Final West Meet

[Zman]

Ok, I have a few weekends we can do this, I'll post about em later because I don't have a calendar right now.

Question is, where do we want it? Batavia or Rochester?

Please post when you're available. I know I can't make a meet the 20-21, or the first weekend in October. I wish I could have done this earlier and I apologize for the inconvenience but I'm damn busy now so my free time is very little.

October 12th, 1:30ish
Best Buy in Rochester, NY

[Cougarville]

Rochester is better for me. I am open for any weekend in September or October, unless Melissa and I are out looking at houses. I will try to do that this weekend (9/13 or 9/14). I am flexible though, just let me know when.

[01blkcat]

Either place is fine with me, but the beginning weekends in October will be better for me, as I'll have an opprtunity to request that date off from work (otherwise I'm stuck :( )

Oct. 12th in Rochester????

Works for me.

[Iceotron]

works for me as well

[LaserRedCat]

I think I can make it if it's after 1:00

P.S. I saw a nice looking 99 or 00 at RIT this afternoon. Had a drift kit, a cogar decal on the sides and back window. I left a note under the wiper with the fast cougar website.

[01blkcat]

Good for me, too.

[Zman]

Great, glad to see everyone is on board. Ok, we'll tentatively make it for about 1:30-2:00ish in Rochester, now the only question is where in Rochester? We visited a mall last year, that didn't go to bad.

FYI, I'll barely be available online over the next 2 1/2 weeks since I'll have a very full schedule, I'll probably find time to check here every other day but as of right now I don't know.

Also, in case anyone is bored on Sept. 20th, come up to Toronto to see Importfest, I'll be there.

[LaserRedCat]

The Best Buy at Marketplace mall is a good meeting place, even if we head somewhere else.

Jason, can you get us the employee discount?:biggrin:

[01blkcat]

I officially got Oct 12th off today... so I'm definitely in :)

Just let me know where to be, and I'll be there with a Cougar full of new goodies :biggrin: :biggrin:

[CouGRRRL]

Count me in!! the mall is only 15 minutes from my apartment. is it definately the 12th? I thought that Jason told me the 18th:shrug:

Guages, LEDs and Fuel door going on this weekend! :thumbsup:

[01blkcat]

No, I looked back at my logs, I told you the 12th :biggrin:

[01blkcat]

I sense Empire West unity here :) :biggrin: :tongue:

[Zman]

Cool, if you guys know anyone else with a Cougar tell them to come out.

[Iceotron]

I was told by Gill (gold coug, buying my SW front and rears bumpers) that he'd be in attendance.

[CougarStiled]

[CougarStiled]

sorry about that last one...i got a message on my car informing me of the meeting at best buy, ill be there!

[01blkcat]

Ken -- this might be bigger than the April meet in Batavia! :biggrin: :thumbsup:

[CougarKat]

I would love to check out other cougars.
How far is it from Buffalo? cus I have a cousin who is attending Buffalo college I can pay him a visit

I would need some directions starting from I-90 I think I have to get I-490 from there then what?

[01blkcat]

Rochester is about an hours drive from Buffalo... you just hop on the I-90, towards exits 1-47, IIRC...

[Zman]

Yeah, if someone wants to put up some decent directions/info about where we are meeting that'd be great. I'm just going to assume you take I-90 to the 390 and get off at maybe the 2nd or 3rd exit, I think that's where it is. Expect about an hour from Buffalo.

[CougarStiled]

if we are thinking of the same best buy...exit 46 on I-90 to 390-N, get off exit 13(hylan drive), make left at light, you will see it on left, probably first light.

[01blkcat]

There is only one Best Buy in Rochester/Henrietta -- that I know for a fact :biggrin:

Henrietta NY (Store 433)
2345 Marketplace Drive
Henrietta, NY 14467
Phone: 716-292-0250

[01blkcat]

1. Get on I-90, moving towards Rochester (toll) [55mi]
2. Get off at exit 46.
3. Merge into I-390. [1.5mi]
4. Get off at exit 13.
5. Turn left on Hylan.
6. Turn left on Marketplace.

[CouGRRRL]

perfect directions! :biggrin: I think the total toll is about 1.85 (it's 1.20 if you get get on at transit and off at exit 47/Leroy and take 490 to 390S) It's easy, If any of you get lost, call my cell 749-4527

[01blkcat]

You expect us to get lost? http://www.mdneco.com/smile/greddy.gif :biggrin:

[Iceotron]

wel, I'm just happy that we'll have a good turnout. And no need for directions...we have fearless leader. lol




Note: Even after our Cougar owning days, Ken will still be fearless leader in my book.

I'll second that... he has yet to get us lost ever... including the drive to and from CF :biggrin: :thumbsup:

[Zman]

Awwww, thanks :biggrin:

But you may not possibly have fearless leader to follow because I may already be in Rochester that weekend, I'll know for sure when we get closer.

[Iceotron]

booo :thumbsdn:

[CouGRRRL]

Ok.....I messed up my guages. If I don't get them fixed before, can someone help me put my new ones in at the meet? pretty pleeeeease???

so far, I'm really bad at this modding thing.........:cry:

[Iceotron]

what kinda guages? The speedo and rpm main guages? If so then yes bring them along. Takes me all of 20-30 mins to do them.

[CouGRRRL]

These are my guages: http://procarparts.com/productimages/MER-COU-9901-SVGL-XXV6-RGGX.jpg

[CougarKat]

those are some nice guages!
where you get em?

[01blkcat]

I'm going to venture out on a limb here and say she got them at ProCarParts.com, or on eBay... :biggrin:

Those are an easy install - Carl is right, about a half hour sounds good :biggrin:

You're right!!! Ebay/ProCarParts.....25 bucks and I love them!!!!
Do I need to remove the needles or no? 1st time I did....messed things up pretty bad:banghead: I can get into the cluster but then what? there's no directions....:shrug:
I'd just like to have them done before the meet.

[LaserRedCat]

You've got a pm from me, I'd be happy to try and get them fixed...

[01blkcat]

For 01/02, we have to remove the needles - it's a very simple thing to recalibrate once you reinstall them.

[CougarKat]

I went to Procarparts.com and found this which is not the same one as Cougrrrl posted

http://www.procarparts.com/product/MER-COU-9901-XXGL-XXV6-6GGX.JPG

[01blkcat]

Those are standard indiglo... she showed us reverse indiglo.

[CougarKat]

Probably the normal - show up and hang out :thumbsup:

[Zman]

Yeah, you know stuff, things, eating...

I really have no clue, we'll figure something out though :)

[LaserRedCat]

If anyone is into RollerBlades, bring them. My Skate club will probably skate around 5:00 if it's warm.
