I'd definitely be down, but unfortunately yesterday when I was in the inside lane of a traffic circle at 142nd a flatbed truck cut me off coming in to my lane he did not yield and scrapped up my fender and hood pretty good.
So it's pretty shameful to drive right now. .

Ya, I was pretty pissed. Got a witness though so that's really good. Otherwise I'm sure the cops would take a 40 year old truckers word over some 17 year old high school kid with a dope car.

Yes to quiet is right, Come on fellas lets so if we can't get a night/afternoon were we could meet up and grab a burger and talk about our beloved 3rd gens glory days. Is it me or have you guys noticed more "camaros" out this year with the return of the Camaro to chevy's salerooms? I've sen alot and alot of nice ones too.

Hey Stangski do you go to NAIT? I remember seeing a gta like yours hanging around there.

Stangski09

iTrader: (10)

Nope. I went to Archbishop MacDonald and will be attending NAIT in the fall. Def won't be driving the gta in winter though.

Zippy22

Martin, representing himself, had a 2:00 pre-trial meeting scheduled today at the court house with me, my lawyer and the judge. Appearantly, Martin called in (at 2:45) saying he "couldn't find any parking down town that took debit card". The defendant was granted 10 days to pay a fine and reschedule the meeting. Failure to comply allows us to proceed with a judgement (?) What a dork. Will post update when available.

smooth

I'd be up for a cruise this weekend, I'm also in the north end Woody (Okay a cruise 137 alot but live closer to 137 and 50th st)
Anyways Sunday looks like the best time to get together weather wise.
I'm the guy who drives a Blue 90 with ss rims and the personalized plate
who wants to join up??

as long as you promise not to drive any faster then i can push my heap, went to get the engine bay painted today, motor might be back in it before too long.

1986Z28OWNER

iTrader: (1)

does it have no hood perhaps?

Stangski09

iTrader: (10)

K guys. DO NOT ever take your car to shoppers on yellowhead for work. Insurance finally came through for me and got my gta booked in for a new fender and hood. And I am getting a dent fixed and the spoiler repainted. First of all door bushings, a dent, and a spoiler repaint costed me $2800 which is complete bullshit. Second of all my car has been in there since September 8th, and I still don't have it back. The body shop manager neglected to tell me that they had ordered the wrong hood for the car. I had to find that out by going in a few days ago asking where the **** is my car. He didnt notice that it was a "trans am GTA" he thought it was a firebird with a 350. So while they waited for the new hood they just parked my car out back not doing any work whatsoever to her. So just last friday they finally brought her in, and now he told me that i'll be lucky to have my car before halloween. Is there a law or something against this? Should they be giving me a big *** discount. Or do I sit at home and continue to drive my brothers 86 lincoln town car and pretend like im not mad. Cause right now I feel like ****ing this guy up.

Thanks for letting me vent =)

Hey everyone, newbie here, hope to get a few ideas for my work in progress..

jarredsoon

anyone up for cruising around one of these evenings??? Just lookin for some street time and could use another 3rd gen. Usually just me and some sucker in a mustang I happen to run into. I live in the north end by castle downs.

I'm going to have to join this thread... I'm in Bonnyville 3ish hours north but Im always looking for an excuse to drive to edmonton and am probably moving there for school next fall. Cars a metallic blue firebird, It's pretty solid but could use a lot of little things to be mint again especially interior pieces.

Can anyone recommend some good junkyards in edmonton? I know theirs David T's but from what I read on here I should avoid that place at all costs.

tahoelt

ya david t's a rip off, but heres another edmonton area camaro guy. barrhead actually about an hour north.

kdogg90

david ts is a rip off parts are too expensive

85Fbirdnub

Edmonton here also.

Looking at getting some work done on a project car I just bought here (85 Firebird, with a 305 swapped in over the stock V6).

anyone know any decent shops that specialize in 3rd gens?

CanuckDreamz

Been a year since someone from the neighbourhood has been on?

Weather's looking great for a a&w or similar club meet, and cruise. I haven't gotten an email in a while, anyone know what's going on or if there are any plans in the works?

Otherwise, we should definitely be putting something together asap.
who's in?

89GTA/ws6

I would also like to add that I wont be racing but my grampa may or may not be racing his 87 formula so if you do come look for a bright red 3rd gen with a big silver firebird on the hood!

Dr_Zed28

Does anyone know of any meetups or events that are happening in the Edmonton area in July?

skinny z

Is this thread still alive? Doesn't seem so.

Edmonchuck

You just resurrected it!

skinny z

Well, let's see if we can't get something started.
The season is more or less over I know. That said, I'm moving to Edmonton (Millet actually but that's close enough) at the end of this month and hope to get into a crowd of enthusiasts at some time or another, 3rd genners or otherwise.
I plan to sign up for the JB Power drag racing program at Castrol next year.



Look for this Camaro on a street near you (possibly this fall if the weather doesn't stay so crappy).

skinny z

Helloooo....

Stangski09

iTrader: (10)

Dont worry, theyre is a good presence in edmonton.

If you can keep up with us three haha, one guy running twins, one guy running a single turbo, and im just running a potent n/a

skinny z

I just pulled into town two nights ago. Drove the Camaro 3500 kms across Canada and the states.
I doubt I can keep up with any of you. My combo is pretty modest in comparison. What I am looking forward to is a trip to Castrol this Saturday. Looking for a 12 second time slip to go with my Ontario 12.x last month. Not bad for a car that knocked down over 20 mpg averaging about 70 mph.
Still hoping there are a few weeks of driving weather before I put the car away for the winter. Did a little cruising yesterday. Might hold off today and then try and get a few miles in tomorrow and then a trip to the track.
Nice to hear someone is still kicking around here.

By the way, is the twin turbo you mention Charlie's from AMS engines? I'd been in touch with him ( awhile back) and at some time or another hope to check out his ride.

Im in Edmonton 82 T/A not much to the dirty bird waiting till tax time then im going to do a couple of little things to it
