Hey guys and girls my name is rick and i just got into a 3rdgen and am loving it I just wanted to introduce myself and say i'm always up for a meeting gathering etc. i'm really loving my new car although she only comes out when its dry anyhow any advice etc. you can give is much appreciated...Also where is there a good garage with the proper know how on our cars? i live in VA DC area and would really like to know of some people with the right knowledge to work on our baby's talk to you all soon...

oh a pic of my baby....

 

Welcome to the boards -- that is one beautiful third gen. Looks great under the hood too -- maybe even better, (J/K) LOL!

Hope to meet you at one of the gatherings in the spring.

 

Thanks girl for all the props. might i say your car is super fine as well i'll be in touch.

Rick

 

thats a sexy one. good job finding it and good luck with it. what else are you still planning to do to it? it looks great...and if it runs with what it has, i wouldnt be worried about anything lol.

i would like to see the rims though

 

welcome to the boards! awesome looking ride

 

welcome!

thats a mighty fine looking thirdgen

 

Thanks for all for the love i'm very happy with the set up and will probably not do anything to it performance wise for a while...i would like to get the seats re-sprayed as the current ones have some cracking etc. Also on of my parking lights is out..other than that i couldn't be happier...

ZZ24...thanks for the compliment bud here is a pic of the side/ with the wheels...although i'm not a big fan of these wheels there a little to "bling" for me they will probably go of for sell in a couple of weeks. the rubber on them is excellent however BFG 255/60 i beleive and the wheels are billete alluminum...

 

yea, i vote for new rims also. a couple off the top of my head for that would be chrome irocs or torque thrust II's.
Would it bother you if i asked how much you got it for?

 

I am looking into the Thrust already thanks for the info...as for the price its cool seeing as how the place i bought it from is advertized in the pic... muscel car garage...i got it for $10,995...you all think this is a fare price? the price was advertized at $15,9 but the owner got into a jam who owned 5 cars from this place and needed the cash ASAP hence the serious drop in price...which i jumped on Not sure how far you are ZZ4 but it would be great to have a meet up i'd like to see if this car is running like it should be etc...my daily driver is a Truck with 6" of lift a 33's so anything short of walking seems fast to me these days Thanks again.

Rick

 

i live in md about 5 minutes from the va border. do you know where rockville/bethesda is? thats where i am. as for me, my transmission blew not too long ago, so im swapping to a 5 speed. assuming it runs good i wuoldnt say the price was good or bad. seems right around where it should have been. then again i dont really know much about forced induction at all, but it seems like one hell of a nice ride. youll love it here on this forum. i just got mine in june, and now i know so much about them...all i knew before is that it was a sweet looking muscle car and i wanted one since i was a little kid. theres all kinds of meetings going on usually. they probably died down a little because its winter time now. i hope to see you and your car sometime, whether it be a meet or if you just wanna hang out or whatever. you can check out my car if youd like at my cardomain.

 

hello Rick. Welcome. Sweet ride.

NOt a whole lot of good shops in the area, performance wise, but I do some sidework here and there for guys on the forums. I've had my hands in my fair share of LS1's . You need anything, gimme a shout. Otherwise I'll see you at the next meet.

 

that sounds awesome Dialed_in i will let you know if i need anything...even if its a brew in town one night

ZZ4 i do know of that area out in Bathesda, btw nice home page and pic of you car...it super clean...

 

thanks man. you should make one too.
