Purple 92 SS

I dont know about you guys, but it amazes me that there appear to be very few of us. It also amazes me that there is not a SC thirdgen club yet.

So if your from SC, post up fellas.. maybe we can get a cruise in together or soemthing?

I'm in Greenville, SC, and I'd be more than willing to attend a cruise-in. I know of about 3 or 4 3rd gen guys in G'ville that would probably be up for a cruise-in, too (Xceleratemaro for one, he's a member of the boards, I'm sure he'll post soon enough).

I'm in Spartanburg, and my camaro should be finished for the moment around the end of february if everything goes as planned. Sounds great.

MrDude_1

theres the south carolina F and Y body club.... its addy is www.SCFYB.com

im in the lowcountry chapter. we meet on the first and third saturday of every month.

Xceleratemaro

yep im there we used to have um at sonic one a mounth even bruse from halks would come good times.....

Topless91RS

not really just thirdgens but we have a cruise in once a month here in Rock Hill at a place called Tubby's! Would definitely love to see fellow thirdgenners show up!!

Purple 92 SS

yea, I know of SCFYB, and unfortunately, meaning no disrespect, but it seems that they cater to the 4th gens and Vettes more....
And I know that the lowcountry and upstate tend to be more active in the SCFYB... columbia tends to be dead, and when someone trys to organize something very few turn out.. so it really sucks.


I mean geeze, I know of 4 guys here locally that have 3rd gens, maybe even more, that would love to hang out and do the third gen thing, but no one does.

I am actually surprised that there are this many of us thirdgens here.. ive met some of yall and what not and I think it'd be real cool if we had a cruise in or something.

I dont know.. Im in the Lexington Area, and while im always working on my 3rd gen, its not always driveable great distances you know? so it'd have to pretty much be a local thing for me.

I would definitely come to a cruise in. I'm in Greer right now but will be headed back to Clemson next week for school.

ThommyDee's86Z

Once I get mine running I would love to do a drive in.
I live between Greenville and Spartanburg in Moore.
If I could just get the stupid thing running...I have been working on it for 18 months

Purple 92 SS

it seems that we have many of us out here.. has anyone ever tried to get a SC thirdgen site? i know alot of the other states have their own thirdgens sites.. that would be pretty cool i think.


sorry to hear that she doesnt run.. what have you checked / not checked to get her running?
-steve

Chevmdnss

why don't you just try to bring more to the SCFYB third gen section??

It is a good site/club and a lot of those guys and gals have 3rd gens also or have had them....

BTW any of you do your own chip tuning?

Purple 92 SS

well ive thought about that, but the SCFYB seems a bit cliqueish, especially when your in the columbia section..

either your in or you dont exist / Qualify.

-steve

Have you tried www.sethirdgen.org yet?

Purple 92 SS

yea, been there too... just dont know. it seems that there are local clubs for vettes and mustangs, but not camaros...
-steve

Topless91RS

Purple 92 SS

Hey chris! yea, I have.. hell i think im still part of that board.. just havent been back in a long while.. how iseverything going ?

I still want your car too dude.
-steve

Topless91RS

things are good man, can't complain. Spending time on the 69 camaro lately and have been neglecting the 91 but not for too much longer!! The boards changed not too long ago so you may need to go back to gmmoc.org and re-sign up, we switched servers and not all of the database moved over ok! How's things going with you? Talk to ya later!

Purple 92 SS

cool.. ill try to do that today man.

Things with me are fine.. if you neglect that ol 91 too much i may have to come see if youll give her to me.

Ive been working on the ol purple one lately.. Put a 00 ss rear in her, 410 Motive gears, Auburn Posi, Spohn Panhard Rod, Spohn Lower Controll Arms, Spohn, Energy Suspension Bushings, Energy Suspension Sway Bar End Links, Spohn Tie Rod End Links, TRW DragLink, TRW Tie Rod Ends (heavy Duty of course), TRW Idler Arm, KYB Gas Adjust Rear Shocks, and KYB GR2 front Struts. Also went ahead and bought 2" adapters for the Front wheels from Skulte, and put my 01 Z28's rims and tires on her.. Believe it or not she doesnt look bad with the stockers on it. Then I put my 18" eagles on my Z28.. so its kinda been playing swapperoo with the shoes. Mostly, ive been concentrating on the suspension of the car... and brakes.

Things yet to get :

Spohn Torsion Bar - Waiting for the T56 Swap from my T5 before I Buy that though.

Spohn SFC's Weld in of course.
Spohn Tubular A Arms.

and an Aluminum Driveshaft.. used or new dont matter.



As far as everythign else is concerned, all is good I cant complain about married life one bit. havent done too much to the Z28 yet either, but its in the works.. dedicating to trying to get the purple car finished up ya know?

Benm109

What exactly is the problem with your 305 TBI?

I've done a lot of work to my 305 TBI motor, and I can probably help one way or another. Just need a little more info.
