[LagunaRoadster]

When: Saturday, January 24th, 2009, 11:00am
Where:
5055 Old Ellis Point
Roswell Ga 30076

Why: Why not?

Can you make it?
Any idea of where to meet or where to host tech at?
Suggestions, comments, etc?

[nickt93]

Count me in! Sounds like fun.

[Sawyer]

That will probably work for me!

[Jack-MX5ATLanta.com]

Sure I'll give this one an attempt at showing up. I need to have something to do this time though :D

[Grantri]

I do need to replace the rear shock mounts on the wife's car someday ..

[Doppelgänger]

tech day at Nicks house again? lol

[wonton]

im down! i got a set of frame rail i need to install!

[matredd]

I'll come and help out.

[nickt93]

I could possibly host. I live near Turner field, so it's a fairly central location, although I know a lot of you guys live north of town. I've got plenty of parking, and apparently the neighbors don't care if we're revving loud engines at 2am (I didn't get any complaints after the last time, but I don't want to press my luck!).

As far as my garage, I've got a decent tool assortment, an air compressor/air tools, two jacks/eight jack stands, and enough room for two cars.

[wonton]

we would have to start early so everybody who has somthing to do will have time to work on there cars! i got first dibs on one side of the garage :p i can bring some of my tools to!

[MeFryRice]

Yeah, less suspension installs this time. Those seem to take up the majority of the day.

Everyone should throw in money so we can order pizza or something.

[wonton]

very very good idea! if Eric come he wont have to worry bout getting a headache!

[RotorNutFD3S]

Kiss my *** Sean. :lol:

I'm down. Nick, you may have started something big without knowing it. :D

Hmm... 2 weeks, I wonder if there will be a red boosted NA in attendance by then...

[Sawyer]

Hmm... 2 weeks, I wonder if there will be a red boosted NA in attendance by then...

Oh Oh Oh! Really??

[Jack-MX5ATLanta.com]

Me too. We got any new boosted red miata's joined the board? :D

[wonton]

Kiss my *** Sean. :lol:

I'm down. Nick, you may have started something big without knowing it. :D

:p ahahah! i was just playin man! that and being serious! i just want you to be able to have a good time without a headache!

[RotorNutFD3S]

Me too. We got any new boosted red miata's joined the board? :D

Maybe... :lol:
I'm waiting on the machine shop to get done with the block, should be this Saturday, and waiting on Ben's dad to do the rear gear swap, that's the two big things I'm waiting on.

I hear ya Sean, it would be nice to never have that happen again!

[nickt93]

I can't wait to see the red beast in action! Let me know what help you need with the build Eric.

Wellllll....if we don't find a better location (anybody have access to a garage with a lift?!?) we can probably meet up over here. Let's see what else comes available!

[Doppelgänger]

Calling Ben..........again........ lol

Nick, I wasn't intending to dump the meet in your lap, I was more or less referencing to the impromptu meet after the last meet.

[LagunaRoadster]

sounds like this is going to go very well. I went ahead and changed the start time, so we can get early. throwing in for pizza sounds like an excellent idea as well.

[wildfire0310]

Hmm... 2 weeks, I wonder if there will be a red boosted NA in attendance by then...

Why do I having a feeling....NOOO. :biggrin::biggrin::biggrin: That or there is going to be few tired people there with a boosted miata:biggrin:

[Georgia Cracker]

If we don't go out of town that weekend I'll be there to help. I suspect Alec will come, too, if he does not have to work. I don't have anything to install this time so I will not hog any space.

[jester911]

I may try to make it as well.

[RotorNutFD3S]

I just got notified I wasn't going to be able to make this one. Forgot about a birthday party that day...

[nickt93]

Calling Ben..........again........ lol

Nick, I wasn't intending to dump the meet in your lap, I was more or less referencing to the impromptu meet after the last meet.

Not at all, Mike! I was planning to offer up my place before you even said anything. Bring it!

[LagunaRoadster]

anyone apposed to moving this to the 23rd??

[wonton]

nope! that would probably work better, Eric said that he cant make it for the 17.

[LagunaRoadster]

I'm doin it. ima change it.

[Doppelgänger]

Not at all, Mike! I was planning to offer up my place before you even said anything. Bring it!

whew!

I'll bring the helicopter!!
Oh wait, we might be going to Daytona for the 24hr race....... argh.

[RotorNutFD3S]

Well, we're going to need your expertise on a certain critical component Mike, in order to avoid ruining the surprise, I won't say on what.

