Oh I hope it's good too. If it's real nice I might even see my cousin there. '87 GTA...real nice.

Anyone else thinking about saturday? I might be tired because I'm going to fright night tomorrow! LOL

I don't think i'll make it this week. Helping a friend with his car tonight. Looks like its going to be raining anyway.

We'll see if i can dig up some gas money. I got time tonight, but i'm broke and it looks like rain

may go if it dont rain. think i'm gonna clean the car up today

Yea I am not going either. I went to Kennywood last night for Fright Night and man am I tired.

Too tired to wash my car, too tired to drive it, and no money for gas! lol

I'm letting the buckets of rain do that for me.


Safe to say i can't go tonight. Oh well.

raaaaiiiinn

Anyone going to Flashlight drags tomorrow? If it doesn't rain that is.

no rain this weekend

I THINK there is a test and tune SUNDAY but i'm not sure. Gotta call PRP to verify. Its listed on schedule but not on the front page

There was a 91-92 white bird with a cowl hood behind me today on 65 at the sewickley bridge. Not sure if its anyone on here but I saw you give me the devil horns as I pulled away. Didn't get a good look at the whole car but it looked mean in my rear view mirror with that hood.

the only car i nkow like that is Noahs car but i dont think he goes out that way

He has the one with wheels like yours on Pittspeed right? I didn't see the wheels but I thought the white with a cowl hood looked familiar.

I got a job, so I can finally do stuff to my car.

he has black Z06 wheels on his car. mine are grey C6's

hey guys, sorry I havent been around much. Anything going on this weekend?

Not for me, i have homecoming to go to, now i just got to get the camaro all nice and shiny to drive to homecoming!

I might be up for something this weekend. It's supposed to be nice out. Who knows how long that will last. I'm not sure what's going on anywhere other than the Irwin cruise.

Irwin Show?

If It doesn't rain. I'll probably be there being that you guys go. I'm washing the car tomorrow, and I secured my job so the Camaro will soon be nice(er).

It looks like the weather will be great so I will be there. Its about an hour drive for me so hopefully some of the members will be there to hang out with.

Hey man what time do you think you will be there? I'm like 10min away so I'll probably go. We will probably be the only thirdgens haha. Too bad my car needs washed real bad.

If I start my car up, white smoke goes everywhere so it's pretty embarrasing haha.

i was gonna start stripping my interior this weekend and i may start on the rear hatch area and take out the rear seats for now. I'd like to hit up that show tomorrow

if i go i wont get there till 6 or so

I'm supposed to be heading out to Norwin tomorrow night for the show so look for me unless i post otherwise.

I may have a few rides in tow with me like my dads 82' GT and a friend's drag-prepped S10.

also, anyone know where i can get the foglight assembly for my Iroc? Mine is "aftermarket" and i was looking for an original one.

Mine does that too sometimes. According to carcruises.com its starting at 430 now. I'll probably be there around 5 unless i get hung up tomorrow. It takes me about an hour to get there so i'll post something right before I leave.

Ok I might see you guys there. I had a bad night last night and don't really feel like doing anything.

I'm about to leave the shop. Should be there around 5.

Sorry dude, can't go...parents needed the car to run errands while their car got something with the alignment done. My car doesn't deserve to be at a show anyways when nothing works. haha

It happens. Was a pretty good show. A few members were there.

Blah, I gotta make it to another Car Cruise before I park the car this winter. I just work so damn much I dont have time lol. Just worked a 10 hour shift today. You can tell Im really serious about getting this 400 SBC/TH400 thing finished by Spring.

I should be getting some money soon anyway, some mfer rearended me after school Friday. I coulda killed the little ***, but luckily it looks like its just paint that came off my rear bumper. Im waiting for the insurance adjuster to come out and look at it so I havent taken the rear bumper off to see if there is anything, but it wont matter because Ill just be getting more money I suppose. I can get any of the rear bumper supports off of this Notchback Im taking parts off of Sunday which will be little to no cost cuz the guy who is parting it out got it for free an is my Dads friend. AND I painted the car myself so not only do I still have some paint left (So I wont have to go buy any) but I planned on repainting the rear bumper anyway because there were a few runs in the paint and the bottom ground effects are being painted Silver lol. So really Ill just be getting money to dump into the car is how I see it.

