Are you looking for a stock one or an already built one? I've got a spare 10 bolt that you can have, I have no use for it. It's a '91 10 bolt with a 2.73 2 series carrier but no axles. I'm serious, if you want it you can have it, it's just sitting in the garage collecting dust.


I had intentions of going to the meet, but then reality set in and I realized my Camaro won't be done it time too, LOL. With no exhaust system (awaiting Hooker headers and cat-back), no interior (new carpet), and shocks and struts all waiting to go in (Bilsteins ), there's just no way I could make it this time.

Well I appreciate your generous offer bro, but I need something that is more functional lol... I am willing to pay, mine is leaking like a ****, and makes alot of noise...
So I guess I would need axles too... I really appreciate it though!

Hey Steve, I dunno about showing up in a 3rd gen, it may be a 26' Penske truck, but i'd like to try and come by. Would you mind posting some directions? What street is it on?

Sassy8722

I will be there.

On the rear end: Brocks usually has a few laying around. They're an F-Body specific jy in South Congaree (near the cola airport) 803-955-3181. Knew about the slave cylinder from your earlier post, just razzing you.

Andrew thanks for posting up directions!! I dont mind a 26' truck at all!! My buddy has a 91 rear he's going to be pulling out soon, and putting in a 4th gen rear in, ill ask him if he wants to part with it. NAF is right, brocks usually has tons of them laying around. I hope your able to get her running and driveable but if not perhaps we can have another meeting like this in the near future that you can make?!?!? I think it will all depend on how this first one goes as to weather or not I want to try to hold / organize another one. I think it would be sooo cool if we could organize stuff up to the point of it being regular.

good to hear that we're all getting ready to go to this.

here's my roll call so far :

My Purple Car
My Convertible
My buddy Andrew with his 91 Black RS
Garrett - 88 Pontiac GTA burgandy


ive got a couple more coming, but they may not be in their cars, as one blew up the rear in his, and another just got back from costa rica and hasnt had time to get his car running again, dead battery and what not. Im trying to work on that aspect though for him..

plus yall, so we should have a good showing.. I know some of the posts ive put on other forums have folks planning to come from NC and myrtle beach, and wherever else, if Nelapse can get his running too he'll be up from savanahh as well.

Im really looking forward to this!!

Sassy8722

Unfortunately it looks like I won't be able to make it this Sunday. My shift has been "volunteered" for production this weekend. If anything changes I'll post but I doubt it. Hopefully this won't be the last gathering like this as I'd really like to attend.

Purple 92 SS

that sucks you cant make it. However if you can at the last minute your still welcome. as for being the last one, we'll see how this first one goes, and if its well, and everyone agrees, we'll do it again. Im sure hoping that it goes well, and that no one is disappointed.

I'm planning on being there with Steve, I'm from his club. I don't have my own 3rd gen yet, but I want one and will probably be looking into getting one for a project car in the future.

Purple 92 SS

welcome to the site larry.. and yea, you'll be there driving my droptop!
-steve

LRB2GZ

I'm cool with that.

Purple 92 SS

2 days to go!!!!! i think ill clean the purple heap tonight.
-steve

Purple 92 SS

one day left!!! Hopefully the weather will hold out for us tomorrow and od whatever its gonna do today.

I'll see you all there!!
-steve

Sassy8722

I was going to clean mine up today but unexpectedly I have to go to work, they better not ask me to work tomorrow before this, I will be pissed!

Hey!! Roger here... It was great meeting everyone today at the flying saucer! Ya'll seem to be an awsome group of people. i'd more than love to do it again sometime! Thanx for the invite Steve!

Sassy8722

I had fun too. I wish I could have remembered all the names to faces lol but it was great.

Oh and I'm looking foward to seeing pictures ya'll took, I took some but they aren't that great, I can post 'em anyway if you want.

Sounds like it went well. Hope another one will happen soon, with enough notice I can schedule vacation time to protect myself from future "volunteering" and get down there and meet you folks.

Purple 92 SS

I agree, it was a good little meeting.. Had a blast.. good people, nice cars, and good food. (the beer wasnt bad either!) I hope everyone had fun! I think if we have enough interest we can do this again, in a little while, maybe end of august or something? Would yall be down for another little meet/get together? I hope everyone had as much fun as I did and I hope no one felt left out or didnt have a good time.. I personally loved seeing all the different cars.. shows that there are some of us out there that love the thirdgens and are willing to drive them wherever we can whenever we can!!

Ive uploaded some of the photos of the meet to my photobucket account. My buddy Mike has more photos, but i havent gotten them from him yet. I'll post them up there when I get them.

Ill also post up a link to my photo bucket acct as soon as I get them uploaded. Thanks to everyone who came!

Sassy8722

I know I would definitely be interested in another one of these, it was great!

nelapse

iTrader: (17)

how many people showed up?

Purple 92 SS

we had a total of 11 third gens there. It was a good showing.

here's my link to my photobucket acct directory. hopefully it will work for everyone.. let me knwo if it doesnt!
-steve

iTrader: (17)

Yeah well maybe I will be there next time... How long did it last?

