shagwell-- looks like the villas, i work at bell tower. sweet ride
92trans- thanx for the advance notice on the autocross. wanted to make the last one, but couldnt get off work. ****, you should definetly go.

mateo

Went to towers last night......no 3rd gens besides me sadly....

Some guy came up to me and talked about my car though, said he had one just like it and he was tempted to do the LT1 swap like mine had.

Shagwell

thanks for the complements guys! - actually its in Alva, right by the locks on the north side of the river. - I'll be lucky if I've even got to start working on it buy March 4th. This land barge is going on a major diet. I'm tired of blowing trannies out on the ground/I wanna go 10's all motor...then spray it!

I'm not giving up my a/c, pwr windows/locks, etc, so I'm going full-frame and eliminating ALL unibody structure. As it stands, 4161 w/ me(160 at the time) and a 1/2 tank, I intend on being down to around 3k

Shagwell

common guys was the big-azz 4X4 Cheessan(chevy/jeep/nissian) not a give away? - Alva, the home to TWO flashing lights...

Speedy Mike

if you dont come out shagwell!!!!

lockchad

Vero Beach here. Right in the middle of f'n nowhere.
Pics soon

SPIKE

iTrader: (1)

west palm beach.
let me know if you get something together.

WckdDudeMan

you third genners in palm beach and fort pierce/lower PSL, not sure on a date yet but we should get together for a test/tune at moroso one of these days(after my camaro is track ready)

lockchad

Everybody forgets about Vero!!! LOL
Yeah a test and tune at moroso sounds good lemme know.

PhLaXuS

I've actually never been there (Moroso). How expensive is it to drive in and tear down the strip? What's it like for a day and is there any sort of longer-term races of several laps around or is it all 1/4 mile type deals?

Shagwell

ahhhh, Moroso Motorsports Park, the most azz-backward track in the world. the first half of track is asphalt, the rest is concrete... - ever wonder why your 60fts suck?

92transam16

- I wish the car could be done by then...unfortunately, other projects have to come first...hopefully I'll be started by then though...

lockchad

Phlax, Its like 10-15 bucks on wed and fri nights run from 7pm or so till about midnight.

Br1dgeman

Mateo-
You should have let me know....I would have met you up there. Then at least there would have been two of us....

Lack of showing does not surprise me though, when I proposed a meeting on January 20, no one showed - I was the only person. t least I ate good at Fanagin's

WckdDudeMan

lol a week or 2 of prior notice will help alot to get more people to show up...

TwiSSted

Shagwell......Alva is an intersting little town. If you sneeze you'll miss it. Pass though it all the time on my way to visit my grand father in Punta Gorda.

TwiSSted

It seems every year Moroso gets worse. Track prep never seems to be consistant and I think they forget they even have VHT.

Shagwell

...double...

Shagwell

I can hook in the rain and I can't BUY traction at Moroso.... I go from 1.6X 60fts to 1.8X...

yeah Alva is small. I actually don't live in the town area though. I'm actually closer to the Riverdale area, but I'm on the north side of the river.

bobdole369

1989 2.8L Firebird representing NW_Broward! You can see my rattletrap with its faded red paint and F**k Work sticker on the back just about any day on Cypress Creek road during rush hour.

Br1dgeman

Hmmmm, where abouts on Cypress Creek Road and what time? I drive it every day and I live near it, but I do not recall seeing anything matching that description...

bobdole369

Anywhere from pine island down to powerline. 7:10-8:00ish, and 4:30-5:15ish.

Br1dgeman

I will have to keep an eye out. I am usually going westbound along that same section in the morning and eastbound in the evening....

I do not usually drive my Z to work because I am afraid of some idiot hitting it during the commute, so I am typically incognito in my Blazer.

