Hows it goin? I hardly see 3rd gen t/a's or camaros around here...I guess they're not as popular in this area but I could be wrong . Anyway here's some pics of my car taken by the previous owner in Texas and for now she still has the texas plates; I've been lagging on getting her registered and titled but I'll eventually get to it L8R!

Greetings & welcome! Nice GTA!

Thanx man! I've actually been living here for about 13 years and still haven't seen the whole city....I kid u not lol! Yeah the good thing about 3rd gens not bieng common around here is that they turn heads and get alot of attention from people. I bet you guys get compliments on your t/a's huh? Mine needs very minor body work yet I still get compliments on it lol. Long live t/a's L8R!

hey guys i live in the harrison golflinks area i was wondering about the thirdgenners as well around here!

The_Phoenix

iTrader: (3)

Coming out of your hiding spots huh? j/p! Good to see more 3rd gens in Tucson! Its crazy how I've never seen your guys' cars around .

L8R!

CraZ-28

Ok, you guys are on crack. There are a LOT of 3rd gens here in Tucson. It might be the area that you live in but I notice them all the time. I don't get mine out as much as i'd like to but now that the monsoons are over with i'll be out more in it. I know of quite a few here on the east side alone and see them on a daily basis.

I'm in the Golflinks and Houghton area also, jfyi....

The_Phoenix

iTrader: (3)

I stay by the downtown area near 22nd! I guess all those third gens are mostly on the eastide of town b/c I hardly see them around here. Damn, your ride must be hooked up pretty good craz-28...I'd like to see a pic of it. :Cool:

L8R!

sounds like we need a third gen get together goin on. although im waiting for a heater hose from oriely chevrolet...ugh damn hoses.

Synapsis

Rita Ranch here. And I know for a fact there's at least 4 other thirdgens in my area. I'm getting ready to sell mine, though.

Cra-Z28: You won't drive it in the rain, but you leave it out in the snow? *runs*

The_Phoenix

iTrader: (3)

A Third gen get together doesn't sound like a bad idea! .

iTrader: (1)

im all for meeting up sometime, i wanna see some nice thirdgens since most i see here are....trashy.

ps. my car isnt a t/a...its a normal bird with some help.

CraZ-28

Damn man! 1 flippen time and you still won't let me live it down. You make me a sad panda. What happened in actuallity was that I wanted to know what my car would look like with 5 inches of paint on it. I didn't like it so the experiment was a success.

Seriously though, its all good! We've all made a mistake or 2, mine just happened to be with rain and 10 degree weather.

Here's the beast from a few years ago. It's fun but it could be better...

The_Phoenix

iTrader: (3)

Damn that beast looks mean! you should of painted it another color instead of green

mrt89rs

Golflinks and Harrison, those are my old stopping grounds there. I lived in that are for 15 years. Sure do miss that place.

Theres a lot of thirdgens in Tucson. But i don't know that many of them any more. Alot of you guys have been on these boards for a lil while but I have yet to met any of you. I don't know what has happen to everybody in the last three years but i still poke my head out every now and then. Still got my RS. But I haven't done anything new to it in some time. Any how post some pics of your cars if you do have some sort of gathering.

iTrader: (3)

I'm over near Speedway and Silverbell. I work at the Checker at that location. Drop by, buy parts. Although we never seem to have any when I need them.

All for a gathering.

aperfectcircle

so i think everyone should speak up and give a round-about idea of when there free on a night, then perhaps we can all meet up and bring some life to this boring town!

TheScaryOne

iTrader: (3)

I'm free any night after 8:30. That's when we close at work. Other than that, my work days rotate. We could meet at In-n-Out. It would rock.

aperfectcircle

i would say in n out would be a good idea but its just always so damn packed all the time. unless we parked around the home depot parking lot over there its pretty open there all the time..

TheScaryOne

iTrader: (3)

There's parking. Just a few rows away. If we met at night it wouldn't be a big deal. But I bet that if we meet there, any of us with similar color cars are gonna get pulled over for the "no cruising" laws on Speedway, Broadway, and 6th Ave.

aperfectcircle

haha yeah thats such bs.. i'v actully driven up speedway numerous times both ways and was never pulled over... knock on wood..yeah but we'll have to see how available the others are.. im down for just about anytime so.

mrt89rs

I have never hear of that law When did that take affect?

The_Phoenix

iTrader: (3)

aperfectcircle

yeah i'v never seen it in stone anywhere but.. i'v heard it from a few friends never had any problems with that law though.

TheScaryOne

iTrader: (3)

I was told it buy someone who attended UA before I was born, and I guess it was started while he was a senior. So at least twenty years. That, and with all of the Fri/Sat stuff going on the cops would love to crack down on some muscle car guys.

Does anyone know a GOOD paint shop? As in, I'm looking for some good work, not a "get it done" job.

