East Coast MOD October 16, 2010


Ok guys here is the deal....

TriStateEvo setup their meet spots, now we can set ours at other spots. I can't stress this enough. PLEASE DONT BE LATE. Do everything you need to do to your car the day/night before and pack it up ready to go for saturday. We dont want to have people rushing to get to the meet up spot, because 9 out of 10 times the NJ Troopers will get you for speeding. Fact, NJ Troopers are scumbags and they especially HATE people from out of state.


New Jersey Meet Spot - Clara Barton Service Area - Mile marker 5.4 Oldmans Township, NJ. This rest stop is on the SOUTHBOUND side of the NJ Turnpike and its the last exit before the Delaware-Memorial Bridge. Anyone who is coming from north of this location, should meet up here. Lets meet up here AT OR BEFORE 7:45AM and be ready to leave at 8AM. Then we have a 10 minute ride to the next meet up spot (trust me this makes sense)

Harley-Davidson
2160 New Castle Ave
New Castle, DE 19720

This was a good choice (thanks IceDoutGaLanT) as it's accessible from both the Northbound and Southbound I-95 and it's right off the highway, it's the first exit after the Delaware-Memorial Bridge. This way the guys coming from the south and the guys staying at a hotel in DE can meet up here. We will meet up here at 8:15am and be ready to leave by 8:30am at the LATEST. Its only another 5-10 minute drive to MOD from this location. The Harley Dealer doesnt open until 10am, so we need to leave ON-TIME so they won't have a chance to ask us to leave.

The key idea here guys is to ARRIVE AT MOD TOGETHER. No half-assing this one. Also, some guys are like blah blah blah my car isnt show worthy, my car this, my car that, who cares? It's an owners day to show loyalty and interest in the brand. It's a day for us to meetup and chill. Im thinking after MOD is over, we get together and go grab some food then head back home.

[keith6110]

I'll be there, along with my 2 brothers each with their own car.

[Proto]

Put me down as a maybe (my name is George btw for those who haven't met me)

oh hai george.

[fatal1]

you better be there craig!!!!

[99galantES]

Put me down as a maybe gotta get my axles done this week and oil pump

[Jeffylou87]

I'm a definite.

[Isaurio]

[Stewi]

list updated.

I was just checking out the thread on TriStateEvo and they have 50+ names on their list already.

[keith6110]

Is this like a comparison between how many galants vs evo's show up? lol or just a head count?

[Galantfan88]

[Corey2kG]

Don't wanna risk my car messing up with my luck haha so I should be rollin with 99galantES.

[Proto]

I'll be meeting you all there, prob be there earlier than the main group.

[1992Galant]

I'm in.

[Stewi]

Is this like a comparison between how many galants vs evo's show up? lol or just a head count?

this is just a head count. I posted up about the EVO guys just to put it in perspective on how large this event will be.

[Stewi]

I'll be meeting you all there, prob be there earlier than the main group.

You should still try to meet us at the "pre-meet" so we can roll in together. The idea behind rolling in together is 1. its cool, 2. we can try to park together.

[Galanttuner10]

any ideas on a meeting spot yet brian? id meet you and some others prior as im coming from CT and i get lonely up here

[SkylineG1]

[1992Galant]

count me in Stewi.

[Exhaust power]

[asdfroflolmao]

You may just be the newest member going lol!

lol cant wait to show off the stockness. just did my first ever mod tonight. licence plate light blew out and replaced with a v-leds 6k LED.

[qnz]

For the people "on the fence" about going because their car is stock, is busted, is shy, or whatever reason, you should really come out to show Mitsubishi that we love our cars. We are all a friendly bunch here. There are no forum bullies or ass clowns on the East Coast. Just come out and enjoy the culture of Mitsubishi.

But what if the car busts on the way down or back? DE is a long way from Mass.

[Reelax]

You may just be the newest member going lol!

his join date says 2007.

[machvali]

I should be there if a buddy works for me that day

[mrjaydeeone]

I don't see why I wont be there. So what time are we looking at meeting/getting there?

[99galantES]

Is there anyone around mass or ct that wants to meet to head down?

[midnight]

i wanna go but i'm scared my car isnt ready for a trip like that.