Purple 92 SS

lets see.. I think we got there around 1, 115, and left probalby well after or around 3-330 ish, and then some of us, (myself, my buddy in my droptop, Johny with his 4th gen, and Justin in his Firebird) went and took some photos of the cars downtown at various murals on buildings. Im going to post them up in my photobucket acct as soon as i get some time.. Im having to build servers and upgrade some of them today, so its been kinda busy for me

thats a long friggan drive for me to hangout for only 2 hours... We need an all day thing... like a thirdgen road trip to 6 flags or something... make it a 2-3 day deal... kinda like the power tour except we dont race, we get on roller coasters lol

Purple 92 SS

true it is a long drive for you.. which is why i was surprised when you said you may come.. its all good though.. It was the first sort of get together, and it seemed to go well. It was supposed to be extremely unformal, with no structure / rules / things or anything. Basically to see if folks would be interested in hanging out with folks who had third gens, and who liked to talk about them.

91GTAWS6

Another meet sounds great! Can't wait to see how the pics turned out.

Not sure I could make a late August meet, that's when I start getting the car ready for the fall Auto Fair at LMS. Anyone planning to go?

Crayzboost

I know im new here, but I think you guys should make this meet a little more scheduled, something like every two weeks two Sundays of the month, that way everyone would know exactly when it's gonna be. Then if you guys want to do something really special you can post it up on here for a little more organization. It’s just my thought. I was part of a vw meet years ago and that’s how we did it. And by word of mouth and consistency we always had a good fun turnout. And every now and then we mad a trip to a park for a cookout or something.



oh and i will be attending the next one for sure...me and the Bird

Purple 92 SS

if i go to fall autofair it'll be most likely as a spectator. Ive been before and shown with GMMG.. it was a blast.

Here's a link to the photos I took at the saucer :
Thirdgen Meet at The Saucer - Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

Here's a link to the photos my buddy took
3rd Gen Meet


As for sheduled or what not, its an Idea. this was our first shot at it, I really didnt know how it would go over, and *IF* anyone would want to do it. I think it went over pretty well, and I think we may have enough interest in actually doing it again.. what do you all think?

-steve

Crayzboost

I saw the Pics, and wow it looks like everyone had fun there, i cant wait till the next one so i can go..

Purple 92 SS

yea, we all did have a blast. where you live crayzboost? is it local to columbia?

-steve

Crayzboost

i live in greenville about an hour and a half or so away, not too bad.. maybe if everyone can post where abouts they live we can find a more central location to everyone.

Purple 92 SS

yea, thats not terrible. we had folks there from sumter and myrtle this time, which was cool. I think that while columbia is close to the middle of the state, its hard for folks in far places like myrtle to make it everytime. I had origionally only intended on columbia area folks wanting to come, but it was open to anyone... and Im glad that the folks from sumter and myrtle did come as i think we really had a good time. I also think that it would be a shame to just stop at one get together, as these cars are becoming classics now, and lots of folks still have a sweet spot in their hearts for them, so we should show them off!

-steve

Sassy8722

I would definitely be interested in another one.

I'm 2 hours away up here in NC. Would Rock Hill be a more convenient location for some?

Crayzboost

thats a hair closer to me but still like 1.5 hours

I don't mind driving. Enjoyed meeting the guys (and girls). My only request next time is that the beer and the cars not be separated, although it was a hot one Sunday (and cool inside).

Mike

Sassy8722

LOL I just realized that I replied with the same thing so many times. I guess every time I came back to read a new reply i said the same thing lol. Sorry.

Purple 92 SS

hehe.. no problem wendy.. glad you had a ball. thats what it was ment for.

Mike : I agree, the beer should have been closer to the cars, when I was there for the MR2 meet, we sat on the deck cause it wasnt that hot.. but unfortunately this weekend it was SOOO bloody hot we all went inside Depending on where / if / when we do this again, will dictate if we can have the beer and the cars together!

I do agree though, it was great meeting everyone. So much so, that my buddy mike is going to look at an 87 Iroc today!

Sounds like it was a good time and worth the effort. i arrived a day late, sorry i couldn't make my wife pack faster. Wound up whacking my 91 front end when backing down the ramp to take the car off the trailer(OUCH!). But at least I'm here and enjoying Columbia. Hope you do it again soon. I'll be there.

Purple 92 SS

hey bob.. sorry to hear about being a day late and about the whacking of the front end. Hope not too much if any damage. How you like columbia so far?

Im thinking ill start another post up about another possible meet in columbia. My buddy just got an 87 iroc so he's eager to join in the fun!

Make a note of it here when you do. I'll be looking for it as I'm sure so will others. thanks for the hard work!

Purple 92 SS

well just made the topic in this sub-forum.

dont know if Ill have the purple car though. I think i either grenaded my rear end or blew out u joints yesterday

68 RS/SS Ragtop

iTrader: (2)

Ouch, sorry to hear that, if i had a garage Id offer it. right now still waiting on the house and staying in a hotel by columbiana mall. As a buddy of mine always says "you can go as fast as your wallet will allow" and if you beef up something you create a weak link somewhere else. hopefully it is the easier solution.

Purple 92 SS

thanks for the offer.. yea, If I'd of known you'd of been that close to us yesterday id of invited you to Wild Wing over off behind SAMS Club. we were there with our Cars for dinner yesterday.

Im hoping its just the UJoints.. but no telling.. dont know wehn Ill be able to work on her either.. gotta visit realatives. Grandad has cancer and isnt doing well.
