Pittsburgh Meet August 6th at Boyce Park

[kylemorg]

OK... we've finally scheduled the Pittsburgh Meet...

Saturday, August 6 starting ~12:00 Noon in Boyce Park, Monroeville (just east of Pittsburgh). Feel free to bring cookout-type food as I believe there are charcoal grilles available in the park. After the park, we may split up into packs; some want to go to Dave 'n Busters, others to Hooters, others to the South Side, but we can play that by ear.


Here are the directions, courtesy of cbehage:
Monroeville (http://www.mapquest.com/maps/map.adp?country=US&addtohistory=&formtype=address&searchtype=address&cat=&address=&city=Monroeville&state=PA&zipcode=&searchtab=home)

Take the I-376 W / US-22 W exit- EXIT 57- toward PITTSBURGH / MONROEVILLE


It is right off of the PA turnpike 76. In Monroeville

Then to boyce park Map of boyce (http://www.mapquest.com/maps/map.adp?latlongtype=internal&addtohistory=&latitude=DIEW9GLNKK4%3d&longitude=SUEJmQkSkNc%3d&name=Boyce%20Park&country=US&address=675%20Old%20Frankstown%20Rd&city=Pittsburgh&state=PA&zipcode=15239&phone=724%2d733%2d4665&spurl=0&searchtype=search&q=boyce%20park&cat=Parks&qc=Parks)

i know im coming

i know im coming, btw dont u think it mite be a good idea if we assign or people can offer to bring certain food and we all have a cook out as lunch? just thought i'd reply with that

[Onelove5683]

Ill see you all there!

[Keyan]

I might be there....

Maybe.

[WHIPTCH]

I'm in... Let me know if you need any help.

[OPZ]

im ganna be there! hopefully...but yay!

[wildman92]

Put me down as a maybe. Depends on how things shake out over the next month.

[Nerraux]

Man...I just left Pittsburgh a year ago...Penn Hills, actually...Why couldn't I have found you guys back then?

Not to be snotty, but I grew up in Monroeville, and there's like 5 main locations (and any number of smaller ones) where people might meet at Boyce. You might want to be a bit more specific.

Side note to any mountain bikers going: There's some fun trail riding at Boyce. It's not stellar or highly technical, but definitely worth bringing your bike if you want to cruise in the afternoon.

. o O ( Maybe I'll talk the wife into letting me go )

[Onelove5683]

The bike trails at boyce are awesome...

the place we are meeting is easy to find. clear directions will be provided..

i go to boyce every nice day to read and chill.

[Kyrol]

Put me down as a strong maybe. I might have the ECU thats supposed to be out by then....

[yamaha]

Im def. in, what else do we need to binrg?

On a side note:How are you going to get the new ECU program, I'm still very curious about this.

[04GTboySC]

yamaha, check out the thread i made about bringing stuff for a cook out for lunch

[Kyrol]

Im def. in, what else do we need to binrg?

On a side note:How are you going to get the new ECU program, I'm still very curious about this.

Well not to junk up the thread it's supposed to be out this week. Now seeing as how I will be the first customer it should ship fast. I hope within 4 weeks they could get it to me if I have to pay for some upgraded shipping to make it happen I will. I already said even if the gains weren’t what they "claimed" or what the original poster put up. I would still get it cause it's everything I was looking for in an ecu. A reasonable price with the option of getting the software package and tuning it yourself. And even if it only makes 5extra hp at the wheel it’s better then nothing and since I live in the mountains it will help the car get along a little better.

[OdessitPashka]

Kyrol, please keep it clean. There is other threads where you can post.

[04GTboySC]

less than a month away guys

[Kyrol]

My brother and friend should be coming as well..
Brother: integra
Friend: cavy

[ArunSenior04]

Put me down as a maybe. Gotta see where I'm at in cash.

[kylemorg]

OK... I've reserved the Hillcourt Pavillion. Once you're in the park on the one road that loops thru, you can't miss it; it's the one with all the white tubes sticking out of the ground all around it at the one end of the loop road.

Here are some fairly detailed directions for those of you coming via the turnpike:

1. Exit the turnpike at exit #57 (Pittsburgh / Monroeville).

2. After you pay your toll, you want to take the leftmost ramp to "Business 22 Monroeville"

3. The ramp will deposit you on the 4-lane Business 22 West. Immediately after getting onto Business 22, you want to take the right on to Route 48 North at the first light.

4. You'll stay straight on 48 for about 1/2 mile through two intersections. You'll pass through a light on 48, stay straight.

5. You'll then come to a stopsign on your way down a hill at Duff Road. There's a sign pointing to your right for Boyce Park -- DO NOT GO RIGHT ON DUFF ROAD; it's bumpy and very poorly marked. Continue straight through the intersection at Duff road and continue down the hill.

