So, As the meet gets more interest and more people are wanting to come down to the next meet in march a new location is required / asked for to make it a little easier for other members.
The two options are:
The Greenhopper

The Coombe Lodge

By the way, I'll only be able to make a meet after 18th March.
I'm away on holiday from 2nd :pomppomp:
-
Ok, we'll make sure after the 18th! I said late march because it will be a little warmer which means everyone isn't freezing
If everyone replies to this with vote on location and just one of the following dates:
MARCH
23
24
25
APRIL
2
3
4
-
March 24th or 25th please!! :happy2:
-
24th or 25th is good for me too :happy2:
Dave
-
24th & 25th are fine for me
-
3 votes? Come on people! :pomppomp:
-
This is wholly based on my own opinion so please just hear me out....
Personally, i'm not seeing the need to discuss change of venue (just yet) as last meet was only 5 of us and I doubt we'll get a massive increase on numbers.
Once we get to double figures and we can more or less "expect same numbers going forward", then Coombe may not be sufficient, but for now i think its o.k.....
-
:signLOL: is it the Greenhopper or the Grasshopper :laugh:
-
It's the Grasshopper!
I don't mind which one it's at, I prefer the GH because it's closer, has some lovely roads and there is a ton of room, but I'm happy to go with the majority.
-

where you travelling from again?
-
Oxted
-
i see, duly noted
-
Well i'm looking at a 40 minute drive to coombe lodge or a 55 minute drive to green/grass hopper :signLOL: so obviously i'd prefer coombe and like was said further up it doesnt look like the numbers warrant a larger car park and extra travelling for us that are further away as setting a slightly earlier time would mean an emptier car park by the sounds of it, and would like to pop down and have a chat and see some nice GTI's :wink:

24th or 25th, but I'd prefer 25th.

Where is the Grasshopper?

please revert to 1st post!

The Coombe Lodge would be better for me :happy2:

I will definitely be there :happy2:
-
Good stuff, also noticed Little Dave is stage 2+ :party:
-
:happy2: its picking up a little! Im wondering whether to go stage 2 so that would be good! Getting downpipe fitted on wednesday :jumpmove: but still need to check my dv :sad1:
-
I will defo go stage 1 (and would hope to end it there), but stage 2 is tempting me :drool: :drool: :drool:
-
Thats why im tempted to go revo as id have stage 2 and base where you can switch between the two stage two seems perfect power and torque wise but id want something sensible for town. i want to check out (insert name here when i remember but they are based in leist) as they do a custom stage 2 with launch control and some other goodies for cheaper than revo and i think you can change between the map and base
-
R-tech!!!! :rolleye:
-

certainly am :evilgrin: got used to it now tho until I go in a standard or stage 1 GTI then it's like the first day all over again :signLOL: :driver:

APR also offer adjustable maps now! That's what I'm running now :happy2:... No longer have Revo!
-
hmmmm interesting, you running stage 2 plus base? I've always thought REVO seems a little "aggressive" compared to other maps so would prefer to get APR. Where did you get your's done?
-
What makes a car stage 2, is it a remap after other stuff has been done or is it a combination of having things done?
-
Is the APR switchable via the Cruise stalk?
-
Stage one is typically just a remap perhaps with a filter, stage two you need intake, exhaust (downpipe) and remap. Stage 2+ typically sees the addition of an intercooler.

Stage 2+ is additional code to make use of an upgraded hpfp :happy2: I'm running this setup without an uprated intercooler at the moment as I don't drive like I stole it very often so don't suffer from heat soak
May get a twintercooler fitted in the future when funds allow tho :wink:
Dave
-
I stand corrected, completly forgot about the fuel pump :ashamed:
-
Hi Guys,
I got so interested in reading about your maps n' mods, I nearly forgot to ask if there's any news on the meet!
Cheers,
Ian. :happy2:
-
hey, well stick a vote in for either coombe or grasshopper and then pick a date between the 24th and 25th, majority wins :happy2: im still definitely up for a meet and hope everyone else is :smiley:
-
:smiley: we've had 8 votes, so there should be 9 or 10 hopefully at this meet 50/50 though on location. Just want to check is everyone happy going to the majority place? so people who voted for coombe happy to drive to grasshopper if need be and visa versa?
-
So is this on the 24th or 25th? 24th is preffered to me. I'm happy with either location but the grasshopper would be better imo :happy2:
-
I've already voted for grasshopper, and I'd prefer 25th, but can do either. Shame its not a couple of weeks later, my remap is booked in for 2nd April. :sad1:
Looking forward to meeting you all and checking out the motors :happy2:
-
Shall we settle on the 25th?
We need one more vote to decide the venue!!
Nez, do you want to choose the date?
-
Im happy with the 25th, plus being a sunday gives everyone enough time to much around on saturday etc etc
one more vote and we'll call it based on that so could be either coombe or grass :P
just to let you all know ill be fitting cruise control this weekend hopefully, i plan on taking a whole sunday to do it so once i've done it and coded it and confirm it works I'll let you know and if you want to get yours done ill do it for a few beer tokens :drinking:
-
On account of the 4-4 stalemate, I removed my Grasshopper vote and voted for Coombe Lodge!
So that's 5-3 then!
So is it safe to say that it's a 12.30 meet at Coombe Lodge on Sunday 25th March? (sorry, but the suspense was killing me!) :popcornsoda:
Looking forward to it.
-
Haha good call.
Deal.
Everyone else to confirm? sjould be a really good meet and weather looks fantastic so hoping the sun will be shoning!!!!
-
Might be there too, if I remember. do you get food?
-
:happy2: try and make it should be a really good meet. can do they serve some pretty good grub.and beer for good money! Burgers are :jumpmove:
-
Confirmed :happy2:
-
Yep defo still up for this :party:
25th @ Coombe Lodge it is then :happy2:
Dave

:happy2: awsome!

Went to the purley meet yesterday, was actually quite good - some really really nice old mk's and a really lush looking ford anglian that was slammed with huge dish! Am gunna go next week I think if anyone else is? the only problem is there are these twatty moped drivers that drive full throttle at you or inchs next to your door.. One didnt even have a back brake light and what looked like a torch on the front f***ing idiot - he will either kill himself or someone else.
-
What do you guys do at these coombe meets?
-
general meet i guess, discuss / suggest / show & tell ? basic meet stuff. Although i think im gunna get some food this time :happy2: plus its always handy to know a few people in the local area that you can share problems with or eventually ask for favours etc etc
-
lil bump :smiley:
-
What time is the meet scheduled for? :happy2:
-
25th this month 12.30 coombe lodge :happy2: Hope you can make it!
-
