Re: ANY KANSAS PEOPLE!
Hey trans_x1985, which one is yours? I'm from Leavenworth (in Iraq right now) but saw a few while I was on leave. Mine is the red/gray/black one that looks like it's about to fall apart, lol. Picked it up for a grand and have been ordering parts ever since.

Re: ANY KANSAS PEOPLE!
I just got back from Iraq and have noticed a lot of third gens around the Fort Riley area. Also seen a couple here in Leavenworth. Would it be alright with every one else if I made some flyers to invite people to join?

Re: ANY KANSAS PEOPLE!
I didn't think anyone would mind, I just wanted to ask first. Don't want people thinking I represent the whole TGO. I just like to see new people get involved.

Re: ANY KANSAS PEOPLE!
I'd be more than happy to show up. Maybe by then I'll have enough saved up to have my 9 inch dropped in. Right now she's on jack stands.

I'll be more than happy to show up. Hopefully my car will be up to the challenge. I just got my hands on a fresh 502 so she might be down getting prepped.

Re: ANY KANSAS PEOPLE!
Perhaps we could even have a small swap meet at the same time. I have a very nice (and complete) L69 dual snorkel set-up, and by then if all goes well, a good set of single stripe, gray IROC wheels.

Re: ANY KANSAS PEOPLE!
I'll add to the members here in Wichita. Once the weather warms up and I can get around to fixing my exhaust leak (and some minor electrical issues) I would be more than happy to join everyone in the Lawrence area for a gathering.

Re: ANY KANSAS PEOPLE!
I live in Overland Park but I'm currenty deployed in Afghanistan.
Just picked up a '92 Z28 Convertible over the past weekend (on R&R for a few more days) it needs a little work but it will be worth it when she's finished!
I'll be back again in mid summer and would like to get together and check out some of your rides before my unit moves me across the country.

Re: ANY KANSAS PEOPLE!
I'm looking for recommendations for a performance shop in the Wichita area. I want to get some subframe connectors installed. Preferably by a place with a four-post lift and experience with third-gen sfcs. Suggestions?

Re: ANY KANSAS PEOPLE!
I'm assumiing your SFC's are the weld in type because anybody can install bolt-ins.
1Badcam is correct i will be at the track on May 10th, but unfortunately i'll be running my 4th Gen. My 92RS is making some angry noises at the front lower end of my motor, and i have no clue what it is????

Re: ANY KANSAS PEOPLE!
I am way out in rural NW Kansas (Colby area). I have five third gen Camaros (Z28s and Irocs), with my rough 89 Iroc 5.7 L being my daily driver. It will be undergoing restoration work once the summer weather is gone. Too much fun to let sit with the T-tops on when the weather is warm....

What branch are you in. I am in the Navy Reserve, tried going back active duty but all the services from what I have heard have met their numbers. Hopefully soon they will realize that you can't just up and cut a budget.

Re: ANY KANSAS PEOPLE!
Oh well - I've realized that NOT making sense is what the military is best at...
Anyways what are the headers you have? I've got a stock '92 Z Vert that I picked up when I was home on leave a few months ago and have a loooong list of mods I'd like to do and headers are at the top of that list...
