Bummer, Eric.

Sorry to hear that.

 

Take your time Eric, my thoughts are with you and your family.

Nice looking Mustang Steve, one of my favorite body styles, can't wait to see what she can do.

12's Travis, don't know if I believe that, guess I will have to wait and see.

Car is looking good Robby. It will be nice to see everyone again and see how the cars are running.

Oh, Alex make sure and bring some decals, I will be getting the silver colored one, maybe a black one too.

 

traviz your gonna hit 13.2 at 109mph ill bet


oh well let me know guys

 

Hey, so whats the plan, is anyone meeting up 10:00-10:30 at the sunrise In&Out again ? or should we just keep an eye out for a gaggle of thirdgens at the strip.

 

i vote we meet at in n out at 10:00

 

Me too.

 

Hey Steve, any chance you can bring your DV Cam again to film. Mine is loaned out and no chance I get can it back by Saturday. I'll pick up tapes if needed.

 

yeah travis you'll need traction, your tires suck you should be able to run consistant 12.9-13.0 cause a 100hp should be a full second off your ET in the perfect world.

Im bringing my digicamcorder also I'll go get a/some tape(s) before saturday

 

well never mind i will be comming......maybe racing havent decided yet....

 

In n out at 10 sounds good

 

Yeah Alex,I'll bring the camera.I can get some tapes,it's no big deal.I got a new digital camera too so I'll bring that.My 3.73's are being installed right now and I'll have her back tomorrow.I heard I'll notice HUGE difference in the power.That thing moves now,I can't wait to drive it with the new gears.I may stick a cobra or gt-40 intake on before saturday too,we'll see.

 

Cool, as long as someones tapin' and we can get some footage for the site -- thats all I want. I'll also have my digital still cam, so I hope to shoot all the thirdgens there before the days end.

I hope you like the new 3.73 gearset. I just stepped down about 2 months ago to 3.42's - the 3.73 were too short FWIW. 3.42's seem ideal for TBI cars making moderate power, short enough to get up and go and tall enough for a nice cruise on the freeway.

 

i wish i could have my 3.42's in my car before track day but it aint happening.. unless i can get my new summit cover ordered by wednseday so i can have it installed and **** ON friday. when i get paid.

 

I might just get to In&Out on the fifth, I just got the IROC back and the old T5 has seen better days, but I'll try and come out.

Thank *** for Pick N' Pull, we'll see if this T5 doesn't give me the old "rockcrusher" whine and the 3-4 "cap'n crunch shifts".

 

I've seen this last item in two posts back to back, and it being my responsibility I must remind you -
Thanks guys, no big deal, it's just the way the man wants to run the show.

 

am i an offender to any of those rules? i dont think ive ever substituted symbols, to make words, i just say them, like **** **** and bitch for example. oh and cant forget ****

edit: wow i can say bitch? then its not my fault heh.. anyone else like the puppybowl that was on tv at the same time as the superbowl? i do. actually, not really, i just like the show so i have a reason to say stuff like, "thats a might fine bitch", and "her puppy isnt a bad bitch herself".

edit 2: hey steve, i double checked, these headers are not ceramic coated, just.. chrome or nickel plated..im thinking about buying them and reselling them at a higher price hehe

 

 

Nice job Travis.

You will like the 3.73's Steve, they are the perfect gears in my opinion. I will be getting them in my car by the summer I hope.

 

i cant wait for my 3.42's to be installed, but i have lots of prep to do before then, new cover, 9bolt caliper plates, royal purple gear oil, new shocks springs. i think that covers it.

 

Someone ban the BB than because it substitutes symbols for me, and I said, thank g-od.

What an evil word to say lmfao

 

69 degrees and sunny -- sounds like a great day.
Should provide for some pretty quick times too.

I'll try to go, how do I find you guys haha

Should I just put up a cardboard sign that says "thirdgen.org?"

EDIT: Just saw that it said you guys are meeting at in and out.. can someone give me the address so I can mapquest it?

 

2475 Sunrise Blvd., Rancho Cordova

Traveling on the 50 Fwy., exit at Sunrise Blvd. and head north. The In-N-Out is on the right side of the street.

