2nd Annual MD Spring Meet 3/29/14

[xoSubieLegacyxo]

"The Official Maryland Meet"

That time of year is upon us, and this meet has officially become an annual event. You are invited to join us at the 2nd Annual Subaru Legacy International's Maryland Meet in the beautiful Centennial Park in Ellicott City, MD. Last year was a huge success with numerous year and models of Legacys. We will gather around eleven in the morning for some socializing before we begin grilling up some grub for lunch. Later on in the day we will have more time to talk, and even take some pictures including a picture containing every model of Legacy (if we can).

We are planning to use the facilities grilles for lunch, but we need everyone's help. Below is a food list that contains all the necessary items that would benefit the meet, and if you could graciously help by picking up an item on your way to the meet. We will also take some donations toward the forum, so events like this can keep going. If you have any questions or comments please post on this thread, or PM me. Thanks and we'll see you there!

- Chad

[dplacencia]

I am looking forward to this. Hey this time guys I promise to bring the 97 LGT. So for those of you that want to see it in person it will be there....

[Muse]

Going to try my hardest to make it.

[geckoboy86]

I'm in with my Outback. I can bring a case of water!

[amgarrety]

Put me down for a cooler with ice. I can bring a cooler with ice. Coolers with ice are my jam.

[geckoboy86]

^ Last time I did that it spilt over in my trunk.

[amgarrety]

I'll be careful.

[geckoboy86]

Actually, that happened on the Danville Meet when we(Chad, yourself, and myself) stopped at the Sheetz when we got on 15. It was all over the place...LOL

That was a great trip.

[amgarrety]

Hahaha I remember that! That was unfortunate.

[Rubie_25GT]

I will be there for sure

[98legwag]

Put me down for charcoal. Still have the extra bag from last year.

[xoSubieLegacyxo]

Lists are updated. Can't wait for this date to get here already! lol

[dplacencia]

It was a lot of fun last time...

[Dead91silvia]

Nice! I think I'm good on this date, as far as I know. I'm already starting on funds saving for this. now I have a deadline. :smile:

If I'm there and there are any other veggie people, I should have ya covered. :smt023

And all you meat eaters... leave me alone! :smt021

:smt005


I'll formally commite to bringing food as soon as I have my plane ticket. :smt023

Robin is a true Vegetarian. I think I dropped one of your veggie burgers by accident, and he picked it up (grass and all) and put it back on the grill. haha I'd love to see you back again this year!

[Dead91silvia]

HAHA! I'm planing on it.

Cant drive though. A ballpark estimate on cost would be $800-1000. Flying is about $400-450. I think I know what one I'm doing.

[amgarrety]

Dismantle your car and ship it piece by piece. It might not all be here this year, but 2015's MD, you better bet that thing will be sitting in the circle.

[Dead91silvia]

HA! It might be a Baja turbo by that time, if I can help it. :lol:

I should have try it-a grass fed veggy burger!

[thenines']

If I head down this year-I'll make sure to color my hair-PLEASE BURN THAT GROUP SHOT! If the weather is good-I might take my sedan out of winter storage early.

[xoSubieLegacyxo]

HA! It might be a Baja turbo by that time, if I can help it. :lol:

And I might have a Project 818 car. lol

[thenines']

[thenines']

I'll just pick you up-after I kidnap Shane :grin:

[Muse]

Haha! Okay, sounds good to me! Seriously, if I can't drive myself, I'll probably ride down with Rob. But I reeeeeally want to take my own car.

[xoSubieLegacyxo]

I wish I could bring more then one car. I currently have 5 subarus....

[fireman2101]

I'm trying to make it. Bringing the 05 lgt wagon. A major upgrade from the 91 ss from last year. Could bring my 93 wagon if we need a first gen to rep.

If this crap-road salt- is "relatively" cleaned up-I'll be bringing my '91 FWD sedan.

I'm about to buy plane tickets. :grin:

[xoSubieLegacyxo]

Woot woot

[dplacencia]

Nice!!!

