2nd Annual Rim of the World Cruise

The date has been set: July 25th

More info at: http://www.fbodyaddict.com/rotw/rotw.htm

Looks like its going to be even bigger this year! This is not an event to be missed! Hopefully it wont be so hot this year! I may be setting up a BBQ(Mmmm tri-tip!) at my cabin the night before for those of you who dont want to drive all the way out there and do a 2+ hour cruise the same day can stay up there for the night(plenty of beds) and then we'll do a CHP check as we come down the Mtn to meet you all in the morning...

My T/A is offically in the tranny shop for the TC, unfortunately I ordered the wrong one(I ordered a lock up one for 82-84 700R4 27 spline) Apparently my old tranny guy put a 84-newer in it(he just said it had the '92 case on it) and I think I need the 30 spline so that should be here in about days and my car will finllay be running after 8 months !
And hopefully Alex will be bringing out his RS with all new suspension-front and rear, LCAs, SFCs, new hood, etc... I dont know how i would keep up with him

So whos going?

JulieGTA · 06-12-2004, 05:17 AM

July 25, that's a Sunday right? Cool.

8T8IROC · 06-12-2004, 01:17 PM

I know I would like to attend driving my IROC, but I will have to see how she behaves with heat once the Be Cool is installed, otherwise, I be driving the 'other' Camaro

I see you finally change the wheels on your car. It makes the TA look so much better than before. New personality for the Trans Am. How long have they been on the car?

Try logging out, clearing your sc3g.org cookie, and then logging back in.

Mr.84TransAmer · 06-13-2004, 08:53 PM

I'd like to go.

Do I really have to sign up for it though?

Thanks! Evantually Ill be putting on some chrome Z06 wheels, but thats after new motor and suspension upgrades...

They have been on the car for the last 8 months, BUT the car has been parked infront of my house for those 8 months with a broke tranny! Once I put those rims on I got to drive it a whole 3 days before the TC died

Nope just show up! They just want an idea of how many cars and how much space we'll need at the food place...

VincentZ28 · 06-16-2004, 01:18 AM

Don has a 90 700r4 transmission from his 90 T/A. Give him a call!

FLYNLOW92rs · 06-16-2004, 02:01 PM

I know this is nearly 1 month away, but anyone interested in possibly meeting together before hand and driving out there.....

gmendoza · 06-16-2004, 03:05 PM

FLYNLOW92rs I'll meet up with you. We'll start a caravan.

82FirebirdTA · 06-20-2004, 02:30 AM

I'll meet up with everyone.

8T8IROC · 07-02-2004, 03:10 PM

I know I would still like to go, pretty sure that Rusty will be going as well, as well as possibly another friend with a 4th gen. Actually still have to side which generation to show up in, but lets see if we can all agree on a caravan location for those of us in the Inland Empire. How about Ontario Mills at 8:00am?

tealman92 · 07-02-2004, 03:25 PM

Im going. That sounds like a perfect place to meet Randy.

lonsal · 07-02-2004, 10:25 PM

I'm signed up. Now which car to take? The white car or the other white car? More than likely I'll go topless since it is set up more for canyon carving.

Don't forget the hat cowboy

Actually just jealous because Donna & I can't go topless, anymore

lonsal · 07-06-2004, 05:41 PM

Rumor has it that Donna is driving a Dodge truck these days.

Back from the dead! (I'll explain later...) Just saw this thread- guess I had better get crackin' on the 'vert over the next few weeks... that $7k tax return is gonna come in handy!

Question for Lon (or anyone else that cares to chime in): What spring/shock setup do you run on your 'vert? I know you have Bilsteins, but the softer or harder ones? my AGX/H&R setup has got to go... nice ride height, but that's about it. I was thinking Bilsteins/Eibach pro-kit. Hope to see you all later in the month!

drop-top IROC · 07-07-2004, 11:36 AM

lonsal · 07-07-2004, 11:41 AM

Eibach Pro-Kit springs. Bilstein HD shocks struts. It turns out these are the wrong ones to use with lowering springs, regardless the front struts are the same it is the rear shocks that have too long of a stroke.

Bad news, I think the quota of convertibles has already been met.

I've paid the registration, but I still need to get a smog check on my 'vert, so maybe you'll be OK.

Lon

8T8IROC · 07-07-2004, 12:49 PM

I had Hotchkis 1" drop springs and KYB GR2 struts and Gas-A-Just Shocks on my RS - along with Hotchkis LCAs, PHR, and Alston SFCS, made for an awesome ride

So would I get the HD struts and Sport rear shocks? Is there really a quota on 'verts, or is Lon just goofin'??

If they don't want me to grace their cruise with on the last IROC's to roll off of the line (12/89), I'll just take my ball and go home...
