new thread regarding everything to do w/ ATL celica meets & Phase 7

[skatamatic]

ok, just taking barry's suggestion of starting a new thread (the other one was taking too long to load on our good ol' 56k's). anyhow, here's what we got so far:
next meet: december 7 @ ? (somewhere downtown, we're looking for a location that we can get some good pics at that will show the whole skyline in the background - thinking of turner field area for pics, then maybe hooters for its "scenery")
club name: phase 7 (unless anyone really objects to it, that's what we've all agreed on.)
can't think of anything else right now.

the parking deck at Georgia Tech has a pretty good view of the BellSouth building and Bank of America tower behind it (Midtown), along with some other buildings. Turner has a good view of downtown Atlanta though. One thing: being at Turner field when its dark/late is not always fun. For instance, at SCCA events people always find bullets on the ground.. :)

Dan

[cbr600drm]

Everything sounds good to me. Dan has a good point. Maybe we should try to stay in a better part of town. I'll try to go down towards Atlanta next weekend and see if I can spot any good places. North of Atlanta towards Gwinnet would be kind of far for everyone else wouldn't it? Even a mall parking lot could work I suppose. Hooters afterwards for sure. I am cool with the Phase Seven name for the club too.

Duncan

[skatamatic]

yea, not sure if i wanna get shot while taking pics of the cars. although maybe it's not that bad during the day, but im not sure if we wanna try. hopefully you'll find somewhere good duncan, and we can go there instead. north of atl. would be a little far for me, but i could still make it up there, i dont mind driving.

Hey Guys I'm New. I have a 2002 Black Celica GT. I'm sick of seeing Middle Aged Women drinving are cars LOL.....

Well i say we meet at North Point Mall. Its in a good part of town...huge parking lot....and we can all get somthing to eat at thefood court to ;)

Well its nice seeing some fellow Celica Owners in Georgia....and hope to see you all at one of the get togethers sometime.

bye

John

[skatamatic]

hey man, welcome to the board and the fun of owning a celica. what part of town are you from? also, where exactly is north point mall? i've heard of it, but being from hampton, i don't get up to the northside all that much(im thinking its up that way). we were trying to find somewhere in downtown to meet next so we could get some pics of all the cars in front of the city, so that's why we were thinking of those places in downtown right now. but maybe we can meet up there sometime. see ya...
-cody

[Bling]

Welcome to the board. I don't know where Northpoint mall is either.

[J5ISALIVE]

North Point is in Alpharetta Ga. Alpharetta is in Roswell. Um..... Alpharetta is 20 min North Of downtown. North Point Mall is on North Point Parkway. Its real easy to find the Mall is pobelly 1 mile away from 400.

Well are you all a nice bunch of guys? :) How old are u all? I'm 16 and the Celica is m first car and i love it to death...:D I hope that I can tae my dad to oneof thes meets so he can see how nice import owners are and how "improving" your car is a good thing. My dad drives a Porshe 911 and my mom drives a BMW 528 so they don't really need to make therecas better cause they are pretty much flawless stock. But me on the other hand has big plans for my Celica GT.

What do you all have done to your cars? As of now i have a S2000 antenna, and Celica Fillin-decals. As soon as i hae money i will be getting 17in Konig Tanrums, TRD Exhaust, and then by the end of the summer i should be buyin a VeilSide front, Back, and wing. Hopefully i will have thekit by September in time for Nopi Nats.

well talk to you all later. Please give a short list of what you all have done to your cars.


John
Alpharetta, Ga.

[Bling]

No we are not nice guys. Most of us are out of jail on parole. We hijack trucks on the weekends. When we hijack them we do it Very Fast and Very Furiously. We like to live our lives quartermiles at a time and for those 14 to 15 seconds we're free. j/k

I'm 19 and I think you're the youngest here.
mods not in my sig: painted calipers, painted engine plastics, celica fill-in, and the dreaded s2000antenna.
Coming next week: 17" Racing Hart M5's.

[J5ISALIVE]

yay i'm the youngest member of Phase Seven :D oh well that cool with me.

well what do the rest of yu all have?

I hope i can go to our "meet" i really want to hear a TRD Exhaust in action.


John

[skatamatic]

cool...somebody took my spot of the youngest member now..haha. i'm 18 though. check my sig below for all the mods i have. like barry said, we are a pretty rough group of guys. in fact, to be admitted in the club, you'll have take part in our next hi-jacking as the person that jumps into the big rig truck and beats the driver up. haha..j/k. sounds like you've got some good plans though for your car. and seems like your parents have some nice rides too. tell your dad i'll race him when i get my turbo (unless his 911 is also a turbo). :) also, northpoint mall seems like it's right near where i'll be driving a few times a week starting in jan. (the art institue of atl, it's exit 5 off of 400). anyway, look foward to meeting you and seeing your car, make sure you check out the dec. 7 meet if you get a chance. see ya...
-cody

[J5ISALIVE]

my dads Porshe is a plain 911....everyday he makes it clear to me that "Celicas have got nothing" in turms of power i guess. Well i don't thnk my dad would like to here someoe say "hey wanna race" but who knows :) give it a try. well wheres the meet gonna be? Turner Feild? if so which lot.? thanks

John

[Coolwheels00]

Hey Cody.
The Phase Seven name sounds cool. I was looking at your sig. What if you combined the two words to PhaSeven? It still pronounces the same.

[cbr600drm]

Your lucky J5! My first car was an 89 Dodge Caravan and it wasn't even really mine. I didn't have my own car until I was 17 and it was just a six cylinder 68 Mustang. I can imagine the rednecks where I live trying to pronounce phaseven. "whats faseven?" It looks cool for the logo but Phase seven in two words would be better I think. Just my opinion though.:) I haven't done any looking around yet for other possible meet spots but I eill for sure this weekend.

[skatamatic]

hey Jamie...
glad you think the name sounds cool, it was actuall barry's idea though so we have to thank him for his creativity. the PhaSeven idea is kinda neat, but i think i still like the regular way a little more, its easier to tell what it says that way:). u gonna make it out to the next meet though? i still wanna say hi and check out the car and all that.
and also, john, i'm still not sure if we've decided on a location for the next meet, we wanna meet somewhere like turner field (or somewhere in that area) and then are planning on going to hooters. and i dont think i wanna race your dad yet, but once i save up $6000 and get my turbo and have my car putting down 288 hp, then we can let him say celica's have nothing:) (haha...but that will take me about 10 years so he's got me for a while)
see ya...

[cbr600drm]

Have a good Thanksgiving everyone! I'll be back in a couple days. My parents got a rental car for the trip. It is a freakin Caddy. This thing is sweet! It is a little big for my taste, but the thing has the onstar and all the other trick caddy stuff. I didn't realize they had a big 32 valve V8 in them either. Talk to you all in a few days.
,Duncan

[skatamatic]

have a good trip duncan, sounds like the caddy will be fun. also, everyone check out http://members.tripod.com/~PhaseSeven
i got a little stuff put together on it (copied mostly from the other kinda joke car club i started), but i plan on doing a good bit more to it soon. once we get some good pics at the next meet, i'll put them up there along w/ pics of each person's car by itself and make a little page for each person. if anyone has any comments or suggestions, feel free to let me know. also, i went ahead and put down everyone's name that has expressed interest in the club in the "members" part, but if anyone else wants up there, let me know and i'll get it.

[J5ISALIVE]

cand e-mail u a pic of my car to put on the site? :)

John

[skatamatic]

yea, send one to codywellons@hotmail.com and i'll get it up there. i also plan on putting up a little info on each person's car like mods, future plans, awards won, or any other stuff like that, but it might be a little while. we can all talk about it at the next meet to get everything figured out.

[2kgtx]

Hey everyone Happy Thanksgiving. J5 You live pretty close to me I think. I am down at northpoint all the time you may have seen my car it is a 2000 silver GT with yellow stripes their are only 2 like it in the area. By the way im thinking when we do figure out were to meet. if it is downtown maybe some of us could meet at Northpoint. I know when we did the MTN run everyone met at Fudruckers @ northpoint. Hey Cody I checked out the site it looks really good. for the members section we should take pics of everyone by thier cars and put their names with their pics. Just an idea it looks great.
Mark.

[skatamatic]

hey mark, thanks for the compliments on the site. and yea, i'm planning on doing the thing w/ pics of everyone's cars, i'm gonna have links from the members page to pics pretty soon hopefully. i figure i'll just take some pics at the next meet for that or if anyone has some good pics of their car they want up, post them here or e-mail them to codywellons@hotmail.com and i'll put them up. also, john, if you didn't see the e-mail yet, the pics you sent didnt work for some reason, so if you will just try posting them up here and i'll get them. thanks...
-cody

[cbr600drm]

The site looks good Cody! I'll try to take some more pics of my car this weekend to send to you. I'm still planning on scouting possible sites for the meet tonight and tomorrow night too.

[DevlynSyde]

Just bought my Celi, a 2000 GTS black. Anyone that can give me some ideas on a few cheap mods to get it started? I've already seen how much better the s2k antenna looks, and I want to replace that orange front light...
Anyone know where I could pick up the gas door for cheap? Mine has a small dent.

[skatamatic]

hey DevlynSyde...
welcome to the board...as for as cheap mods go, like you said the s2000 antenna is a good idea, also you can try removing the butterfly valve. i never did it on mine since i got an intake right away, but i've heard it's pretty easy. check the "installs" section of this site for more info on that. another thing that you can try on your own is painting the engine and/or interior plastics and brake calipers. i'm not sure where to get a new fuel door, but you could try e-mailing david draper at west covina toyota (www.wctoyotasport.com), or go to your local dealer. also, i have a friend that runs a body shop that might be able to fix it for cheaper than a new one, but i'm not completely sure. good luck with everything, and try to make it by the next meet if you have a chance.
-cody

[skatamatic]

hey, just realized that in a few earlier messages i had the next meet as being on dec 7, but i think dec. 8 (saturday) was the day we were all planning on. didn't wanna confuse anyone and have them show up the wrong day, so just thought i'd mention this.