[keith6110]

his join date says 2007.

lol oops.. I was just going by the number of posts. Even I'm newer than he is. All well, probably should have checked before I post.


Is there anyone around mass or ct that wants to meet to head down?

Depends of which way your going.. I would like to meet with a bunch of different members for the trip down.

[99galantES]

Same here ima have to google it to see I know there a few members in my area but don't know if they going

[Rach3T8G]

i realize how big of a deal this meet actually so i'll more than likely be there & im fully dropped now btw pics will be up soon

[1992Galant]

east coast mod is on facebook.

[Da_Prodigy]

Heading to NY on the 17th maybe ill head out 2 days earlier and meet you guys up but i doubt my mom is going to want to meet up a bunch of car fanatics >;O

[keith6110]

Heading to NY on the 17th maybe ill head out 2 days earlier and meet you guys up but i doubt my mom is going to want to meet up a bunch of car fanatics >;O

That would be awesome! Let us know if you plan on leaving early.

[Stewi]

list updated. Lets turn those maybes into YES I WILL BE THERE!!!! It would be nice to have 30 members there, I would be happy with 25 but 30 would be awesome.

[1992Galant]

I wonder how many people are coming from club 3g.

[Stewi]

there is very little activity in their thread, most those guys dont post up on club3g anymore, im not sure if they use another forum to coordinate their efforts or not.

[1992Galant]

k. There will a ton of people from the forums there

[Galanttuner10]

any ideas on a spot yet? i wanna make sure i dont get lost here brian

[mrjaydeeone]

any idea where or when meeting spots will be yet? here is the list of rest areas on the New Jersey Turnpike. I am down for anyone south of exit 11
http://www.state.nj.us/turnpike/our-roadways.html

[Stewi]

Lets figure that out next week as we get closer. TriStateEvo is having 2 of the rest stops as their meetup points, I would advise we dont use those spots do to congestion and possibly lack of parking because those guys are rolling 50+ deep.

[qnz]

I booked a double bed room in Downtown Wilmington, DE. A buddy flaked on me so the bed is open. If someone wants to split it with me, let me know

[kolio]

[Jeffylou87]

How much would you need Aaron?

[qnz]

Thanks how I like them


How much would you need Aaron?

$37 if youre by yourself. $57 for 2 people

[Corey2kG]

I'm dying to go weather the G dies or not but I have to get the ok from the wife:(
Although her sister is about to give birth n is going to Brooklyn for a week so maybe I'll just go lol.

[SkylineG1]

I sent you a text Aaron.

[SkylineG1]

Something to note people. Some GPS will not pick up on the address given by mitsu. This is due to the fact that they changed the name of the street. I went directly to the ballpark website & got this info

http://www.wilcoworld.net/shows/ballparks/wilmington/

Please read the directions listed by car & note the GPS note below that statement.

[zobgel]

Count me in!!!

[SkylineG1]

OK more info. Tristate Evo is rolling at least 50 cars deep. They have not yet decided on any rest stops that they plan to use. I will keep updating to let you guys know their plan of attack.

[1992Galant]

what is this . An attack plan. Lol jk.

[Stewi]

OK more info. Tristate Evo is rolling at least 50 cars deep. They have not yet decided on any rest stops that they plan to use. I will keep updating to let you guys know their plan of attack.

I've been checking every day, once they pick their meet spots, we will know which ones not to use.

[SkylineG1]

I've been checking every day, once they pick their meet spots, we will know which ones not to use.

I just checked & one of their spots is on Route 17 in NJ (Paramus). So far looks ok but they have to meet up with two more groups along I95 also.

[Isaurio]

Sounds good. Just did my rear disc conversion thanks to one of the members. I just need to get new rotors I should be ready by them. Keep us posted stewi!

*Page 1 Updated*

[Galanttuner10]

anyone else coming from as far north as me? its going to be a lonely drive for me if not.

[keith6110]

The meet spot seems like a good idea and will probably work well as long as everyone is on time. Just hope there's enough room for everyone. Thanks for organizing this Brian.


anyone else coming from as far north as me? its going to be a lonely drive for me if not.

Which way would you be going? I can see if I can meet up with you part of the way down. Let me know.

[IceDouTGaLanT]

There's plenty of space for us, now we just got to fill it!

