83_Camaro_83

JamesY

It is?!!?!?! ****, got to get my car working

305q_ta86

Bwaaahhhhaaaa.. I wont have to subject the TA to the snow this time. Parked it and started driving the 87.


.....Which has really wide, really low-tread summer tires.

83_Camaro_83

yeah but those tires look so nice

83_Camaro_83

I have a problem....a big problem.....

So i was out paintballing (rampage) and the place has a pretty big dip to get out of the parking lot. As Im leaving I slowly go down, hear a THUD.....oh ****.....didt sound good. So me and my friends all park at Mcdonalds and I get out to look if i scraped my bumper or exhaust tip. Nothing. BUT, as we walk into Mcdonalds..... everyones worst nightmare......rust. So i drown my sorrows in a rootbeer. Then say good night to my friends and head home. WELL. Next morning Im curious about this phantom "rust" that just pooped up. So i go outside.....AND HOOOOLY ****. The rust gods visited me the previous night. Not like huge spots, but some hairline surface and then a finger nail size buldge and another surface spot on the fender. IM ****ING PISSED. Calgary = gay .....if it snows again Im seriously going to cry.

I think i need a winter beater from now on.......

anyone else with this kinda gay problem?? arrrggg..... winter sucks

iroc_cragg

thats not that bad, consider youself luck. Some guys have taken there car into get repainted and find that half there car is rusted out. Just take her in get her sanded down and spray some fresh paint on it.

TA gal

Yup,what he said above.A simple paint job on these cars can result in a ground up restoration.What you decribed is typical of a third gen car.I have lived in many provinces in Canada and Calgary tends to be fairly gentle on our cars.
You haven't seen rust until you sit in my friends 91 project GTA.When he pulled the carpet out of the car he found holes the size of dinner plates in the floor boards.We are still not sure how he managed to drive the damn thing home without falling thru.It was driven in Nova Scotia for a few years until he purchased it here for 1000 bux.Oh and I wont even mention the issues once the ground effects were removed.....

83_Camaro_83

yeah but the main reason why its pissing me off cause before winter the car looked so nice, zero rust, now, spots are everywhere.....i hate it

305q_ta86

*screams*

83_Camaro_83

notice me, im bored....lol

305q_ta86

Me too.


I just let my friend test drive the 87. And he did a third gear to reverse shift. Thankfully the synchros wouldnt hear of it, and he realized what he did before he released the clutch. Then I drove the rest of the way.

305q_ta86

OH! AND! Installed my trans cooler today. Wow. Awesome difference. Harder shifts. Also bought a new fuel pump to install son. But I am sort of afraid. And I still have to finish my rockers.



Think I should put my summer rims/tires on? I hate those steelies I have right now...

83_Camaro_83

oh its mr never on msn....lol..... i see your name is "gt4 is awsome" i cant stop playing it hahaha, wow, first car i tried to win was the IROC.....got it

BUt yeah, your friends an idiot....haha jk.....well maybe..... I let one of my budies drive mine in the snow, when it was nice out so we had the t tops off so we were getting alot of looks, and genious goes "watch me show these guys how to tail whip" next thing i know we are on the sidewalk......Im like....get out.....

Mr big big spender, I really need a job.... But yea, I dunno if it worth it to put summer rims on yet, its supposed to snow again sometime...

305q_ta86

lol whenever I come on msn you are set to away.

And yeah, my friend is a dumbass. He said it was because he was used to pulling it all the way over to the right to get it into fourth gear. I told dumbass that fourth was always directly back from third. Oi.

And the trans cooler was only ten bucks anyway.

As for tires, well it cant snow so much that I would need my winter ones for anything more than a day, an it?

83_Camaro_83

Yeah my msn is on 24/7 if im away im still sometimes there.

And what does this trans cooler do?? like.....what is it

But I guess if it snows, it will melt again fast, I hope. I still have my summer tires on and the same ones i did all those burnouts on

305q_ta86

Heh I did a burnout in my shop a while ago. We had a really dumb sub that day. She came into the shop to see what all the noise was, we said we didnt know, then she looks around and goes "wow, smokey..." and walk away.


Anyhow, the trans cooler is like another radiator. See, there is one already inside your radiator that does an ok job at cooling your transmission. But if you keep it cooler, it will last longer and shift harder. So I went to the yard and got one from a truck (you also need one of you're towing) and cleaned it out and slapped 'er on. I spliced into the return line to the trans so the fluid would already be somewhat cooled from the radiator, and then ran some high pressure hose out in front of the rad to the cooler that I mounted on those 2 metal bars that form an X about 4" forward of the rad. So now I have 2 trans coolers, and though I dont haul cargo or anything, I do haul ***, and now my trans is better protected against overheating in 'extreme driving conditions.'

83_Camaro_83

Sheesus, you remind me of an oil commercial hahaha

Mr fix it and his splicing into lines and ****.....wow, i would just give it to someone and say "do this" and slip them a bill. Im not lazy, but i just wouldnt wanna

Seeing as you were at "the yard" im thinking you meant pick your part?? if so....did you see and camaros with the 86+ GFX ?? cause i need a damn nose then i have them all.

Man i was just outside fixing some of the rust and wow.....its so nice out!.....If it snows, im going to cry. And for the past 2 days I havent had to scrape my windows of frost in the morning, i almost threw a party

83_Camaro_83

OH YEAH, So i finally found the GEN-3 website. So april 28th at sunridge bay parking lot??? WTF is sunridge bay? I wanna check it out

JamesY

Last time i was at PYP there were only 3 Camaros, 2 Berlinetta's and one Z28, but it had front damage so it wouldn't help you out, but then again that was probably 2-3 weeks ago now, there probably have one or 2 new ones atleast.

TA gal

We meet in the parking lot at Sunridge Mall....north side.....The Bay.....parking area...you get?

83_Camaro_83

Oh, well.....i do now So how does one join this club. Is it "v8 only". Do you turn your backs on v6's

305q_ta86

Last time I was at PYP was yesterday. Yeah, there was one car with the GFX you need, but the front had been completely PWNED. But yeah I meant pick your part anyway.

I also saw a late 70's TA go in there the other day. I think it was the 400, because it had a shaker hood. Man I wanted to get at that thing, but when I asked about it inside the guy said that he had already claimed dibs on it. Apparently employees get first pick. That's why there is NEVER ANYTHING GOOD IN THERE.

83_Camaro_83

Let me guess about the one you seen with the GFX

Red 89 camaro
silver GFX
missing the side gfx and bumper.
major front end damage and no engine

Im good arent i?? haha i should know cause im the one who took the side gfx and the rear bumper

Man you shoulda just "secretly" injured the guy that claimed the 400. see, you gotta think about these things first
