High Banks Metro Park, June 14th 11am-12pm meet up (I will be there earlier to try and reserve a spot for us), Lower end of the Park is where we will be meeting up. Those are FREE area's but they are on a First come First serve bases. Im trying to keep this as Cost free as possible, if we DO have a lot of people coming we can reserve the Mansion or the Upper level, I believe cost was 75 dollars from 7:45am till 5pm for one or the other. I like the idea of Free ;), the Shelters do have grills there and there should be ample parking, if not we can always do a shuttle thing.

So, what would you guys prefer as far as food goes? We can cruise out to the *new* Polaris Fashion Mall ;), or we can eat there, I myself would prefer to cruise to the Mall since that means less planning for me, however I can't pass up a cookout. I will however provide beverages of the non-alcoholic kind, since the stupid park wont let us drink beer!

I am still waiting for Jason to get back to me and I am also posting this up on a local board to get more people to show up.

Ideas? Comments? Questions?! Post them here or email me at arex2@columbus.rr.com

Edit: ANYONE and EVERYONE is welcome, just dont be a dumb ass, speaking of which IF ANYONE decides to be stupid and try doing burnouts etc in the Park, I will personally hold you down and pee on you! ;) I don't think it will be a problem however, most people on the board seem to be mature and good natured.

Sounds good
 

I like the cruise to Polaris for food. Can't wait to see all your cars. Maybe we can head over to the Autocross race after the meet.

I'm also trying to get a meet in cincinnati, so if any of you would like to come or are interested please talk to me about it. If not enough people decide to show up to the cincy meet then i guess i will try to roll up to this meet, or just have a meet with few people in cincy.

I will be there, but late, about 6pm. I have military duty that weekend and will have to drive staight up from Springfield ANG Base. I hope to get off the base by 4pm. Ill look for yah at the park then the mall.

Cell Number

Tony -
Hey, I'm eyeing getting one of the Blitz dual TT DC2's put in my mazdaspeed, but this is all new to me. Who locally should I talk to about the install?

So is June 14 the final date? All I need is directions to the park and I'm straight.

Any quick way to the park if I come in on 33 East?

Coming from Lima, Oh

pr5zoom, I, unfortunatly, don't have my cell phone anymore. I can pm you my home number if you like. I don't think it will do much good though :(. If there is anything I can do please let me know.

Hipcheck, there a few decent places to go. If you are looking for Dyno Tuning I can help you out there. Im sure I can find someone to help you out. www.columbusracing.com is a good place to get information etc. www.dynotunemotorsports.com offers GREAT rates and if Brian doesn't know how to install your stuff he will find somebody that can. I will ask around as well.

Onatrum, represent! Lima, Oh thats where my grandma lives ;). The park is located on US Route 23, just north of I270(which loops around Columbus). 9466 Columbus Pike (US Rt 23 N) Lewis Center, OH 43035, you should be able to mapquest from that.

June 14th still sound okay with everyone? I still haven't heard anything from Jason, Advance Imports Owner, but I will email him again. Anybody have any better ideas? stuff to do etc? I am open to ANY and ALL opinions.

well, I'm not looking to do any testing like that or anything, I just wanted to see about having a turbo-timer/boost gauge installed.

Maybe a front mount intercooler or cold air intake in a bit, but even THAT is pretty radical for me.
<shrug>

Bah, this week should be nice break out the tool box old man! ;)

lol

this is true, it can't be THAT hard - but I've never attemped anything like that and I'm busy being paranoid about the new car.

<shrug>

I was hoping to find someplace nearby would have it to sell & install both without breakin the bank.

Alright guys i will try and be there, again i dotn have much done yet to the protege but it isnt impossible to have exhaust and cai by that time, we will see, anyways if anyone see's a white lx roaming around looking like an idiot flag me down and point in the right direction hehe thnx and hopefully see you there!

lol ;) like I said before ANYBODY is welcome to come, nobody will care what you have done. This is just to be meet people on the board and add some faces to the names we see. There will be a few diffrent cars around Columbus showing up as well. Im always open for any other idea's so lets hear them! Looks like we should have a decent turn out!

Times getting short how many people we got coming? Let me know!

I would love to come but if no one is going to show up, I probably won't drive 3hrs. So if you guys are going give the man a head count. I will need directions from 71 south please!!!! Ry:D

Yikes, I'm not sure if I can be there.
I KNOW I have a high school/middle school lock-in to chaperone the night before, and I have this nagging feeling that I'm supposed to be someplace on the 14th too.
<sigh>
I likely wouldn't be able to do much more than stop by to say "hey" I'm afraid - if I can swing that I will, but don't worry about counting me for any food considerations or anything like that.

:(

I have graduation Friday June 13th and my parents will be in town. I know they're going to want to go to a museum or something while they're in town, but I'll try to get rid of them as soon as I can on Saturday so I can join you all.

Is the park easy to find?

Yes it's pretty easy to find
 

Go south on Route 23 just past Polaris Parkway and it'll be on your right hand side.

Thanks :D

First off I live in Dublin, and I go to OSU. I just moved here about a year ago from Dearborn, MI. I will be up in MI on the 13th since I have to go to a graduation, but I will see if I can make it back down here to meet up. I am excited that I am not the only one in Columbus. Also, since I just got my P5 2 weeks ago its still stock, even so, I still would like to see evryone else's rides and maybe get some ideas. Hope to see you guys there. If i can't make it then, maybe the locals could meet again sometime in the summer.

(I can't find the mapquest, I gotta go to work but I will have it posted asap)

is the zoom in to Highbanks Metro Park. We will be in one of the last shelters. I will be there, look for a Red Protege5 with dark tint and a Mazdaspeed axle back exhaust. I will try and get signs up, not for sure though.

Do we want to cookout? I can't pass up a good cookout but that requires a little more planning etc. Let me know!

As for you out of towners, I said in a post long time ago, if you need a place to stay I have plenty of room and we can throw a party at my place anyway, I will be done with my classes this quarter I need an excuse :p.

Would prefer to cruz for food.:D I'm Lazy;)

Damnit! I wanted to come but my GirlFriend's graduation party is that day!

(it is June 14th, right?)

Hmm, got any room for a n00b?:D

Just picked up an LX today to add to my car collection. If any of you have been to the OVR Solo events this season, I have a WRX I run in STX.

This might have been already posted, but i didnt feel like reading the whole post so here is my question:)

I was wondering what time will you all be meeting up at the park June 14th ???

May be slightly later for me.

hey guys, i just did a yahoo map on the address, here is a link to the map map

Thanks for the map! Ive been looking all over for one!!!

Add me to the list!
 

I will be coming up with pr5zoom!

Rock on!!! going over some of the stuff it looks like a cruise to the Mall might be a PITA... We'll see, maybe we can order some pizza once we are there if we don't feel like cruising?

Does anybody need a place to stay? If you do please let me know! If you do need directions or anything else shoot me a pm and I will give you my #, hopefully I will be home! :p

We have a decent show of hands who wants to come, Im actually suprised. Thanks for even considering this!
