Just to be clear the meet is at 4 corners which is located in Downers Grove (75th st & Lemont) in the parking lot where Advanced Auto Parts is. I'm in my green corolla since my tC is still being worked on.

Shotout to scionchicop, SilverPanda & Danny. Thanks for coming out last night and hanging out! Had a good time chillin but I'd have to agree with the group and say that the meet was a FAIL due to lack of participation.

The whole reason I try and set these meets up is to get more participation from the Chicago scionlife community. Even though we only have a few loyal people that come on a regular basis I'll still continue to organize events. My goal is to get a consistent 10+ cars out every event. I'm open to any input or ideas that will get more people out.

With that being said I would like to set up another meet at 4 corners (75th St & Lemont Rd...Downers Grove) this Up coming Saturday which is July 7th. I'll get input from the people who show up on that day and those who reply to this thread to try and put together a meet/cruise later in July.

My tC won't be completely done till August either but I'd be nice if you could swing by so we could all meet you. It's funny you mention GLD because I'm a big drag racing guy myself and normally compete at Import Wars but since my tC has been under construction since April, I haven't been able to make one yet. If your tC is done by the 7th you should come by and once my tC is done we can roll to Import Wars as a group!

You're right the Chicago area needs to step it up and that's exactly my goal. No reason why we shouldn't be able to roll up to any event 10+ cars strong!

The shop that's working on my tC can do the wiring harness for the EMS4 for you. Only thing is they're located in Lake In the Hills but their pricing is so sweet that it's worth the drive! They're currently converting my tC from auto to 5 speed, installing my built long block & return system, custom building turbo manifold & inter cooler piping, doing all the electrical wiring for my 6 gauges & painting my tC gloss black! They give a new definition to a "One Stop Shop"! Just let me know if you want there contact information.

I have a corolla as my DD but I'm building my tC for drag racing and for doing road courses. We definitely have to get some meets going when we're all done with our cars!