[xoSubieLegacyxo]

List is updated to all who said they were or might be attending. Still need some volunteers to bring some items for the cookout.

[98legwag]

I may get brother to come. This time I will tell him he has to bring his 05 STI and not his Jetta.

[Yamazaki]

We'll probably bring some Japanese food like we did last year. However, instead of Tonkatsu we may opt for Okonomiyaki. We'll see what we feel like making the day before.

[Dead91silvia]

I may get brother to come. This time I will tell him he has to bring his 05 STI and not his Jetta.

Jetta would be unforgivable! :smt021





:grin:



I'm sure I'll be able to bring something food wise. Kinda hard to tell when I'm still not there... Maybe chips? I dunno.

[98legwag]

Jetta would be unforgivable! :smt021

He showed up for a few mins last year in the Jetta. I understand 100% why he got it. 500hp STIs get crap fuel econ. A 5spd TDI Jetta Wagon on the other hand is pretty easy on fuel. He said he got about 55 mpg on a trip from MD to Indiana and back.

[Hinyo]

uhm. idk if im on the list yet but ill be there. WITH lucy *crosses fingers* waiting on parts

[Hinyo]

also Robin don't gripe to hard on the jetta's I drive one now... great mpg must say

[xSCARSx]

Who will be attending in a turbo car?

[rkrenicki]

Yamazaki will be reppin the turbo for sure..

[98legwag]

Fireman2101 has an 05? LGT wagon.

[Yamazaki]

Who will be attending in a turbo car?I thought you posted that you were coming. Isn't your car turbo?

Yamazaki will be reppin the turbo for sure..
Both single- and twin-... :grin:

[dplacencia]

I have 3 turbo subarus...

[xoSubieLegacyxo]

I could bring the WRX, but everyone wants to see my Outback. But we could disassemble the WRX bits and make the outback boosted. haha

[98legwag]

I have 3 turbo subarus...

3?! The LGT wagon, wrx, and what else?

[xSCARSx]

Yes mine is. I was just wondering who else's is turbocharged :)

[amgarrety]

Didn't you see his new toy? :twisted: There's a MR1 thread for it.

Do you mean his 05 GT Limited wagon? Or is there something I missed and still could not find?

[Dead91silvia]

You must not know me too well... I hate them with the intensity of a 1000 suns :smt005

I'll give respect to TDI's though. They are pretty reliable, unlike their petrol brothers. :smt023

Yup. I missed that.

[fireman2101]

Fireman2101 has an 05? LGT wagon.

I do have an 05 and should be in it. A friend might come along in his 05 gt sedan too.

[dplacencia]

Yes guys I have a modified 06 spec b pushing 300 whp... Its a lot of fun to drive... Total subarus at the house 6.... lol lol

[rkrenicki]

54 Days remaining!

[xoSubieLegacyxo]

Still need some food donations for the cookout. If we don't have any donations we'll make some sort of fast food run, or drive to the local eaten establishment.

[rkrenicki]

I can bring something, but I will have to buy it when I am down there. I will pick something that has not been dibbed when the time gets closer.

[dplacencia]

I can bring some soda....

[amgarrety]

I can bring something, but I will have to buy it when I am down there. I will pick something that has not been dibbed when the time gets closer.

There is a supermarket nearby for anyone who wants to wait until they are in MD to buy the food they are bringing. Chad and I drove to it last year. If I remember correctly, it's less than 10 minutes from where we are meeting. It is a great option for anyone who wants to bring something that may not last the ride.

[chrish8r]

I put in for the day off at work so hopefully I get it.

Are we doing a cruise down 83 like we did last year? The reason I am asking is because that same morning, Hunt Valley Horsepower is having their second anniversary Cars and Coffee meet (https://www.facebook.com/events/741077222576981/?ref=2&ref_dashboard_filter=upcoming)(<---event link) from 8am to 10am. I don't know if people would possibly meet here instead and see some one of a kind cars(McLarens, Ferraris, Lamborghinis just to name a few).