CraZ-28

I've never heard of a "No Cruising" law for anything except 6th. As for speedway, the only thing that I know of is the No Parking unless you have written permission from the business owner. We used to have that but it became too much of a hassel and thats one of the reasons I know a lot of people stopped cruising. Oh well, at least it was fun back in the day. Hell, I remember when cops would roll make a U-turn to pull into parking lots just to look at some of the rides......

As for a gathering, I'm always up for it but I must warn you, its going to take a lot of time and planning. We've been able to do a few but it was like pulling teeth to actually get it done. If your going to start it, someone should start a post about it, get who's interested, PM phone numbers, and get a list started.

well im nowhere near tucson, im out in queen creek but i think its easier to find rx7's around tucson more than anyhintg, a buddy of mine dragged me to the last turn style drift event and i saw tons of rx7's and 240 sx's running around town and only like 1 3rd gen but i wasnt there for long, and Cra-Z28 is right, they're easy to talk about but the planning and getting people to come through is the difficult part

The_Phoenix

iTrader: (3)

Ill take care of posting up the thread to get ppl to sign up for the gathering. Hopefully there will be enough thumbs up to actually start planning this thing. As for me, count me in on the meet up. The post is called "Tucson 3rd Gen Gathering: sign up here" if you wanna sign up.

Thanks L8R!

I'm out here in Rita Ranch as well....

jstrdn90rs

Hello Third Gens..I live near Santa Rita high school and drive up and down pantano to Speedway and back again Mon-Friday some may have seen me in my sky blue t-top 90RS.I have been a Chevy nut since the Super Shops days hanging out there in the mid-late 90's.Even got a parking ticket that I fought in court and won.(owner or Hogie house was an azz)I had a 72 SS chevelle at the time.Many of the guys there might still converse,this was before the drag strip opened as we did a lot of illegal racing in the Rita ranch area or Old Vail road area.Once the track opened everybody kinda split ways and Super Shops closed.They did move over across the street to the Deli ,but rarely hung out there.I did a few times and had many good times with those guys.
Some pasted on and some moved out of town,and some are still here..but dont own a car anymore.Once the track opened thats all we did on the weekends for a few years..super chevy..NHRA warm-ups..etc.Really enjoyed it,wish it was still happening.If you see me riding in your third gen give me a honk or wave and I will do the same?..

'Shifter

iTrader: (2)

I'm in a white 87 Z28 with 91-92 blisters and wing, or in a torch-red 89 Vette...:wave:

jstrdn90rs

Okay..I dont see many white Z's like yours driving around?..I do remember cruising pantano next to a white one like yours going through broadway on the way to 22nd a women was driving and a younger gal was in the passenger seat.Possibly yours?..It had to be about a year ago.I havent seen a white one in years around here...my super shop buddie's wife had one but I think it was a 91.She has since passed on and sold it..havent seen one since?.If I had a chance to buy another third gen it would be white t-top 25th anniversary model with the big wing..gives me a heart attack when I see one.That is one nice ride!!!..

'Shifter

iTrader: (2)

Can't be mine then, my wife can't drive teh manual trans....I've got teh SLP ZR-1 wheels, hiding C5 Vette brakes-
does that help?

jstrdn90rs

Yeah I guess that will set you apart from the others?..I will keep my eyes out for your ride glad to hear from you.If theres anything I can help you with.. feel free to ask.

'Shifter

iTrader: (2)

Likewise! I work at Merle's Auto Supply (been selling parts for 26 years now), and can get a decent
discount for any 3rd Genners - just ask for me, Marc with a "C" ! (546-4000)

jstrdn90rs

Hey Marc ...I was just in there the other day getting some motor mounts ?.and asked about hatch struts? I mentioned I had t-tops and its a pain with a pole in the way?.maybe remember me?.Next time I am in there I will ask for you.You guys have always done me good there..I really appreciate the help?..I never seen your camaro in the parking lot though?

'Shifter

iTrader: (2)

I'm in teh phone room, so I'm seldom out front....my Z28 and my Vette both hide under a car cover when I'm
at work-sometimes, if it's raining, I drive teh BBB (Big, Brown, Beast-my 4-door one-ton truck)

jstrdn90rs

Okay..after the new year starts, I plan on pumping some more money and time into my camaro.I am down to struts/shocks misc. items .Then a iroc hood with louvers awaits and then it times for body and paint.I will keep you in mind when I call looking for parts.I work for the city of tucson over at the east side,I maintain the TPD cars and we have an account with Merles as well.You might have talked to Cleo or Fred over in stores?.I worked up the street for Pep Boys for 11 years as a Mechanic and moved on to the city in 2000.My name is Bruce so if you get a call from me you know who it is?..If you dont hear from me soon, I wish you a Happy Holidays.

'Shifter

iTrader: (2)

All right Bruce! You guys already get a smokin' discount, so I don't have much to offer you as far as pricing goes,
but it would be good to help a fellow 3rd Genner!

Have a Merry Christmas yourself bro!

TechSmurf

Also Rita Ranch... but no thirds in Tucson. If anyone has a wrenching project they need an extra hand with, though, I might be available
