[SilverMitsu]

You guys thought our last meet was big? just wait till this date comes.....

I have worked it out with the Mitsu rep, and the official SoCal "Shootout" as its being called, will be held on Saturday April 23rd 2005 at the Mitsu HQ in Cypress Cali. They will be emptying the ENTIRE parking lost/structure to make room for us. I cant give you guys the juicy details of what mitsu has planned, but I can tell you it will blow your minds of all the shit they are doing for us, I know what they have planned of course, but its not yet finalized as of yet, getting the final ok tomorrow from Brent (mitsu rep). oh yea, the mother of all SoCal meets is coming....

[DSMSpyder99]

Yea this was on the SoCAL Fourm threads about sunday/monday. The R&D guys have been on those forums for about a year. Asking the older DSMers (mid 20s-to mid 30s) whats the next step for Mitsu. They even invited people back in the summer to see the final prototype of the 4G at the headquater along with the raider. Also there was a funny thread of them asking RRE to do the RalliArt Galant :laugh: man that was funny :

I'm here to pass on the news that Mitsu USA is going to throw an event
that will invite any mitsu powered, preferably modified cars to it's
Headquarters for an official Mitsu Owners Day.

This is an event for DSMs, Starions, Montero, Colt, FTO, 3000 GT, 3rd
Gen, 4th Gen Eclipse, Evo, Stealth, Dodge Raider, Plymouth Arrow,
Sedia, Greymarket cars, Galants etc.... ALL. Off road, drag, track,
street, custom, rally,.. it's all good.

Here's what's official:

MOD'05 APRIL 16th,.. Mitsubishi HQ at 6420 W. Katella Cypress, CA

The R&D design courtyard/showroom will open to all with a design
process display, concept cars, production cars (EVO IX, Gen4 Eclipse,
Raider)

Car show awards, design office special t-shirts hand outs.

This event is being initiated by Mitsu USA R&D (where some of the
fringe element of car culture dwell), though it is wholly by
Mitsubishi for the tuner Mitsubishi faithful.

Here's what's still being worked out or needed:
Magazines coverage, tuner shops, tuner wear, maybe a dyno (depends on
the rumor of XS Engineering or someone having a portable one)

Why are they doing this?
Simple R&D guys are young late twenties early thirties car guys that
like what we like. Every time they try to do something that they know
the real car guy/home tuner likes; they get shot down by accounting,
Marketing, CEOs etc.

The idea is. If Ford, Chevy, GM can have a grassroots car following
and support it through factory performance parts, books, special
edition cars as they have for the last 45 years; why can't Mitsu USA.

Mitsu Japan and UK do a good job of this, Mitsu USA does not.

Idea is to show the bean counters, marketing, and general design teams
at Mitsu USA that people want the same factory support and have the
same passion for cars as those owners of Corvette, Neon SRT-4, Viper,
Camaro, and Mustang do.

Bottom line is it's a chance to show Mitsu USA what we like about
their cars and what we hate about their cars.

If all goes well at the event; meaning people actually show up with
thier NON-HOOPTY modified Starion, colt, DSM, 3000 GT, EVO Montero, etc.

The R&D guys will them have the capital to do what Mopar, Ford Racing,
GM Performance, Ralliart Japan and Mitsu UK do.

Well hopefully I will be done with my insepction by the Cali. State Ref. by then and take my turbo kit off (which I am actaully doing right now as we speak, anyone wanna come over and help?) and hopefully put it right back in by the meet I will probably be pulled over again though and be told to take it off again....

So if our cars arent heavily modified, we cant go on the main stage? hopefully ill have my turbo upgrade by then

 

[peanotation]

i'll be going along with a few highly modifed fellow galants

 

[dr1665]

I've got a minimum of two other cars making the trip from Phoenix, Rob. We got dibs on the sofa/spare room. If need be, I can crash down in San Clemente at truby's I'm sure. This is going to be off the hook.

 

[SilverMitsu]

see how much I love you guys, setting up an OFFICIAL meet with all these goodies!!!!

 

[brrrnntsshhhh]

time to load up the talon with some goodies

 

[surge]

Well guys there it is, My car will be up and running by then for sure. I bought my transmssion last week and it comes with an LSD. and also my wheels are comming so Ill be set. And like Rob said you're all welcome to our house and yes beer will be provided most likely a keg since its been a while since I baught one I figure this is reason enough to justify the expense.
