We are planing another get together again. This time it looks like something indoors. Right now we are making asses out of our selves and going bowling. Somewhere in central jersey. So if you know a midnight bowling place in central jersey. let me know. Other sugestions are up for review also. Right now the usual people but we want some new guys. DEC 14, 2002 place soon to be set

 

unfortunately, i have final exams that week chuck so i wont be able to make it..

 

hmmm i am gonna research into this..to see what hours these bowling places are open till. this is gonna be awesome hehe

 

hey Id like to go ill be a newbe, but ill try to get my other thirdgen owner friends to go too depending on where it is live in somerset county

 

hey chuck theres the Strike and Spare bowling alley on rt22 west in greenbrook. they have a midnight bowling i guess u call it. i think it starts at like 11 and they put like black lights and **** on. hows that sound? if u want ill get u the number to the place so u can see into it farther.

 

Yeah the Strike and Spare on 22 is nice. Also in Trenton there is a bar called Slocums that has bowling. I think certain night's it's only like $1 or$2 per game.

 

we have a lane on rt. 31 called Washington Lanes...they have glowbowling with black lights and stuff heh
open till 2 i think

 

I'll be there.....with any luck...my IROC will be done.....and you all will finally get to see it........:lala:

 

There is an alley near my house called thunder bowl. I think it is open till 2am. It is a couple minutes away from the stop n shop on route 37 where the meet in Sept was. Oh yeah and the parking lot is huge.

 

Theres one in Hazlet. I know it used to be open all hours 2 days a week. You can play all night for like $20. It is located on highway 36 in the Airport Plaza shopping center. Exit 117 off the parkway. 30 seconds away from the parkway exit.

 

I don't know any bowling alleys in central jersey, but I'll definately be there considering that I don't remember making plans for that day.

 

ill be there... but remember... no good at bowling... my last day of school is the 13th.. so the 14th i should be up to do something.. i probably wont have to start work till the next week.... im down.. and misterjuice.. cant wait to see that killer... ahh!

 

Well, you can count me in guys. I might even get my friend with his 1LE to go. He doesnt like to leave his car alone in parking lots. But seeing it will me surrounded by 3rd gens...he might budge.

 

Don't you guys like me or something? Everytime you have a gathering I am up here at school. I mean if I smell just tell me and I will shower

 

hehehe what time does everyone get out of school.... i know a lot of guys cant go cause of still beeing in school for that week.... i say we move the date back.... just so we can get a larger group
goin.... i say the 21st!... i know its close to Xmas... but we should deff. push back the date....

 

yeah closer to christmas is better for me...

 

Big Al, and the rest of the guys who were looking forward to seeing my pathetic little 305 ( i know i may be tooting my own horns here, but i know Nikhil and Chuck wanted to see it too)

The Big Bad Supercharged 305 IROC :hail: should be ready in 2 weeks....I spoke to Chris from ECS yesterday at E-Town...he says he's gonna get the car taken care of this week...but realistically i say it'll be done in about 2 weeks.... cuz parts need to be ordered from 9bolt.com

So, if everything goes right....It'll make it's Thirdgen.Org appearance, LIVE and in PERSON, at the gathering.

i SOOOOOOOO can't wait to drive him again (yes it's a him.........I shall call him......Mini me.....NOT....his name is THE ROC.....i know..how original right? but i'm downright corny, so bite me)

 

hey... if i had a car... and it had a SC on it...id call it the roc too... killer..... im scared of the slaughter house 305... thats a good one! anyway... lets move it back... nik's not gunna be able to see it unless we move it back to the 21st. and chuck.... chuck can go fly himself off a bridge with his "evo camaro" dumb ***! heheheh JP chuck....

 

i must say....I like the thirdgen boards much more than LS1.com board....there's no politics (read tuner shops war) involved...we're all here to have ourselves some good times....with people who likes the same kind of cars......and that's what it's all about..... not whose shop can build a faster car etc etc.

this is probably part of the reason why i'm gonna get rid of my LS1....

:hail: Thirdgen Rules...that's all i gotta say

 

the biggest reason for that is... there is no shops that do TPI... hehehehe its all basic engine building... no hi tech super engines... but i would love to have one... ahh!

 

I'd love to see that supercharged 305. I almost did that with mine, but eventually I decided to go with a N/A 383 instead.
It would be very cool to compare the performance to see if I would have been happier with the SC

 

for now the 305 suit my needs.....which is just having fun. It is still running with stock programming. but i broke some teeth off the ring gear in the rear end. so it's at eastcoast supercharging right now getting repaired, and they're gonna put on a new supercharger belt, and a race pipe in place of the catalytic converter, then hopefully they'll try and dyno tune it (conservatively 410 hp and 450 ft lb at the wheels is expected according to the folks at ECS).

if you haven't seen the post where i got it dynoed at Crazy Horse in the summer it made 367 hp and 406 ft lb but that was going to 5500 rpm (with a catalytic converter that we found out is clogged), according to the folks that installed the supercharger (LaRocca's) the peak hp # will be achieve at like 6200-6500 rpm. but i don't think i'm going to push her that high.

well I hope the T5 can handle the duty for another 6 months, because I have been talking with Eastcoast Supercharging about a new set up... 350 w/ DFI, T56, and strange 12 bolt and possibly upping the boost to 18 psi (i'm at 13 psi now)

next season should be interesting.

