PWR Meet?

[inhumane]

possibility of a summer meet of sorts? i know wwe are all scattered over but maybe a bc/alberta meet? meet halfway or something

jus throwin it out there?

[mcfly]

If we tripled our member base before summer this might work :p

[inhumane]

haha i suppose so

invite friends ppl! lol

[DarkCaporaL]

You guys are too far.

[DrMango]

It wouldn't be hard to have a meet half way. A few of you are in Kamloops/kelowna area right? Would love to head down to salmon arm to visit some friends there anyways. I could easily meet anywhere in one of those 3 cities

Kyle

[Snow]

I'd consider something...

[inhumane]

well say we got like another 25 members by May or June..i think we could do it

lets start throwing out some central locations

inbetween vancouver and say calgary would be kelowna?

i like the idea of kelowna in the summertime, lotsa chicks on tha beachhhh

[DrMango]

I'm happy with Kelowna but we have to wait till we can get more votes. I just want to rip through rogers pass on the way back ;)

Kyle

[inhumane]

yea for sure its still only january, time is on our hands lol

[mcfly]

start inviting the people you know or even have on msn then

[Snow]

Kelowna. Osoyoos. Penticton. All good spots for sure...

[mcfly]

can i ride my bike?

[inhumane]

can i ride my trike?

[DarkCaporaL]

can i ride my bike?

As long as its powered by an RB. :p

[mcfly]

As long as its powered by an RB. :p

I still this it should be "a"

[DrMango]

I still this it should be "a"

Engrish?

Kyle

[mcfly]

I still think it should be "a" rb

[DrMango]

:D we don't correct others unless we are correct to start with lol

Kyle

[j-ran]

I still think it should be "a" rb

No! You are incorrect

[Rapier46]

im gonna to be driving to cali this summer. lets meet there. if you bitch out you suck.

[mcfly]

No! You are incorrect
yes i agree for once.
i rest my case. I just read 8 pages on the proper use of an/a and the.

You don't know the half of it.

[DrMango]

HAH if I read that much I try to dig my eyes out. Thats why I'm so learned

Kyle

[rb-racer]

DrMango, if my eyes are correct your engine is in grave danger with the injectors wide open like that.

[Snow]

^^^^ Hahaha I never noticed his duty percentage. At 7700rpm no less. Time for an upgrade I think.

[DarkCaporaL]

DrMango, if my eyes are correct your engine is in grave danger with the injectors wide open like that.

^^^^ Hahaha I never noticed his duty percentage. At 7700rpm no less. Time for an upgrade I think.

Actually, that's an Apexi AVC-R, and depending on how it's connected, that might not even been the actual injector duty.

If I remember off the top of my head, you can either have it connected for "Injector Duty" or "RPM" wiring. If you connect it off the injectors, then you cant use the RPM based boost function of the AVC-R. If you have it connected off the RPM, then you can't keep an eye on your injector duty.

Its basically one or the other, but the controller will still let you monitor injector duty, even though its given out wrong data and irrelevant.

I paid more attention to the 393 km/h then the 99.3% injector duty. :p

[bobbo]

If there is one in Kelowna (Van and Victoria too) I'll be there but on my feet. Commin' out to do some visiting. Be cool to actually put some faces to some names.
Unlike a number of people here I'm not anti GTRC yet but there is a thread about a meet in either Ottawa or Montreal. TOOO far for you west coast boys I know.

[DrMango]

DrMango, if my eyes are correct your engine is in grave danger with the injectors wide open like that.