But anyway, Im going to be taking parts off this Notchback today but if you guys want me to grab you anything let me know, or if you guys know someone who might want to buy the Notchback Hatch. I might end up with the whole car minus the hatch who knows lol.

anyone up for a meet this afternoon?

ruber you drive to walmart in greengate plaza by hempfield we can hang ahahah.

i would but i have no idear where thats at.

You happen to know where Greensburg/Jeannette is?

Nope, as a 16 year old that goes to school 5 days a week, i dont get out much other than driving to school.

Fun day! I wasn't able to make it out to norwin last night, but i more than made up for it today. Added alittle over 150 miles to the clock along with many hours. Me and dad took the Iroc and the mustang (respectively) cruising. We had the camera and we stopped alot along the way to take some pictures (which i'll post a link to later tonight). Finally we ended up at the Caste Village cruise and hung there for maybe half an hour.

Oh and i stuff my baby into a mini-ditch doing a 3 point turn on a hill. Some of you may know my car is having tranny problems. Well, reverse decided it didn't want to come to the show today so when i put it in reverse to back up, it went forward and slipped into a ditch.

No damage though. Worst part of the ordeal was easing it out of the ditch. At the angle i slid in there the rear tires were kinda light and they spun on my way out.


Lastly, If i remember right there is a general Test/tune at PRP in 2 weeks (Saturday). If it's nice out i want to go get a baseline on my project (17 second quarter anyone?) Before i go to town starting next month. Anyone wanna go? You'll have a fun time embarrassing me!

next weekend the 18th there is a TnT and next week after that the 25th. I want to make atleast ONE of those events if not all of them but i have to see. I want the cage installed by next weekend and ready to race the 25th

Well lemme know because if I'm going to embarrass the thirdgen crowd we'll need you to balance it out.

lol naw man you'll do fine. just gotta drive the **** out of it !

Man I'm still not that good yet (though i've cut my shift times in half since last time i tried to figure it out.), and i'm having serious problems with the car. Well not serious, but bad enough to hurt my times. The gears are alittle rough, the clutch slips alittle, and I need a new computer. About 1/5 times i pull out the car fights me like a bit**, bucking and jerking and trying to stall. Just smack the dash and she goes docile again. I think i'll be happy with a 16 something as a starting point. Besides, what'd a stock LB9 T5 run anyways? 15? 15.3? Add on 160k miles of wear (bad wear too. the guy who owned the car before abused it), and the fact she's not in top tune anyways, and i think a high 16 will be fine.



edit: here's that link http://www.thirdgen.org/techboard/ca...hotoshoot.html

Orr, you decide what TnT you're going to? I've pretty much decided i REALLY want to do this.

im thinking about going to tnt on the 18th (tommorow ) if its nice out.

I was thinking the same exact thing. Now we just needa get Orr in on the deal .


What kinda times you think you're going to run??

not sure really , ive never ran my car actually never been to the track either. basically i just want to get a base run to see what it does..... i would hope atleast 15's lol.

cool! so we should be shooting for very similar goals and times right? you're running a carbed 305 and i'm running a TPI 305. Hmmm


but! I was just told by a guy who lives about 2 miles from the strip that there is no WAY to get close to the dragstrip this weekend if you dont want to wait. All those highways being closed have funneled people down to that one road to the strip.


maybe next Saturday would be a better choice?

ill go the back road that leads to the track if its bad but trafiic shouldnt be bad .

I think traffic is going to be horrible personally.Plus i have to head up that road for almost 20 minutes if i remember right. I'm not sure if i know backroads for 20 minutes worth of main roads.

But I guess what you're saying is that you're going tomorrow weather permitting... Well I'll see if I can IM orr tonight. If he's heading up I'll try to get there but no promises.

well i just got home from tnt and have a base time of mid 15's at 88 to 89 mph . .... what a great time and there were probbly 7 third gen's and hardly any traffic.

did you take the backroads or did you take 22?

I'll have to shoot for low 15's at 90+

backroad up and 22 home but 22 up wasnt bad either. the most back up i seen was people getting into the track itself.

very nce man, thats good for a 305. i dropped my car off last night to get the roll bar welded in. Drove it an hour or so to get there and the car i think got decent mileage Not sure how much i used tho, but it was 42 miles or so.

Should have the car back by monday night or tuesday night depending. Trying to race next weekend here
