Still not sure why you guys get your own section :p
Don't stop checking in on the South East section. We have some meets semi-close to TN coming up.
Cause someone asked for it.Quote:

I actually just noticed the TN section yesterday, lol. I try to post in nearby states when we have meets that are close enough for them. Easier when there's only the "south east" section to worry about.
Would be cool if I could pm all registered members within so many miles of each event.
Hopefully this area will be more active someday. lol
Do we really need a Carolina section??
I think just link it to the Carolina3s "Which directs you to the Facebook group" may be enough.
And congrats on the Tennessee section. You now have you own sub-forum Paul...LMAO!!!
Yeah lol thanks, it's been here a while but doesn't get much use.Quote:

Either way, I"ll try to keep it up unless someone else jumps in.
I get more local action on 3si but one sure way to keep local action dead here is to never have a spot for it.Quote:

Shoot me some of your ideas, Eddie, and I'll see what I can help on. If you guys don't think we need a Carolina section, that's fine.
Still inactive :( Even with all of Paul's post whore replies :D Paul, lets talk this weekend 13-14 about cabin plans for BRG. We will all come up with an idea...
I'm the only TN post whore lol, well Bryan has been posting a lot lately but not here. If you would hang out more here maybe it would get more use. :pQuote:

Eh, I bounce around. Definitely need to get more of the TN3S folks migrated over to here. Before I left TN, I saw a white 1g TT, a red 2g 3k (not sure if VR4 or not) and a red 1g RT in Athens all in the same day, and a white 1g 3k SL in Decatur (didn't seem to be local though). Nobody on any of the forums though. Really need to start keeping like business cards or something to put on folks windshields when I see them parked :P
We may have to bring her car over, as we can't find out what is draining the power.
Dennis (needamiracle) has a white 1st gen TT. He doesn't post much though.Quote:

May help avoid having to replace the battery.
If you're still getting battery drain even if with the IOD fuse pulled, you've got something wired in seriously wrong.
Anybody talk to Gamerse anymore? Last I knew he had finally gotten his JDM swap up and running sort of, but was having issues with it.Quote:

It's just Alan has it hidden, not sure why.
TN3S is the best. Duh and/or hola.
Going to get back to work on the car tomorrow. Had a thought today though about why clearance is so tight where the front preturbo pipe and the FMIC pipe to TB is..Potentially because the 13T compressor side is larger, and I didn't check out the depth of it, it could be an inch or whatever deeper/wider/whatever dimension it would be than the 9B was, essentially pushing that preturbo pipe against where the FMIC pipe should be running. Not that it impacts anything, just makes it a pain in the ass and a tight squeeze to get in there.
Saw the engine pic on FB, looks good.
What do you mean hidden. Their is a link to regions on the menu bar and the forum main page.Quote:

I understand that the regional section doesn't get anywhere near the traffic of the other sections on the site, but being right above the classifieds in small font makes it really easy for people to just breeze past the area. While a lot of older owners know each other and have met at NGs and such, newer owners look to find others near them and setting up meets other face to face interactions with local and regional 3S owners is really the lifeblood of the community IMO. While the NG is great, it's just not feasible for a lot of folks to make compared to more local and regional meets. And while the forum as a whole is a fantastic resource and place to spend time, it's the Tn3S crew IMO that helps keep this habit of mine going through tough times economically, and I try to help others locally when I'm in a better position in life. I digress though, the long and short of it is: The regional forums/subforums need more or better exposure to maximize their effectiveness.
Certainly compared to the TN forum on the other site, this one is fairly dead, but most folks on the other forum had no idea that we now had our own subsection..Or even that there was a southeast region forum..
Ever figure out what was going on with it?Quote:
