SoCal car meet once FR-S/216a/2000rs comes out?
 
Lol. BRING IT ALL STOCK. O:

Would be fun. :> Although I'd probably be the only female there. Unless.. a miracle happens. :)

andygee 06-11-2011 12:11 PM

Fortunate Few 06-11-2011 01:26 PM

aliphian 06-11-2011 01:59 PM

I might have to go to Socal to even get the car. LOL. In that case, I will meet you guys as soon as I leave the dealership.

I'd buy my wheels after I see how comfortable I am with everything. Lol I don't know the offset or wheel size yet so I can't really buy anything until probably couple/few weeks after I've purchased my car. XD But definitely going to get it tinted, CF hood. Short shifter and probably racing seats but we'll see. O:

First meet. Just to get all those who have the car together. Month later see any improvements. Then every other month. Prob. Lol

Plus I'll take a look around for some decent food places or a decent sized lot. If no food I'll call some gourmet food trucks and see if they'll come out. :>

Toyota/scion san diego emailed me and my friend few weeks ago asking when they get the first batch of scion FRS if we can do a BBQ meet up again and his asking me if I can again keep my AE86 on the showroom. I'm going to post as soon as toyota/scion san diego emailed me when.

That would awesome! What a complete honor and privilege to have your car in the showroom!

San Diego has plenty of nice places for a meet, Mission Bay, Coronado, Pacific Beach etc! ;)

I'm waiting a couple of years but would love to meet up whether it's LA or SD.

last time my car was seating on the showroom with other toyota cars like the red GT2000, SW20 & MK4 supra twin turbo all stock looking except me. o yeah all I got was this ugly TRD jacket, cap & 12 toyota oem oil filter dont know what others got lol

http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/d...n/faff9105.jpg

O yeah last time was on elcajon toyota when it just got remodel last 2008 or 2009, I remember the gen mgmt was the judge on the car show and I didnt enter but the old guy looked at my car and asked why I didn't enter and say for sure I'll win I told him my car is not a show car, he smiled and told me I can see that and ask for a ride lol

RRnold 06-12-2011 12:51 AM

Sweet! Did you happen to take any pics of the GT2000?

That jacket and hat is a bit on the bland side but it's better than nothing! All that work and they give you a Fan Mart issued windbreaker and hat! :bellyroll:

Giccin 06-12-2011 04:28 AM

There good eateries around there? O: Around my area we have all sorts of asian food but some of you guys might not like things like... Korean BBQ all you can eat or what not. Lol. I'd love to explore SD a little more though. :> We can have meets at different places! I've driven 4 hours to check out a meet in Las Vegas. Lol Not a big deal. ;p

I did have it back then on my old laptop but It crashed along with my build pics of my white AE86, I asked them if they have another copy of the photo shoot they say they will look for it. I dont know if I want to do it again or maybe if they give me money lol...

Ooo I'm liking that. Although, if you find a decent sized lot let me know! :P

Date wise... I wonder what works best without having too many ricers.

Giccin 07-05-2011 03:28 AM

So I went to the Scion HQ in Torrance and apparently no one but employees can get in. :l So seeing the FR-S in person is out of the question unless it comes to your nearest auto convention.

Fly Guy 07-05-2011 03:38 AM

Awww, that sucks. :(

R_E_L 07-07-2011 06:13 PM

I wont be buying at launch but would love to show up for a photoshoot

There was a rather large African American lady working the Toll booth. And I must say--she was not impressed. haha

haha actually its the other way around, i would be takin' pics of everyone else's cars since i wouldn't have one yet.

fito68 07-09-2011 07:21 PM

Newport beach would be awesome! great places to meet up and there will be some good photo op spots as well.

I will also be waiting a month or so after launch to see what type of suspension and turbo upgrades are presented. My buddy works for hotchkis performance so I am hoping he gives me the go ahead for R&D so I can have a incentive for picking up the car early.

But I am down to roll anyway I just hope you guys don't mind a Z at the meet.(that is if I don't pick up the girl)

I can't think of a place that has a decent sized lot in Newport beach that can accommodate most of us. lol. Seaside at night? Those crossants are bomblicious!

Aside from that! If those who don't have the FRS/216a its cool if you guys bring your other cars or bikes. :> It'll be a private-ish meet with bunch of other people. :)

AS LONG AS NONE OF YOU ARE RICERS. I DON'T LIKE TURDS DOING BURNOUTS AND REVING THEIR ENGINES AND BUMPIN' THEIR MUSIC. Oh, wait there's a police station there. So if anyone is being a turd you're more likely to get a ticket. haha

cyde01 07-10-2011 03:24 AM

If u wanna do an oc meet I say the district in tustin then tastea later:thumbsup:

Ricers wont come out and admit that theyre ricers. Just got to make that judgement yourself and just stay clear from them. Plus, socal is filled with ricers so good luck trying to keep it ricer-FREE. They used to have a big car meet by disneyland and a week after they started it was filled with civics/ricers.

But down to come down and meet fellow car enthusiasts. :)

Hmm are you talking about the one near m&m donuts?

RRnold 08-05-2011 07:04 PM

How is Irvine Spectrum or the Little Saigon area these days? Spectrum used to be a good meet up spot back in the days.

That one got busted because of fly-bys and ricers. :(

I was there a couple times. Did you see the video on the facebook page that had the idiots who were revving their civic get busted by the cops? lol

lmao! yes, my coworker was there when it happened.

but it was real welcoming and organized the first week or 2 but after that, the ricers got hold of it and cops started lurking around so people stopped showing. :/
It's sad to see a nice thing go because of a bunch of idiots are rev happy.

I'd be down for a meet if it goes down at Toyota of San Diego!

Asian food sounds good. Convoy Street has the hot spots... Viet, KBBQ, Japanese, Chinese, Thai, and random Asian cafes. Most are clustered together with small lots. But a few blocks down from the clusters is Yakyudori Yakitori which usually has a bunch of open spaces if we want to line up our cars. Best yakitori and ramen (plus happy hour!) in the area IMO.

But San D. is a schlep for po' boys from the SFV. :(

Almost all the parking spots along the bottom 3 rows are usually available.

Hey bud,

I'm a bit new to the "car shopping" experience. How much do aftermarket parts like those cost (rough range of prices)? I would probably copy you, minus the new seats.

Also, a suggestion in SD is La Jolla Shores, and in LA area is prolly Venice Beach.

Thank you!

Too much crime in Little Saigon, with the viet thugs. Irvine would be neat to meet up at though.