 

cool I'll try my best to make it! I'm the white trans am with the blue stripe

 

oooh, 25th anniversary edition. nice.

no need for a sign, you won't miss us.
whether at in&out or at the track, there's usually not tons of folks there on saturdays.

rims/tires arrived at the shop today.
i'll be racing fo sho.

 

always with my old work haha... oh well..

ill be racing too...ill bring my laptop for those who wish to get a scann on their car too.

btw check out the thread that is stickied for our next gtg

 

we have a sticky??

 

yes we do and heres a link for all you lazy people

https://www.thirdgen.org/techbb2/sho...hreadid=281541

 

sheesh, I still have to wax my car and buff out all the water spots, I don't want my car looking all dirty in front of you guys! This week is taking forever!

 

gates open at 9:30, but races start at 12?
that's sorta odd.
so about how many folks are racing 5-6 3rd gens and 1 'stang?
my car isn't sparkling either robby, no worries.
what times are y'all hoping for?

 

at least a mid 15 low 15 being an amateur. I need to learn from the veteran travis who's pulling hi 13's on headers and a cutout!

 

Low 14's high 13's.The car is running really strong,especially with the new gears I can burn out already doing like 20 mph and into 2nd.

 

Sounds like everyone but me will have something new on their car, oh well. I still won't be racing this time, going to wait until the summer after I have some more mods done to my car, plus I don't think a gas leak coming from the tank area is a good idea to have while racing. All good though, can't wait to see everyone's cars and times. Meeting at In&Out at 10am sounds good to me.

 

Bring the laptop for sure, I have always wanted to check out my computer on my car.

 

gas leak eh? nothing a lil jbweld could never fix . ahah

 

If it was that simple I would do that. Trouble is I can't find exactly where the leak is coming from. Sometimes I think it's the filler neck, or it's coming from a line. Without being able to put the car on a lift it's very hard to get a good look under there and find the leak. I have to smog the car by April, when I take it to Bennie's shop to smog it I am going to have him find the stupid leak and fix it since it won't pass smog with visual gas leaks, plus he has a lift of course.

 

hopin' for. . . high 12's low 13's
expectin' . . . high 13'2s low 14's

Last time out was a 14.6 even though I had a similar 2 sec 60' and ~98mph trap speed as traviz did who ran almost a full second faster -- so I'm blaming my tune which was richer than donald trump above 3500.

I cleaned up the tune on the dyno, had 3.42's installed, posi in - open diff out, moser axles, sub-frame connectors, and line lock . . .
heres hopin'
good luck to everyone.

edit : oh yeah, I picked up the first run of the decals the other night. I'll bring them all with me on Saturday for anyone interested.

 

how much are they again?

 

$3 bucks each -- I'm not lookin to make any money.

For a little incentive how 'bout at the end of the day the thirdgen with the best timslip gets a free pick. Street legal only.

 

what do you mean street legal only?

woo im gonna get first picks ^_^

 

street legal - ya' know, a car that you can drive on the street legally. . .valid registration, dot approved tires, etc.

If you, (not you specifically traviz - but anyone) have recently performed mods that would make your not street legal - than maybe you shouldn't consider yourself in this classification anymore.

 

damn im not gonna win now, since i have no cat, AIR, charcoal canister. but i do have 2006 tags ^_^

 

im legal :-D

im hoping for mid to high 13's but probably with traction and better than 2.9 60ft ouch

so probably gonna get around 14.2 at 101mph

 

How about we each make a best 1/4 time guess for ourselves, and the person closest to their prediction shall win.

 

i will start. and i will say.. 12.95

 

that sounds better than the fastest, gives everyone a chance to win

still trying to convince mom to race the vette but I don't think its gonna happen

 

Hey can somebody ride in the car with you?I want my wife to get a video from inside the car.

 

Shouldn't be a problem -- although I think they will want you to pay up for 2 drivers instead of 1

 

The 14 secs is the only thing you have to be aware of.
Extra weight will probably help towards that anyways.
As far as fees, pretty sure only 1 person pays driver fees.
They don't keep track once you are in there who's paid for what.

I'm going to guess 13.8 for myself.

 

your wife will not have to pay extra, as long as your stang is 14.00 or slower you can have passengers, so you shouldnt have any problems :P