*MD guys, this is the same spot we usually meet at. Very close to Mod (5mins) and not out the way for South/North Members.

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y151/IcedoutGalant/Picture10.png

We can park in the red area or the blue if needed, its out the way of there business so they shouldn't mind.

[xglantv699]

I'm trying to take off of work to attend this!! Will definitely be attending Evo/STi day at etown though. Running the Evo down the track.

[Isaurio]

Hey Stewi Can you post the exact address for Clara Barton Service Area. I want to be able to put it on the GPS. Thanks

[run1206]

[mko]

Hey Stewi Can you post the exact address for Clara Barton Service Area. I want to be able to put it on the GPS. Thanks

This is the address

New jersey tpke mm 5 john fenwick service area., Penns grove, NJ 08067 (Sunoco)

[Stewi]

MKO that might work but John fenwick service are is on the northbound side

[BronxBlur23]

You can count me in, If i can get out of work on time. I'll be coming from elmsford,ny. It takes me about 20mins just to get back to the Bx. It will also take me 20mins to get ready. After all that, I will be en route to GWB.

Anyone want to meet up before crossing the Bridge, hit me up on AIM and let me kno..

[reiketsutsukigami]

yea i might actually be a maybe now managed to fix the car just some gas money issues if i get the money then ill be there.

[mko]

MKO that might work but John fenwick service are is on the northbound side

it says its on the SB side. is this the rest stop we are talkin about?

[Stewi]

it says its on the SB side. is this the rest stop we are talkin about?

I just got it on google earth, John Fenwick is DEFINETLY on the northbound side and Clara Barton is on the southbound side. They are across the highway from each other at the same mile marker, but Clara Barton is the one we are meeting at (since its heading toward Delaware)

[keith6110]

So us northerns will need to do a U-turn just after passing our meeting spot to be heading in the right direction?

[Galanttuner10]

So us northerns will need to do a U-turn just after passing our meeting spot to be heading in the right direction?

no, we are meeting at clara barton which is on the side we will be on to get there. i think lol

[Rach3T8G]

keith we gotta come up with a place to meet up @ or should i just meet everyone @ the meet up spot b4 MOD?

[keith6110]

keith we gotta come up with a place to meet up @ or should i just meet everyone @ the meet up spot b4 MOD?

I'll pm ya man. I agree we should meet up on the way down. Looks like 4 cars strong if ya join us lol

[Stewi]

no, we are meeting at clara barton which is on the side we will be on to get there. i think lol

correct

If your coming from the North, meet at Clara Barton Service Area, if your coming from South of NJ meet at Mike's Famous Harley Davidson.

[keith6110]

correct

If your coming from the North, meet at Clara Barton Service Area, if your coming from South of NJ meet at Mike's Famous Harley Davidson.

Then what? Call each other and meet up? lol!

[zobgel]

I'll take the number 30 spot, count me in! :)

[Stewi]

Then what? Call each other and meet up? lol!

Why call, your going to be parked next to other galants. People the idea here is for EVERYONE to meet up at the determined locations. When you arrive you will see other 8g's, just approach them and say whats up, once the time is right, we will leave and head to the next spot.

[Stewi]

I'll take the number 30 spot, count me in! :)

thanks, updated!!!

[mko]

we have to make sure that we are all on the same page. NJTP splits in two - one continues to be 295 and the other one becomes 130 and then again 295. These merge right before DMB

[Proto]

Take 295 straight down into wilmington.

[keith6110]

okay so.. let me get this straight. We are meeting about half of the members at one spot. Then the next meeting spot we will meet up with everyone else. Then finally roll into mod?

[Stewi]

Take 295 straight down into wilmington.

Yes and No. STICK TO THE PLAN ON THE MEET SPOTS. Guys, we will be meeting TOGETHER at Mike's Famous Harley Davidson then we can follow either Proto, Icedoutgalant or Spdrcr to MOD since they are all very familiar with the area. Stick to the plan, drive down the NJ Turnpike (AKA I-95) until you reach the meet up spot (if your coming from the North) meet at Clara Barton Service area, we will then caravan to Mike's famous Harley Davidson where we will meet everyone coming from the south, then caravan over to MOD.

