Was noticing not too much going on in here from Oregon. Where ya at what do ya drive? Any auto cross or solo scca drivers and pics of car? Drag racers? Cruisers........... We have a great cruise here in July....... Some extra late nite Racing now and then (I do not partake in street racing). Lets let them know there are a few Gen 3's in the area!

buzzzzz · 03-09-2008, 09:31 PM

Hey what's up... Down here in S. OR Just got my Iroc last year. My son and I done quite a bit of work on it. The 383 with 4:56 gears is a beast and fun the car looks completly stock until you fire it up. We went to the local cruise last summer 1971 and older crap it should be for rods not 1970 ford 4x4 junker pickups, I was embarassed to be there.

Greg D · 03-14-2008, 07:39 PM

Im here in salem trying to srape in some extra money to build up my FireBird and i am always looking for things to do there needs to be a 3rd gen club around here

lantyj · 03-14-2008, 08:14 PM

I agree but does not seem to be much interest. I understand the scraping up money part. I thought building the car was expensive, now not sure I can put fuel in it. lol

Greg D · 03-14-2008, 08:22 PM

i know that specially since my firebird has a 700r4 trans in it and is missing 3-4th gear yippy i have to stay in down lol now thats a gas guzzler lmao for now
----------

lantyj · 03-14-2008, 09:06 PM

Roseburg / Winston Graffiti night. Man I just Gave away A Good 700r cause I was tired of tripping over it. I took it Out Of my car to switch to 5 speed.

Greg D · 03-14-2008, 09:13 PM

man that blows !!! lol how hard was that switch and what trans did you use for the manual ??

lantyj · 03-14-2008, 09:38 PM

Hardest part so far is locating all the parts (For low Buck stuff) I found everything I need and was planning on doin install this weekend. I lucked out and found trans, pedals, Hydraulic slave and master cylinder $150, all but flywheel and clutch. Friend had light flywheeel so all is in the machine shop getting balanced this week. I am using the world class t-5. I also rebuilt motor with Crane Roller cam flat top pistons etc. I am planning on doing some scca type racing this year. Gutted whole car filled it up with roll bars a built a nice engine hope it all works out

. lol

There are a lot of us in Oregon. Along with several clubs.

Ohh, snap. I hope I don't get banned for posting in here.

And, I'm from Portland. I have done some Auto-x'ing with the Oregon SCCA. A bunch of guys here (I use that in a loose sense) drag race at PIR.

DBLTKE · 03-15-2008, 06:00 AM

Or work at PIR

. There's a good amount of Oregon 3rd genners here. Not many of them post regularly though.

BTW I'm from Aloha, OR.

mcsslover1987 · 03-15-2008, 03:06 PM

I'm in Yreka CA so I'm closer to Medford than I am Redding and points south. We're pretty secluded here.

Greg D · 03-15-2008, 10:54 PM

i'd just like to thank you guys so much for the info i;m trying to fix up and build my car its kind of a roach no but thats for now i want to do the auto cross stuff to i want to build an all around car i'd love to find and join a club close to salem

Dewey316 · 03-15-2008, 10:57 PM

Are you going to auto-x wiht Willamette Sports Cars? I have thought about going down there, to see how they run theirs, and how it compares with the SCCA stuff up here. But, I am working weekends now, so racing is sort of out for the time being.

Greg D · 03-16-2008, 12:28 AM

Never heard of them yet i have a slight learning curve here i've lived out here for bout 3 years and have been trying to find clubs and other stuff like that to join so anyone out there listening shoot me some ideas

Hey guys I live in Winston just south of Roseburg. I am building my Hot Rod to race Auto cross and Hillclimb. I did a little in Alsaka but quit for a while. My buddy built a 89 corvette and we went to Willows California and Raced a track day at Thunder Hill Raceway. What a blast. I got the fever again and decided I had to build 1 more Car. I have had several camaro's in my life so I thought 1 more couldn't hurt. So now here I go again with an 88 Iroc that some young kid ratted out. It had one of those self installed hi perfomance stereo systems that caused a lot of interior damage. So I thought what the hey and took it all out and to the dump. By the way anyone need any power window or door lock motors? I took them out also. I then started fabing in a roll cage. I installed a adjustible pand hard bar ordered lowering springs and new shocks & struts. I rebuilt the 350 with flat top pistons Crane hyd. roller cam some good heads and a Victor Jr intake. On top of that I have a 750 Demon carb pertronics ignition and a msd 6 box. Since I removed all the interior (dash gauges etc) I decided on Autometer 2 5/8 gauges (cause I can't see the little guys lol.) I opted for the t-5 trans because I had one. I have a b&m shifter etc. I am currently in the middle of the auto to manual switch over. It has not been bad yet. But I am going to try and build my own adjustablr tourqe arm. We will see haow that goes

. I have Kumo slicks on all 4 corners mounted on 17" Rally wheels I found laying around. I need to get a few more parts rounded up so I can finish. I will keep you in the loop if you are interested.

rjmcgee · 03-17-2008, 10:19 PM

I'm in Klamath Falls, it would be nice to have a few people south of Portland.

I built a torque arm for my car a few years ago, if you need some help let me know.

lantyj · 03-17-2008, 10:23 PM

Did you have any problems? I think for the $300 plus dollars I see them going for I can build a couple.

tireburningZ · 03-20-2008, 11:04 PM

Im from Battle Ground. WHOOP WHOOP!!!!!!!!!

Alieth · 06-02-2008, 05:10 PM

Yeah, I'm in Oregon too, specifically Springfield.
I have a '85 Trans Am that's all messed up right now, but it will be fixed before summer is out!

I've noticed there aren't many Oregonians here on thirdgen. It makes me sad, because I see at least 3 third gens a day.

It'd be cool to find a good club near the Eugene area. I don't think I can drive up to Portland often enough with gas at $4.20\gal.

lantyj · 09-23-2008, 12:30 AM

Hav'nt posted here for a while how did the summer go for you guys? I did not finish my hot rod this year maybe next year. I am going racing none the less. The fuel prices and a new ruling on child support put me in the rears on race car project LOL. Oh well thread died out so I thought I would try and spark it up again. any takers?

DCOWBOYS1975 · 09-23-2008, 10:53 AM

I'm down to spark it ALWAYS!!! From Battle Ground.
