Im in Dumfries but used to live in Woodbridge. And ive been known to be at the burger king/mc donald's sometimes myself! Once I finish my car ill be up their for sure.

Maybe anyone wanna help me the end of this month work on my car? [already got a few people who will help, but the more the merrier I say and we normally order pizza or bbq or something]

K5JMP

end of this month as in this weekend... or end of July?

I was at the burger king show this past saturday with my car. If and when the weather is nice i plan to go more frequently.

End of this month as in end of July. Interested in helping? If you need any help with anything Ill help you also.

And yeh over at Burger King Ive been like 3 times and every time ive seen some real nice cars. Once I went though and there was only like 6 raised trucks and like no other cars, it was weird.

K5JMP

dunno, but will keep it in mind... lol
kinda buried here at the moment. got 3 messes in progress at the same time.

which BK are you guys talking about?

Timothayyy

iTrader: (2)

hah hah, well just let me know.

Its a burger king right across the street from a mcdonalds, its in on route 28 near manassas airport.

K5JMP

I know where that is... kinda close to the burger joint that closed down... can't recall the name right offhand though.. lol

Klien's... that was it.. DOH!!!

Is this on Saturdays? There is a meet at Brewsters on 610 saturdays from noon till dark. Never been to it though....

Hey.. went out to the duck tonight... Allyen ran a 6.51... not too shabby for a poor prep night

Timothayyy

iTrader: (2)

Yeh, its mostly every saturday.... later it gets in the day the more ricers that show up though, lol. But theirs normally bunch of suckstangs, vettes, saw a Ford GT one time. I havent been since last september probably, need to finish my dang car so i can bring it up their

Never been to the brewsters one either.

Whats the duck? Manassas 1/8 mile track? Old dominion, right?

K5JMP

SummerDuck Dragway... it's this little track tryin to live down a bad rep... way out in the stix though. Short, bumpy shutdown with a left-turn in it.. LOL

Allyen is a good dude! this is the car I was tweakin' tonight.. moreso the driver.. lol


decent burnout last fall footin' it.....


Leaves on the brake this year and trips the 60's on the slicks..


new paint fer spring

Timothayyy

iTrader: (2)

Only about 45mins away from me. Its 1/4mile or 1/8th?
Might have to run my car there to see what shell run when im done with this buildup.

Thats your camaro though? Looks real nice!

K5JMP

no, not mine.. I'm more a roadcourse guy these days..

1/8 mile.. should be a map on the site I linked.

Have never timed my current car, but maybe sould give it a whack.. lol
I haven't staged any car in over 20yrs... eeeek!

this one is mine..




I also own an '87 IROC so don't beat me down too bad.. lol lol lol

Timothayyy

iTrader: (2)

Very nice camaro!
Exhaust looks sick, love the blacked out look, think its "murdered out" or whatever those rapper people say, lol.

Hopefully ill see you around at burger king or something when ever I finish my Birdie.

And if you know anyone who wants a low mile [47k mile] stock 700r4 im going to sell mine once im done with the T56 swap. Or itll just sit in the garage, hah hah.

eeeeeefirebird

iTrader: (3)

i may take the 700, i got one now that i bought from on here that is supposedly rebuilt but it wont be going in for awhile. but while its taking the abuse i may grab another trans to rebuild to put back there permanently

Timothayyy

iTrader: (2)

Thats fine, just make an offer. It shifts perfect and has no problems and like I said only 47k miles on it. Ill have it out of my car by the first week in august [going on vacation on sunday]. If you could just pick it up and pay in cash that would be easiest i guess.

K5JMP

jump on it man! I've bought 2 this week... going to get one tomorrow. the other is coming from Jersey, and it's built.
they die so easy might as well grab a spare for a good price

anybody wanna buy a Vette? got an '80 needs an interior.. and an '84, really clean car.... need muns for an early 2nd gen RS.. lol

Timothayyy

iTrader: (2)

I love those late C3 vettes...... if only I dident have to spend another 3k on my car

K5JMP

could make ya a really sweet deal... lol

Timothayyy

iTrader: (2)

That thing is beautiful!

