Cool I am into cruising too how ever the racing bug bit me hard so I started out thinking a upgrade here and there and know a race car in the making

hell yeah, your car looks good.

Heya All Beaverton here with an 86 Berlinetta 2.8. Hit me back love to do a run out to Tillamook or something this summer if any one is interested.

Hey glad to here from ya! Roseburg here, I primarily use my car for racing but kept it street legal for just such an occasion

What's up fellow Oregonians? I live in Gresham. My '85 Trans Am is waiting for a new battery, power steering pump, and a rebuilt carb so it can awaken from being in storage for over 2 years.

Some of you cascade crew guys may remember my '72 Chevy short bed pickup from the dyno day at McGee's a few years back. It was silver with black hockey stick stripes and a cowl hood.

anyone in the Bend/Redmond area?

<--- Bend

whats up my Oregonians! i saw your car at river forks for the show for graffiti!

anyway im phil im from Roseburg i got a 89 rs

I'm in Hood River, OR. Posted here some time ago. I don't drive a Third Gen, but I have a couple Troopers with a 60-Degree V6s. One is a stock 2.8L, the other is an upgraded 3.4L.

I took my 3.4 at the end of the winter and still haven't gotten it back together. Should be pretty awesome when it's back though. I've been working on it again, with a little change in direction. I've installed a Crane 260 cam and 1.6 ratio rockers. Now I'm in the process of undoing my work and reinstalling the original (but bored out) TBI system. Won't be quite as novel as having multiport in an old Isuzu Trooper, but I should strangle pretty much the same amount of power out of it.

our Oregonian thread has died! where y'all at? lol

hillsboro, Oregon (aka hillsburrito) here. mine is a 83 berlinetta not running just yet but
it will someday i think you have not seen very many third gens is because of the climate summer is really the only good time go for a cruise although i have seen a few daily drivers out in this area

north albany? I used to live in Albany but now am in corvallis. My car is still in albany though.

Eugene Oregon, but most of my driving is in Springfield. not much of a group person as most don't like to break the law. car is moderate/heavily modded depending what your view is.

another one from Salem 91 RS 305 5spd TTOP every day driver

im in battleground washington
305 bored 30 700r4 with shift kit pretty fast for a 17 year old to own lol. i go down to lower river road all the time to race but am currently tearing it down at the moment. for a new paint job

Again, I don't have a Third Gen, but a distant Japanese cousin with a GM engine.

I've been thinking about new paint too. I'm putting louvers in the hood so that will need re-painted anyway. Doing louvers to lower under-hood temps since I have my filter housing hacked down to an open-element now.

I have everything back together with TBI, been hitting up TGO for TBI tuning tips lately. Have it running pretty well now, driving it as my daily so I can find and address the remaining bugs.

In other news, I've upgraded my other car from a 1981 Isuzu I-Mark LS Diesel to a 1999 BMW 328i.

Some pics!:

My engine fresh and clean:


My engine now. :/


RunCool Louvers to be tig'd into the hood:


Chipped ECU, finally back in the stock location:

Hey, I was wondering if there were any camaro meets over here! I live in Redmond OR, I drive a red 1988 Camaro Sport Coupe. Just dropped my exhaust not to long ago! Any meets before winter hits?

Totally forgot how to post on here haha not on much! I live in Redmond Oregon, 18 Driving a red Camaro Sport Coupe! I am setting it up for drifting(its something different)! If there are any meets, and or cruises before winter starts hit me up I'd love to come out and join! Also TougeNW is having an event this September 17th, through the 19th and i will be attending(I'm the only muscle car out there by the way but its full of guys who love cars so it's a great atmosphere and tons of fun). It's 5 dollars for a pit pass which helps pay for supply's and such cause were a fairly new organization that's growing! My name is Tolga Wynne so if you have any questions let me know, and if you plan on going send me an email and ill give you more details!! My email is tolgavenom@yahoo.com

Tigard, mostly stock 87 IROC-Z 305tpi auto

Lake Oswego, mostly stock 89 Firebird 2.8 5spd daily driver

Lets see some pics people!!!!!!!!

im in the vancouver wa area not to far from redmond i think. is the tougenw a drift event???? also if your ever up around battleground give me a hollar i know one other person with a camaro who cant drift to save his life and a buddy with a trans am ls1 bored .030 that can drift pretty well which is the only person i know around that can keep up drifting. and i always look for new driftin buddys to learn and teach more from

Heres some old pics,

^I love a nice clean original f-body. Lookin' good man! I'm sure I've seen that car around Tigard before. Have you been to the Sonic in King City yet? My sis works there and she said they get some really nice cars in there on the weekends.

thanks, the car isnt driven much, only in the neighbor hood occasionaly and once or twice to the gas station across from sonic (arco).

I havent been to sonic in the camaro yet, iv only rode down there on my bike (iv probaly seen her if she works there at the later time as i always cruised down there from about 8-12pm on the bike.

