parma ,OH, i no about 4 ppl around that have them, but cant wait for the track to open up , just rebuilt a 350 and swaped it , im lookin for a 13.5 to 14.0

I know there are more people in the Buckeye State then what have shown so far!

yeah you're right. i've seen quite a few people on here with ohio in their profile that have never posted in here.

I see 3rd Gens all over Columbus!

ive went down to columbus a few times to look at f-bodys for sale most are complete junk for the prices there asking
last time i went down to look at an 88 iroc for 800 bucks told use over the phone car was 100% just needed a intake gasket we get down there the car turns out to be a black hard top 350 car with no ac and 4wheel disc but the engines got a crack the size of the san andreas fault down the valley and the floor is almost completely gone the 1/4s where rusted through needless to say i think its the last time im heading down that way for a car

Hey i live in waynesville which is around the dayton area. Tell me when and where you guys will meet up and i'll be their!

what up boyz columbus area here, newark ohio to be exact.

i'll be hitting this thread up in a couple more months if any locals feel like wrenching for free beer and or want cruise.

i barely know any1 with decent 3rd gens around me but, i c them from time to time post up boyz n girlz

What up...Columbus as well! Still working on my third gen to get it on the road! Payed $250 for it, but just found out the floor boards are more rotted then I thought!

awesome yah i paid 3,500 for mine it's a little less of a gem than i originally thought but, i still think i did ok. two small holes in the driver floor board and rusty windsheild frame from ****ed up t-top leakage........ has a new engine and tranny and clutch tho. Runs pretty good.

yah i'll be patching up my stuff and por-15ing the bottom of her once i can get some warm weather.

new grey interior to swap in, fix t-top leak, put it on a frame rack and tweek it back in to shape and then to paint for the messed up windsheild frame and fender... Should be good to go. new 2032 camshaft and ported 416s and ported intake to throw on her 2. I just want to hit 13z bad.

I am looking to hit that or quicker.......My brother-in-law has a friend who has a body shop and might have the machine needed to fix your frame....

I found that the owner I got this from went wire cutting crazy, so I managed to get it fired up last night at 1am.

I'm from lima ohio...
Not too many ppl around here with third gens either. I know of one and thats how i got into the third gens.
I bought one but got screwed on the title so had to sell it as a parts car now i'm looking for another one.
If you know of anyone selling them cheap let me know.
e-mail is t-mkuba@mail.com
Thanks,
Tim

I'm around akron/parma ohio depending on if schools in session

check out 3rdgen.org in the midwest section for more local guys including myself. i'm in ravenna. a few guys over there from the parma area.

i'm from painesville, which is appx. 30-35 miles east of cleveland.
if you see either my shitbox 'bird or the grannymobile, stop and say hi!



also, if anyone knows of a place east of cleveland that can do some frame work for me, get in touch. i wanna replace my clutch, but my frame is rotted @ the crossmember, so...uhhh...i need that fixed before i can do the clutch.

i bought my iroc in columbus. i live in the south west cleveland suburbs. good to see more 3rd gen owners than i thought there were in the area!

Im from Carroll Ohio, about 30 minutes southeast of columbus.

Been awhile since I posted in here but im from cincy if anyone wants to cruise sometime.

anybody planning on hitting the TA nationals this year?

I had a great time last year for my first time and i'm planning on it this year, but in no hurry for it to get here. I DO NOT want to rush away spring/summer with the hellish winter we've had.

Although it was only 42* yesterday, I had to wash mine up because of the foggy mess I drove through the day before.

some of you guys have some really nice cars and all but ohio isnt in the north east...i dont mean to be rude and maybe im missing somethign but???

from wikipedia:
The Northeastern United States is a region of the United States.[1][2] As defined by the U.S. Census Bureau, it covers nine states: Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. Delaware and Maryland are sometimes part of the Northeast census group because of their inclusion in the BosWash megalopolis but the Census Bureau includes them in the South Atlantic region.[3]

yea you are correct but the forum for midwest never tends to deal with anything past IL
maybe had you posted this back 14 pages ago someone would have noticed and even cared

i think most people are from north east ohio sorry to all that are not but thats most likely what they assumed when posting an ohio thread in the north east section

So maybe we can get a mod to swap it over to the midwest REGION. I've had it done, why not for this one.

MODS.....HOOOOOOOOOOOO

THUNDER...THUNDER.....THUNDER MODS

sorry, like i said i wasnt trying to be rude...i saw it and it just seemed like you were all posting in the wrong place =P

Because the fact that this thread exists probably hinders your day to day life I'm sure.....

