Seriously? No one wants to get together before June? I'm visiting Iowa this weekend, but I'll be up on Woodward most Thursday and Saturday evenings as long as weather is cooperating.

What time does your "evening start"? 7 or 8?

I'm not going to Woodward until more parts come in. I can't stand rolling through stock.

Hi again everyone,

My name is Rob and I work for Toyota Technical Center in Ann Arbor, MI which is Toyota's North American R&D center. I am also part of a group that organizes an internal car show that we've had for the past few years.

For this year, we're looking into inviting some of the public to join us. The show will be on July 26th this year, participants would bring their car in for the show from 11:00am - 1:30pm, hangout, and get a chance to meet and with Toyota employees (including program chief engineers). Lunch will also be provided.

Please let me know if anybody is interested via PM.

Thanks!

Im not physically able to bring my sc300 out this year. So I'm working on it what little I can until the doctors release me to drive again, by the time that happens its put away for the winter so I'm out of any car meets this year except for Metro Cruise here in Grand Rapids the end of August. Ill be out there some way or another. Probably the sonic meets/ late night highway pulls which are always busy and a ton of cars there

I wish I would have checked this out earlier to plan for the show. Hmm....I might try to make a day trip out of it since I have the vacation time. I need to let Randy (Stephens) take my F for a spin with the headers anyway.

Yes it was but way to many crazy dumb junk offers. Now in the process of locating a tune shop to retune it.

I don't know any shops around Grand Rapids that tunes our cars good. But I know that you can rent dyno time if you can tune your self. Zzp and c-tech both have dynos.

Mine is put up for the winter. I plan to buy what I can during the winter and hopefully cruise by myself in the summer. Why by myself? Because no one will meet up. Oh well.
