I would show up to gawk at the real legnums

I only just got a legnum, which is currently getting panel work cause some stupid woman drove into while i was in taupo over new years :@

Was so close to getting a VR4, but insurance just wouldn't do it for me, only 19 :(

Well I'm a starter............./rally

I have a suggestion for venue and time.:5shots:

For those in Wellington who read the 'NZ Performance Car' magazine, you should have noted that 'Speedtech' in Seaview (Lower Hutt) are holding a 'grand opening' day on Saturday 20th January. There's prizes, give aways etc etc.............(including dyno tuning time as prices too..........:2thumbsup )

Now I was going anyway, but let's have a Club VR4 get together there. There'll most likely be lots of Jap machinery there as well and if we can get a large group of VR4s there, well that would be really cool.:afro:

Dixon8 will mostly likely be a starter and both he and I know several VR4 owners who don't have access to the interweb, so with luck, we'll get them along too. I would expect them to jump at the chance to meet the rest of us.

What say you guys.....................:pimp2:

We could meet up somewhere else first and then all travel to Speedtech together......... and have a VR4 show of FORCE. :evilgrin:

Just a suggestion.....................:scholar:

BTW Dickies, you're not showing enough club spirit /pan ........... I too will be out of town that weekend (over in the Wairarapa)........but I'm driving all the way back so I don't miss this opportunity for a get together.:5shots:

Only joking, will be a shame if you can't make it if this idea floats.

Also coming back gives me a good excuse for a quick blast back and forward over 'The Hill'........:evilgrin:

Hey man, you're more than welcome. Your heart was in the right place, just the insurance rip-off merchants stopped you. The more the merrier and many won't even notice the difference anyway.

Hope to see you there then?

10-01-2007, 11:28 AM
Sweet!! sounds like there is a few keen people. The 20th you say? I sould be able to make it! We sould meet at the petone warehouse carpark then roll up at speedtech! That would be mean! Promo idea!

rayray24
12-01-2007, 03:33 AM
Well i'm going to set a time and place so if you want to meet there then sweet!

Petone warehopuse carpack over by briscoes, at 9.30am on the 20th of jan. Then off to speedtech and after that we can go criuze to over to a carpark around lyall bay if anyone is keen!

I want to get some photos and just see what other poeples legnums look like (and go like), plus how good would it be to see 10+ legnums cruzing around welly chur!

So i hope to see a few fat legnums on the 20th! I know your out there! I see vr4's everywhere in wellington!

P.s if anyone has any more ideas then throw it out there!

Sorry to hear that. Haven't heard from either Rosco_NZ or Robotnik123 who all came to the last meeting. Will PM them to get their a$es moving.

Dixon8 will be a starter and hopefully Dreddy can be contacted to get along too. Really would like to see his car in the flesh as it looks cool in the pics.

A regular meet would be a good idea, but not sure about monthly, could be a bit too often, maybe. :inquisiti Bi-monthly at a regular time, say third Saturday or something like that.

OK here's a rather poor (and small) selection of pics from our little get together on the 20th for the 'SpeedTech' offical opening.

Sorry Futera, you'd gone by the time I got out to get a couple of pics. Next time mate. Pleased you got along though.

15260
Cars are: mine (VR4 MAD), Rosco_NZ and Dixon8

15261
Reverse of above......doh

And a sample of some of the cars on display inside. That's the 1000BHP GTR Skyline thats been on TV before. Sorry didn't take a pic of the worlds second fastest Galant over the quarter mile, an old school EVO 6G model. It was doing dyno demos through out the day and was getting about 540kW at the wheels IIRC. And sounded really really cool too.........

For those in Aucks, it's appearing at Meremere this coming weekend to try to gain the top stop for Galants. BTW the fastest Galant currently is in Puerto Rico of all places /pan

15262

Also spotted outside just as I was leaving was the black 'monsta' we've had pics of during its' build. The owner was telling me it's going to do the Auto Salon circuit.

Anyway enjoy..................

TURN OUT WAS A BIT DISAPPOINTING:sad3:

COULD HAVE HAD A FEW MORE FRONT UP TO THE MEET.

