It does that at random with no power on.

The computer at work has crappy sound and it doesn't make sense two hours after you shut it off but, a friend of mine had a saturn that made a similar sound evertime he shut it off. Eventually we found a kinked vacuum line. It would sort of whistle until all of the vacuum from the canister leaked out. Not sure it that would be the same but its something to look at.

hmm thats possible. I got home at 2:30 yesterday, didnt even go outside. My gf came over a little after 9 and she said it made the noise as she walked by... so 6.5 hours later. One of these days I'm gonna have to poke around underneath.

Anyone going to Irwin today?

t/agta · 08-16-2008, 12:35 PM

i'm cleaning the car today so in a few hours i'll be done. MAY make it out to irwin but i wanna work on tuning the car today

deadman · 08-17-2008, 02:00 PM

i was there for about 1 1/2 hours but went home and broke down, my pos wire from the battery to the starter melted on the headers .

Orr89RocZ · 08-17-2008, 04:53 PM

i cleaned the car up and it looks really nice, but i went for a drive to tune it and it was 7pm time i got home so i was like i'm not driving 30 min out there it was already kinda late.... oh well maybe next week.

I just cant wait for the dragstrip this wednesday. Lets see if the CAI helps

deadman · 08-17-2008, 05:09 PM

any pics of the cia?

Orr89RocZ · 08-17-2008, 06:00 PM

deadman · 08-17-2008, 06:33 PM

looks good , is your rad overflow box in the way or is it ok?

Orr89RocZ · 08-17-2008, 08:56 PM

Its clearing just fine but i'm looking at getting a smaller box like you guys have. That be awesome!

On a whim today i decided i might want to trade my project Iroc for a Project 85-91 TA/GTA/Formula. Anyone out there know of a rust free hardtop one? Engine/tranny dont matter, and that includes NO engine and tranny (if thats the case i may actually sell my grand am and have 2 fbodies). I always kinda liked the birds better.

hotrod16105 · 08-26-2008, 05:25 PM

Is anyone going to the Irwin cruise this saturday. I was thinking of heading out there again if anyone is going to be there.

deadman · 08-26-2008, 09:28 PM

i probbly wont make it. im having a tumor in my face removed that has cancer in it, but i got a wonder bar installed today and if you dont have one its definatly worth the money.

Orr89RocZ · 08-26-2008, 10:31 PM

got driver side subframe connector in today. Still some spots i may weld up more but its holding so far.

Gonna finish up the passenger side tomorrow. Gonna rain so no track day. Hopefully friday it clears out and i can go but i'll probly have a hockey game

deadman · 08-27-2008, 08:04 PM

i got some new wheels today . i like these on Orr89RocZ car so i copied him.

Orr89RocZ · 08-27-2008, 08:37 PM

nice! good choice!

Gotta weld my rear part of the subframe connector and then its ready to go. i hope it holds. Not a whole lot of space to weld to up front so i had to make some braces to weld to. I hope my welds hold up. i think they will

did you have your car lowered with your 5 stars on?

Orr89RocZ · 08-27-2008, 11:13 PM

yeah it always had a prokit on it. front is slammed but rear sits nicely. with the 26 inch tires now it fills the wheel well up nicely

i dont like how the fronts are way tucked in. 15x4 i think it is, but its not spec'd right for these cars. I may go get 1 inch spacers

deadman · 08-28-2008, 09:57 AM

im no fan of the wheel gap right now. out of cash right now so i have to deal with it.

Orr89RocZ · 08-28-2008, 06:07 PM

front looks like it could go down a bit but its not that bad as it sits

what sizes did you get?

ruberbanman126 · 08-29-2008, 09:31 AM

Does anyone live in Bellevue or Avalon?

ummm wow, what did you do??

deadman · 08-30-2008, 07:04 PM

i had a tumor the size of a golf ball that thought to be cancer but turned not to be. i got really lucky.

Orr89RocZ · 08-30-2008, 07:18 PM

good deal man, glad its not cancer.

Orinackra · 08-30-2008, 09:17 PM

omg thats crazy!

On a side note, went to the Irwin show today, and not ONE single thirdgen firebird/ta. What the heck guys?!?!?! I guess I cant say much, cause mine wasnt there either.