Ahh okay. Didn't click the first time around; I'm better now. Thanks for explaining it a bit.

[IceDouTGaLanT]

Time to clean the cars this week boys! Almost here!

I'd recommend bringing a fold up chair & something to drink!

[Stewi]

Good call though on the fold up chairs

[kolio]

cleaning, i have my car in pieces so i don't get laughed at for ghetto wiring. lol

how it hasn't caught fire is a miracle lol.


all jokes aside this has motivated me to fix a bunch of stuff on the car. clean up wiring, hopefully fix the dented fender, just tidy everything up!

[99galantES]

^^same here I just did my axles I was hoping to get my rear lip and skirts on before mod but might not happen I did my axles yesterday with the help of corey2kg

[Proto]

I'll be there already.

[9G]

Ill try to make it too. Ill probably take the 9g if i can fix my 3 wheel steering by then.

[IceDouTGaLanT]

^ oh snap, your like a unicorn people know about you but never see you! Looking forward to meeting you after all these years on this forum haha.

[Exhaust power]

Im dropping out sorry guys.

[keith6110]

Im dropping out sorry guys.

ahh!, whys that? You could drive with us on the way down if ya wanted to.

[Exhaust power]

Yeah i know. Things dont go as planned and i dont feel like wasting any money on the car anymore. Nothing ever goes as planned for me anyway.

[keith6110]

Yeah i know. Things dont go as planned and i dont feel like wasting any money on the car anymore. Nothing ever goes as planned for me anyway.

okay.. Sorry to hear man.

[Exhaust power]

okay.. Sorry to hear man.
Its alright.

First page updated.

Guys everyone pray that it doesnt _ _ _ _ there is a 60% chance as of now for October 15th and 16th. As the date nears closer this may change, I would really hate for it to _ _ _ _

I guess it all depends on where you look.

[keith6110]

Yea, guess so. I don't think its accurate until its within a couple days anyway.

[Isaurio]

i'm coming from the bronx going toward to GWB. What is my pre-meet stop. I'm confuse.

[BronxBlur23]

i'm coming from the bronx going toward to GWB. What is my pre-meet stop. I'm confuse.

If your going thru the Bronx you can meet up at jerome ave, there's a mcdonalds right off the exit and the re-entry right around the corner...

[Stewi]

If your going thru the Bronx you can meet up at jerome ave, there's a mcdonalds right off the exit and the re-entry right around the corner...

You two guys work this out amongst yourselves and anyone else you want, but just make sure your on time to the meet up spot at Clara Barton Service Area.

[Isaurio]

8.30 got it

[Corey2kG]

Sorry guys its a no go for me no way I'm gonna make it. Have fun though.

[Stewi]

list updated

[Mr. Bishi]

I maybe there if things go as planned.

[mko]

Im confused, the google maps shows 3 service areas with the same name. Someone please post a screenshot of Clara Barton Service Area is located.

[qnz]

Mike at TSE said first 500 people at the gate get special consideration. What that means, I dont know. Maybe we can get better spots for parking. Either way, I vote we push up the meet up time so we can drive there earlier, and then wait in line earlier.

This way, say the galant section is next to the Evo section, and the Evo section fills up, theyre just gonna spill over to the Galant spots. If we get there earlier and claim our spots, we wont be pushed out.

Aaron is right we should be pulling up to the MOD gates at 8:30am. Brian I think we need to push the times up drastically.

[zobgel]

I know its too late but it would be nice if were wearing TGC shirts "like uniforms" :)

[SkylineG1]

I know its too late but it would be nice if were wearing TGC shirts "like uniforms" :)

Seriously?????????

[Stewi]

Ok guys the list is updated and the times have been updated, the idea will be to be leaving Clara Barton Service are at 8am and going to Mike's Famous HarleyDavidson and be leaving there by 8:30am, from Mike's Famous to MOD is only about 5-10 minutes, if we arrive at the gates at 8:45 we should be fine, I know Mike from TSE said the first 500 receive special consideration, but I cant see there being over 300-400 cars on line waiting before 9am, I think we will be fine.

[Isaurio]

OMG.. Have to wake up super early.. Is cool. It should be no traffic at 5AM. lol

[qnz]

The lot is pretty big. Looks like it holds about 800 cars.

