I just thought it would be fun and interesting to see what everyboyd has planned for mods and stuff during the winter months. I know I have alot planned, just wanna see what everybody else is doing.

 

Finish up the Ram air system on my 87 Iroc. (not doing much on that car since its my daily driver & my Dragracing car.)

82 Pacecar do the break job (since its no longer for sale) Order parts for doing the Interior save $2k for getting the seats done.Restore project

 

sending my car off after chirstmas for a new paintjob, droping in a new engine and figureing what engine i want to have built first.. and after that, what transmission and if my 9 bolt can hold up to it..

 

My plans are the same as the last time this was posted

https://www.thirdgen.org/techbb2/sho...ghlight=Winter

 

Well by the end of the year......I will have air bags on my car.....

Then by Spring Break i will finish the custom interior and do a ss hood, body mods & work, and a new paint job(same color)


Oh yeah and since i live in FLORIDA i will be doing a WHOLE LOT of this.............

 

find the stupid coolent leak and fix it

 

LOL , jerk.

Well, I just ordered my heads tonite, there goes $870.
Holley 650 DP
Hedman coated long tubes into dual aero chamber mufflers.
hopefully by the end of Nov, it will all be together.

Then for Xmas, I'm gettin a 3k stall or so.

 

Bitch :-D:lala:

 

Oh yea I forgot get headers,catback & Muffler system for the 87

 

I'm planning on buying a car. I decided to sell my POS '88 RS. Once I started working on it, I just realized it was to much to deal with right now. Plus this way I can hopefully find an IROC in my price range.

Depending on the year you are looking for, or your needs, you can find a good one for pretty cheap if you dont mind doing some work.

 

Doing lots of physical therapy for my knee, and being tortured since I cant drive it with my screwed up knee And buying center caps,and inserts for the SC.

 

New carpet, fixing the drivers window switch (its intermittant now)

Not that we have winter here in so cal.

 

Hoping to build up a new engine and put some subframe connectors in.

 

my plans:

baer brakes, and some tuning on my susp.,
start he buildup on operation TT

 

gettin my liscense on january 21, 2003 and spending a lot of money on gas

 

Paint! Finally! My garage used to have one lightbulb and one electrical outlet. In the last 3 weeks I've upgraded the electrical panel in my house, added an electrical panel in the garage and put in 20 outlets and 6 fluorescent lights. I also ran a gas line and this weekend I'm installing the furnace. Heat baby Heat!

As soon as the garage is done, I have to go retrieve my Firebird from the in-law's garage and start the mad body & paint thrash this winter. Corvette Admiral Blue paint, flush door handles from a 2000 GP, and a new GT Auto fiberglass rear spoiler.

By the way, anyone who lives where it is warm all year can bite me. I hate winter.

 

I plan on gettin my license in Dec, power windows, and power lock will be added to my ride. I also want to start getting parts for the 4th gen interior swap!!! :lala: :lala: :lala:

 

i am leaving my formula completely stock..

well i drive my car all year unless it snows then i take off work/school..

i do plan on buying another thirdgen making it a weekend street/strip racer.. and then i need to buy a beater good for gas and that i can ride during the winter without having any worries..

 

Well,on my 85 s/c,ive got alot planned.I took it off the road Oct 2nd 02 and its goin back on July 1st 03(my birthday/canada day).Since October 2nd ive bought and installed an 89 Iroc nose w/ shaved emblem,Billet Grill ,Side Skirts,Iroc Rear bumper cover,iroc taillights and a Wings West High Rise Spoiler.Still to come for the exterior is a Cowl Hood and Shaved door handles and locks.Then on to the interior,Re - upholstered buckets,rear seats,door skins,visors,new subs/amp,DVD , LCD and alarm.Then finally the new motor and undercar lights.Got a long way to go but ive already come a long way in just over a month!:hail:

 

Planning on installing my headers and maybe a catback, and just generally want to work on preserving it - got a little surface rust starting underneath. It's not bad, but I want to stop it NOW. And whatever I might come up with before it's time to shine it and drive it.:lala:

 

* Install 9 psi ATI kit
* If I have the time, new exhaust
* If I have the money, Pro-built trans

 

for right now its in the barn up on jackstands and under a cover but prolly in dec or jan im gonna plan on this.
* slp take off posi unit
* richmond 3:73 gears
* tci breakaway 2500 stall converter
* asp crank pulley
* full 2 1/2" dynomax cat back

 

I will try my very best to not blow my motor or tranny so i won't be without a car for 3 months again. I blew my motor after new years and it sucked, dropped in a350 and a week later my mommy fuked up my fender, than a week later someone hit my back bumper and took some paint off. So now its just a beater, paints peelin and its rustin. I'm gonna start looking for my dream GTA, and beat on this one in the mean time, maybe get an exhuast.

thats rough. I've got an iffy knee too, so i can sympathise with you, fortunately for me it's my left, so it doesn't affect driving my auto, however, if a car has even a slightly heavy clutch (like my old chevette) it becomes painfull / imposible to drive in traffic for more than about 30 mins.

driving from one side of london to the other in a manual leaves me barely able to walk! (lucky i live 50 miles north and drive an auto)

as for winter, i'll be getting cold, and spending most of my time washing all of that bl**dy salt off my car.

