I'm gonna show up for sure, no dyno cause we're gonna have an awd one in Knoxville in the next few weeks so dude at that shop said he'd hook me up for cheap. See everyone there, Dan.

I'm so going to this. I'll be getting my DSM this week, bought it from a good friend of mine, and this is my first. I actually have those days off that week, so it'll be fun to go to my first meet
Def. want to Dyno it, if there are any spaces available! Also, anyone have room available for 2 people or know of any hotels with spaces left?

Added, and here is the hotel info. There should be some rooms available.
BTW, I'm James & my gf Tara will be with me. I don't really want to be a total stranger, so Hello all! I found out we live just over an hour away, which is even more awesome.
My Talon will be bone-stock, so kinda unimpressive, but beautiful nonetheless. My girl may be riding in her own '88 MR2 for the dragon on the 2nd day. She's pretty excited to meet everyone, plus seeing the skylines
Feel free to PM me to get to know me better before this meet. We live in spartanburg, SC so if you're close by maybe we can get together ahead of time.

Do you plan on staying up here overnight or driving back since it's only an hour away?
What color is your Talon? Turbo? Your GF sounds pretty awesome man. At least she's into cars. lol
Thanks for posting up bro. A lot of the people that are going are outgoing so I don't think anyone will feel like a stranger.

My girlfriend is gonna be comin with me and my boy is too for sure. He just bought a colt and he's trying to get the 4g turbo swap done in time to drive that up there. If not, it's gonna be 3 deep in the 92 ha ha ha. Lookin forward to my first meet ever. Btw Mrdrd Laser, we'll be passin through asheville area as we are comin from Knox. Your car looks suspiciously like my boys old laser lol.
Hey guys, we'll have a lot going on through out the day for the dyno and I was wondering if anyone would be interested in giving a hand here and there. The biggest help we'll need will be on the grill and setting up for lunch. If anyone is interested Pm me. Thanks!
Just want to give everyone a heads up. If you want to get in touch with me this week, call or PM me before 2pm during the day. If not I will not be able to respond until the following day; or you can PM Clint(inspired auto).

Gettin the car ready for the road trip, hasn't been on the road much for the last two or three weeks. Did my timing belt, water pump, cam seals, oil change, and SAFC install today plus a little bit of road tuning. Gonna convert my car to non-ABS tomorrow and get the front end aligned, ready for the dragon.
won't be there. sorry, my swap is still not complete. argh
Sorry to hear that man. Next time.
Ok everyone. Everything is set and ready to go at Appalachian Performance tomorrow. If you are going to be dynoing, please be there no later than 10am. Everyone coming to watch/hang/eat can show up whenever you like.
We will start grilling out at about 12:30pm for lunch and two big gas grills. We have plenty of food; if you want to bring drinks or chips feel free. We have quite a bit, but it will be close to 80 with a nice clear sky tomorrow. Dress accordingly.
The live feed will on USTREAM.COM will start at about 10am. If you want to watch and chat about the dyno action here is the link:
We are meeting at the IHOP on Smokey Park HWY. I believe the address is 225 Smokey. It's right off of exit 44 from I 40. We'll be there at 8am! See ya!

Guess we missed everybody, went thru the dragon at about 1pm and only seen 4 eclipse's. We were in the blue 91 talon . We are in the process of getting a knoxville meet together at Full Boost Tuning (strip club directly across the street...hahaha) and you Nc guys are more then welcome to come down for some . We are thinking bout getting everybody together and going to 411 dragstrip for some real intertainment.... Yall need to bring the fast cars cause we got em down here..haha
All of these cars were daily-drivable, pump gas, street cars except the Mustang GT which was a slick-shod, trailered-in drag car running 112.
Highest horspower of the day was Dustin's Yellow Evo 8 at 430awhp. He received his dyno time for free and a t-shirt from Epic Motorsports.
2nd highest was Chris and his 1g Talon AWD(The Purple Monster) at 353awhp. He received half-off his dyno fee and a t-shirt from Epic Motorsports.
Mark and his 1g Eclipse received the "Most Epic Fail" of the dyno day when, after the second pull on the dyno, the harmonic balancer decided to snap apart, turning the alt belt into spaghetti. If you were watching the live feed you got to see the handful of "noodles" we had. Mark received a $50 gift certificate from Epic Motorsports and his buddy(I fail at names) got a t-shirt for helping Mark replace the balancer for the next couple of hours. Big thanks to the guys at Appalachian for letting them use the shop to fix the car.
Heather and her 2g Eclipse will get any one part under her hood powdercoated by Tirado Custom Coatings, for FREE! She will also receive 25% off anything else she wants to have coated. She get's this because her engine bay was the most "in need" at the meet. Now she we be able to have one of the nicest.
I want to thank all of the guys at Appalachian Performance for letting us use thier facilities and set up a couple grills to cook on. I would also like to thank our sponsors Robbie and Epic Motorsports, Carlos and Tirado Custom Coatings, and Mitsu-Media.com. Thank you guys for making this event more than expected.
I would also like to thank all of you who came out for the meet. This was for you. I hope everyone enjoyed it. Hope to see you again next year.
