Should we go back to the old standby i.e. Red Robin?

 

lol yea i guess

 

I will be lil late with my bro friday, its my dads 50th bday.

 

Hey guys, saw a silver X at crown point planet fitness tonight, this is the second time ive seen it, parked next to my camry, anyone on here?

 

he is on importsnc forums, i met him about 2 weeks ago.

 

so at red robin???

 

oh **** guys. I spotted greg! He posted in this thread!!

lol where you been g?

Tim - yes, red robin. what time?

 

I vote 8:00pm but that might be a little late for some of you guys.

Gotta help the wife put the kids to bed, yeah.

 

8:00

 

Couple of things:

8:00pm for me and Tim at least at Red Robin if we agree on that, but if anyone wants to get there a half hour early and grab a table or at least a pager from the hostess that would help.

Todd and Brad of MotionLab Tuning are planning on attending, as some of you know they've been working on my Evo due to the clutch issue, and from what I can tell they are a great shop. They specialize in Evo/STI's and I plan on using them for any Evo related work in the future, like my timing belt change at 60k, etc.

Finally, Charlotte has one weekly meet as some of you know, it's off of I-85 and Harris Blvd, the parking lot is owned by Bikinis and Cheddars and they have given permission. Supposedly the turnout is fairly huge, and thankfully there are not too many ricers, although some always show up, can't be helped.

Here are few quote from the last Friday night meet (12/4):

 

See you guys at 8.

I've been to this thing 3 times since they've had the meets there. Dont be fooled. It's still a majority population of ricers. There's a couple STi's I've seen before, but you still have the civics and trucks scraping the ground. Same old meets. They're not bad if you go with some people. Matt and I rolled up there together once.

 

So who's coming this Friday? 8pm at Red Robins, then a possible drive up to the weekly import meet.

Weather is looking good for Friday, 0% rain, temps in the low 40s.

So far I think we have:

1. Tim (dsm25psi)
2. Billy (funkmaztafox)
3. Steve (sleeper3)
4. Todd of MotionLab Tuning
5. Brad of MotionLab Tuning
6.
7.
8.
9.
10.


Here's a map to Red Robins, very easy access off I-485:

I have to drop a quick line on Motion Lab Tuning.

As some of you may have heard, the Competition Clutch components in my Evo IX failed last week, I was shifting from 1st at redline into 2nd and the pedal stayed stuck to the floor. Turns out I had early production pieces that were defective, specifically the pressure plate and clip/bearing pieces. CC sent out replacement parts at no charge, and Motion Lab Tuning did the labor to swap out the pieces. So fwiw, these guys definitely know how to swap out transmission components if anyone needs help with that.

I will be using these guys again in the future, they did a good job swapping the components, and the car drives/shifts better than before (he hooked me up with Royal Purple fluid). I also got a good price on new spark plugs that were long overdue, and the car runs a bit stronger, I think my factory originals were pretty fouled up.

Anyway, the owner Todd and his tech Brad will probably make it to the Red Robin meet this Friday. They do tune the crap out of Evo's and STI's so at least in my good we have a great resource here in Charlotte. Also, they're tuning Tim's 700-800hp beast, so Tim will probably have some things to say about them.