6. About 1/10 mile further, the road splits where it effectlively dead ends into Center Road -- you want to take the Y to the right and proceed onto Center Road.

7. You'll proceed about 1/2 mile, passing "O'Block" playground on your right. At the crest of the hill, there's an entrance with a sign to Boyce Park on your right. Turn Right to enter the park then go right on the loop road.

8. The road pretty much dead-ends at the Hillcrest shelter where all the strange white tubes are sticking out of the ground. The park road is pretty much a "C" shape, so if you get lost, just go the other way around the loop and you'll get there eventually.


If anyone gets lost on their way, I'll take my cellphone with me and have it turned on during the morning of August 6th. Call me at 412-225-0321 on the day of the event if you get lost.

Jim (Kylemorg)

Also, I can probably put up one person on the night before or after the event if necessary -- I just have to check with the wife. If it means the difference of someone coming or not, PM me and let me know and I'll check with "She who must be obeyed." :rolleyes:

[04GTboySC]

wow thats awfully nice of you to do that. hey kyle would u feel comfortable maybe meeting up right near the toll booth so we can all cruise into the park together?

[Onelove5683]

great man, that pavilion is gonna be awesome! i cant believe u got it... reserves for north park are on 1 yr waiting lists for pavilions hahahhaha

[SuperGLS]

Coolness.

And, I'm serious, I'll sleep in my car (saves money), I just need a shower for Sunday morning.

[yamaha]

If you need a place to stay and shower, my house is open to you.

[04GTboySC]

[04GTboySC]

[ArunSenior04]

Can someone please post a roll call so we can at least estimate on how much to bring?

I can bring some sodas and possibly my small grill. I havent addressed the ant problem yet. :)

[SuperGLS]

Damn, I told you we should have went this week, the Citgo Bassmaster Classic is there this weekend, haha.

[kylemorg]

I just hope we have as nice weather for the meet as we did yesterday.

[04GTboySC]

well i was glad it wasnt this weekend, i had to go to a family reunion in north carolina yesterday i just got back now

[silversharkXD2]

cool. finally a pgh meet. at least one that i've noticed. just got my elantra, beat up and ready for restoration. but maybe I'll show up with my tib just to meet the elantra crowd. the tib is beat to hell, dont want to upkeep the body kit because of pending legal issues, but it used to look good. moving into my new house but im sure i can squeeze in the time to show up for a little while.
hope to see you guys there.

anyone have opinions on the GUDE turbo. thinking about it for my first upgrade to my elantra.

if anyone wants to see my tib before the road rash and the damage the edgeworth police caused to the rear bumper. click here...

http://www.evofusionusa.com/TeamSR/Hyundai/00tiburon-cuda2kit.html

yeah yeah....I know. but I got a great price on the kit and it got pics of my ride on a nationally known aftermarket site for hyundai parts...
and I have only had minimal problems with Brad.

(anyone from pittsburgh might notice that the pics are up at the west end overlook)

[yamaha]

Looks killer, even if you dont have the XD, bring the Tib, I sure would like to see it. Welcome to the site also!

[silversharkXD2]

Thanks. not to hijack the thread, but I am looking forward to tuning the elantra. the tib is just a pain cause of the MAF. plus my car has lots and lots of problems. problems I am not legally allowed to discuss yet. cant wait to start researching my elantra, starting with suspension work. the gls just doesnt handle like a tib. anyone going to pittsburgh import fusion? just in case I am to busy moving to make it. anyone interested in starting a hyundai "convoy" to it please email me.

once again...sorry for the hijack. its hard not to add extra stuff when your new to a board and lookin to make friends. :)

[yamaha]

Hit me up on AIM sometime, I would like to speak to you from there, or a PM would do. :)

[Keyan]

Looks easy enough to drive...:)

[kylemorg]

Yes, it's a very easy park to get to. It's only ~3 miles from the Monroeville Pennsylvania Turnpike exit. If anyone has trouble getting there, I will have my cell phone with me and turned on, so if you get lost, call and I (or Onelove5683, who's also familiar with the Monroeville, PA area) can either direct you to the park or come and find you.

[Keyan]

One day to go people....:)

[kylemorg]

My Cell phone number is 412-225-0321. I'll have it on all morning tomorrow.

[SuperGLS]

Guys, I might want to go to the Dodgers game on Sunday morning. Anyone up for that? I went last night at the Nats beat up on them, now I'm sad. I need to see them win.

Cheap seats are only $9 (plus stupid fees I'm sure).

