Hey VJ if you do not get an answer on those specs PM me before noon today with your phone # I have a gm manual at home I can call you tonight and get you all that.

Hey TKD89RS I checked out your guys rides, How the hell do a bunch of 17 year olds afford cars like that. Man I was driving an Opel Manta when I was 17.

 

The "CREDIT GODS" bestow kindness upon teenagers these days. Either that or mom and dad! Not to diss though, i just wish my parents would have bought me my first car(or bought me anything!).

 

Well I got my first car from my mom, since she bought a new one, she gave me the old one... It was an 1982 Firebird TransAM, 305 Carbed, with a 4 speed stick. I worked to get it running again (it needed a new clutch, and some new gaskets as it was leaking oil pretty badly). I then got it running, and drove it for a total of 3 days, when I got into an accident with a drunk driver, it was pretty much totaled... I then went without a car for another 5 months or so (I had to drive my mom's 94 Dodge Caravan, YAY!!)

I then saw my present car sitting around the corner with a for sale sign on it... and being my old one got totaled, and insurance didn't pay me anything for it... my mom decided she would loan me the money to buy it, but I have to pay her back half ($1000).

I have to cover Insurance and Registration Fees myself, along with gas, but it's worth it to have a nice car! and hey that's how the world works anyways.

 

guess what, the guy with the lightning got it when he was 15!! so i had to drive him everywhere in it, cuz he had no license.

 

70% chance of rain saturday and 60% on sunday so going to sears point is not looking so good right now, well see what happens though. As far as the tranny, ill have it down once i get a flare nut wrench to get the last cooler line loosened. Hopefully by the end of the day ill have the new one bolted up, and have it all finished by tomorrow.

 

Looks like rain, and I'm still broke... so count me out either way. I was really looking forward to it tho. Maybe we should organize something else, somewhere else, some time soon.

If anyone does go, good luck with the rain and have fun!!

 

yeah, if it rains there is no point of going, if this doesnt work out we can go to the track new years day

 

Hey i will check this board again later today. I am still up for going unless its pouring out in the morning. They won't run at all unless its perfectly dry, I think, is that correct? I want to know if there is anyone still planning on going if its NOT raining in the morning? If I don't here from anyone by this evening I will figure it a bust and sleep in.

PS I don't know what time zone the post clock is on its 3:00pm right now.

 

well, more than likely it is going to rain today. Im done with my tranny but there are still some things that i want to check before i drive back to school. I also have alot of cleaning up to do. We should try to plan something around christmas/new years.

 

Damn rain, I was looking forward to those races. Oh well I think this post is dead. Darkwolf keep me informed of any local stuff you guys are doing.

 

if some new plans arise please let me know, I would really enjoy meeting up with you guys and doing some tech talk. I would also really like to get on the track and see what my pretty much stock setup can really do.

 

Hey Mystic and VJ and TKD and Darkwolf I added all of you to my buddy list you should do the same so if something local comes up we know who the local guys are.

 

well, the track is open again on Jan 1st, so if we are not all hung over too bad we should try the track thing again. I went last new years a was able to get a bunch of runs.

 

I added everyone to my buddy list on here, but I'm not quite sure how to use it... If you guys have AIM/AOL or MSN Messenger, that would be an easier way to talk IMO. my AIM name is TheMysticWizard1... and my MSN name is TheMysticWizard1@earthlink.net, add me, IM me, and I'll add you back

 

VJ I am up for making a track run anytime the weather permits so hit me about a week before and we will see who is interested. I want to see if my GTA can take your modded 305. I am curious to find out what she'll run I am guessing my run should be in the mid to high 14's somewhere.

 

yeah, im curious to see what my car will run after the new tranny and 9.5" 2400 stall converter. Hopefully the stall isnt too much for the peanut LO3 cam with 1.6 rockers. If it is, oh well, i should have a 350 in there within the next year or two. Im praying for 14.6s though.

 

HEY GUYS! Im glad to see you are all still up for future meets.YES i will keep all of you informed of anything local thats going down.right now OMCRIDER and GOONIEZ28 are coming over to my pad somtime in the next week or so.im going to hook up OMCRIDER with an aldl cable and program and give him a crash course on how to use it.i have already hooked up GoonieZ28 with a laptop and cable on our last meet at my house.i have to say it made me feel good to see how thrilled he was with it.if anyone else in the area wants to cruise by my house with goonie and OMCRIDER on the next meet just let me know and ill give you the details.
ok i gotta run,ill post details soon.later guys.
Adam

 

I was looking into building a ALDL Cable, dunno what I'm doing really... Need to download some software to use it with too... any help would be appreciated... I'd love to drop by some time, but Concord is pretty far...

I've been reading a lot about Data Logging, and PROM tuning lately, sounds like a lot of fun, just need to get started somewhere...

 

Damn Mystic get out and live a little Concord's only 45 min from you. Mama don't let you get out much does she! Hey anyone want to give a hand and maybe learn a little with me, I got to put some Eibach springs in pretty soon, no real hurry whenever time and weather permits I don't have a garage so its outside work for me.

 

Well as for getting out, I do, when I have money for gas.
I really am interested in coming out there... I need to stop by work today and get my check. When would be a good time, for you? When are the other guys coming by?

 

i might be able to help you out with the springs if it is during christmas break and if im not busy, I installed Eibachs 2 summers ago along with struts, shocks, etc. Its a real PITA. Although i didnt use a spring compressor and i had new poly A arms bushings installed and they are alot thicker than stock so it basically took a whole day just get get the A arms in with the springs.

 

Hey VJ thanks and it probably will be about that time. Maybe weekend after Xmas or something I dont' have a solid schedule either but your experience would be a great help. I pretty much know how its done, but I have never done it myslef. I have all the proper tools, two floor jacks, jack stands, spring compressor, impact wrench whatever we need. I am thinking 1.5 hrs for the rear and maybe 2-3 for the fronts. I'll buy you dinner and beers afterwards. I'll PM you when the time approaches.

 

Ah i totally missed out on this post. A get together would be great since I only live 5 min away from Concord and 20 min. from Infinion (sp). Any future plans?
