that sucks. There is always someone that is working on a huge project and the show/meet is just at the wrong time for them.

Ok, it's official, Iroc isn't going to make it. I'm back to my overheating issues, so obviously it wasn't an engine problem before. I replaced the radiator (twice since the first one was crushed in the box, 45 mins later I was back with a new one) and the problem only slightly improved. Still goes past 200 with a 160 thermostat. When I get back in town I'm putting the stock fans back on. These aftermarket LS1 fans don't impress me at all. I can instantly cool the car to 170 degrees by spraying water on the radiator. Have fun at the gathering guys..

those of you interested in msd wires and new washer and coolant bottles bring some money the wires are used but still in great shape. The bottles are the wrong ones for my car they are for the older third gens.

Is this a BBQ event where we bring some chow or are we eating lunch at a place near the battleship?

Pretty day.. should be some good pics coming out of Mobile this evening. I almost managed to show up by surprise, but I continue to encounter various problems with the Iroc and decided it would be prudent to keep it near home for now. Hope you all had a great time.

Re: Sept 11, Noon, TGO Meet Battleship Mobile, AL (Gulf Coast)
great meet , met lots of good/new people . always a pleasure to meet other fellow 3rd genners . several projects in work (hell mine will never be done) and several (like mine) that looked done . swapped stories and ideas , great social gathering . thanks to all for showing up . our club had many no shows , but all the hard cores as usual showed up . hope all enjoyed as much as i did . (hell at my age i enjoy every good time) i think rob from tally traveled the most . to all who did not attend you missed out . cheers & thanks all .
P.S. kurt i am still drooling over your B4C wich has to be the cleanest/original in the country . keep it that way . take care when sent back to the "dirty/sweaty armpit" of the world .

I was hoping to see another GTA so I can compare and make sure I havent modified mine too much. I have only seen 1 other GTA and that was a disaster.

While I have everyone from the area checking this thread.. there is an 'end of summer' car show here in PC in about two weeks. They will have a dyno, $40 to get on it, in case anyone is interested. Hoping I will be there for that, but depends on how my car is behaving. So far she is being a very naughty gal.

We definitly had a wide range of third gens. At least one of each trim level but only later models.
