Also, to everyone who is out cruising SCREW YOU !!!!!
My car is stuck back home with at my parents house, with a vacuum leak I need to diagnose, and posible timing issues. So if for some miracle my car appeared down here this summer, looks like I'm going to be a spectator this summer.
that and my GF has claimed the one car garage at our stupid townhouse. she gets mad cause my air compressor is in "her way". I swear .... women?
Maybe I'll see some people over at National Trails, oh yea, their hosting the super chevy show end of Aug.

For those interested, Solon Commons is having their Camaro/Firebird night this coming Tuesday, 6/3. Shine it up and bring it on in guys. Let's see those rides. For more info check their site, Solon Commons
Take whatever way you can to get to Rte 422, take the Harper Road exit into Solon, (heading south), left at Aurora Rd which is Rt 43 and then make a right into the Commons. The lot is located all the way in the back behind the restaurant and theater.
I won't be making it. My car is still in kinda bad shape. Still need to take off the stealthram and try to get the intake resealed so it'll quit leaking oil. Also having pcv and blowby problems. Cars suck...
whats happenin yall! Solon was cool, lots of older Camaros, enuff to make anyone jealous! Only about 6 3rd Gens, 2 RS (including mine), 4 Zs. Not a bad turn out, my first car show (that i was a part of), enjoyed it alot! Going to Lakeshore Park in Ashtabula Sunday night. RT. 90 E. to RT 11 N. @ the end of 11, take a right, about .5 mi. and on the left is the park. Any other meets? Thompson has some but i dont know when. Columbus anyone? Im ready for the roll out season now. Alright, L8TR.
they have car shows here on thursdays at walmart in the parking lot if anybody is interested. It's usually every thursday evening unless theres bad weather.
Anit been around the computer much, dont want to get TOO addicted to porn lol. Anyways, bought some wheels, ill have adam post them for me so i dont take up 8 pages, HA! ANYWHO, any news on any cruise? L8TR

Ive seen some, not on anything round these parts, but i like the movement when they go down the road. Check out Summit, theres a pic that i wont try to post,all though, if i did post them, theyd look like 20's LOL!
After all the posts ive read, ur as broke as the rest of us so isnt that kinda ironic? lol. Ive seen ur havin probs with the car, whats up? U did an engine swap not too long ago? Thursdays sound good, just tell me which thurs. and ill try to make it, went to solon, only some prepies with daddys money (if any of u were there, im talking about the other guys lol.) Whens Broke as a Joke Cruise nite? L8TR
man i'm always having problems with my car, I fix something then something breaks. It's a never ending cycle. My MAF is messed up now. Not sure if it's a bad MAF sensor or one of the relays. Hopefully get something figured out tomorrow. I'll go up to walmart any thursday you want. They're also having car shows at BP at the intersection of 82 and 44 in mantua. Sundays from 6-8. I didn't do an engine swap, I just swapped on some go fast parts. Different cam, alot better heads, took off the tpi and put on a stealthram. Hopefully the car will be back up after this weekend. I'm getting blow by though so I might need to rebuild it. If I do i'll just end up selling some of my 350 parts and building myself a nice 406. Let me know when you're ready to go to one of the meets.
nunyo I was just out your way on sunday. Was up in Geneva on the lake hanging out, went fishing on lake erie with my gf and her parents. Seen some nice camaros up there. Lots of people driving up and down the main strip through town. If I can get my car fixed soon i'll be ready to go to some shows. The shows on sunday in Mantua are from 4-8. I stopped in there on sunday and there were only about 10-12 rides there. All of them were in great shape.
Any of you guys have some spare MAF relay plugs laying around? Maybe a couple off a junk car you have? I need the 2 plugs for the MAF power relay and MAF burnoff relay. I was hoping somebody might have some just laying around that way I won't have to hit up a junkyard. Drop me a line if you have them.
i hear thompson is having a huge blowout 4th gig. any 1 have info? geneva, i grew up there kinda. Where is Mantua ? how would i get there from 90? im still waiting 4 wheels. damn summit. got the pretty lugs! oooooooooo,aaaaaaaaaa! lol. adam, how far is Mantua from u? we should meet. im gonna check out thompson web site, find the info and post it. maybe we can meet there. never been, been past it a million times. hows gas $ out yalls way? anywho, L8TR
lol. fri @ 7 pm. Jet car showdown, all kinds of stuff. think i gotta go. some kind of jet kenworth. huge fireworks display. 10 bucks. not bad. ill be there, let me know if any of yall will be. by the way, wtf is a pilot bearing/bushing and where is it? somebody told me on my post in trannyland that its that not my syncros. 12 $ parts, but ive not heard of that. bolt on, burn out is about the extent of my know how. any info? get back to me on thompson. [url]www.thompsondragraceway. com. L8TR
the jet kenworth is bob motz's jet semi. it goes 220 mph in the quarter, i've seen it 2 times already. mantua is straight down 44. If you want to head out this way I can give you directions. I'm always ready to meet new 3rd gen guys. We can probably meet up next week if you want.
nunyo i'm not sure if i'll be able to take my car to walmart tomorrow or not. I'm having a hell of a time with the spark plugs on my car. I already cut the socket so I could get my old ones out. Still can't get 1 out because of the headers and all the new ac delco plugs are even longer then the bosch. We'll see how it goes today and tomorrow. Me and the gf will still be going i'm sure but who knows about my car.
I won't be ablr to make it anytime soon. Running 3.70's for now and my alternator acts like its gonna go. Also I don't have the money alot of people got laid off around here and theres no jobs right now, so i'm doing what i can to make money.
87ciz I run 3.70 gears in my 9 bolt. Do you have highway mode turned on in your chip? It's great to have with high gears. The car leans way out once you get up to 55 mph and you save lots of gas.
You have a highway mode in your factory chip, but almost always the highway mode is turned off by the factory. I'm not sure if it can be turned on in the factory chip, but I know if you get a custom chip like me then you can have it and it's great. I drove my car to the PA border and back and only used little over a quarter tank of gas. That was going 80 mph at 3000 rpm the whole way. You could probably find out if you can turn it on in the factory chip or not in the DIY prom section. Or just get ahold of clippjr8 and see what he says. He burns my chips and they always work great.
YOU WONT BE TO FAR FROM ME.YEP I CANT WAIT TO GET UP THERE. SOUNDS LIKE YOU PUT SOME WORK IN YOUR CAR. I JUST GOT MINE NOT SO LONG AGO. ITS IN GOOD SHAPE. JUST NEEDS SOME TLC, AND SOME MODS ON THE ENGINE.
