I just registered, I've been visiting the site for awhile and finally got registered! My car's the one in the middle with black ramair hood

 

Yep, theres a few of us from MI.
Where around is Newberry at?

Welcome to the boards, even though you've technically been on them for a while.

Matt

 

Welcome!!

i've been through Newberry a few times.

 

He's a genuine Yooper. Welcome aboard. You guys got any snow up there yet? I'm looking forward to getting the snowmobile out and heading back up around there, hopefully within a month or so.

 

Newberry is in between Sault ste. marie and Marquette, eastern upper penninsula.

I had the snowmobile out once already (well not mine my dads) he has an RX1 and a 1M 900efi with a 159" track, can't wait to ride that one! If you plan on coming to the Newberry area snowmobiling I would be happy to show you the best ride areas.

Does anyone go to the St. Ignace car show?

 

im from Taylor.....which is like 15 miles south of detroit...i've never heard of the st ignace car show.
well welcome to the boards!
*Leah*

 

I'll keep in touch with you. The last few years we've mostly been going to Munising, and riding west into the Keewenaw area due to bad snow conditions. I hope this year is better.
I've heard that it has grown to be a huge event in recent years, and that people from all over the country attend it, kind of like the Woodward cruise down around here. Sounds like I'm going to have to check it out one of these years.

 

Man thats weird I use that SN on a lot of message boards. It freaked me out to see it here... I was like really for a minute I guess great minds think alike

 

St. Ignace is great, Chevy is there, representing with some toys (saw the ZL1 camaro there! 4thgen bigblock) also saw car and driver there back when they had that yellow prowler with the matching trailer (now everyone has one of them matching trailers lol ). cruise night is the main attraction, nothing beats zipping around in 2nd gear when you'd normally be in 4th ;-) oh don't roast the rubber cops everywhere, the croud likes to hear the engine rev though.

Motor City Mike- Any weekend you wanna go sledding in the eastern U.P. I'd love to tag along or if its around Newberry I can show you some UnReaL places just shoot me an email rokztar200mph@yahoo.com What kinda sleds do you have?

 

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATS UUUUUUUUUUUP MOTHA****AS!...from here in Sterling Heights. :lala: :lala:

You can also catch me on AIM: Kempotigermaster

 

...I've seen a good number of 3rd Gens around here where I am....I think it'd be cool to get together a TGO crew for the Woodward 2004 cruise....ya know, just to rep the site and the cars and show people that we're just all a bunch of cool *** people supporting our site with our cars. ...any feedback?!?
-Greg

 

if u wanted to get together and cruise woodward to rep TGO.....i would definitly be in!

-Leah

 

I'd be down for the Woodward cruise.

What about the gratiot cruise too?

Matt

 

i'd be up for the gratiot cruise too

 

Hey guys, im in Berkley here, I live about 20 houses off woodward. lots of fun in augest.

 

Hell yeah! I'd be up for gratiot as well! You can e-mail me or get me on AIM if anyone wants to talk at all!
-Greg

 

KuuL! look what I started, we need a Michigan 3rdgen get-together for sure. Detroits a long drive for me of course so is Chicago and I'm going there tommorrow wish me good gasmileage!

 

I just sold my IROC not too long ago but theres a lot of us that got together the past couple of years that met up and cruised Woodward just before the big annual cruise. I got my eye on another 3rd gen so hopefully I can join in the fun thats to come

 

double-sorry

 

I'm in for a get togather, I can probaly get a couple of my buddies to come too.

Matt

 

Checking in from West Michigan here. My first 3rd gen. car I had was in 1990. It was a 1987 Firebird Formula 305 Carb. Loved that body style and had been looking for one for awhile. Just purchased a wrecked 1992 Firebird Formula 350. Bright red with black spiderweb wheels & ttops. 50,000 original miles, absolutely mint condition. Like new under the hood, like new inside, like new underneath. Got sideswiped down the LH side, ripped the front bumper cover, took out the LH fender & LH headlamp assly. Scratched the LH door & quarter. Light damage, drove the car home. Purchased a new LH fender & headlamp assly, still looking for the 91-92 teardrop style front bumper cover. (anybody have one?) Mine is w/o ground effects and w/o fog lights.

 

if its a long drive to detroit for any of u, and u wanna get together but dont wanna drive home afterwards.....i work at red roof inn, im sure i can hook u up with a room.

 

I'M IN!

 

Ypsilanti / Ann Arbor here. Eastern Michigan University actually.