[Stewi]

Im confused, the google maps shows 3 service areas with the same name. Someone please post a screenshot of Clara Barton Service Area is located.

Ok, this is the easiest way to describe it. The LAST service area on the NJ Turnpike going south (heading toward DE) is the Clara Barton Service Area. If you were coming from DE going into NJ, John Fenwick Service Area would be the FIRST service area. MKO I just looked up directions from your town to the service area, you take RT-55 North to RT-322 West. RT-322 is also called Swedesboro Rd. You take RT-322 to the NJ Tpke SOUTH, travel approx 7 miles, Clara Barton Service Area will be on your right hand side. It is the only rest area on the south bound side of the NJ Tpke between where you will enter the highway and the state of DE (Del Memorial Bridge)

Is there a TGC banner we can fly? :D

[Galanttuner10]

anyone wanna let me crash the night before from jersey or NY so i can sleep in a little more?

[qnz]

Ok guys the list is updated and the times have been updated, the idea will be to be leaving Clara Barton Service are at 8am and going to Mike's Famous HarleyDavidson and be leaving there by 8:30am, from Mike's Famous to MOD is only about 5-10 minutes, if we arrive at the gates at 8:45 we should be fine, I know Mike from TSE said the first 500 receive special consideration, but I cant see there being over 300-400 cars on line waiting before 9am, I think we will be fine.

Well we cant force people to come and meet at 8:30. A lot of people are coming from far away places. If they rather arrive at 10, so be it.

[Corey2kG]

So what time is it then? I'm gonna be going with my brother n if its gonna be 8am we gonna have to leave around 3:30am

[keith6110]

So what time is it then? I'm gonna be going with my brother n if its gonna be 8am we gonna have to leave around 3:30am

yep, you and me both lol! I'm going to see about leaving here at 4:00 Meaning be up at 3 and get everything together. It will be worth it I think. Not like I'm making a weekly work schedule or something; I can do one day.

[Stewi]

So what time is it then? I'm gonna be going with my brother n if its gonna be 8am we gonna have to leave around 3:30am

If your life allows you to make the times I posted, make it on time. If for some reason you cant make those times, just post up that your going to be a little late, in which case you can drive directly to MOD and meet up with us there. I just dont want to be sitting at the service area parking lot waiting for someone who has no intention of being there on time. This way if I know your not coming on time, we can round everyone else up and keep moving.

[SkylineG1]

People we all have to leave early that morning. Whether you're leaving fom NY, NJ, PA or even MA. It will be worth it.

[99galantES]

I most def will be there on time since its early in the morning I don't think traffic should be that heavy if any

[Isaurio]

x2. Traffic will be good at that time like 3 to 5 AM. But be careful because a lot of patrols are around that time.

[Stewi]

+1 they will be looking for Friday night drunk drivers

[Galanttuner10]

People we all have to leave early that morning. Whether you're leaving fom NY, NJ, PA or even MA. It will be worth it.

[Isaurio]

I have to go to the muffler shop and switch my o2 sensor and cat i think my car is on loop mode because the o2 sensor is giving a bad reading to the ECU. hope i dont have any problems today.

[IceDouTGaLanT]

[SkylineG1]

Ugh, shop cant tune my car this week, ill be limping my ass to MOD!

Can't you upload a different mapping? Probably one from before.

[IceDouTGaLanT]

Its running the old map, guess with the weather over the years changing it screwed up the tune. Its fine, just no boosting the whole 6 miles to MOD lol

[xglantv699]

Add me to the list!

[SkylineG1]

Add me to the list!

Are you serious? Are you rolling with us or TSE?

[SkylineG1]

Accuweather.com is saying rain.
http://www.accuweather.com/us/de/wilmington/19801/forecast-accupop.asp?fday=6

Weather.com is saying wind.
http://www.weather.com/weather/tenday/USDE0055

I'm sticking with the weather channel prediction of just wind.

[Galanttuner10]

[99galantES]

^^lol

[zobgel]

I guess this is not my day... :(

[Isaurio]

Yes I'm serious. I'll be in the Evo. Rolling out Friday night w/ a couple other Evos.