This thread has been here since 2002. I think if there was an issue it would have been moved within the last 6 years. The "midwest" section appears to not include Ohio, so that is why it is probably here. They could do a better job of the state break downs I will admit. Looks like you're a newb here so welcome.

Agreed with the wrong catagory, but if wasnt specified which states they considered in that catagory, but they did in others.


By the way I,m from OHIO and looking to get hooked up with some guys. No one around here that doesnt have something shoved up there yoohooo to far to do anything. Check my Track day post if anyone is interested.

Mid-West Region
Regional message board for WI, IL, IA, MI, MO, and MN to organize gatherings, meetings, and to help each other out.

i don't see ohio listed in there...

Yeah, I have no idea what Region Ohio falls under. Is there a Region titled "Armpit of the Nation"?

Anyway, Hi all! I'm from Stow, like 20 minutes away from Summit Racing...

welcome to the site. i live over in ravenna, i'm in stow every friday night at the bowling alley. we'll have to meet up sometime. what's the info on your 3rd gen?

So do you guys ever get together b/c some of you guys cars i would love to see them! Also i hope some of you guys could help me out with my ride! So i'm in Waynseville!
thanks
kevin

Been looking through the threads. This one has gone forever! Im From Delaware OH, 20min North of Columbus.

Looking forward to taking my 'bird out of the garage this spring, summer and fall. I checked it out and my battery is dead. Tried to jump it and nothing?

Hmm. I'm not too mechanically inclined. Anyone interested in helping a brother out? I need diagnosis. Pretty sure I have a short in the electrical system. Best to take it to a dealer or does someone know a better alternative?

Thanks, it's a pretty kickass site. You go to the bowling alley on Fishcreek? I live like three minutes from there. As soon as I get the camaro up and running, we'll cruise around or something(knock on wood).

Welp, to make a LOOOONG story short, my car pooped out on me, one time too many, and my 2nd parents (that's part of the long story) offered me their 92 RS, if I could get it up and running.. The catch is it's been sitting for 4-5 years, exposed to the elements, so there's a big issue with the clearcoat peeling off, and some rust(untill I work some magic on that, hehe..), and some sort of rodent got at the wires on the passenger side... Plus, there's still the issue that caused it to stop running in the first place, whatever that may be. Not to mention what happens to a car that's been sitting for that long.

So far, I think I've repaired the wire damage, so now I have to find out why it won't start. But the battery is dead, so I have to charge it ( too poor at the moment to get a new one) before I can tell if the clicking noise is just the battery, or the starter. I really hope it's the battery.

That was the shortened version, I skipped all the fun stuff, like how I spent 7 hours on it today, in the rain, and the battery died before I could get the trunk lid to close. But I did get 6 out of 8 wires replaced. And I have to say, I give much respect to anyone who can change the plugs and wires on a 305, I still haven't figured out how to do the two on the drivers side closest to the firewall.

So now I'm trying to get rid of my Accord and use what little money I get from that to fix the Camaro.
----------

We should get together sometime(if I can get mine up and running). Where's Waynesville?

toledo man here....is there anyone close that maybe could help work on my car, theres a little problem im having with it and need some help...

What ya havin problems with? Im from the sylvania/toledo area

sweeet! it like starts and runs for a few seconds then spudders and shuts off...if you want me drop me a line and maybe come over...im going to maybe get my tattoo worked on but other than that i dont really have anything going on...419 329 0513 if you wanna swing by...im by holland sylvania and sylvania

sounds like what my iroc was doing. does it have problems starting after it quits running? if you havent already change your fuel filter its like $3 and it probably hasnt been changed. then make sure your getting spark after it shuts off i checked before i started mine and i had spark after it ran and stopped no more spark. it was the ignition module in my case.

it does if you try to start it right after it dies....you have to shut it all the way off...and then restart it

I work 2nd shift but i can see if i can help maybe next weekend.

Id check fuel pressure, vacuum and map sensor. Try starting the car with gas petal all the way pressed down and see if it will stay running. On my friends tpi 305 it wouldnt stay running because of bad map sensor

its got a brand new one on it..i just bought it the other day

If you got aim hit me up at gtkiller1987 and ill try my best to help.......i do have the rest of the day off

you wouldnt happen to live off alexis or somethin and went to northview would you?

yup and yup......evidently you know me, i have no clue who ya are though

I live in lake county...Euclid to be exact and if anybody has been to Thompson dragway they have the wheelie event May 24th I beleive. Would be a great oppurtunity to meet up. Lets not forget about PINKS coming to summit raceway(AKA norwalk) in the summer.

Im thinking on getting stickers made that say

"I RACE AT Summit Motorsports Park NORWALK"

Imagine the underline being a strikethrough

I hate when people change names of a place so widely known.

shelby...its chadd
