who did that anyways oh well you never know who's passing by. btw if you guys wanna go for the drive part of the meet you are more than welcome to tag along.more info's about the meet here: http://www.norcalevo.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=256&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0

well at first I was reluctant to inviting alot of folks just to give them the exclusive "EVO" meet. But I read along and decided to go along with their decision.

I got hurt when the better half of the organizer mrs.solo said qoute : Aheemm.. I own and was planning on bringing my WRX to this meet thinking it was a gathering to touch base with our fellow car enthusiasts. Considering we're bringing so much business to you why would this be a problem? Unless there is a specific reason as to why you would want Evo owners there only.. If it's a food thing, well then maybe people can bring whatever they want BBQ'd. Could you be more specific as to why you wouldn't want so many people showing up?

end qoute...



OH ! that hurts :(

They do not believe that the i-club folks come in big numbers and it may just be a Subaru BBQ with a few evo's like one said..

either way I am there grillin...

Can I get some details like $$, etc. My neighbor with a blue Evo is going...I think I will join...thanks.

no cost bro... Just show up hungry and willing..lol

got rice cooker?

I'm sorry, i didn't mean to offend anyone. I just recently met some cool people at the Great Mall (Redbull event) and didn't want anyone to feel "excluded". Especially after my better half had already invited people from there.
On a side note i'm really looking forward to meeting everyone and hearing what they've done to their cars. :banana:

iwill be there, but only cause my wrx will still be on the lift probably hahahahaha

j/k ill show up cause i cant get enought of those *******s at mpj/gb ;)

(gino maybe i can stop and grab some lumpias for you this time)

lumpias?

Anyone in the South Bay want to caravan up to the BBQ? I will most likely head up regardless. Need to make the most of my WRX before it goes bye bye.

show up @ the starbucks @ mccarthy ranch 11am. :D

mrs. solo

:D

It is all good... I was just concerned and really looking out for the norcalevo guys to have it exclusive, I dunno if you remember that I was one of the original guys that stayed with the norcalevo forum on the very first days it was introduced and marketed it to a few DSM folks and Honda folks that are going the Lan Evo direction as we meet folks here at the shop.

I was just shocked at your comment about how much buisness you are giving us when there is non to date and we do not expect to have any either, just want a good time and provide you norcalevo folks a facility to camp in.

We have been in this arena for 22 years (we were the import scene before SCC and other magazines popped out)and just happen to change names. So same folks visit and a few added. ;)...we are the cheapest labor and parts and honest people around to date !!!

I hope to meet you all in person and continue a good relation.

Now what is the menu for the day ? BBQ and lots of it :D....


gino


edited for spelling... :D

see you there uncle gino!!! aye i was just wondering is there gonna be lumpia????

jeremy

I think andre was gonna bring some. I may eat all of it :D...

bring more if u can! the more the better!

We'll bring some lumpia for sure .( Silvrwrx - Jeremy ) and I (John, NO NOT MIKE'S JOHN I SWEAR!).

See u guys there.

I will buy stuff from Cosco like chicken wings and whatever I see that will go good with the Bannana ketchup... yummmmmm !!! and of course my special blends...lol...


have fun

gino

I wanna try and show up. I'm going to try and get this co-worker to come along that has an Evo, also. I want to see your place, too. I've been to Bozz, Vishnu, and Gruppe-S, but never to your place.

I think this is going to be like 10 EVO's and about 50 Subaru's :D

qoute:

Hey guys,

I'm new to the forum, i own a wrx but by hubby (who is planning the meet with GBmotorsports, owns an EVO). At our last meet there were 30 EVO's total that showed. This meet there will most likely be between 30-40 since we have people from Sacramento driving down. There still may not be as many EVO's as there are WRX's that show, but hopefully close. This will definitely be a fun gathering for sure :)

http://www.norcalevo.net/gallery/albums/album29/052_G.jpg

ok... there will be next to nothing for parking... wow

-Gagan

I am the person doing the organizing the Evo meet with Gino - and my wife dealt Gino a grievous emotional blow. Sorry about that, Gino. ;)

We are expecting about 40 Evos total, but now looking the activity on i-Club, I think we might be overwhelmed by the WRX guys. As long as Gino and Mike have enough food, all should be well.

I was hoping one or two of you guys might be able to help my wife and myself out. We are trying to weigh our options on an ECU reflash for her WRX so we were trying to decide between the Cobb Access reflash or the reflash that Shiv@Vishnu is offering. If anyone on here has either, we were hoping you could show up and give my wife and I a quick ride around the block.

Thanks in advance to anyone who decides to be generous and see you all on the 28th.

I have the i-speed reflash on my car with a VF-34 on my car, I am very happy with it. I'd be more then happy to give you a ride around the block.

-Zoeb

I'd be more then happy to give you a ride around the block.
DON'T DO IT! Hahaha. BTW I think you should go UTEC. I don't know anything about how it works, but Mike and Andrew made my car go vroom vroom.

josh

I checked out the Utec a couple times (still waiting for TurboXS to release it to the Evo world). This is probably too much for my wife right now. She just wants a bit more and to increase her low end power.

Thanks for the offer on the ride. Please promise not to kill us (maiming is okay, though).

I checked out the I-Speed reflash, but I felt a bit confused reading their web site. I am not sure what kind of gains they were seeing on a stock WRX. I also checked out the price which looks like 650$ plus 90$/hour to tune. Ouch.

The base Cobb tune is about 400$ plus additional costs for shipping, which for a baseline flash seems pretty reasonable to me.