[SkylineG1]

***UPDATE***

If you are coming from the north (MA,CT,NY) some of us are meeting at the Molly Pitcher rest stop ( mile marker 71 between interchanges 8 and 8a Cranberry, Middlesex county) before we meet up at the Clara Barton rest stop (mile marker 5 between 2 and 1 Oldsman township, Salem county). Mind you we will have to be there early...6:30am so that we can get to Clara Barton rest stop on time with everybody else.

NOTE: We will be leaving Molly Pitcher at exactly 6:30 am. So If you are late you can play catch up (we will not be speeding). If you are running late you can call me 347-733-3244.

Do you have the exact address for that location. so i could put it on the GPS.

[Stewi]

Do you have the exact address for that location. so i could put it on the GPS.

There are no address' for these places since they are rest stops. If your GPS has pre-programmed points of interest or restraunts, it will be programmed into the GPS already. These rest stops on the NJ Tpke have been there for 10+years if not longer.

[Isaurio]

Thanks i will look into it.

EDIT: Got it, my GPS has all the NJ rest stops. Skyline i'm about 1r and 23 min away from my location. Thanks stewi

[1992Galant]

I need a ride. My ride fell through. I live in newburgh ny. I will put in for gas money

[Stewi]

Thanks i will look into it.

No problem

[glantv699]

New alternator going in Friday, who was I kidding saying "maybe". If all goes to plan, I'll be at Mike's Famous by 8AM. Anyone who may be traveling through PA- Philadelphia area and points nearby through to Delaware, I'll be taking 95-South to 495 if you want to meet up.

[keith6110]

Guys, I checked the weather on weather.com and accuweather.com. It looks like they agree with each other finally. Its going to be around 58 degrees and windy with a 20% chance of bs. In otherwords, the trip there might be a little wet but when mod starts it will be fine it seems. Any car washes on the way? Seeing I'm leaving early and its probably going to dirty up the cars Lol

[99galantES]

^^I was thinking the same

[1992Galant]

is there anyone going to be near newburgh or rt 84. I need a ride. My ride backed out at the last mintue. I someones help plz. I got money for gas.

[Stewi]

this is 3 days away, crunch time, make sure you and your car are there!!!!!!!!

[Galanttuner10]

[99galantES]

^^we still down to meet rite?

[Galanttuner10]

^^we still down to meet rite?

[99galantES]

Nice, good thinking. I might just hit up a car wash in DE by where I'm staying before MOD. Or if it stops raining tomorrow afternoon I'll do it before I leave. Weather always gets in the way of things! Lookin forward to seeing your car.

[SkylineG1]

[beam514]

[mrjaydeeone]

anyone got an extra ballast (for free or cheap, LOL) they can bring on Saturday. I need to fix the passenger side HID that's been acting up on my G forever LOL. I was gonna order another set, but waited too long. thanks in advance. I prolly wont be on again before MOD so see yous Saturday.

[glantv699]

I forsee a problem with the final meeting place at Mike's Famous Harley Davidson, I was just on their website and their Saturday service hours begin at 8AM and their sales start at 9AM, don't you guys think this is cutting it a bit close?

There looks to be a huge shopping center parking lot just up route 9 at the intersection with Morehouse Drive just beyond Memorial Drive, I thnk we'd run into less trouble in a bigger lot that is only a bit further off the highway.

No. TO AVOID ALL CONFUSION, NOTHING HAS CHANGED, INFO ON PAGE #1 IS CORRECT!

Its less than 24hrs before the meet up times, we arent going to change anything now. Stick to the plan, if there are problems, we can deal with it on the fly. Ron posted pics of the harley dealer, they have 3 seperate parking lots, one is far away from the building, thats the one we will use. We will be fine.

[Mr. Bishi]

Looks like im out.

[jubeiaire]

anyone got space for me to ride with them

[IceDouTGaLanT]

We should be fine here, they are not really busy this late in the summer anyhow, plus they have a big lot, as long as no ones burning out/ Loud music we should be fine. I dont think any G owner is that stupid anyhow haha..

Meet in this area! Don't be late guys!!!

[Stewi]

Guys I need a part, someone has to have what I need. I need the little black "pocket" that mounts in the door panel just behind the window switch. I think they are all the same, but if they arent I need one for the passenger side front door. Someone has to have this.

[qnz]