 

I am up in Flint, Doubt I could make any trips any time soon tho.

BTY, St Ignace is a HUGE show, I have been up there when they had an est 100,000 spectators and 3000+ cars.

You may have seen my car, I have always parked in front of the restaraunt that looked like a train on the waterfront.

John

 

1983Fbody i think people are getting sick of seeing my car everywhere so you can check the sig. also check newstands for the next couple months as i have a few articles coming out through primedia and hopefully will have the car together for the 04' autorama at cobo hall.

woodward is always a great time, unfortunately the main day has become to comercialized but the weeklong events are always a blast and a great way to send out the summer.

st. ignace is considered to be one of the great shows of the year. i have yet to attend but i plan to get a caravan together this year to check it out.

we have had a few gatherings here with some of the michigan members and a few from canada.....last year we tried to get something going but interest was lacking so the idea was dropped. we were able to get a record showing of thirdgens at the 2003 camaro superfest in ann arbor michigan and we look to beat that number this year so all of you should try to attend.

as far as the gratiot cruise, my organization Motor City StreetRodders helps put on the south and central gratiot cruise and is the main organizer for the north gratiot cruise. this year we have alot of huge plans making it a weeklong event so be sure to check it out.

anyone who is interested in getting a gathering together or looking for michigan car shows to attend just let me know. i have a huge list of thirdgen owner contacts and show locations.

 

jeff you are now elected to do another michigan third gen gathering come spring

 

im from wyandotte

 

Merry christmas everyone.....hi to you there 6spd, over in the 48315 area.

John

 

Hey, just wanted to say newberry is a great place to ride. I stop in at that rainbow lodge to fill up. How uch snow u guys have. I will be coming up there in february and staying in paradice. WElcome to the boards.. I am from michigan butr live right on the line, by toledo, oh.

 

we got no snow now that it has been raining for the past few days ... I am glad too, I hate snow, I like to look at it but it causes more problems than anything IMO.

Besides Christmas is over... we had snow for Christmas I figure all you other MI-ganders did too

John

 

I livith in MI, St. Clair, north of D-town about 45 min, and south of Port huron like 20 min. Where is everyone else?


Matt

 

I live in Eastpointe, which is about 10 min north of detroit, right near the I-696 and I-94 interchange. I go to school at Western Michigan so during the spring I'm in Kalamazoo.

Matt

 

i want it to snow again. when its nice out i want to drive the car, and its impossible todo right now with no interior and no drivetrain

plus i miss doing donuts with the winter beater :lala:

 

What!? There's no snow over there? I figured there would be. i guess thats good, it will better for driving when I come back this Sunday.

Matt

 

nope no snow

 

Ok, so this PROBABLLY DOES belong elsewhere....but i'm gonna post it here anyways! dammit! lol!
Ok, so I just found out today (12/31/03) that I need a new engine for my 1987 Trans Am....yes, it sucks......so much for the holidays! Anyways, if anyone has either a good condition 305-355 at a reasonable starting price of 2000.00 or lower, then PLEASE let me know. My T/A is my daily drive and the only car I have and it just died on me out in Fowlerville on Sunday night!
I'm open to anything. Thx! -Greg

 

that's funny you brought that up....it just so happens there is a guy on here who is looking to get rid of his setup. 6SPEED84Z28 has his motor, 6 speed and dfi for sale all for a very reasonable price but it is a bit more then your looking. you might try emailing him though as it would be an excellent upgrade to what you have if you can scratch up some extra cash. if you can't check the junkyards...alot of tpi motors for cheap. i know i sold my 5.7 for 750.

 

17th and pennsylvania

my car is so ready.... well not really but now i have some motivation

 

hey me too

 

i think i know where thats at :lala:

 

jk

 

:hail: :lala: It's all good! -G

first ones made... best ones made:rockon:

 

I live in Midland (Saginaw area). Although I am in Lima, OH for college I would meet up for events. I attend Ignace/Woodward every year.

Studying what I love, Degree will be in "High Performance Automotive"

We should all meet at a dragstrip when its nice again. MidMichigan/Milan/Lapeer. Theres one in Ubly ive been to also. Not the greatest, but you get a lot of runs in!!!

 

You go to UNO, i am sorry. I went there, that town BLOWS. Also have you gotten everything you own stolen yet? Yea well i finished there summer year 2002.


BTW i live in St. Clair (not shores) its 20 min south of Port Huron about 40-45 min north of Detroit.