Your bright red T/A looks good man!

Portland

Thank you. We just need to find a white third gen w/ t-tops and we could have a 4th of July parade.

haha very true! actually i know of an white 86 iroc right down the street from me, i posted info in the for sale section for the person. he wants 3grand for it, not running though and has 155k miles but dam, this thing body wise is MINT (it needs paint though badily)

oh ya, it has t-tops to!

Very nice! I've seen some people asking a lot of money for third gens lately. Tho I paid $1500 for mine in '99, running and driving, so $3k for a non running car seems like a lot to me. lol

I'm gonna try and cruise out to Sonic and see my sister a few times over the next couple months before it starts raining too much. I'll post on here when that might be and maybe we can get a few people to roll out.

I bought my 92 RS a little over a month ago for 1500 off a car lot although not a fancy car. I had been looking for awhile 2 or 3 months, my camaro had been on the lot 2 months before I bought. I guess it is the economy but a lot of the other cars I had looked at are still for sale after this long I am suprised. I am thinking about getting another third gen for the track so I hope the prices don't go up! I suppose it could be that I always look for the cheap deal and a lot of the cars I look at are more of a rolling pile of beat to death parts, but it is still sad to see them after they end up in a wrecking yard (unless they have the good parts)

85TA, ya man that'll be cool, drop by sometime in the bird if you ever wanna check out the car in person. If we were to go on an little cruise with atleast 3 cars, im sticking in the middle of the cars (cops cant see bad plates and whatnot haha)

and welcome towtruckman! sounds like an great car you got!

also i saw early in the thread that were not allowed to mention any specific car groups, why?

History is why. If I ever meet you in person I'll be happy to explain more.

Hey, sorry for the wait been havin computer issues! Yeah were hosting a drift event up at hoodo it'd be awesome to get some camaro and firebirds up there if your interested ill give you my cell haha! And hell yeah ill definitely let you know next time im up there, im not to bad at drifting for a beginner. but its hard to drift with an auto im lookin for a 5 speed manual =)

Newbie here in Eugene. Sportin a 91 rs. A ride I have had for some time now.

I got it for $400 6 years ago. Let my Son drive it for about a year and a half. His first car. He had issues with it and gave up on it.

Saw some serious maintenance woes. I have it back now. I gotta say This Is a nice ride.
I loved driving it and I will again. Plans' ? Hmm well ?? I have been eyeballing the hybrid postings.
I wont entertain the idea of dropping a 8 in her. I like my 6. Plus I am enjoying the build.
Anyone in the area ?
Fixes and Mods
replaced Idle control motor (ICM)
TPS
re-installed 02 sensor
re-set timing back to factory 10*
re-installed air intake duct (was missing )
patched together a "severely" botched exhaust (cat was cleared out and then looks like the rest must have high centered or struck something?
fixed short in the steering column
found a nice aftermarket rear sway bar. planning on installing soon.
took out sagging headliner

Issues and problems

Someone drilled out the idle adjustment cap and has been messing with the factory setting. (looks like they bent the strike plate for it also)

factory tachometer is faulty ( it works it just reads 6200 @ low dle of 700 (from hand
held )

surging idle seems much better now that timing has been adjusted.

engine stalls under load. It ran but still stalled and or overheated at stop signs until I ajusted the timing. Now It wont drive unless in re-learn mode. in re learn mode it runs like a beast. good throttle response ,nice ildle, clean acceleration/deceleration. But as soon as 20 min are up she stalls and wont run under load until I unhook the battery wait for a few min then hook up and go.

I have read most of the boards here regarding tuneups and repairs. I am used to old time tuning. Not this electronic witchcraft. So I get a lil lost at times.

Anyone have an idea where to start?

87 trans am here.. mods are in my sig.. live in slverton and work in wilsonville.

I'm currently saving for an lsx/t56 swap..

I'm in troutdale. I drive a 1991 Z28 and I really enjoy it

I'm from Medford, OR. Have a 88 gta borg warner automatic tpi. Best suspension on a car I've ever drove. It's my dd but I have other drag cars.

im in an auto are they allowing auto's to drift in the event??? send me message and i'll give you my cell.

Umm not really they dont like to but you might be able to do the open drifts. I dont have my camaro anymore though but after ait i plan on buying another 3rd gen just for drift. the new events start after march i believe! Here's the forums for event listing's cost and schedule, tougenw.com is the forums and tougenw.org is just for events I believe!

Wow! A year without posts?!
I'm 16 and live in Grants Pass! Finally a forum with people in my area
I got an 89 2.8 5spd ttop firebird for free back n september. Funny thing is, it turned out to be my dream 3rd gen I fell in love with an original 2.8l 89 red/silver Formula with gray int., ttops, and an auto that my dad repainted. The only differnce on my car is that it isn't a formula and has a 5spd. But my car is a total basket case
