Big Northwest Meet 2011 Picture Thread

So who had the turbo 1st gen dark grey wagon with a front mount?

[kimokalihi]

I was wondering the same thing. It was pretty nice and I've never seen it before.

[Danny-G]

I've seen that wagon on another site before. I think it was nwallwheeldrive.com but I'm not certain right now.

[Mattheww044]

glad I could meet more of you guys, I BETTER have my clutch done by WCSS. It's so damn hard to put aside money since I'm working out of town but driving back and forth everyday, and I keep finding good deals on other small stuff. O well I almost have everything now and SHOULD be done with it by WCSS. Hopefully the tranny lasts that long with the HD clutch haha

[Mattheww044]

I seem to have snuck in unnoticed. Have yet to see any pictures with my car in it.

My friend was sitting in my car though because of his allergies, and apparently someone was flipping out about how awesome it was

damn dude I didn't see you there either. I didnt expect for that much of the LC crew to show up and since I didn't have my car, nobody knew who I was haha

[kimokalihi]

Yeah it's too bad we're always so unorganized. We could have had at least half a row of 1st gens.

[Mattheww044]

yea we should have all met up close by at a parking lot and drove in at once. Anybody who is worth a Sh*t in my eyes would have been speechless haha. I can't stand how some of these kids are like 16 and just get an STi and throw a bunch of Monster and DC stickers on there, don't even know what a Sport Sedan or Touring Wagon is

[SILINC3R]

^ exactly
well we learned from our mistakes and now we will be more prepared for WCSS i hope.
oh and Jake knows who owns the wagon, it used to be his or atleast i think that is what he said.

[Mattheww044]

So Tony that red one u brought was a new SS im guessing?

[kimokalihi]

The problem with the parking lot thing is everyone shows up at different times. I got up 2 hours early for the show and still arrived 2 horurs late.

[SILINC3R]

that is correct Matt, lots of work to be done. now i just need to find some money laying around. it was great to see all the different SS's and Florin somehow I didnt pay attention to the fact that the front end was pre and the rest was post . very nice once you get it painted.

[Florin1]

Lol. Don't know how you guys missed that. Guess i should update my build journal.
As for the wagon. Her name is Rachael. Car is a full ej20g swap. I'll tell her to drop in here and say hi.

[kimokalihi]

Did she do it herself?

[91legacyawdturbo]

sweet pics loving the SS's, the wcss show is there a huge turn out?? I'm thinking about going out there from colorado.

[Mattheww044]

the WCSS is huge, and much more eventful. It's pretty much camping for a weekend, with hundreds of subies. Car shows, raffles, etc. There usually is a mud pit but I heard that won't be happening this year

[92.Legacy.SS]

WHAT!!!! i want mud!!! damn it even tho my tires are in my fenders lol i still want it!!!!!

[kimokalihi]

I missed the show last year. Would have been fun to see but you wouldnt catch me in it.

[92.Legacy.SS]

but its just so tempting lol depends on how deep it will be lol

[Falken-18c]

i wanna see an 1st gen legacy in the mud sounds like fun

[Florin1]

It was really deep last year. And even worse, it was kind of mud, but more dry dirt. So it sucked because it was dusty and peoples cars were getting hurt because of it.

[Mattheww044]

Yea I pitted my car, it was covered in mud for about 2 weeks after that cu I didn't wanna wash it haha. I bought a stupid cheap ass TB coupler from autozone and it slipped under the clamp somehow when I was in the pit

[Danny-G]

I remember that. I was in line to go out when that happened.
And someone got a icture of me while I was in the mud.

Heres my after shots.


It was great fun but you gotta wash the wheels and axles right away or everything is totally out of balance, no fun there.

[Danny-G]

As I learned the hard way, wash the wheels and axles off right after you're done. That stuff dried on like cement and the whole car was out of balance, took me like three or four hours to get the wheels and axles cleaned after it dried on. And it got on my raditor fans too and blew the fuses for them which almost caused an over heated 2.2.

[Falken-18c]

good thing you had you windows up i seen videos of like wrx with windows down that woul,d be a nice mess to clean up and also nice pics

[Mattheww044]

haha I think the WRX u were talking about was my friend's that I was riding in. Blue bugeye with rhino-liner?