There's also the Cobb Accessport ($550 or so) which alows you to reflash your car to any of their stages. And you don't have to ship your ECU. It comes out next week.

Who is planning to meet there? I am down for heading up with you guys.

jan

Nothing like a local tuner that has all the tools here local to tune with and not far away.

Test drive ? All of these folks will be more than happy to give both of you a ride around the bock.... FYI our WRX is in the 12's with UTEC... and the extra maps you can use for low boost and lower octane gas usage. Like saving money on a daily drive thing...etc.. I can explain more when you get here..

see you soon

.

The $650 INCLUDES 2 hours of tuning.

hey jan just switch cars so its an even testdrive ;) reflashed wrx and a reflashed evo.

Well I would not mind checking out the options for the wife's car. I am pretty open minded to the options out there, but I just want to make sure we get something with good results and a nice and flat dyno curve - peak numbers are not a priority at all.

bump

and go for the shiv reflash, shiv knows his ish better then anyone else as fasr as efi tuning goes. Plus he is local and well a cool guy.

But what do i know i am a shiv fan boi!

I would put my money on Shiv with your needs. No need to be too agressive on tuning and "LOCAL" tuners always give support in a timely manner.

;)

gino

ya cause if they dont u can park your car at their shop for a month or so :) hahaha

Yeah, i actually talked to Shiv briefly at the last dyno day/Evo meet we had at his shop last month. He'll be at this meet from what i hear so i can talk to him more then. Thanks for all the advice :)

bump

This sounds like fun...I should be there with my stock wrx :p

sux....i have to go to san jose state to take an EPT test for college at 7 am!!! stupid school...

haha, he said saturday school

420 SAT verbal baby! i think because i put my ethnicity as Chinese they think im a FOB...

woah, the meet was crazy. tons of cars. pics will be posted later.

yep i had alot of fun. Im glad i went on the drive and got in the first group of cars (was like 5 of us) because we went at a pretty good pace. Evo stock suspension vs hks hipermax 2 coilovers is no match though :D hahah jk. But yea that was a great turnout at mpj. There were a ton of evo's, i think they even outnumbered the wrx's. I would like to thank mpj for putting this meet on and Jansolo and the evo guys for involving us in this meet.

Also Mrs. solo did you get the uppipe or rear sway bar on your car? Those two mods are a great starting point and will change the way the car feels alot.

They came they ate and they left :D....


darn subies ate all the food LOL....... we are still grillin :D someone got some more meat hehehehehe !!!

Def. a great meet! I took ~70 pictures :p I had a good time though, and picked up the helix up/dp & Borla Hush...good stuff. Thanks Gino!

Justin

That was cool to see all those cars. I like the Evo's personally. I'm going to take a look at the pictures and video I took. Hopefully, the out of car video worked while we were driving. I haven't really looked at it yet.

PICSPICSPICS
PLEASE!!

crap dwn i just now saw your post for a ride :(

sorry man if i would have known i u could have come with mah buddies (rob krause came with as well as chris turner)

Holy $hit you took "red" Turner with you did he have to take a **** over there?
Did he take the stang
Well to lil to late thnx anyhooo

lets get one for the subies now.

hmmm, and when i left that was the first time ive ever been passed by a 350z on the shoulder.....wtf was that??

heard on NorCalEvo that the cops rolled up at the end of the day and were poping hoods and threatening to pull licences!:eek:

All because they had a multiple complaints about a "red lancer" blowing up and down Winton like a maniac. I aint naming names, but...:rolleyes:

nice turnout though, probably 50+ cars:)

Yup, the cops said that the one thing that saved the EVO owners from getting their cars towed due to their illegal mods was the fact that we were on private property. Plus they had no proof that it was any of the EVO's that were in the parking lot to begin with in regards to whom ever was "racing". It was lame, hopefully everything is cool. And seriously there were 5 police cars that showed up total at one point. Do Hayward cops have nothing better to do?
Other than that it was a great meet, I appreciate the offer given to myself and my hubby by Dan's buddy with the ispeed flash. I apologize I forgot your name, and forgot to take you up on the offer later in the afternoon after the raffle dangit :(
I did get my up pipe installed and do feel a little bit of a difference, it's very cool.. yay my first mod :)

In the future I would really appreciate if everyone would at least be safe and not do anything crazy. I just got my behind chewed out by HPD on the phone and "Do not blame it all on the red car".

Meets are cool, but as a shop owner " I worry about the safety of everyone and let us just be more considerate in the future.

I was not aware of cars racing up and down Winton, my appologies to HPD.

Thank you

Gino

thx for hosting gino/mike :D

That bites... I hope this doesnt mean continued harrassment by the PD :(

Sorry about the hassle for you, Gino. I tried to be fair and nice as possible to the cops so they wouldn't bother you at all. We want to be able to come back here again, so we want things with you and the local PD to be smooth. There was no literal racing going on, but I know some people were driving fast up and down the street.

Anyhow, thanks again to Gino and Mike for having us all.

I hope the Evo folks enjoyed all the give awayitems we donated for the raffle ;)... see you all soon.

That was a great meet. Kool folks from Norcal Evo. Lots of badda$$ EVO8's.
'twas a cool drive too. First time for me in my suby. I was right behind soundwave and in front of a white STI, BTW sweet white STI.
Nice talking to mr and mrs jansolo too. I suggest you guys get the the greddy front lip for the missus' wrx coz it'll be cheaper.
