Re: Ohio?
I'm so close to having her running, but will the trans hold? I'm hoping after adjusting the TV Cable, changing the fluids and putting a new filter on maybe it will help. If not, at least I get her running this year. But I'm down to get something going, depending on day, time, and location of course.

I.M.O. Toledos biggest car show. 300-500 Kick-a$$ cars!! It's at toledo's hydra-matic(powertrain) >> Mapquest Jackman & Alexis roads! I have Distant relatives in Delphos and ottoville! Used to go to a family re-union @ a ST.Mary's church When I was real young I think. I think the church was in Delphos, not ottoville....

Re: Ohio?
Hi to everybody in Ohio! I live near Wooster.
Looking into buying a 91 RS or possibly a 88 Iroc... cant seem to find the right z28 anywhere
.
Anyways I'm buying the car to fit a 383 which is pretty much mine.

Another guy from Akron Ohio here. I usually go to the Pontiac show at Summit Racing every summer. I used to own Fieros but I sold them all and now I just got an 86 firebird. Hoping to have it all put back together so cruise this summer!

Re: Ohio?
I used to cruise Delphos back in the day, I was from Defiance, but we traveled top Delphos once in a while. Defiance lost the cruise deal just like Delphos, about the same time I think. There was some fast iron running around back then.... Now I'm in Columbus, and have yet to find a good place to cruise....

Re: Ohio?
Its a start. Ill try and be there. My new "hope its running and driving on the street" deadline has been moved back 1 month to end of July. My original thought of when the car will be ready for the street was end of August, so we will have to wait and see. I plan to run into more hiccups after I get back into installing all the parts I have gained over the past 2 1/2 years.

Re: Ohio?
Does anyone know of any good shops that install alarm system/remote start and had a good experience? I bought a Viper system like 2 years ago and have not installed it on my DD yet. I want to try to get it installed by this winter. Obviously a Viper certified shop would be nice. Just wondering if anyone knows any or experienced any they can recommend or warn me about

Re: Ohio?
milford, OH here about 1/2 an hour east of cincinnati right off the 275 loop. I actually see quite a few 3rd gens around here but hardly any seem to be in even decent condition and its impossible to find one for sale here without some going 2000 above what its worth. I finally found a good one for a denect price though and i snatched it up!

Re: Ohio?
I got pulled over last winter by the Toronto police for going 68 in a 55 on 22W coming out of W. Virginia. It sucks b/c it goes to 65 1/2mi from where I was pulled over. That's the only reason I know Toronto, lol.