[Doppelgänger]

PPF installation? :lol:
Need my small hands to get to rear shock mounts?

[RotorNutFD3S]

:lol:

No, just trust me, we're going to need your help. :D

[Doppelgänger]

ok ok

[Synthmob]

anyone apposed to moving this to the 23rd??

You mean the 24th right?

[Flash13783]

I'll be able to come the 24th. I work on fridays...
but it would be cool to meet everyone!

[MeFryRice]

LB and I will be in Daytona the weekend of the 24th.

Stephen, I can meet before hand to pick up the short throw if you have time.

[LagunaRoadster]

lol, ya the 24th, whatever saturday is that weekend.

whatever works for you, MeFryRice. I work during the week, but weekends I am free, just let me know...

[belvnmx5]

Yeah, less suspension installs this time. Those seem to take up the majority of the day.

Aww man...I have springs and sways...is that too much?

[wonton]

no he was just saying the last time we did a tech meet we had like 5 diff miatas doing suspension!

[ben91]

no he was just saying the last time we did a tech meet we had like 5 diff miatas doing suspension!
Yeah but now we can do a car in like an hour! :lol:

[wonton]

haha yeah! anybody up for beating that record time! :biggrin:

[Doppelgänger]

Well, I have another possible location if we need it.
It's a shop up in the Roswell area (about 1mi from the Ferrari dealership)....or about 10min up 400 from 285 for the rest of you. It has air, tools, 2 lifts, ample parking and any other supplies that we would need....and a good test road for whatever reason may be needed :lol:

[JennB]

And a very knowledgeable owner who can help out with anything needed.

[matredd]

that's awesome. too bad i'll be in south carolina...

[ls1_miata]

Would like to make it but I'll be working for Pirelli down at the 24hrs of Daytona.

[Jack-MX5ATLanta.com]

Oh poor you! :lol:

Well I can't make it because I'm kicking it at the playboy mansion with Heff... :naughty:

[Atlanta93LE]

I've met several people here, and would love to meet a few more. I'll try to make it, and have a set of frame rails to install if there is time.

[RotorNutFD3S]

Screw the meet, I'm going with Jack!

[MeFryRice]

Would like to make it but I'll be working for Pirelli down at the 24hrs of Daytona.

LB and I will make sure to stop by and say heyllo then!

[wonton]

Oh poor you! :lol:

Well I can't make it because I'm kicking it at the playboy mansion with Heff... :naughty:

FOR REAL? :biggrin:

[Doppelgänger]

Vote on location?

we have Nick's place right near downtown

or

shop up in Roswell

[nickt93]

If we can get access to a shop with lifts we would be crazy not to take it! I would vote for that, but am still more than happy to have everyone over to my place.

[Atlanta93LE]

Lifts would be a huge bonus. My insignificant vote goes for Roswell.

[RotorNutFD3S]

I'm thinking the lift location would be most beneficial. May use it to change the oil on the van. :lol:

[Doppelgänger]

alrighty, Roswell location it is....
the address is

5055 Old Ellis Point
Roswell Ga 30076

When you put in into googlemaps, it'll show you all the shops in the complex, the name of my friends shop is AutoFAB Motorsports and when it shows you the map, his shop is EXACTLY where the little bullet is on the sa. photo.

like so....

Wait AutoFab as in Thomas's shop??? When did they move locations???

[JennB]

A couple of months ago.


So this is definitely on the 24th? If so, then we're not going to the Rolex :( and I'll probably head up to Chicago that week.

[RotorNutFD3S]

You know, it sounds like a lot of people are busy during most of the month, and especially on the 24th. We have one more day left to choose from, Saturday the 31st, just in case we want maximum attendance.

[Sawyer]

Yeah, I thought you guys were coming with us! :cry:

[matredd]

The 31st would be better for me personally.

[jester911]

The Roswell location is way closer to me and it is around the corner from my office. I will try to come by.

[MeFryRice]

You have to come!

[LagunaRoadster]

changing location to: 5055 Old Ellis Point
Roswell Ga 30076

anyone apposed to changing the date to the 31st?

[wonton]

im cool with it!

[Sawyer]

31st works much better for us!

[Doppelgänger]

31st will be fine

[wonton]

this adress! is it a shop, house/garage? im just curious!

[RotorNutFD3S]

It's the shop up in Roswell Sean.

31st works fine for me!

[JennB]

Sweet. We're going to the Rolex 24 and I get to go to Chicago. This should work out much better.

[LagunaRoadster]

i'm making a whole new thread. close this one please.
