5/20 or 5/21 is fine with me, I was just suggesting both dates to include as many of you guys as possible I know you work late on weeknights del so that's another reason. My brother will come if he gets it smogged this week, so I hope he passes.

wills83z28cfi

I won't be able to make it out this meet. I have to work on Friday and then work early Saturday morning, really don't have the gas money right now either. Have to catch you guys another time.

As of next week I'll have snagged another promotion and will get to drop this crappy shift for good.
So if we don't git 'r done this weekend as it seems most folks are busy, I can get out in the future.

Where did you get a job Will?
Did you quit Cingular I think it was caz of Idanohoes?

wills83z28cfi

Nice job Eric, any pics? Hope to see her out soon one of these weekends.

wills83z28cfi

I got a job detailing cars at Suds Car Wash, it's located in El Dorado Hills. It sucks and I am still looking around for something else. The only reason I quit Cingular is because I had a new job in Idaho and was planning on moving up there. I changed my mind on moving only 2 days before the final move date, and had my final day at Cingular on the Friday before the move date. If it wasn't for my Dad f-ing me over I would have moved. I wish I was still at Cingular, everything would be fine. I tried to get the job back and they said they had over hired in the first place and wouldn't be hiring again for a while. *** my dad and Cingular. Life really sucks right now.

Hey now Will, don't be so down on urself bro!

At least you still have a fine lookin' Camaro

When I am in a F.T.W. mood, I usually like to blast down the freeway at night with the tunes up and the pipes blaring. "Thirdgen Therapy" I'd have to call it...

Although maybe I have done too much Thirdgen Therapy at 6000 RPM and am overdue for a session because of my rod knock.

Well,that sucks Will,something better will come along.At least you get to be outside and around some cool cars.I know what you mean about dads f-ing you over,mine has done it for years,he now lives in his van in sac so now who gets the last laugh.Whenever I get the chance I go down and show off,family,cars,$$$.It'll get better,especially since you have a fiance who loves you,nice thirdgen and good friends.Once you get married it'll get better too,exept for the constant nagging,yelling,complaining,nah just kidding,marrage is cool Good luck and keep us posted.

I do the same thing get up(or don't go to sleep)at about 3:30am and hop on the freeway no music windows half way down doing 120+mph a couple times and Im good. no wonder I've been fellin latly no therapy for the last 6 months.

DADS---- Im sure that could be a whole thread I stopped having faith in mine in the early 90's to much now I don't hold my breath

I feel your pain brother, I need to get my new motor installed ASAP, I'm going nuking futs...

And my 'ROC's only been down for like a week.

wills83z28cfi

Thanks for all of the uplifting words guys. You are true friends. I also like to drive fast and listen to loud music when I am pissed, hearing the exhaust rumble is my therapy too. I will keep you guys updated as new things happen and come along.

Eric, pm me with some job info, thanks for the help.

so are we meeting up on friday or saturday

wills83z28cfi

I know I won't be able to make it out this weekend. Catch you guys next time, have fun.

Cali Z

my brother and I are free to meet up this fri/sat if anyone else wants to. So if anyone wants to just post so. Hopefully someone wants to. If not, we can meet another time.

Robby

i didnt get off till 7 tonight and had to meet the guy to sell my nitrous so i cant make it tonight. and tomorrow i dont get off work till 10. i am for sure going to the track this wednsday though! yipee.

OUTATIME GTA

iTrader: (2)

Why the nitrous sale Travis?
Something new in the works for the track?
I'll be out and about Sat. night on Sunrise.

TraviZ

iTrader: (2)

i got bored of it. it was way fun but whatever.. i also needed the cash right now. i wanna get my intake and cam done. then ill supercharge it. thats the way im going right now.

vindeezl

iTrader: (2)

Sounds like a plan to me El TraviZio!

I definitely will be off this weekend's meet list, I want to make that 28th Six Flags date if it's still on though.

87tpi

iTrader: (5)

I should be able to go but it will only be for saturday,not both days and I will most likely be in a rental car so...Big fun!

vindeezl

iTrader: (2)

Can I ride w/ you bro?

Cali Z

hey Del do you want to meet up tonight?

OUTATIME GTA

iTrader: (2)

What time are you going to be out Robby?
I've got some plans w/the woman in the eve. and will most likely not be out rollin' around Sunrise with her until after 10pm.

I hope to come out and cruise more than I did last year.
What's the point of having a fun car if you don't get to take it out and get into some trouble w/it.
(Not Eric kinda trouble, haha)

wills83z28cfi

Glad to hear you are selling the nitrous Travis. An intake, cam, and supercharger are for sure the way to go. A nice cam is on my list to do by next summer. There is nothing like the raw horsepower you will get from your new set of mods, nitrous just can't compete in my opinion.

vindeezl

iTrader: (2)

Well said Will!

Cali Z

Darn, just my luck, the car's running fine then I go to cruise last night and my alternator fails, that sucked. This is my 3rd alternator in 4 months. Then i had to replace my fan motor as it was going out at the same time. Lets hope this doesn't happen next time.

OUTATIME GTA

iTrader: (2)

I hope you have an alternator w/ a lifetime warranty.
I've been there with my V6 Firebird.
Went through 4-5 alternators over 5 years till I found one that lasted.
That's one thing I can change quickly now in our cars.

There will be plenty more nights to cruise.
I had some fun against an '04 GT last night.
He though he was pretty hard, but I kept a length on him for the most part.

wills83z28cfi

Robby, get a GM alternator, they last and have a lifetime warranty, I can get you one with a discount if you want, just pm me and let me know. If not a GM, like Del said spend the extra money and get a aftermarket one with a lifetime warranty.