Hmmmm. I may have to venture up to that.

[Lancaster6]

As of right now, I can definitely come. I'll let you know what I can bring as we get closer to the festivities. I don't want to set anything in stone just in case something comes up!

[86bratman]

So pencil me in, we're no longer short handed at work. Shouldn't have a problem getting the weekend off.

[geckoboy86]

Crap. My boss might decline my vacation. Ugh.

[Hinyo]

call out sick =D

Also since I live close

Ill bring some hamburgers and buns and some desserts. and since no one partook in and of the alcohol last year ill just bring some Pepsi/coke products any requests?

[dplacencia]

I was going to bring coke, and orange soda.

Does it use special dinosaurs fossils?

it runs on Sake and the tears of children.

Mixed with half a gallon of holy water. Regular tap water or even bottled water is insufficient.

[Muse]

Though you can limp through if it's distilled water, as long as it was distilled using the heat from burning first edition printings of Oliver Twist. But only in direst of emergencies. Don't do that for more than ten miles.

[98legwag]

I've finally scheduled time off for the meet. Now I need to go buy fuel for the S401!

Its some sort of mixture of 93 and race fuel I believe. Japan has better quality fuel than we do.

[TheGipsy]

so is europe
OCT 95 and 98 :)

Its some sort of mixture of 93 and race fuel I believe. Japan has better quality fuel than we do.Correct, the S401 takes US 96 octane, but there isn't a station even remotely close by that sells it so I mix 100 with 93 with slightly more 100 just to be safe.

[thenines']

Too bad I can't pick up any fuel up the road from my place-aviation fuel is what you need!

[thenines']

Don't think I'll be heading down this year-have nothing to offer anyone-and my cars are so low on the food chain it's not worth the gas money.

[rkrenicki]

:( Why would you say that? They are great cars!

My opinion of this type of event, the cars are nowhere near as important as the people who attend. You can have a parking lot full of cars anywhere.

[xoSubieLegacyxo]

That's no way to think of it. This isn't a car show that involves winning a trophy, or proving your car is faster then someone else. It's a time to get together with die heard fans of a car model, and talk about good or bad stories we've had while working on those cars. I respect your answers for not attending, but you don't need to offer anything. I think most members will be driving over 2 hours (and even further for some) just to spend an afternoon together.

TheGipsy's car is pretty fast from what I remember. I am trying to talk my brother into bringing his STI since his girlfriend lives about 15 mins from the park.

[Muse]

Actually, I'd like to see a race between the S401 and Rougeben86's swapped BE.

[Yamazaki]

TheGipsy's car is pretty fast from what I remember.This (Click) (https://sl-i.net/FORUM/viewtopic.php?p=320031#p320031) is what he said about that.

The S401 will take the Imprezaab off the line, but considering the S401 is limited to 112 mph and the Imprezaab will go until I get scared, the Imprezaab can quickly put some distance between the two.
Actually, I'd like to see a race between the S401 and Rougeben86's swapped BE.It'd be interesting, that's for sure. But ultimately the S401 would get trashed, for the same reason I stated above.

[Muse]

Oh, I meant like, around a track, not a drag. Drag racing is silly.

[Yamazaki]

Oh, I meant like, around a track, not a drag. Drag racing is silly.
It sounds like you need to go for a ride then.... you may change your mind on that.

The S401 would eat all on a track. I am 100% sure of this. Not only that, it would be so composed that you could enjoy a bit of tea and crumpets inside the car while doing so.

[Muse]

Well, I've ridden in Ben's car... and it was scary. That being said, I've no idea what the S401 is capable of.

[98legwag]

I've no idea what the S401 is capable of.
I do. Its very impressive.

I'd like to second this. Knowing how a BE race suspension normally feels (I have Tokicos), the S401 is totally different. He took me around a clover leaf at 60mph (?) and the car felt so stable. I personally was waiting for the tires to lose grip, but some how he kept it on the road. And then, on the road, it rides almost like a luxury car. It's a weird mix of stiff and soft at the same time.