MAYBE NEXT TIME, PASS THE WORD AROUND AND HOPEFULLY WE MAY GET A FEW MORE TURN UP.

AHh! The mrs's had a run in with one of those concrete blocks in the parking lot today.... cracked the front lower lip clean thru.... :bigcry: hopefully i can hot glue it or something as its quite a clean crack and it will be ok:thinking: , but man im glad she told me while i was at work so i had time to calm down.:rifle:

might be a good excuse to move the numberplate onto the lower lip (to hide the crack...)

d i c k i e s
24-01-2007, 10:45 AM
ohhhh nah.. took me awhile to get over my one! its still there... im saving it for when i have enough funds to paint the car. save me getting it done and painted and then painted to its new colour. The mrs wants to fix it, which is fair enuff... but i told her nah i want to paint it first.

im free this weekend! maybe too short notice tho? i cant do next weekend if ur were wanting to do it then. ohhh i can. but ill be tired as hell tho... goin up to hams (hamilton) next week back on friday night. i maybe able too tho. just hope i aint tired!... hahaha.

did u get him to sign up? to the forums... maybe we will get to see mor of him around!

I tried...........I did ask and we've left club details for him at the panel shop where the body work was done in the past.

He said he's visited the forums to have a look around but he's not a 'club' kind of guy I think. Just wants to go and do his own thing. But he did say that he'll keep visiting the site, so who knows, maybe he'll join at some future time.

Also he said that the mods to his car (excluding the actual car purchase), have cost him way over $15,000.........so far. :speechles

Bought the car, 1st June last year and the car went into the panel shop on the 2nd and he didn't get it back till just a bit before Christmas. /JawDroppi

Not sure I could be without my VR4 for that long, though Bradc probably can relate to that time frame /STP .....................and Kieran too. /pan


So where & when sould we try again ( dare i say lol) i'm thinking mt vic on sat afternoon? Yes/no?

Well I'd be keen enough........any excuse to get the car out for a run :speechles

Not sure about a regular meeting though. If the interval between is to short people will run out of ideas of things to do and places to go and thus stop coming. Better to have less meetings than too many...........what say everyone else?

OK then, the weather forecast isn't that good for Saturday but is going to improve so lets say we meet 2pm at the top carpark on Mt Vic (where we met for last years little get together).

Dixon8 can't make Saturday but could make a Sunday meet if that was when we got together.

How are others placed for either day? We should meet on the day the most people can get there. I'm good for either day, but not too early on Sunday though. Mid afternoon is good.


But vr4 mad is right thou there isn't that much to do here aye! There is a open day at manfeild in april!

Well we discussed going up to the 'Import All Stars' drag meet at Taupo on Feb 17th at last weekends SpeedTech get together.
Here's a LINK (http://www.eventfinder.co.nz/2007/feb/taupo/new-zealand-performance-car-magazine-import-all-stars.html) to more info on the event.

This seemed a good idea cause we could meet a group of our Aucks members if they came down. A sort of mid-island meeting.

I haven't posted this idea to them yet cause the Auckland guys have a 'workshop' day on the 18th. Not sure if they would want to do two things in one weekend, though they could re-schedule the workshop day I suppose.

Just an idea.

Any other ideas or suggestions.....................:inquisiti

If the weathers really sh**ty (ie raining and windy) then I'll most likely not go, If I know I'm not going with enough time, I'll post here before say 1pm to say so. So check here before leaving to go if the weathers 'iffy'.

IIRC came with the car.......along with quite a list of goodies. Has after market exhaust including downpipes, three layer radiator and 1.3 bar radiator cap, can't remember the brand of intercooler, maybe blitz? Blitz boost controller too. Plus it's a manual. /Grrr

It's his second VR4. Like me he had a pre-facelift silver one before upgrading to the better looking facelift version ........./STP

bradc
31-01-2007, 07:20 PM
Dunno, I just told them to do it, and it was part of the deal. The batteries that I got are expensive, I wanted to have two, one for the ice+lights and one for the starter motor so I can always start the car when I've been watching dvd's and stuff. I also wanted light weight batteries, and they needed to be laid down in the wheel well. I think they were like $200 each or something, plus all the cabling + fuse, etc.
