I am still here just still shoveling some snow

 

still??? it was 70 yesterday in ohio how is that even possible?

 

We still have some piles of snow at my house. I live up in NE ohio, I don't think it broke 60 degrees here yesterday.

 

New performabuilt stage 2 4l60e is installed, the wiring harness is loomed up and tucked away, ecm mounted inside the car, fixed some odds and ends. 86Base helped me get everything taken care of. I'm ready for some nice weather!

Devan post a pic of your car with the new hood.

 

Sorry, just saw this now.

 

The weather is finally turning nice. Anybody ready to meet up?

 

not getting the car out till June to save on insurance.

 

I am always looking for an excuse to meet up. Currently in Canton.

 

Radiator sprung a crack and can't be repaired. Shelling out for another radiator is going to take some time. I wanted to be out May 1st but now looking for like June/July. Sorry guys. I had a good amount of money saved and decided to buy new computer equipment. Dangit. Then again, if the radiator was fine, I'd be out around May. I'm bumming right now. I just bought all new hoses, fluids for the whole car, oil and trans filters. Grrr, really no reason to do any of it if it's just going to sit. I'll see what I can do.

 

Got my 82 out of the garage, did some rearranging. I have it for sale if anyone in NE Ohio area is interested. Link to sale ad:

Plan on doing some cruise ins, Quaker Steak and Roosters in N. Canton start in May.

 

Shiloh!! Just north of Mansfield. I believe there's 4 3rd gens here.

 

Southern Ohio. In the tri state of Kentucky Ohio and West Virginia. We've got a four third gen birds I can think of including mine but haven't seen a camaro since my dad totaled his around 10 years ago

 

Trumbull Co., NE Ohio. Haven't been to many shows lately, hope to start again.

 

i8wwd pull apart for a radiator for a temp solution

 

How about we schedule a meet on a Sunday afternoon in Canton.

 

A few of us are heading to quaker city this friday for test n tune. Gates open at 5, racing from 6-11.

 

Nice car man.

 

Not worth the time. Have other things to do as well, so might as well wait to do it all right? I'll be in touch too. I have all new fluids I'll need to break-in lol. Adios for now. Found a solution that might be better than what I had for $100 cheaper. We'll see.

 

Does anyone in around here have a set of runners for sale? looking for slp, edelbrock, or any other aftermarket sets. Im in Canton. Thanks

 

I got the drag radials on for the 8th munson

at the min I have 3 guys going aswell but could be 6 people from work coming

 

I have a superram also. What times are you running with yours in the 1/4?

 

ill find out new times tomorrow it ran a much slower with the superram 1st run was 14.1 best was 13.9 I need to get it tuned desperately
I went there expecting high 12s
I cant find my 13.2 @ 106 slip but I have my 13.49 @ 102.52 that was stock tpi
best I could do tonight was 13.93 @ 98.04 and that's with superram and drag radials
1st run of the night was 14.10@97 car just was slow all night

 

You do need a tune BAD. Get ahold of John Wayne on facebook like I was telling you.

 

What's up guys?
Still kicking here, just been occupied with other aspects of life lately. I am now a transporter, and have a new truck. It's a 2011 GMC 2500 SLT crew cab, with Z71 package. So, if any of you guys ever need cars hauled, I'm your guy. I will run pretty much anywhere, if you got the cash.
I didn't see Morgans message about the track until yesterday, and I don't check in here often. I can't go out anyway until I get some tires and wheels, and another radiator. I plan to get a few other things done too, while I'm at it.
Here's a few pics of the new truck, and a few of it doing it's job.

 

Mine runs mid 13's all day long, and probably faster. Only been down the track once in it.