Its a funny picture and I knew this would come up, but I figured like Dark would that people would notice the 393KM/H first lol.
DarkCorporaL is a smart dude and has it figured out. He is right in that I chose to use the RPM based function over the injector duty when installing my AVCR. If I now choose the injector duty to be displayed then it actually shows it inacurately in reverse. So at 99.3% they would barely be in use at idle. At 0% they would be maxed. Either way its wrong.
A friend and I were ripping back to my house on the highway and I was beating his GTSt like always when I noticed my speed was at 390+KM/H so I had the GF take a picture when we got home. The reason for the 390+ speed was that before I had my ECU tuned and the limiters removed I had installed a switch for a speed limiter cut. I know the problems and that crap and don't use it anymore but when its turned on(which it must have been at the time)It messes up your speed signal from the ECU. Just one more reason not to mess with wire #53

Kyle

[mcfly]

Yeah, I would hardwire it back ;)

[DrMango]

It is now because I was tired of the switch in the glovebox and the extra wire to the ecu. Its also about to be changed to Injector duty instead of RPM

Kyle

[DrMango]

If we have a meet we would have to have the meet sometime late afternoon with the long drives people would have. How long of a drive to Kelowna from Vancouver? Im a solid 7 hours to salmon arm, which is where I'll be spending the night.

Kyle

[inhumane]

well for some we may have to stay a night and do a bit of night driving, i have friends in penticton and family in kelowna so i may end up staying a few extra nights

im about 4.5 hours to kelowna

[DrMango]

Yeah I'll likely crash in a hotel or camp if its warm enough out then hang out with friends the next day in SA. I don't want to leave at 6am to get there early afternoon then get home at 11 or 12.

That being said I'm happy to spend the night and still excited for a meet

Kyle

[inhumane]

Ye i see what you mean there, once we get more interest we'll start throwing around dates...let say we would need about 15-20 of us to be worth wile?

[Snow]

We don't even have that many people ACTIVELY posting on the boards. It's a select few of us ahaha. Lets grow first.

Even SkyMeet only consisted of like 20-30 Skylines... if that.

[inhumane]

well in 6 months i think we could have quite a few more people on here and interested, the majority of us are in western canada

[inhumane]

im gonna be coming out that way anyways in the summer so i mean might as well try and get a few of us together that are willing :D

even if its 10ish

[Rapier46]

That was alot of reading for ten o'clock at night...

[mcfly]

well in 6 months i think we could have quite a few more people on here and interested, the majority of us are in western canada

start recruiting then, i'm all tapped out of people i know.

I agree with the post above, any plans are quite premature as we do not have the member base for a full fledged meet.

[DrMango]

No one is under the idea that this meet will be happening right in spring or anything, or any specific time frame even..
We realize that the member base is small but like inhumane said, I'll be in that area already during the summer. Might as well try to get ideas together. I don't care if its just 5 people, maybe 10 would be awsome.
Having this conversasion might even get more interest on this forum..

Kyle

[Allan74]

Let's do a Vegas run.......

[DougTaylor]

I'm in for a Western meet.. As long as there's a class for us old guys..

[Snow]

I want to see that car of yours in person. So yes.

And there's a few guys that come out who are "aged" as well. They have some of the best cars...

[M13]

Martin won't be organizing SKYWEST 2010, so we better do something...

[DrMango]

Thats the idea. I spammed the shit out of GTRC to get more westerners on here for the meet

Kyle

[mcfly]

We can make an events section if needed. someone say the word and it will appear I am all for a western skymeet planned here :P

[inhumane]

lets dooo it haha, my IP address is banned from gtrc?

[hozer]

Thats the idea. I spammed the shit out of GTRC to get more westerners on here for the meet

Kyle

Thats why I'm here :p

[Allan74]

Kyle

Nice job ;)

[89gtr]

yeah i got a message saying to check this site out.so i did,and now i'm here too.

a meet would be awesome. i live in venon,and there are a few,gtrs,gts's,and rb powered 240s around here.i'm sure i can round them up for a meet.
i just moved here,and it is a nice looking place but eveybody is saying it is awesome looking in the summer and the beaches are packed.

[Zacho]

I'd be down for a meet for sure. I'll bring the car, if it blows up before then I'll bring the truck. Either way it would be cool.

[Joker]

I pretty much quit GTRC once the paid membership came in. I might be down for a western meet. No dates/location or anything planned yet?