 

one word, two syliabuls... in-sane

 

That's sweet. I'm definately going to add boost to my next car. I'm planning on buying a 69 Camaro in about a year and starting a build up of that. I'm not sure yet what I'm going to do engine wise......I want to shoot for something wild like 800-900 horsepower. Originally I was thinking about doing a 454-502 bigblock with a roots blower and a good set of heads and cam. Then I was thinking about using one of those new Paxton blowers that is centrifugal, but feeds up to the carb.....only problem is right now I think they only make them for small blocks. So my next idea was a very large smallbock (406?) with one of the new Holley or Edelbrock fuel injection systems and the Paxton blower going into that. What do you guys think would be the best economically and easiest to reach my goal with?

 

if your goal is 800-900 hp (are we talking flywheel hp or rearwheel hp?) but regardless....I think you can get there with a smallblock without too much problem.

I say even with your 383.....or you can go with a 406 or 421..... with a ramjet type setup or one of them Accel pizza box plenum (DFI ofcourse) good set of heads/cam and 18-24 psi of boost from a D1SC procharger or may be even a F1 procharger. of course i'm just talking outta my butt as usual cuz i know very little about engine building

There's one of those at Eastcoast Supercharging....421 with a D1SC Procharger.....the thing is sweet.

 

try a 560 boys.

 

I would say like 900 flywheel horsepower.....I think that would be sufficient for a car I plan to drive to work atleast once a week when it's done.
The only problem I see with going injected is cost. Although I will be graduated and have a job, I won't be making tons of money early on.

 

On route 1 north near edison there's a bowling alley called the brunswick zone (used to be carolier lanes), and i think they have some kind of late night bowling.

it's actually right around where the new cadillac dealership is. unfortunately, it's right after a big construction site (they're building some kind of overpass where rt 130 meets 1), and there's been a lot of traffic. there might not be anymore, i don't know, i've been up at school.

anyway, the 14th i'll be in the middle of finals, my last exam is the 20th (ouch) but i should be home by that afternoon, so the 21st might be ok for me. personally, i've never been to a thirdgen meet yet, and if i'm gonna go to mark's Huge meet, i'll probably want to meet some of you guys first.

so, if it's on the 21st, count me in, for now...

Pat

 

it should be interresting on the 14th with my brother attending..you guys this is crazy..he HATES cars with a passion yet he wants to attend all our meetings..go figure lol

 

i don't know how a person can hate cars.....I am a camaro freak

 

Nikki,
Your brother probably just want to make sure none of us grease monkeys are trying to pick you up!

 

in that case hey Nikki...how YOU doin?

 

hey, no one answered me yet! can we move this back to the 21st.. we can have a lot more college kids comin..

 

yeah, i get off the 18th, plus there is a bowling alley in Manville that is open really late, and it is maybe 10 mins from Dukes' Island Park (also my suggestion). So if you want me to check it out, i'll be home next weekend and i'll talk to them. PLEASE move it back? Just a week?

~Matt

 

yea ive heard of the bowling alley in manville but with the type of people that go there, i think somones car will get keyed or broken into , with the kinda stories ive heard from people that have gone there.

 

agreed, but the place is perfect. Depends on what you guys want. Tell me if you want me to check the place out next weekend.

~Matt

 

yea, i just found out like matt that im out of school on the 18th so im good for anything after that...

 

as it standsnow that isa little to close to x-mas me i dont give a **** but alot of people have plans. thatweekend before xmas with shopping and ****

 

i do understand about the shoping and all... but this is gunna happen at night... if u are gunna go shopping... do it durring the day.... we only meet so often... lets really get this going... ok? and plus im a little wasted right now... hehehehe ... need more...dam.. to late... gunna sleep right now... aight boys and gals... im out!

 

I agree about the Manville lanes not being the best place to leave our cars parked outside at night. I would rather drive the extra 20 minutes to Strike and Spare....just have to plan ahead for a lane so we don't wait 3 hrs for one.
I checked out Slocums in Trenton....it's not bad, but I don't know if we would have adequate parking space. Only option I could see if we want to do it there is meet at the college and then car pool over or walk to the lane....it's only like 4 blocks away.

 

i agree, strike and spare on 22 would be far better, plus the "Midnight Club" might be meeting at Perkins that night and we could stop in. "This guy (Curt) knows what I'm talking about!"

whatever you guys decide upon....count on me and MY :hail: IROC to be there. oh yes......you heard it right boys and girls....the :hail: IROC will finally make it to a gathering.

 

nice!

 

We have a definite date yet? I'm pullin' for the 21st so Pork and the guys farther away can make it back from school in time

 

got a call from eastcoast supercharging today....they pull the cover off my rear diff.....i broke 1 and a half teeth off the pinion gear........new ring/pinion have been ordered. i should be back up and running next week

 

ahh that hood looks good... u's gave me an idea.... im sculpting my car in my head.... hummm yes... well i cant wait.. yessss please move this back... 21st!!! thanks guys chuck where is ur ugly ***....

 

Here i am you bastards. well the majority of the people want it to be the 14th. not to close to xmas and still time to spend some extra money before you have to go and buy your girls a bunch of ****. or vice versa. it looks like brunswick lanes in new brunswick
im callin them tomorrow and finding out

 

damn, so its definitely going to be the 14th? 21st would be good for me too since the 14th will be the weekend before finals, not leaving my room for a good 72 hours that weekend. if at all possible i vote for the 21st but you gotta do what you gotta do. Surya i'll just have to see the IROC over christmas break or something. post more details when you get a chance

 

I could try to make it just need a location and a time if it rains or snows I'll be in my truck

 

I'll be there either way hopefully.....who gives a damn about finals....I'm a senior....I just need to pass!!