Del, wished I could have been there to cruise the other night. Hope to be out soon. Nice job on keeping up with the GT. Where did you cruise around and race this GT?

vindeezl

iTrader: (2)

Get the Autolite Alternator from Kragen's, it has a lifetime warranty and I have used it.

It's less expensive than the GM, plus I'm a sucker for the NASCAR logo stuff

New GT's on top of being uber-ugly are slower than my 'ROC (before the knock, doc). I ran this 40yr old guy that thought he was 16 and revved at me only to be raped off the line and never caught up.

Dented quarter panel, bad paint and all, bet he was wishing he got a Thirdgen and put a down payment on a house

wills83z28cfi

That's funny Vin.

Cali Z

ok I got a 85 amp alternator with a warranty on it and a new fan motor so everything's working fine now. Hopefully things stay okay for the next gtg.

-Robby

wills83z28cfi

Sweet Robby, hope to see you at the next gtg, I still have yet to see your new car, plus I want to run with you.

Cali Z

yeah will one of these fri/sat nights soon we need to have a meet to kick things off for the summer time. I think you're gonna own me in terms of racing, but maybe it will be kinda close. the car has ran a bit better with adjusted timing, even though there still isn't a timing marker on it, 19lb injectors, and305 ecm. eric's probably pissed off at me for not changing those yet.

crossfire> my tpi how ironic.

porkyzilla

iTrader: (1)

i got my iroc running again....heheh

OUTATIME GTA

iTrader: (2)

Down Sunrise,went for a ride w/my gal.
He kept rolling into the starts at 10-15 mph before he would hit it and let me know he was racing.
I think he was afraid of the TPI torque.
Either way, he never got ahead.
I think newer GT's (00-04) are my fav to race because they usually think they're pretty hot and really aren't, w/only 260hp before mods.

On a side note, I think a Will vs Robby race would be close.

souperman28

sounds like the meet was cool, i hope to come out to the next one in the summer. I havnt been to one yet but i will one of these days!

wills83z28cfi

The sooner you come out the better, we like meeting new thirdgens, and people too.

Robby, you never know who is going to be faster. We will find out for sure next meet.

Del, how was the cop patrol when you went cruising? Were there a lot of people hanging out that night and driving around, did they shut the lights off on Sunrise?

porkyzilla

iTrader: (1)

im not mad i just want your car to be at its full potiential

as far as the timing goes well we can put a mark on there i know how to do it without a timing mark

basically you bring #1 to tdc compression and than that will tell you where your at with the motor off you than can mark it..and adjust... not that hard again i have to see your car to help you bro

irocdaddy

Hey Will-

F...that car wash stuff. I work at Franchise Tax Board in Rancho Cordova....we have jobs here!!!!! I can help you....

Another Note......

I need help getting my Iroc back on the road. I need someone to come over and swap thier maf onto my car. I think mine is bad, but I don't know.

I think I have a mean combo, but can't get it out of the garage.

kairles

iTrader: (2)

one of my friends works at Franchise Tax Board, don't know if it the rancho one he say's its seasonal he works 9 months out of the year

what part of Sac you in I have a MAF that is good or should be its basically new.

try unpluging it if it runs better its bad, or you can tap it lightly and if the car's idle changes its bad

porkyzilla

irocdaddy

Porkzilla-

Hi, my name is David..thanks for the huge offer. I have a buddy coming by Sat. morning with a maf to test with. If that falls thru, can I take you up on that offer? I take Coloma to Sunrise everday home from work.

Lots of under hood goodies…HeHeHe.

Cali Z

ya i definetly would like my car to be at it's potential, I'm sure my transmission slipping/not shifting good, 305 comp, 19lbs inject, stock airfilters, unknown timing, unknown block aren't helping me get to where i want, or know where my engine should be at. But as of now, it feels faster than those mid 16's, so at least I have that going for me.

low 16's baby, here I come

OUTATIME GTA

iTrader: (2)

A few cops, lights were a blinkin' as always and there was a decent amount of folks out.

Hey David -
What's your classification at FTB?
I got a buddy that started there as a KDO, now an AISA on Folsom/Bradshaw.
I'm at DOJ, hoping to get to AISA by next year,

wills83z28cfi

Hey David, thanks for the offer of help. Where do I start, how do I apply? What kind of experience do I need to have? Thanks again for the help, you can pm me if you would prefer to talk that way.

Will -

http://www.ftb.ca.gov/human_resources/index.html

I'm sure since you have cust. serv. experience, you can be a tax tech, they're always hiring those and key data operators if you can type fast.
Those are both entry level jobs that pay good.
Maybe David can expedite the handling, but usually it's a pretty slow process to get in with the state.

yea david you can take me up feel free any time

if it will help i can bring my laptop/scanner fuel pressure gauge, and any other diagnostic tools gotta get your sweet *** ride on the road

my car was factory hard top but they put that c&c t-tops in at 128miles brand new

wills83z28cfi

Thanks Del, I will look into it asap. I do have a lot of customer service experience, and I can type about 45wpm, can ten-key by touch also.

irocdaddy

Let's see here..........

Will, Yes!, Del is correct. You can qualify for Tax Tech, maybe even Compliance Rep (me) Do you have a degree? if not, no worries. I will look for the EXAMS for what you will qualify/or close we will fib alittle. The process is pretty straight forward: seek out an exam, take exam, rank on exam, wait for a job op flyer to come out, apply to that. They take names off the exam list to hire from. Gotta get you ranked off some exams.