[thenines']

I'm on the fence on wether I'm going-don't want to drive a stick shift down there again and with winter still here (march will be coming in like a lion!) driving a FWD subie is no fun-this car has seen only one winter in the ten years I've owned her only because my 4WD loyale was crushed by a tree that summer.

You should go. I can understand if you were concerned with costs (I remember how much it was to go up there!), but weather should be fine (you are going south afterall) and the vehicle shouldn't matter either (There were a few non-Subarus at the last one, remember?).
Ultimately, you should go if you feel comfortable doing so. That goes for anybody.

I would be heading down friday morning and back up sunday-still need to get Shane down there as well!

As tempting as this meet is, to do last meet for the outback, my side work may not let me.

[Muse]

Last meet? Is it going away?

[TheGipsy]

Well, I've ridden in Ben's car... and it was scary. That being said, I've no idea what the S401 is capable of.

S401 burns rubber in 1st 2nd and 3rd
and with all the power i have still does not mach the fun and ride quality of the S401
RESPECT THE STI !!!

[TheGipsy]

north of CT or on south CARAVAN ???
PLS LET ME KNOW in good time whom is interested

[dplacencia]

27 days to go for this. I will be bringing the 97 lgt out. It has been sitting in the garage for about 5 or 6 months. Time to let it air out. Lol

[rkrenicki]

TheGipsy: when are you planning to head down this year? thenines, Muse, and I are heading down on Friday.

[dodik]

Last meet? Is it going away?

yeah outback will probably be sold in summer and upgraded by a newer suby

[Yamazaki]

I REALLY hope the weather clears up within a few weeks. Because this is crap.
You know it's bad when an area that loves salt starts to run out of it. I cannot imagine the tonnage that I have driven my poor cars through this season... and I am certain you guys up in the New England area have it even worse.

*sigh*, I miss San Diego.... :smt010

[thenines']

Soon there'll be dredging the ocean floor just to spread it all over the roads!

[98legwag]

My county is out of salt. Roads are packed snow/ice.

[rkrenicki]

My car has a sheen of white dust all over it right now. It makes me sad, but every time I drive by a carwash, the line is practically out to the street..

The only real good thing is that my car does not get driven every day.. so its exposure to this crap is lower than everyone else.

[Muse]

I started the winter with a solid body, now I've got a hole about 2"x3" in my left rear quarter. Admittedly, there was some minor damage there, but still...

[thenines']

still not sure I'm going down this time

[TheGipsy]

TheGipsy: when are you planning to head down this year? thenines, Muse, and I are heading down on Friday.
Friday night 7pm ish , after traffic
We can meet up off the Merritt pkwy exit 40 @ 7:30
Keep me posted if this works for u guys

[98legwag]

still not sure I'm going down this time
You should at least hitch a ride with someone. Anyone coming in from out of town on Friday may want to check out Hunt Valley Horse Power in the morning before the SLI meet. Its about 45 mins north of Columbia MD in Hunt Valley MD of I 83. I may venture up to that.

[thenines']

7p.m.? was in MD at that time last year-driving at night on unfamiliar roads does not work for me

[rkrenicki]

Yes, 7pm is going to be well after I was planning on heading out. I was hoping to leave sometime before 10am if at all possible.

[xoSubieLegacyxo]

Been 4 months and I don't think my outback will be ready. Sad face :(

[ejvtec]

I might be there again this year (I was the loser with the lifted, camo outback wagon), if the wife can get off of work....if I do, I'll be in my new(ish) bh legacy, assuming the headgaskets hold up...

[ejvtec]

ha! I wish...

[Muse]

Do not underestimate the power of Subaru nerds in large numbers!

[rougeben83]

Muse, it's a compliment that youre even comparing my car to TEH S401. I've ridden Yama's car; it has such a meaty torque curve and great power delivery, and the ride and handling strike a perfect balance IMO. There's just something to be said about the attention to detail that a manufacturer-special edition model has that even the nicest of aftermarket builds just can't match...