[dah_hunter]

Skymeet was good last year.. its a lot of organizing though.. I would love to do it.. but i dont think i will have time.. working 6 days a week doesnt let me do stuff like that..

[nic-skyline]

this sounds fun, im down to go.

[mcfly]

are you still regional manager? Or did they get rid of that?

Welcome to the site. No dates posted as of yet. we need some more people and polls I suppose

[DrMango]

Skymeet West - Pre Planing Thread - GTRPWR Forums

thread for planning the western skymeet. We just need more members and a good idea of everyones locations to really get a good idea of whats best.

Kyle

[DrMango]

Looks like there will be atleast 2 meets planned at the same time. There is a western skymeet being organized with sponsors on GTRC. The people looking to take part in that meet, please refer to the link I posted in the previous post or to the meet clearly listed in the meet section.

This will be a seperate meet and we shall continue to push it as a GTRP meet. Anyone that is interested in some input towards making this happen please post here

Kyle

[Muss@GeneticTuning]

Haha well as I see this is a lost cause, I vote we stagger these events. At least give a chance at there being a good number at each meet.

[mcfly]

when is skymeet, better yet when should we make this, make them pick another date. we have 52 weeks to choose from now.

[Rapier46]

Mcfly what are u goin on about?

[DougTaylor]

I want to see that car of yours in person. So yes.

And there's a few guys that come out who are "aged" as well. They have some of the best cars...

Assuming you're talking to me, you are too kind, I am happy to show it though! And having a little extra cash to spend on toys is certainly one of the benefits of getting "aged"..

[DougTaylor]

yeah i got a message saying to check this site out.so i did,and now i'm here too.

+1 for Vernon - by the way, do you know Ferd at Custom Car Concepts? If you don't, stop in there and say Hi. He knows me, does awesome work, and he is a really good guy..

[Muss@GeneticTuning]

Kelowna>Penticton>Vernon ;)

But I agree, choose a date for the GTRP meet, and hopefuly things work out. I would like to attend both personally, and as a shop.

[Joker]

are you still regional manager? Or did they get rid of that?

Welcome to the site. No dates posted as of yet. we need some more people and polls I suppose

Naw, I just did the Banff meets in 2006, 2007 and 2008. The extent of my form power was being able to send out 50+ peepz mass mails. I gave up in 2009 and let others do it. GTRC dosen't seem to have the same appeal as it used to. No one wants to get together anymore :(

I'll watch this thread and see if I can make it. Hell I got the car still, shouldn't be a problem :P

[inhumane]

well i think we should just focus on this meet and if the other one is a go then maybe show up?

[mcfly]

we really don't have enough people right now to gather in a remote location and make it worthwhile.

if people want to get ideas together for locations someone can then make a poll and we vote.

[inhumane]

i suppose so but as people join they can be directed to a solid thread

meh :D maybe ill start up a poll

[mcfly]

someone make a meet location discussion thread.

[Snow]

I agree that it would be smart to stagger the two events, especially with our current size.

If anything, we should have it after. That way everyone goes to the GTRC meet, has a wicked time going, "We should totally do this again!"

"Yea? Come out in two weeks for the GTRP meet in Kelowna then."

[Muss@GeneticTuning]

When we do find out a date be sure to let us know. Genetic Tuning would be interested in setting up a tent and hosting a bbq. Bring out some burgers, drinks etc.

[DrMango]

Sounds good muss. Basically now we need more willing members. Its all a matter of time

Kyle

[Crazy 88]

I'm in, with the Holy Grail of car shows (Langley Cruise-in) cancelled this year I think I can make the GTRC meet, HotNite (Kamloops) and whatever you guys want to throw together.

Kelowna would be like me stepping back 20 years, I used to cruise there at least 4 weekends a summer with a bunch of other car dudes. Current ride is much cooler now ;).


Jon.

[inhumane]

check out the discussion thread for the gtrpwr meet, were starting to get some ideas together, if you have some good spots throw them in there :D
