well, i have to say, o dam, i forget his name, its like 86firebird or something. He is from quakertown PA. I saw his car a few monthes ago in a show at pottstown PA and his car is by far one of the best thirdgens that i have seen!

 

This is the best front pic that I have right now my Computer is a pile! Those fenders are off of a TA. The car was a mangled mess when I bought it.

 

Thanks, You have a nice car too.

If we didnt customize our cars, Jegs and summit would go broke.

 

I have gotten my fair share of parts from them and JCWhitney. Though for most of the custom body parts and engine parts it was a trip to my local yard and Pull-a-Part. Its scary how they know me when I walk in. I must have gotten every accesory and bolt off a 2.8 from a pull-a-part. It was the easiest way to polish, paint, and get things coated. I got spares and worked on them and just swapped them out.

Now if I could just find a nice V-8 just hanging around for RAIF. Heck we got a cadillac 500 ci engine (8.2L) At P-A-P for $110.00 for my Scout II. Then we found a fresh rebuilt (by Holley) carb for it last weekend.

 

good price on the motor. Maybe you can get a short block out of a truck, and put the heads and intake of your choice. I was thinking about selling my TPI system and going either carb or stealth ram. And Im definatly getting new heads.

Then again a crate motor doesnt sound bad either for your car.

 

The possibilities are being considered. I just have not settled on what should go in. LS1, LT1, 383, 406...Hmmm.

 

Hey raif go with the LS1 that would be awesome. Then when someone says one of those ***** comments you show them whats under the hood, bet that would shut them up. The 383 and the 406 wouldn't be bad either.

 

do a 427 LS1. its being done alot now. The just use a block out of a truck

 

The only worry I have with the LS1 is that alot of the 4th gen guys in my club with them are having bottom end issues. They have all been into the engine. Its not like they are spraying them heavy either. Its just cam and head work mostly. They keep getting stuck at 380 or so HP, when they should be at 400+.

Believe me I want to do the LS1. Then put the new Magna charger right on top. Wooo! Dang that would be hot. I still have a few months to decide (after show season). We are going to do some research on the other sites and see what is really going on with the LS1. I want a fast reliable motor though. I don't want to have to rebuld it all the time.

 

LS1's do have reliability problems. Which is why I would definately go with an LT1 if you want a compromise of good power and reliability and good parts. Oh and they look better too!

 

At Super chevy, I did see a really cool intake cover for the LT1 that was amazing. I got some shots. I will have to post them when I get them developed.

I'm hung up on the fact that the LT1 has been done. I would love the LS1 "wow" factor at shows. But with reliablity issues, it prob isn't worth the risk.

Decisions, decisions...

 

well I swore I posted in here, but I dont see it, and I was mentioned, so here it is

LT1maro, here I am, its gonna be better A.S.A.P my engine is being rebuilt as I speak to a 383 stroker, and I have lt1intake modified for it. so as soon as I get the engine back it will go in. Should be another week or two

 

 

you bet a 12.6 is the best here? mine will be running that +/- a lil bit in about a few weeks. ....well after its broken in.

 

i'm going for high 10's low 11's.......... i'll get it somehow.....

i think everything i put in it with a 150hp shot will do it.....

 

 

Dude, wow your car runs mid 12's.....thats great and all, but this is an appearance thread. Dont need a repeat of page 2.

Hey sweet man! Nice lookin ride.

 

DSLDUDE, you had my car on you list... You just made my day, thanks.

Hey alan the car looks great man, but it always did it's Marc here from MOFBA (RAFORM) hope mine looks good too someday.

 

love pics of all the third gens, but something about the ones close to original, the way the general designed em, does it for me!

 

nice looking!! :hail:

 

here is mine

 

My ride . . .


And it has been modded . . .

 

very nice cars!! mines crap compared to your guys car..:hail:

 

Mine would rate right up there under "100% stock" category!

 

Why does there always have to be some dick talking crap about other people's pride and joy just because it is not how he would have done it ?

 

Cuz that's the way we're made, man!

And that's how someone reacts when they feel strongly about something. Some of the guys here LOVE not only their cars but the image that all 3rdGens portray and it angers them to see the purity of that portrayal destroyed. Sometimes I feel the same way. I will say that it makes me feel good knowing I'm not the only one offended by a 3' wing being installed on a 3rdGen.

 

Ever heard of the phrase "***** envy"

 

That too.

 

you all knew it was inevitable........

 

Kandied! Are those rims polished or chromed? They look great!

 

you decide..........although if you know of anyone who can polish this good i want their phone number.

thanks for the compliment....

 

I'm sure there are others... I really like Flyin' Low 89's car. That one is one of those cars that I just have to look at twice every time I see it.

Dirk's Camaro is amazing! Never seen that one before this thread. Very pretty car.

 

GTA from sweden

 

I think mine is in the the rankings....oh wait it looks stock. nvrmnd I'll just advertise, maybe someone will enjoy it. I seen someone just wanted pictures up to dl them anyway.

 

My vote is for Flynlow89. There too many good looking thirdgens, it is almost impossible to choose a favorite.

 

Can someone put up a pic of my car? Here is a thread it was in
https://www.thirdgen.org/techbb2/sho...hreadid=133216


Thanks

Chris

 

Here ya go Chris!

 

Thanks man. I am still kinda computer illiterate

I've had my 'bird repainted since this thread first opened. Here's a recent shot:

 

ttt


i like this thread, and i think more newer people like myself will wanna read it.

 

I can't believe nobody mentioned Graboid's car. BADASS!

 

This one will always be my favorite

 

Cool....thanx mega...My tops are mine ,Nick418,megaracerx2,delorean247,82firebirdTA,crazyhawaiwan,scottmoyer,sonar un,Sorry to go off topic but the one thats not my taste is MetalliCamaroRs car

 

mmm, i think kandiedz takes it, i think he has the best all around car, i mean air suspension, billet rims, house of kolor paint... etc etc to all the other mods, i just love it. if it was black with a jongbloed hood it would be perfect for my taste, but i do respect everyones car on this site, each has there own distinct character.... good job and props to all