Anyway, I'm 50% sure I can go; I need to find someone to cover my overnight so I can even think of being safe enough to do the roundtrip drive down there.

Anyone interested in co-driving my car? :smile:

[Muse]

Er. *raises hand very VERY high*
That is, if I'm not codriving for Thenines... Still not sure if she's going or not.

[Rubie_25GT]

I will be there with my legacy despite my bad headgaskets. Can't wait to see everyone!

[thenines']

I'm in-hope to take the sedan-though-It's going to get fitly before I get on the highway!

[amgarrety]

Hah this is my 3rd reschedule already. Don't worry, I'll make it fast!

[Muse]

Don't make it too fast, though. You wanna SEE the road, in order to make it to the meet!

[Yamazaki]

rkrenicki,
Would you please bring your hand-held radios again? I would like to see the difference in the S401, Impreza (on each tune), and the E500. The E500 has waaay more power than I originally thought and I think it'll beat the Impreza on low-power tune and be close to the S401....
thenines, Muse, and I are heading down on Friday.When are you planning on going back? I'd like to do the comparison not on the day of the meet.

[rkrenicki]

I am heading back on Sunday, same as last year. The time is a little more flexible this time around.

As for the radios, they havent moved or been used since you and MrLancaster used them last year, but I am sure I will need to charge them ahead of time.

[dplacencia]

So my 97 LGT is sitting in the garage cover badly in saw dust. We had the floors redone and they used the garage to do all the cuts. Now the garage is completely covered. I am not to happy about it.

[ejvtec]

only way to get the sawdust off is to drive the car fast...

[dplacencia]

That is what I was planning on doing. Taking it to work and using the blow gun then washing it...

[thenines']

When and where?

[dplacencia]

Well guys might be going to this meet in the Spec B....

[rkrenicki]

10 Day forecast is saying mid 50s for friday, and rain friday night. I know it is too far out to really hold that as true, but it is a relatively good sign that it will not be freezing ;)

If it rains, it'll be the 2nd year in a row for no S401 ride-alongs, so here's hoping for dry roads!

(although I am 100% sure the car can handle it, it is limited by the ability of the driver...and I don't like wet roads.)

[rkrenicki]

Your car, your rules. You don't need to justify it to us! :)

I am trying to dig up a third radio this time around too. If you want to do what you did last year, I think it would be more fair if a third person were to call "go". If I can find the microphone, I will likely use my car-mounted radio, and actually USE the NMO mount on my trunk for once.

I am thinking a more traditional- one person at the start says go, another at the finish to determine winner. The radios are for them.

But again - not if it's wet.

Looking like I should be able to make this. Hours at work have been pretty good this month.

I'll re-post this since it seems like it was forgotten...


Still need some volunteers to bring some items for the cookout.
We'll probably bring some Japanese food like we did last year. However, instead of Tonkatsu we may opt for Okonomiyaki. We'll see what we feel like making the day before.

[rkrenicki]

If your Okonomiyaki is anywhere near as good as your Katsu.. Then we are in for a real treat!

[dplacencia]

I know you guys are messing with me. I have not had time at all. Work, taking care of my daughter, water damage on the house and 2 long weeks of working on my old 02 wagon has taken a toll on me.

I find it amusing that of the three the Spec B is your DD. Seeing as when they were all new it was the most expensive/rare one. Granted the 05 and 97 are ridiculously clean. I am excited though. The Spec B is the one I have not seen yet.

People think I am crazy when I say the spec b is my beater. The wagon and my 97 are in way better shape then the spec b. I can get the spec b to look way better. I just have to drop some money into it...

I had washed my car last Saturday when it was super nice and spring-like out in preparation of the meet. Now there's tons of snow and salt and grime all over my car from this little storm that's still dumping snow on South Jersey. Dammit. :mad:
