Its in north county. and we have some pretty good flashlights. Mine costed $145

 

so does anybody know when the thirdgen fest cruise is, friday or Saturday?

 

It'll be that Friday for sure.

 

We should start a car show/cruise in st. Charles in June.

 

the cruise is on sat after the fest

 

Hey got a quick Q. one of my buddies friend has an 02 ws6/ ls1 powered with a blown head gasket. I would get everything intake to oil pan maybe wiring harness idk, but what would be a good price to offer? I'm not going to buy it until I see that it truely is just a blown head gasket, and the motor has 80,000 on it. Being that 02 was the best year and has ls6 intake stock I feel like if I could get this thing for 1000 or less it would be in my budget.
How long does the swap normally take and how much money did you have in fabrication and other stuff just to get it to run? It might just be worth it to me to just build a better SBC by the time I get the stock ls1 running

 

id stick with your setup. its great the way it is

 

That's what I decided, lsx is nice but way out of price range and you can build a badass sbc for what it cost to get lsx running. I just really need to get mine running right lol it should have put down way more than 260 lol

 

The Mcnair Park car and bike show is sunday July 10 at 8am, its usually a pretty good turnout. I will be there with my 91 rs if its back from paint by then.

Were any of you guys at the wentzville cruise? I seen a black iroc with black/red interior that was pretty clean

 

Yea I saw that camaro too. It was at the fast lane show too. It was definately a show car under the hood.

 

I wasn't crazy at all about the wheels though. By the time I got there and looked around a little everybody started leaving it was only 9 30 I figured a few people would stick around who wanted to race lol

 

I missed the Wentzville Rod Run, I had free tickets to see the Cardinals play the Cubs that night.


If it's the black IROC that was at the Fastlane car show, I know which one you're talking about. I saw it there also, everything under the hood is spray painted silver or is chrome and it has these huge chrome covers that go over the inner fenders.

 

Yeah that's the one, not sure if I liked that or not.. But it was different

 

That car and my car were the two runners-up in the modified 3rd/4th gen Fbody class at the Fastlane carshow...The winner was some red LS1 Ws6.

 

thats the one. chrome covers over the fenders rings a big bell. did you see the 2 blue IROC/Z28 at the fastlane show? I would love to have that pair.

We were at the rod run from 12 until around 10:30.we'd of raced you if we saw your car. next time you're around here I'll show you a great place to drag a mile or so away from wentzville blvd. during the day, you see maybe 2 people along the 3-5 mile road, never anybody at night. plus It's straight enough to go probabley 160(maybe, just an estimate) along the whole road. thats where we clock our 0-60s and 1/4 after new parts.we got caught by cops 1 time and they raced us, and said the only reason is cause there are no houses or people around to hurt if we crashed.

 

that blue convertable was yours, wasn't it? parked next to the blue IROC

 

The convertible is mine, the blue hardtop behind it at the show is my dad's. It's for sale for $9,000 if you want it

 

that black camaro has never beaten me, the last time i saw him at a show he told me that when he seen me pull in his chances of winning went to ****. with all the spray paint and what is brushed on just about makes me sick, if your gooing to put that much time into covering everything up use stainless looks much better..

 

I was kinda surprised that my car and my dads car weren't the two runners up instead of the black car and mine. My dads swap is super clean

 

really you didnt see my iroc? i parked right next to the road from pete's. 573-645-6558 call or text me if somethings ever going on. me and my buddy with his 00 camaro are always looking for someone to run & idc what day of the week/weekend it is lol

 

Is it cool to bring a 4th gen. to the show at First baptist Church in August or is it all 3rd gen.? I sold my third gen. but still own a 4th.

 

Did you just move into a house in St. Charles Hills?

 

No, I live in Monticello off Hwy K. I've seen another 02 Collector T/A around town if that's what you are talking about. Mine has just over 5000 miles on it.

 

There is another one about 10 houses down from me, the guy moved in a few weeks ago. Its the same color with the same graphics and wheels.

 

We could basically throw rocks at eachother, lol. Your down the road

 

I was looking for some local f-body shows, cruises to bring it to. I heard about one Aug. 27th at First Baptist. Anyone know of any others?

 

If anyone ever wants to cruise/race some backroads we know a few good roads in ofallon/wentzville.twistys and straights.
I'm in on the Idea to start a 3rd gen fest in the st. charles area.


oh, and iroc-z_23 , I'll text you in a little bit. so you know, my number is 636-795-4756 and name is Andrew. we go to owensville quite a bit. we have 300 acres along the gasconade river to hunt/fish/camp on.we'll have to meet up next time I'm down that way.we pass right through hermann on the way. hwy 19, I think? the road subway and the bakery are on.

 

Awesome well my car is out of commision and I'm packing for school in Texas. That is correct hwy 19 is that main street in hermann. I got your number so if your ever looking for a run I can most likely get somethin going for ya, theres about 2 others from hermann that have cars that like to play. Every second Friday of every month there is a cruise in hermann at hardees. You will find a run there if you wanted lol

 

ok been driving my 4th gen around and blew out 2nd yayayaya needless to say its in the shop now. but my 3rd gen is not running as well is it should and i cannot seem to get the idle right without kicking a code. basically i need a good tuner to tune my car. i can figure out the idle problem its most likely to do with the space between my throttle body and the tps. just need a good tune.

 

I was talking to that guy with the red ttop IROC-Z that pulled in behind you at The Lot, and he was talking about buying some software where he can burn his own chips. I'm gonna keep an eye out for him next month and see if he shows up again. I'll have to get his number if I see him again.

 

Sweet, I can't wait till I get in high performance so I can do this stuff!

 

Just found out that I'm in high performance next semester. No money saved up yet but o well. I have a block at least.

 

You at Rankin? Easy money being a student there.

 

That's what I hear but I'm looking for a job now. Not as easy as I thought it would be.

 

I can get you saddled up pretty quick if you know what you're doing with machinework. That's where it's at. I've got two blocks I need done, and another friend of mine is always getting machinework done every other week or so.

 

Nice. I'll be in with the cnc machine for the next year. Just shoot me a message when your ready.

 

I love it when I make an order online for parts and I'm a mere 3 dollars short from free shipping. This has happened TWICE now on two different sites. I'll be damned if I have to pay for shipping when I can get it for free! Last time it was a keychain, and this time ended up being a single podgauge so I can hook up my vacuum readings.


It's the small things, I swear.

 

I know its short notice for everyone but Today/Saturday is a huge cruise around st. louis/st. charles. so far we have 70+ cars, there will be a stop for go carts. and to end everything at hooters. this starts at 3pm at the lynch hummer dealership off of hwy 40 in chesterfeild vally. pm me if you need help or have any ?'s.

 

There is also a car show from 9:30 till 2:30 at First Baptist church in O'fallon. Anyone been to that before? The cruise in Chesterfield Valley is that all third gen? I sold mine but have a fourth gen.

 

I used to work at that Church. It's 5 minutes from my house. Jump off Scott AFB exit and you'll be 2 minutes from it.

 

think he means o'fallon Mo my friend.

 

Gateway is opening back up

 

awsome

 

Is sceduled to open march 2012 and nhra will be there in Oct 2012

 

I just found this thread so I might as well join in. I live in west county.

 

Does anyone know where i can get a wire tuck/engine bay overhaul. i dont have the patience to do this and its kinda a cluster ****. I beleive when i had the car swapped from tbi to stealth ram the left my tbi harness in there. Please if anyone knows someone or somewhere that can do this please lmk. i need to get it ready for the swap this winter.

 

Yeah a good buddy of mine is a whizz with the third gens, he could also tune your setup he tuned mine

 

See if he wants to clean up my engine bay. Wire tuck whatever anything is better then right now.

 

about when is the next cruise get together or car show