 

go from low 13's to ????

pull the engine for cleanup and better detail

update entertainment system

update security system

add a second poweradder

beef up the trans and rear even more

add baer front brakes

remove ceramic coated parts for chrome plated parts

possibly change to tubular front end???

also install about 2,000 parts i have laying around like updated digital ignition, better water pump & radiator, etc. that i haven't had time to mess with.

and many more things that aren't worth boring anyone. :lala:

 

how much juice there kandy? baer brakes, wanna buy me some?

 

Brakes, Moser 12-bolt, driveshaft?, TUNING, and probally upgraded exhaust! Funds pending of course. In Spring i would like to get the interior done up with all sorts of stuff but i would rather have it running strong first over "*****" interior mods. Can't wait for summer already, oh yeah.

 

juice? what do you mean?

baer brakes are surprising very affordable nowdays; hell i can get a 12" setup for the price i paid for my gm performance rotors alone....add 200 more and upgrade to the 13". just seems like the better idea; not only will the car be safer on the streets but they look sweet!

 

I'll be getting a nice shiney new trans mount. well.........thats it for now.

 

Brakes only slow you down! any deranged axe murderer will tell you that!

So, did you need to sell your soul to the devil for such a sweet camaro? how much did he pay? ( i heard he sells them on ebay for a proffit)

 

I am going to have a full month off for Christmas break, so I plan on attacking some rust on my car, not on the outside though, I barelly have room in my garage to open just the drivers door.

 

yes i did sell my soul............

 

Was it an easy transaction?

For sale: soul (24 years old)

1 carefull owner, high level of english charm (or is that cheesiness) full moral integrity, sanity slightly lacking, mild inballance

$15,000 or best offer

:lala:

If it does not sell, i'll keep attacking those little things ( weatherstriping, dull fog lights, lack of sex life etc....)

 

first things first... gotta get my tranny rebuilt. didnt think it would blow up this early, but that's life then hopefully start getting machine work to 350 block...still looking for one! anyone have a spare stock block 350? 2 or 4 bolt main. then just get everything set up, susp, ignition, rear disc brakes...prob going to get a set of bear racing brakes later on. new rims and tires, new head liner, cd player and such...no "system" for me though. need a better rear end for when my new engine goes in.... and after that, it'll prob be time for 3rd gen nationals....

not tooo much haha
Opha

just gonna be the flowmaster American Thunder system for me, gotta save my pennies for thirdgen nats 03! (i figure its about a 4000 mile flight, and an 800 mile drive)

everyone going, i'll se ya there! (i'll be in my Union Jack shorts!)

 

Have they finaly decided on a place and time? I have not checked in on it in a while!

 

well i totally fuked up my leg, crushed both bones, already had three surgeries and have one more Dec 2. so i am just getting the parts i need to make my car haul azz. and then in the spring i will start assembling since i cant go to college for a damn year. well here is the list.

ported and polished heads

cam, lifters, R. rockers, and springs

new intake and hopefully carb

install the flo-pro cat back

install the built 700R4 with 2200 stall

new posi

SFC's

GFX and Z-28 spoiler

then all new paint again in the spring

 

Well,

Since ya asked, I figured I would share some plans of my own. Some of you already know that my 87 GTA has an LT1 in it. I plan to complement the LT1 with a T-56 Transmission. I already have everything for the swap. I will be using the following for the transmission:

Spohn Crossmember with Driveshaft Loop
Spohn Adjustable Torque Arm
B&M Ripper Shifter

I also decided that since I am doing part of the suspension I might as well get the whole thing done. I purchased a Spohn Adjustable Panhard Rod, Bilstein Shocks and Struts, and Eibach Sportline Kit Springs. I will also be installing a set of 1LE Brakes. I already have just about everything except brake lines and the proportioning valve, so I still need to hunt them down. The a-arms well get treated to new ball joints and poly bushings.

For the interior. I am currently finishing up a custom console project. We have taken a 4th gen console from a 97+ T/A and did some custom work to the center console insert. I will post pics once it is all done. Lets just say it was a 4 week project for the time being and my first experience with fiberglass and bondo
Once that is complete, I will be dying the console, radio pod and dash trim black to match the rest of the interior. I will also be recovering the headliner and deleting the roof console. I am planning on installing a descent entertainment system in the car, if money allows, I will be dynamatting the car and laying down some new carpet!

The only other thing I am doing is deleting the a/c. I have already removed everything from the firewall and replaced it with a standard heater box. All I have left to do on that is remove the compressor, install the 1le delete bracket and size up for a new belt.

The 92 Camaro RS/Z28 Clone I picked up will be getting treated to a B&M Megashifter and Manual Fan Switch. That is it for now!

Hopefully all will go smoothly and I will be able to attend the F-Body meet in Indianapolis!
