Hi everyone, I have always been interested in converting a car to electric, I just don't have the know how myself.  Anyhow I'm a board member over at www.pstoc.org, we are starting to put together our annual Toyota Fest (It will have new name this year) and I was thinking it would be cool if any of you with Toyota's could make it to the show.

You can check out the link from last years show here:  http://pstoc.org/forum/showthread.php?t=3060

Come on over, check out the site and register.  Hope to see you there.

Thanks,
Don (93cc)

It would  be REALLY cool if we could get any of you that have Toyota's to come out to our show.  It is going to be Aug 30th.  One of the other guys for our Boards of Directors will be posting a message about the show when we get out flyer done and hopefully this will be with in the next couple of weeks.


So if you have a Toyota I really hope you can make it.  I know I would like to like to see at least one of you there!

Here's a link to this years thread with all the details!!! http://www.pstoc.org/forum/showthread.php?t=3943

Time for another reminder to please start pre-registering so we can have all the trophy classes and team parking figured out. You can buy raffle tickets at a cost of $1 each with no limit on how many you can buy for the raffle car at the show. You must be present to win, title will be signed over AT THE EVENT! Speaking of which here's a little teaser of what it is. We will announce what it is including pictures a few weeks prior to the event! No having to guess whats under the sheet  All I can say for now is it's low mileage for the year, has a darn near indestrutable motor, is an auto, and would make for a good DD or project car. Oh and it's not a camry

We are getting closer to the show date...

Are any of you Toyota owners planing to come out?

I know there are some of you Toyota owners out there I saw there are some Rav4 and MR2 on another post, you can run but you can't hide 


Hope you can come and show your cars or at least come to the show.

Now on to this weeks raffle car hint and since I'm a BTTF fan I thought I'd have a little fun with it and put it in trivia form. "The year of the car is the same year Marty McFly was so desperate to get back to, in Back to the Future Part 1"

[PSTOC.org]

Ok boys and girls it's this weeks update. The big news is t-shirts. Yep thats right for the first time you can remember the event even if you didn't win anything. These are an awesome toyota inspired design by our friend and sponsor Mckenzie Spoor. 


Now to the part everyone has been waiting for, this weeks raffle car hint. Hopefully next week it'll be ready for the big unveiling. It's RWD and a hatchback or in toyota speak liftback.

And as always PLEASE keep those preregistrations coming in. The more we we get the better show we can have!!

[PSTOC.org]

Ok it's getting down to the wire now. It's less than 2 weeks away so if you've been waiting to pre-register to see if you'll be busy that day or a meteor was going to fall or jesus would rise up again, then by now you probably know if the 30th will be free. We need to hit 100 preregistraions to ensure a most awesome event date next year. So help us help you have a great show this year and next!!!! So please please please PLEASE send in those prereg's!! Raffle tickets will be sale only on site day of now so please take note of that. As for the raffle car the big reveal will be next monday so no more hints Ok so new news is we will be having a "Pop off" contest.(Not that you electric people care ) Yes all you kids itching to rev at each other will finally have a chance! It'll be crowd choice so get ready to cheer for not only the loudest but the best sounding car. Sign up at the event. We will be inspecting the canidates before hand and eliminating it down to 10 finalists. So if you brought your stock car with just a cone filter please don't sign up. The winner will recieve a special award like none of the others that day.

[PSTOC.org]

Ok a little early but due to Paypal being a pain in the butt right now I have to ask if your planning on pre-registering today or tomorrow please hang on. They are having issues with our account and will be fixed shortly. Don't worry if you already preregistered all that info is safe. If we can't resolve it quickly we will have another account for you to send your money and info in to by Tuesday at the latest. Also to make up for any inconvience and to encourage preregistration we will be giving 1 free raffle ticket for the car, to all that register.

Now for the good stuff.

We would like to welcome Aqua Rec's Swimmin' Hole and Fireplace shop (www.aquarec.com) as a sponsor of this event. There will be a mobile hot tub at the event that is available for rent from them. Please contact the for pricing. In other news the trophys are on order and will not be your generic steering wheel or winged angel figure. Now on to the car. I know I promised pics but I have a bit more work to do on the paint and will have pics posted up by wednesday. BUT that doesn't mean I can't tell you right now what it is

Raffle car is..............1985 Toyota Celica GT!
Engine: 22REC, the motor that'll run with a hole in the motor. Youtube it
Fuel injected
102,000 on the odometer
Automatic 3 speed with overdrive

This is a fully drivable, great running vehicle. It has A/C, though the belt is not connected and the system is empty, it has cruise control that is fully functional, all HVAC works perfectly(heat, blower, ect.), power mirrors, interior is brown 7 out of 10 and is fully detailed with Griots Garage products, exterior is decent, most notably a large dent in the bottom rear quarter panel. Hatch is COMPLETELY rust free!! this is rare in of it self and has the stock hatch wing with some after market upper plastic visor type wing, doesn't look bad. Comes with a Panasonic CD player, and Rocksford Fosgate 10" sub.

Now this isn't what you see at the mall with all those WIN this car or $xxxx kiosks. But this is a real, gas saving, take it home that day car that you can win for a $1!!!

[PSTOC.org]

Update: Ok due to paypal being a bit unreasonable we will no longer be accepting payment from them for this event. If your planning on attending Sunday please e-mail all your info to PugetSoundTOC@yahoo.com. Payment will be due day of the event and will only be $10 +Toy donation because of all this hassle. We thank you for your patience and understanding and look forward to seeing you there!

Ok folks here's my last update since tomorrow is final prep day and man will we be swamped. I'd like to say thanks for all the supporters that have been keeping these threads alive even though there's a few that have just me talking to no one I'm actually bummed I wont be updating and visiting alot of the boards now even though everyone of them has something cool and special to offer. I sadly just can't keep up on them all regularly. But enough of this sappy stuff, on wards towards destiny I suppose.

Ok so there will be food on site and best of all it's FREE! This is the good stuff even though it sounds simple. We got one of the best(according to most of us who've eaten her food) chefs in the state, in full control of our grill so your in for a treat! If you were at last years event you know of the goodness that was her chicken. But this year we have grilled cheese(from an actual bbq grill), tomato soup, hotdogs, the ever popular fish crackers and thanks to Griots, free drinks as well.  So yes it's free but if you want to toss a dollar or two into the tip jar, we can reward this lovely lady's efforts with a spa day or something

Ok with food annoucement out of the way your probably all going "We don't care about food, where's the damn car pictures you promised us 2 days ago?!" Well I appologize for being a few days late and must appologize further for not having a final pic of the car BUT!!! I can show you before and work pics of the car. So here we go!
First day just bought, yes thats my fat head in the driver's seat


Preping the car



Paint mixing


Painting!




First 2 coats drying


Why we named the car "Anarchy"


Twins putting on the final coats 2 days later



So you get the general picture and why we felt the need to paint. It is not clear coated so you can choose to continue the process if you wish, or sand it prime it and have a cheap paint job by maaco or just rock it as is. Will have final pics up tomorrow or will have to wait til you see it in person depending on the schedule.

To wrap this up I'll just say We'll see you there!!