[Bling]

I can make it on Friday the 7th, but I can't on the 8th I have to be at a wedding.

[cbr600drm]

There is no way I could make it on Friday the 7th until 7 or later. What if we made it the 15th? The 1st could work too maybe but thats kind of short notice. I could do which ever one is best for everyone else. I didn't get to do much exploring this weekend for a meet spot. Other than some of the malls or Malibu Grand Prix I didn't see anything that looked especially good.

[Bling]

The 15th would be fine. What about on Sunday 9th?

[cbr600drm]

I could do it on the 9th. Whatever day would get the best turnout.

Duncan

[skatamatic]

the 1st, 9th, or 15th are all good with me

[DevlynSyde]

Those three are all good with me as well, though Sunday's would mean leaving earlier for me, early morning.

[2kgtx]

The first or the 15th for me just let me know when and where
Mark

[Bling]

The 1st would be just fine, but 15th would be better for me since I'll have my rims by then.

[cbr600drm]

Yeah, if we have it on sunday I would have to head for home kind of early too. Would the 15th be ok with everyone?

[skatamatic]

the 15th is good with me, or if yall wanna do it the 1st, thats cool too. i wouldnt mind getting the ps2 from barry a little early so i can start on metal gear 2 :). but i can wait too. just let me know...
-cody

[2kgtx]

If we can do the 1st it would be great since I just found out that I will be off work and that as of last night I am going down to Fl. on the 14th and won't be back till the 16th.

[Bling]

I guess we'll do it on the 1st then. Anybody found a place yet?

[cbr600drm]

What would you guys think about meeting at that autocross that Dan(Liquid) posted about? That could be cool to meet there, hang out for a while, take pictures, then all go somewhere else. Just an idea. I think it would be cool. Maybe we could even meet still around the fifteenth(whoever can) to check out Cody's new stuff, and Barry's Wheels. Maybe more of an informal meet. What do you all think?

[skatamatic]

im down with the first, and might stop by the 2nd if a few of yall wanna show up to the auto-x. and if anyone wants to get together on the 15th again, i'd be cool with that. as far as locations go, i still think it would be cool to get some good pics w/the skyline in the background, so yall wanna meet somewhere downtown while its still light (we could go back to the varsity idea just cuz it's easy to find), then drive to somewhere like turner field, and then maybe to hooters like we had thought about. just an idea though, if anyone else has suggestions, feel free to post them too.

[DevlynSyde]

Sounds good to me, though I don't count as the new guy :o) If its the 1st I'll be hoping I'm early on in the day on delivery for my kitchen table (man... that could have been a body kit minus the paint).

[Bling]

How do I get to the varsity from west of Atlanta? I've never been there.
I plan to go to the Autocross on Sunday.

[DevlynSyde]

If you'd be going towards downtown, how would you go Bling? Might be easiest to plug in the addy's to yahoo maps, I'm sure you could get an addy from the Varsity's website.

So does anyone plan on meeting on the 1st, or do most people want to meet somewhere and go as a group to the autocross on the 2nd?

[cbr600drm]

It is off of the North Avenue exit of I85. I couldn't tell you the fastest way to get there, but if you are taking 285 you will then take 85 south into downtown and right after you pass Georgia Tech is the exit. You can see the Varsity from the highway too. It is left off of the ramp. There is probably a faster way, but I don't know exactly where you are coming from.

What time are we meeting? 3 or 4 would be good for me. I'm going to try to make it to the Autocross also.

[2kgtx]

Well I couldn't find the thread about the show at US play last year but I figure this could do Happy B'day Phase seven Ok I'm going to bed need to get up in 5 hours

[skatamatic]

hahaha...
this thing is old school.

[cbr600drm]

Damn! This brings back memories(sniffle sniffle)jk. We need to have a meet like that again sometime and get a bunch of new people to come. That was fun!

[cbr600drm]

Oh yeah, and I think we should go back to our old ways of eating at Hooters every weekend like we did for a while.

[TransAm]

Your starting Phase Seven back up?! Sweet.. Da Shiz and i decided we are going to get windshield headers like you all even though we dont own Celicas. He is getting "Phase Four" (4th gen Integra so he says) and im getting "Final Phase" (Last generation of Firebird/TransAm that is going to get made) Yeah come on! :rolleyes:

[mastercelica]

Hey J5ISALIVE, where in alpharetta do you live. I live in alpharetta by jones bridge and buice road.

Don't forget to tell him how you enjoy poisoning the wells at the orphanage and strangling puppies. ;)

[2kgtx]

It's funny reading posts when people don't realize that it's an old one and seeing what they say, anyway Since you can't own a page in on-topic threads I "didn't" OWN3d this page,
If you are wondering please see my sig

[skatamatic]

hahaha...yup, all that was completely old stuff for those of you wondering.

[Todd Ripple]

Bwahahahaha When I first started reading this I wondered about the first one talking about the club name. Then I looked to the left and saw the date and was like.. Woooh.. who brought back the dead... :D Oh Mark.. of course.. :D

[2kgtx]

What you talking about.... me?

[Impact Blue]

Man this is old....
