Tried on the Chicago board, thought id give it a shot here too.

 

what chicago boards did u try... i'm in schaumburg. alota 3rd gens and good car peeps around here. pm me if you ever come around here lookin to show off the bird

 

I'm in Brimfield about 50 miles west of you. My cousins live in Bloomington so I get over that way once in awhile.

 

myself, Momar and Anthony and Levi live in Decatur. I forget their names on here though. We all have "project" cars though. Turb iroc, 383 drag car, torn down TA, and my camaro.

 

Cool, mine's becoming more of a project car these days too. Its pretty surprising there isnt more third gens in the area.

 

i live on the NW side of Chicago, not to many serious thirdgenners around here, so i usually travel when i need to. you fellas let me know when you are hanging out and i will try to drag my Z28 out there....provided it wants to stop the damn lifter/rocker ticks!!! stupid big lift cam......

 

right on

 

Springfield here....and CrazyN8 too

 

Pekin here...I also posted in your Chicago thread.

 

Hopefully going to have it back from Kishwaukee College at the end of the month.

 

I grew up in dixon, still go there now and again. Did you go to high school there?

 

Anybody around the area have an Iroc nose and some Iroc or RS wheels?

 

No, I grew up in the burbs. Graduated from Plainfield. The tornado ripped through there in 90-91 and wiped everything out. It was an F-5. I went back once since then and its just not the same. Not that I cared to go back. I like it out here in the boonies.

 

im in wheaton. but ig o to uti so im up in glendale heights everyday. bloomingdale is right next door.

 

I know that area, we used to go to wheaton once a month to the fairgrounds for the great amirican trainshow back in the 80's, and my Ex-wife grew up in Glendale Heights.

 

I just moved here in Glen Ellyn. I'm attending UTI so I'll be around for a while with the 89 GTA

 

I'm located in Schaumburg and attend the weekly car show at Roselle and Wise at the Autozone store. My car is currently in the shop getting a new convertible top. I'm a member of the Illinois Camaro Club. If you are in the area stop by every Thursday at 6:30pm. Also you can join the Camaro club if interested, it only $18.00 a year.
Here is my Camaro:

Right on, i might do that sometime. Thats a sweet ride i like the cover.

 

I'm from the dixon area,

my3rdgen, didn't know if you were still around or not.

 

I think theres something wrong with my tires.....

 

Looks like you need to oil the lug bearings and change the tire fluid, should clear that right up

 

This pic was takin just after i had my cage installed i think around march this year. Just had to show that pic for a nice smoke show

 

Yup, still here.

I have been ultra busy this past summer. I got fired from Dean Foods (now Bay Valley) I got my job back a week or so later, but in the proccess of being out of work for that week I hit the bricks and turned in a bunch of resume's all over the tri county area. I had a lot of hits and interviews. With work, things to do at home, the wife working full time, the four kids, and finally taking a new and better job here at Borg Warner, I have been REALLY busy.

I did luck out and a friend of mine that I worked with at Deans has a son who is in AutoBody school over at Kishwaukee College. He has the Bird right now and is completely repainting the car for me. All I had to pay for was my paint and suplies. I already had the paint, and the rest of the supplies will be around a $100 bucks or so. Not a bad deal at all.

Do you still have the red RS?

 

yup, and going horribly slow on the trans am

 

What have you done to the T/A so far?

I got my T/A running (again) but I am on my second carb. I got rid of the Double Pumper and got a Q-Jet. I rebuilt it and did a couple of mods to it. It still doesn't run right. I will finish it over the winter after it gets back from Kish. I am going to pull the in-tank pump out and do away with it. I am hoping this will help keep the carb from being over filled with fuel.

 

I have the car totally stripped, bought a cam and intake for it, along with a fiberglass 4" cowl hood.

I just did Campbell's fuel pump over the summer, also swaped rear ends in the camaro to a 3.42 instead of the 2.73.

 

Is the TA blue? If so I may have seen it.

How well does the RS perform now with the 3:42, is is a posi?

 

In the Peoria area, moved here in the spring, I have heard some stories about Minonk opening a track, anyone heard any updates?

 

hey, i live in taylorville, south of springfield. i drive a blue 90 formula firebird.....my car looks exactly like the one in my signature.

 

I live in Raymond 30 mins south of springfield Il

 

Thats a little ways south from here, I wont be driving much for a while i toasted the tranny in the bird last week. If any one has a cheap tranny or rebuild kit layin around let me know.

 

sorry, had some computer problems


TA is black, pulled the motor and trans last year, hasn't moved since.

the 3.42 is way better, not a posi however. I'm buying a 3.73 with and auburn posi from a member on here.

I'm also collecting parts to start a Solid Front Axle swap on my 91 GMC.

 

Did the TA have an L69 or LG4? You going to replace it with a 350?

 

I have a working 700R4 in a full size 86 chevy truck I am parting out.

You come and pull it and its yours for $75.00

 

l69, got a new cam and intake for it, then slowly building a 406 for it

 

Lincoln here, 25 north of springfield

 

It has been suggested to me buy others on the site that we should get a "Rural Mid west TGO Meet" together this summer. We could schedule it around a Chicago meet so they could attend ours and we could attend one that they may throw.

Any ideas?