What engine/trans it got in there?

I really wish I could buy it, but I dont see myself being able to swing it by for at least a few months, since like i said gotta spend about a bunch more on my car to finish it.

I mean, do you play guitar? I got a 1996 Gibson Les Paul Custom, black with cream trim and gold hardware [paid 1600$ for it a few years ago], thats about the only high $$$ thing I got other then my car, lol.

But I mean if you give me a good deal and can wait then ill try to scrap some money together, because that vette looks oh so good.

K5JMP

I've been completely through the suspension with poly's, new SS brakes all 4 corners, crate 350, performer intake, holley 750DP... headers in the shed.. lotsa parts lol... like I said...

I'd go 7k...

wifeys car is the bargain though.. pristine '84 survivor.. stack of docs over 8" thick. she would do 7.5k. her car hauls ***! cross-fire injection with a tweaked chip!

Timothayyy

iTrader: (2)

Yeh too much $$$ for a poor college student, lol. Its a beautiful car though, im sure you will find someone who will buy it for 7k though, its a good price.

K5JMP

it's fair... lots of cars for sale with the economy tanking...
better deals down the road!!
bide your time and save your nickels for a real score

Timothayyy

iTrader: (2)

Oh yeh, ive seen some real great cars for under 2,000$ with very cheap simple problems with them, even seen a few with none just higher mileage on them.

K5JMP

I'd go 6 if ya brought cash tomorrow.. lol

Timothayyy

iTrader: (2)

I would take it for 6k, but I think if I went and took a 6k loan at the bank my parents would probably kill me, hah hah [sometimes it sucks living with your folks]

Earliest I could get it would be november or december, because by then ill have my Firebird all taken care of and ill be able to spend my paychecks on buying another car and also with x-mas and my birthday in december my parents would probably help me out.

But since you want to sell it like now, im afraid I cant get it.
But let me show my mom the car and see if she wants to spot me some money, lol.

K5JMP

This car is not perfect.... interior is pretty rough in fact, which is why its cheap to buy.. LOL

Also not a real good time to be borrowing money...
I have a feeling the economy is gonna tank pretty hard and soon. Better deals in the future as folks run out of money and creditors call notes due to survive...

If ya can't pay cash for a toy, I wouldn't go into debt to buy it... just my thoughts on the matter. Save your money and ya get a way better deal in the end. Just look at the number of cars for sale on this forum alone... several... like this one

Timothayyy

iTrader: (2)

Yeh, she said its nice, but doesent want to lend me any money for a few months since she has bills also.

My Firebird is almost exactly the same as that camaro except the pontiac version and I got mine for 2700$ with only 38,xxx miles on it.

But I saw someone selling a 1989 Trans Am GTA a couple months ago with 110k miles and it was an L98 but the 700r4 was rough on it and they were selling it for 1200$ and this car was nice, thats the kind of deal I need to look for, lol.

I am in Falls Church and desperately in need of some assistance with my 91 RS!! I posted a thread about three days ago about a problem.... my battery, starter... or ?? I went to start the car and everything seemed to be o.k., but as soon as I turned the key.... the grim reaper took the life completely from the car!!!!! No dash lights, no dome, NOTHING. it was suggested that I get the battery checked out and I did. It was shot. I also had the starter tested and it was good. I got everything hooked back up...AND THE REAPER SHOWED UP AGAIN!!! I can not figure this out for anything!! I was just wondering if anyone lived in the area that could school/ help me with this?

kerplunk318

iTrader: (3)

what do your battery cables look like? how long was the new battery hooked up before you tried to start it? Are your grounds all hooked up and in good shape?

K5JMP

+1^^ that is where I would start... and check the connection on the back of the alternator and starter solenoid.
