SoCal TPI June 12th Meeting in Orange

On Saturday June 12th at 6pm, we will hold our second SoCal TPI Organization meeting at Spiro's Cafe in the city of Orange.

Spiro's Cafe
513 E Chapman Ave
Orange, CA 92866

Its at the corner of Chapman and Shaffer near the Orange Circle.

Items to discuss include the recent L.A. Invasion in which we had a strong TPI representation, the dyno day, and plans for cruises in the future such as to Don's place in Big Bear and a cruise thru Idylwild to Morongo Casino.

Here is the info on our last meeting:
https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/sout...pi-engine.html

The SoCal Tuned Port Injection Organization was founded by father and son team Don and Kevin Lorentzen as a way to further promote and advance the Tuned Port Injection engine. We are a fun, friendly group of people who want to get together and share our love for the 85-92 Camaro, Trans Am, and Corvette, as well as other vehicles of all years who have been converted to Tuned Port Injection. Please make plans to join us on the 12th and share your TPI stories, as well as learn new tips and tricks to make your TPI engine faster than before.

Re: SoCal TPI June 12th Meeting in Orange

Ok gang, when you get tired of hanging out in parking lots
and BS-ing, come on over and learn
something about your cars and tuned port injection.

From time to time we will be having guest speakers come by
and give orientations about things to do to your cars to
improve the performance.

We will also share information we have learned that you
can't get anywhere else around here.

If you are trying to improve your project yourself, don't
be bashful! Come on by my shop and I will assist you anyway I
can with information @ no charge.

With that being said, we also will be having fun with our
cars out on the real highway, going places and doing things
to enjoy our cars. After all, isn't that what we have them
for?

We are working on getting a web site put together and will
be up and running soon.

Come on by and get acquainted this Saturday night.

Couldn't make it last time but I look good for tomorrow.

The weather looks just about perfect for bringing the car out.

Re: SoCal TPI June 12th Meeting in Orange

Well shoot, I tried to find that place earlier today and attend, even spent twenty minutes driving around but couldn't find it. Don't have your or Kevin's cell number either so couldn't call for help. Stupid google maps sending me to the wrong place probably. Next time, sorry Don, I actually did try to come :/

FRAP! Somehow, I was programmed in my brain for next week, my bad.

Is there any way to get posts or reports on what happened during the meeting or what information was shared?

Re: SoCal TPI June 12th Meeting in Orange

We wondered what happened to you, Troy. Sorry we missed you, too David.

I have created a blog site as a temporary home for SCTPI while Don and I explore our options for having a real message board on our home website. You can check it out here: http://socaltpi.blogspot.com/

We had 14 people in attendance, and I thank you all for coming. You can read the details of our meeting on the blog site.

We'll see you for our next meeting in August.

Apparently it needs someone to make it go on the internet, it does not follow me around and remind me like a good nanny would. Obviously a design flaw...

Re: SoCal TPI June 12th Meeting in Orange

Sure, you are welcomed. Please come on by. However you replied to a post from last year. We just had our meeting last Saturday. The next meeting is still being worked out but it will be our annual picknic. Looks to be maybe the 2 or 3rd weekend in July. Stay tuned.