WckdDudeMan

anyone know of a powerglide for sale in palm beach area, let me know if you or any of your friends have one sitting in a shed or garage that you want to get rid of, thanks

Dan

Speedy Mike

autocrossing is in north fort myers they have a 1 mile course, its really fun. if you go on saturday, it $20 to run all day, that includes school and lunch, not bad price to pay i think!

quickL98

iTrader: (2)

that sounds cool, i might try that in the future.

burnieslo

****, are you close to the civic center, or a lot farther east? my brother hangs out there, but i only go out that way to put in jetskis. where is moroso?

WckdDudeMan

so, who owns the iroc that was owning everyone on hoosiers in the rain?

Speedy Mike

alright, shagwell, your gonna be there right?? i want to see that car! dont make me put another suicidal smilie up...

WckdDudeMan

no one on here is the guy out at homestead last weekend?(i didnt go I heard from someone else)

TREK

has anyone heard of a meet at fuddruckers on US1 in s miami on the first saturday of every month.

Speedy Mike

yea, ive heard about it, my mom lives in homestead and ive heard there are some nice cars out there...if its still around..it was a while back that i heard about it...

TREK

ive heard about it also. one guy said it was the first saturday and another guy said he went last month but it was like the third or forth saturday of the month.

UCF1Slider

Orlando here. If anyone wants to help me find an LT1/T56 and do the swap with me on my 92 RS let me know!

WckdDudeMan

bah skip the lt1 either go carbed and automatic or go home....

(or attempt an ls1 swap...)

Shagwell

- WckdDudeMan - awww, come on man, nothing wrong with an LT1 intake. -

- 92transam16 - so where's this T56 you're giving me so I can be there??????I can stuff it in in one night, but ya coulda gave me a week atleast...

- burnieslo - The parents house(= garage for car) is right at the locks on the north side of the river(east of the civic center about 7-8 miles) I actually live in town, right by colonial and fowler...

WckdDudeMan

nah man I just hate dealing with a swap that requires electronics... I also hate dealing with FWD cars... and unibodies for that matter... HAHA

*cut out 3 paragraphs of ranting about life and cars being obnoxious and not having a garage or driveway, etc*

Shagwell

yet someone else who's afraid of "the black box"...
- A TPI 4x4 Tahoe and a blown TPI 4x4 suburban would probably scare the crap out of ya then, huh? Electronics are simple. Besides, he could be just swapping the motor and running his factory ecu/harness...

burnieslo

****- my girl lives right by page field across from villas elementary. you got along drive to pick up your car! but i understand i just moved and lost my garage
i'm replacing my rear end and adding SFC's. but i need a good body shop to check and alighn my uni body. do you know anyone good in town?

WckdDudeMan

ive seen the messes that truly radical swaps make(3.8 in place of a 2.8/3.1, 3400 in that same spot, electronically controlled 4 speed tranny) tracking down wiring errors are not fun... add in the general hassle of doing a swap in the first place on fwd cars... grrr, add in 92 degree weather, sunshowers, red ants, and no decent breeze and have to crawl around in the dirt while your working makes for a very annoying place to do anything(i did a full trim swap, and half of a motor swap before I gave up due to issues[hydraulic jack on the engine lift breaking was last straw] had the junkyard haul the parts car off, 40 when it was basically stripped, only paid 100$ though.)

I dont have the luxury of a driveway, or garage, or shop for that matter, to work in.

Shagwell

Thats why I make sure not to have any "wiring errors". I also wire as good as, if not better, than factory wiring. Solder and heat shrink everything, route through factory looms, etc...

burnieslo - a good buddy of mine works at a body/paint shop off of cargo dr. They have a frame machine, and they do excellent paint work.
- When I had my accident in my car(several years ago) Gene's, off metro, pulled the frame square...(slight tweak by steering box)

WckdDudeMan

heh... Im lucky if I have connectors for a wiring job... I dont have a decent soldering iron....

Shagwell

92transam16
since it's saturday the 4th, and YOU didn't bring my new trans, I guess I won't be there....hope ya have fun....