 

ya mine was acting up pretty bad on the way to the track but I ran it anyway its just funny my car runs that much slower tpi vs superam

 

It's because of the tune. The SuperRam is a whole other world compared to stock TPI, and these cars are very sensitive tuning wise to big changes, I have learned. For example, I chopped off my emissions and put headers on, and my MPG and power went to crap. I got a retune, and it turned into a tire frying monster that gets 23 MPG. That's why I always think it's funny when one of these kids comes along with a few mods, but with no tune, thinking he's fast, because I know actually it's slow as ****, lol.
And P.S., don't mess with any of these small time tuners. I have read the stories over and over again. When it comes to something as important as a tune, I go to the pro's who have already earned themselves a name, and run a real business. I used PCM of NC, Inc., and as you see by how my car runs, they know what they are doing and I couldn't be much happier.

 

Now, I need to figure out my fuel issue. This issue reared it's head a few years ago and then went away, but now it seems to be back. The car smells of gas if I run it hard, and it just devours the stuff like water. Cruising normally, it seems to be OK, but if I go too fast or romp on it a bit, the gauge just drops like I'm pumping the **** on the ground.

 

Maybe you have an injector stuck open.

 

zz3 is seeping coolent from the head gaskets apparently a common issue on l98s well alum head anyway

 

I plan to look over it tomorrow. Going to check plugs, test injectors, and check out a few other things.

 

I am unfortunately at the point I have to part with my toy. If anyone is looking for an 87 trans am in the Ohio area I am selling mine. I have it listed on craigslist. I am asking $7000. Rents going up and I think we are going to have to move. Heres the craigslist link. http://cleveland.craigslist.org/cto/5032157790.html

 

I dont think this is the right place for an ad but thanks for the info. I would suggest a sale thread in the for sale area of this board instead. thanks!

 

SO guys, I am being offered this 1990 Corvette, which has just been freshly painted and has been professionally built for auto X. I have driven it, and it is indeed a monster, but fully livable on the street. He said I can have it for 10K. If I can make it happen, should I? Here is a video that was made by a previous owner. Mods are listed in the comments.

It says sold in the details. I would personally never buy it. 12:1 is race gas territory and that cam is really damn big for the street. Sure you could drive it on the street, it wouldn't be all that comfortable though.

 

Ran a new best yesterday at Quaker. 12.01 at 110 mph.

 

Nice time. What was your 60 ft?

 

1.64 on 255 et streets.

 

I trapped 110.5 but could only do a 12.61 with a 1.74 60ft. What converter stall ?

 

ptc race converter, 10", 2800 stall. I don't like it very much. The car launches hard but I can only foot brake to 1800.

Alright i'll keep my comments to facebook. This thread can just die off.

 

New member from Columbus checking in

 

don't think it will but I could be wrong

 

Columbus as well. do you take it to shows or daily driver?

 

If you're going to try and be a post **** and give people **** for what they post, then yeah this thread is going to die off. I don't know what your problem is, but if it wasn't for people like myself, morgan, jason and a handful of other people posting about their cars... it would have already disappeared into the pages. I know the OP (Rob) personally, he's a friend of mine. This whole thread was started so ohio people could talk, share stories, offer parts to each other, and find out what was going on in the local scenes. These threads were the only way to communicate before social media like facebook.

I'll just leave you with this. If you don't like what we are posting about, keep scrolling and move on.

 

Normally most threads should stay on topic. if the OP is fine with it rambling on then thats his prerogative. It appeared that the main idea was for people to connect who were in ohio. I enjoy hearing from others and I think this thread for meeting would be a valid purpose. talk about ohio events and happenings, introductions of new people to the area. etc. it seemed that was the purpose. To ask that a thread stays on topic is normal on these boards and I would think welcome. I hurled no insults to you and don't appreciate your doing that to me but it is a free country... Normally technical discussions are new discussions and posted as such so others can input and discuss the topic at hand but whatever.

 

We are still on topic and are bumping this thread so Ohio people can find this thread easier. People are connecting and conversing with each other about local cars, local track runs and local meet ups so you point has no meaning that this thread has gone off topic. We just like talking about our cars, experiences and helping other people in Ohio
