hellbender on the way out to 74 for the 5 1/2 hour trip back..it's good to live close by.

Thanks again for a great meet.

Tom (red Maxima) and Jay (grey Altima) shown above in the third pic.

It was a great time , I think the guys that had car issues even had a good time. How bout that "dragon"? Hey Tom I passed you as I was heading out Sunday morning. It was like "nico-row" on Cheoah rd. I think we occupied 5 of 8 cabins on that street, not to mention all the other cabins/lodge folks . For the first annual meet(thumbs up). I can see the second one bumping it up a notch. We'll have to start planning earlier, hats off to Sil (Brian) for getting all this together, and to Ricky...a true class act, your contributions did not go unnoticed. Thanks for a very nice meet, the weather aided in a big way for this success as well. Can't wait to see some pics/ vids .

had a good time taming the dragon in the Z28 and meeting some of you guys. Hopefully I can bring the 240 if we do this again and I can plan a little better for a meet afterwards I have a video and some pics but didn't know quite where to post them as Im new to the forum. Anybody that remembers me pm me and we'll catch up sometime
