It's weird, we've had monthly gatherings in the past, and none lately.

So, how is everyone?? Right now college accounting is blowing me.

 

That sucks about college...same here, just not accounting.

I'd be up for monthly gatherings though - the winter fazes me not

Car-wise, I bought a new hatchback and right rear light fixture to fix the dent in the back of the car. Unfortunately, I can't get the old hatch off!! Two friends and I used every tool we had, but three of the four bolts were rusted together. I'm going to start a thread in the Body forum, but if you have any suggestions, please PM me!!

I also bought Dynomax shorty headers, and they should be here this week. I still need the Y pipe and connectors, so it will probably cost me $500 to get it installed.

It will complete my exhaust system, for I already have a Dynomax cat, and Borla piping and muffler.

My car will still be slow.

Oh well.

15s would be nice, but my RTs lately have sucked. On top of that, I'm having another problem...when I hit the gas the engine will go in and out of power. I know that is sort of vague, but when I start up, and I'm in neutral, if I floor it, the RPMs go down, and if I don't let off the gas, the car dies.

If I gently push it, they go up...but it is a huge power drain and I can't figure out WTF is wrong with it. Again, I'm going to start a thread in the correct forum, but suggestions via PM are always helpful

Anyway, I can't wait to hear from/see everyone again! I had a blast last time!

 

R/T isn't part of your 1/4 time.

I'm getting some Pro Lightning aluminum heads , Holley 650DP, and coated Hedman Long Tube headers into dual aero mufflers.

 

I always thought RT was part of your ET...wow

 

Nope, you can sit there all day and run a 15 . It doesnt' start till you pass the beam.

 

yeah you want good 60 foot times!!!

reaction time doesnt matter but when your racing someone it looks bad when they are ahead at the start!


i am up for another meet!!

 

Nothing much from me. I bought seats off of Nastybird90 :hail:

I have some kind of valve train noise i need to look at, but I have to find that tool called TIME first. I might also be getting a new aerospoiler form Steve86, so I'm slowly working on the exterior mods/resto. I'm saving up for a 383 carbed setup I found on the internet to be started sometime next summer hopefully. My brother wants my 305 for his S10, so we'll probably pull the 305 and rebuild it. I still have to get a new exhaust, headers and catback. We'll see what happens...

So when's the next meet??? And how do you get those grease/grim handprints off the paint?

 

Your car has some caked on I've noticed, sort of like my Mustang.

I would start with a dawn washing, then get a clay bar and go to town, after that, use the Step 1 from Meguiar's Cleaner wax, then use any wax you want.

This should help quite a bit.

 

Well not too much going on here....

Changed work groups and am getting some funds ready for an audit so accounting work is kicking my *** this past week.

Getting ready to sand and paint two rooms in the house. However, with the warm weather this weekend, I highly doubt I'll get any of it done.

Plan on washing and waxing the GTO, wife's car, and the 83 this weekend.

Also still fighting with the damn tranny leak on the 83. Put some Lucas treatment in so it works great but I still need to have it sealed. That probably won't happen until I sell my 85 and have enough dough to pay somebody. The thought of swapping a tranny on my back just isn't appealing.
