HIGH POINT outdoor park is officially reserved for AUG 13 2011
address: south east corner of 7800s 1000e; sandy utah
time: we have it reserved from 4pm to 10pm but gathering is expected to start at 6pm

i know there are a few of us floating around.

id like to set up a get together/ meet and greet some time in the next few months.
i know most of us have non running projects and thats fine.
chime in on what and where would be good. tell your buddies to get in this thread too. all is welcome. spread the word.

nobody?

UtahSleeper · **Posted:** Fri Jun 24, 2011 12:16 pm

I will be down. I would rather get my rolla running before hand obviously.

I think a park meet would be good. I am thinking late july, but again, need to see who else replies.

derek · **Posted:** Fri Jun 24, 2011 12:55 pm

yeah late july at murray park was my thought.. probably get my heap running by then although the body wont be anywhere near decent looking at that time

UtahSleeper · **Posted:** Fri Jun 24, 2011 1:12 pm

Ditto. My only goal for the end of summer is to have my car driving and street legal. Body comes after my alltrac is on the road.

Come on SLC, and surrounding area's, whats your thoughts on a meet?

JDMForm · **Posted:** Fri Jun 24, 2011 2:10 pm

Im down for a meet anytime.

if were goin to a park for the meet should bbq before we bbq we should have some people chip in see who is bringing what do a toll you know.just a thought im down for a meet either way.

onlyCressida4me · **Posted:** Fri Jun 24, 2011 2:24 pm

ill do the meeting at a large Crown or Apollo burger parking lot.

Derek- This is a great idea. I know we have a good amount J-Tin floating around her in Utah. People just need to drive them or drag them out. Doesn't matter what condition they are in, we want to see them. I will bring both my 510 wagon and my Hilux. I will start spreading the word.

Personally I have a few weekends at the end of July, beginning of August that will not work for me but I propose Saturday August 13th as a tentative date. I would prefer a park with shade and a place for the kids to play. BBQ or even informal pizza and drinks would be just fine. I am partial to Murray Park cause its beautiful (and close to my house :mrgreen:

)

On another note, I am planning on going down to JCCS this year with my 71 Hilux. Its a great show and well worth the effort to get down there if anyone wants to caravan.

UtahSleeper · **Posted:** Tue Jun 28, 2011 2:52 pm

I am game for that as a tentative date.

If any of us can meet up sooner then that works to. I just need to get mine running right and street legal

toydatto · **Posted:** Tue Jun 28, 2011 4:52 pm

I am up for a sooner meeting too. Thought that date might give people enough time to plan and gather up their friends.

If you are legalizing your car soon, in case you didn't know, as of July 1st, 30 year old cars and older can be registered as Vintage in Utah and not require a yearly safety inspection! It used to be 40 and older.

UtahSleeper · **Posted:** Tue Jun 28, 2011 5:01 pm

Nice. I assume for the first inspection it needs to get safety done though, correct? Or is that in general?

Guess the big concern is passing emissions which shouldn't be an issue for me once I have the EFI right.

toydatto · **Posted:** Tue Jun 28, 2011 9:18 pm

As far as I know they require a one time safety. When I called the DMV that's all they required. No emissions.

meeting sooner sounds good. my lash adjusters should be coming in this friday or monday doin a full tune up the following then she will be ready for the streets.

ill let people know bout the j-tin meet

UtahSleeper · **Posted:** Wed Jun 29, 2011 9:27 am

Wish I knew more people into my choice cars. My friends prefer the newer cars with less work needed. They think I am a little nuts for spending my time and money on my cars.

derek · **Posted:** Wed Jun 29, 2011 1:30 pm

i dont mind bringing the celica out in its mangled rusty state but i need help with the carb and electrical. guess i should get on the horn and call in some people that know about this kind of thing. glad its picking up steam and Duane thanks for joining. I know you know a few guys that would love to come. have you talked to ryan with the 4 door lately?

Foxau2 · **Posted:** Wed Jun 29, 2011 1:47 pm

Hey Derek, I'll be there along with the rest of my family of Toyotas.

1977 Celica Coupe
1977 Celica Liftback
1977 Corolla Liftback
1976 Corolla Fastback

Maybe we could get Eric from JDM Legends to join us? I'll ask him next time we're there. :tu:

Figured I'd post here, I'm in Lehi/work in sandy, but currently I don't have a j-tin. In the market for one slowly, but I'm moving to Cali soon so my priority is the move/new home. Depending on what happens in the next few weeks I should have a new ride if I'm around. However, if there's a BBQ I'm always happy to come around, say hi, and tell people their car rocks.

toydatto · **Posted:** Thu Jun 30, 2011 8:07 am

This is great! Its already picking up steam. Can't wait to see all the cars. You know with the long days of summer we could have a meet on a weekday evening as well. Maybe even make it a regular thing.

I keep in touch with Ryan (blue 4 door 510) but he has been working some long hours lately. I will let him know.

And Derek- I just met a friend of a friend that works at Mark Miller Toyota but he is big into vintage Land Cruisers. He came over to my house last night and we diagnosed my Hilux carb. I told him about yours and he's willing to help. Let me know when I can help you with your suspension and such.

derek · **Posted:** Thu Jun 30, 2011 9:30 am

for sure i will!

i would love to meet your new friend too. maybe he knows how to make my carb work too. is the hilux an 18rc?

Foxau2 · **Posted:** Thu Jun 30, 2011 9:33 am

Are there any other Celica owners around here that you know about?