[Onelove5683]

at PNC park? go there... its nice.

btw its raining now, but supposed to be sunny sat and sun

[04GTboySC]

yea, there's a front supposedly going through and going to end up down here in va tonight

[Keyan]

someone needs to help me with my multigauge install !

:(

[SuperGLS]

someone needs to help me with my multigauge install !

:(

No problem.

Does anyone have a big enough rachet to take off the rear drums? Mine are still squeeking.

Nobody wants to go to the baseball game?

[evan938]

i think i might. ill try to grab it. is it the same size as the nut on the axle on the front? caus i know i tightened those down and it was a perfect fit. also, can you grab some more exd cards i can buy from you @ the meet? i found my star bit as well, so ive got everything we need for the steering wheel. you did get it right?

[SuperGLS]

No... I don't think he even sent it. He said he sent me an email with the tracking number which I never got, and I sure as hell didn't get the package. I live in an apt complex and when you aren't home they leave a note on the door and the package at the office, so it should have been here. Oh wells I guess.

SEE EVERYONE TOMORROW.

[evan938]

**** that, thats ****ty. i was lookin forward to installin a wheel

hm. hopefully it comes. ill show you the socket you need. its only like 3$

[OPZ]

I think i found the right directions to get down there, 68 to 79, and then 79 down to 76 (the turnpike) so hopefully i'll get down there in time...

[Keyan]

Ok guys, it's 5am and I'm getting ready to go this hour...


THERE BETTER BE ****IN STRIPPERS FOR YOU GUYS TO MAKE ME DRIVE THIS FAR!

hahahah.

Ok. let me think..

car. check.
clothes. check.
girlfriend...check.
food...buying in PA.


I'm all set.
:)


See every one around noon / 1.

[evan938]

super- if you see this in time, grab a stack of EXD cards so i can get some from you @ the meet

like 100 or so

evan

[Leviathant]

I had to cancel, my wife and I have to go down to baltimore for a reshoot of a film down there, kind of unexpected. Sorry guys :( I really wish I could have gone, this weather is AMAZING.

[cbehage]

Hope you guys had fun. Wish I could have gone.

[mrhoaf]

I had a great time today at the meet!


We had 15 Hyundais (not counting the random guy in an XD who stopped for a minute). I didn't get a head count, but I think there were about 20 or so people there... We also had plenty of good food. The weather was great... not too hot, not too humid...

Keyan put his "new, yet strangely familiar" wheels on, Evan chopped someone's antenna (Yamaha's I think), and I trimmed 04GTboyVA cargo cover with a dremel. (he had fitment issues after installing a rear strut bar)


Anyone who wasn't there missed a great meet!


My brother-in-law will be posting the pics he took soon...

[Onelove5683]

Todays Meet Was Great!


Thanks to everyone who came to pittsburgh! Was a lot of fun, and awesome to finally meet you guys after like 3 years..

Thanks for the awards and stuff, and thanks to Kylemorg and his wife for doing so much work for today. Really good time.

:)

[evan938]

and i threw a pop bottle and ****ed up someones hood. i know its comin, so ill just say it now.

like i said yamaha, let me know when you find out what its gonna cost, & ill send you the $

it was a GREAT meet. i got some pics, but im gonna wait for the panoramic pic to come up so we can use it for a sig

and that was a hell of a drive, but 3 horus for 15 cars is worth it

and no matter what he says, dont let james give you directions, especially in a state he isnt from

[mrhoaf]

Randy is working on the panorama pic right now.... it's looking awesome....

he's gonna do a version with and without everyone's screen names, but there's a little problem....


the tib... he's not a member here......

i'm thinking maybe arrange the names in a way that it's not obvious that there isn't a name associated with his car.....

[Onelove5683]

tib guy said he'll join

[ArunSenior04]

The meet was cool. It was cool conversating with jesse and the GT-$54 subs- cams guy over music. You guys surprised me with the kind of music you guys liked.

LOL at EvAn for hitting YamahaS car. It waS like slow motion. HahAhaha...T.

The 4 hr dirve was definately worth it.

[Onelove5683]

It was cool conversating with jesse and the GT-$54 subs- cams guy over music.

The meet was cool. It was cool conversating with jesse and the GT-$54 subs- cams guy over music. You guys surprised me with the kind of music you guys liked.

[OPZ]

This meet was freaking sweet, lets hope for a repeat next year!

[SuperGLS]

Once again, this was great. Thanks everyone.

And for those that could have stopped by and didn't, I'm sorry.

[04GTboySC]

i'd have to agree, this meet was defintly worth the drive, thanks again kyle for all the hard work you put into this and yahama thanks for letting me and super stay at your parents place then show us around pittsburgh. I will be uploading my pictures shortely.
