Topic #58088 110 posts Started by 6gsillyca
Planning to have a meet or two this summer for us guys in Calgary (anyone is invited, from BC/USA)

Anyone interested?
whoop whoop
ill forward it =D

403
I'm definitely down for this. Hopefully WALKER and the other guys will make it as well.
We shoot get a photo shoot done as well with all the cars together, would be nice especially with 6gsillyca's car.
Does anyone have any suggestion of cruise destinations? Is anyone even up for a cruise?

Hopefully I can get my skirts put on before we meet up.
i'd be down for banff for sure
nothing too far though

i am down, i can bring my canon XTi. i just got a new 17-85mm IS lens. too bad i am not too great with it but it will be decent. my car should be lowered with rims by the end of this month.
Are you upgrading from an ES? I am looking for a beginner DSLR and the xti seems nice, but i've heard not so great things about the es lenses that are usually included.
Hey guys. I am definately in for the meet. It doesn't matter to me where we go.

i cant wait to see 6gsillycas projectors with proper cutoff. the turbos you guys are rocking are going to be sick also. i went from ef lenses to ef-s lenses. ef-s lenses are good besides the one that comes with the camera (18-55mm).if you dont like the new ef-s, the xti is fully backwards compatible. just multiply the mm by 1.6 and you are set.
Actually my projectors aren't "proper" cut-off. Because I didn't cut my "shield" to wrap around enough, there is a pach on the left side that is "un-cut" creating a blindspot, but other than that it is better than it was.

BTW congrats with the projector purchase David.

Hey thanks. The projectors I bought look really nice, just not sure when I am going to get around to installing them. For now they are sitting in the garage with the many other parts I have been collecting for the past couple years. Hopefully in the next little bit I will finally do a bunch of stuff to the car, just have been way to busy lately.

Anyways, when do you guys want to get together for a meet? I am busy for the rest of May, but my June is looking pretty free.

Sometime in June should be good for me aswell. I probably won't have my parts back from topgun for a week or so still...
So June is here. Who's up for a meet? I should be able to get my car put back together next week.
How about the 20th? I think all this rain bs is gonna stop by then so we should have good weather for a nice shoot.
The 21 would probably work better for most people, but I can't say forsure.

Where are all the 403 guys? No input on when/where?

Ya Saturday, June 21st should be good. I live in SE Calgary.

GT4WRC.COM
Me and dnyluong are in the NW (just down the street from me).

Do you guys just want to do some pics (maybe crecent heights) or something else (bbq/cruise/etc)
so i guess its just the 5 of us?
And yea 21st probably works better. Yea I'd say we can probably drive around the city a little bit, show of our 6gc pride, grab some food and take some nice pics at maybe crescent hill, sait parking lot or somewhere downtown maybe.

If it's this Saturday (June 21st) I am definately in!

GT4WRC.COM
yeah i'm in just give me a time, nothing too far though, we should just go eat somewhere or something lol

403
How does 11AM sound for time?

And for meeting place....any suggestions?

I was thinking either deerfoot mall or deerfoot medows, but if anyone else has an idea, please post up.


Probably looking like we will meet up, maybe go for lunch and then pics. Pic locations so far are SAIT p-lot, or crecent heights.
Heh, I'm going to be in Calgary on the 21st, but I'm there for the virgin music festival.
Hey Corey, David!

I'm out in Airdrie now (moved from the NW)... and I have to pick up my new rims and tires Saturday night, so my ride is a big piece of **** right now. I would love to get together w/ you guys though.

Also I think I'm having a wiring problem, I swapped out my battery for a new "Ultima" red top battery, but it doesn't seem to hold a charge. frown.gif

Where did you guys get your Projectors from? David, did you end up finding JDM tails too?

Jeremy, is there anything wrong with your current set of wheels? you should still try to make it, another 6gc would be nice, whether it's rockin steelies or 20" dubs.

Get your alternator checked. I don't think it would be your battery. I have a redtop aswell and it holds up just fine. You could even check it with a miltimeter. Should be 14.4V

My current tires are bald - and the entire car is an eye sore. I would be ashamed to take pics with your nice cars and have my junker in them... lol, UNLESS we take alot of "REAR" pics... tongue.gif Then I might be down... hahaha.

Is there anyway we could move the meet to Sunday? Hahaha - I would have my new rims on by then... smile.gif

Anyone have a Multimeter I could borrow - or a parts car I could tear the Alternator out of... (I thought it might have been my alternator, but thought it was too much of a coincidence because of the battery swap)

Dude - do you work at the Cineplex in Crowfoot? I always see your car up there...

I like curvacious rears. Rear pics are fine with me.

I have both sat/sunday free at ATM, but am planning to do something on the non meet day, so if everyone else can do sunday then it's fine with me.

I have a multimeter around somewhere. If you can bring your car, I can try and find my meter.
Put me down as "IN".

Corey - do you think I should get an alignment before I drive on the new rims? Know any place thats available on Sundays to do this?

saturday or sunday is good for me, but like corey, i'm trying to plan something for the off date, so yeah doesn't matter, just sucks my car won't be lowered by then, and i won't have my CF hood yet, next time though.
