who's going

 

me me me

 

Maybe, depends on money and if I am working that weekend or not. I will let you guys know as it gets closer. Oh, Travis and Eric, try not to break your cars before the meet, this way we can actually see both of you run.

 

I will be there in the mustang.I need to get my numbers.Should be pretty good and I should have the 3.73's in by then.

 

I didn't know you had a Mustang Steve, what is it?

I plan to be there and running if my new rims/tires make it here by then.
Cutting it kinda close as they arrive the first week of March.

 

hey del why did you order them when you could have went to a tire shop and got them in like 2 or 3 days

 

Hey Terrell,
These are not your average Torq-thrust II/D rims that you can buy off the shelf.
The ones I ordered are a special 2-piece design, custom built by American Racing.
They are not the Torq-D with light gray and diff pattern or the all chrome II's you see everywhere.
They will be powder coated dark gray to match my car, but in the design pattern of the II's.
Standard wait is 4-6 weeks anywhere.
The 6th week is the first week of March, so hopefully it will be here sooner.
If not y'all can wait till the 12th for TNT, heheh.

 

It's an 88 gt.I just bought it 2 weeks ago in oregon while on vacation. http://www.cardomain.com/id/stevesgt

 

I didn't know they were a 2-piece wheel I just thought you were getting some powder coated tt2's

steve did the T/A sell?

 

she's coming over this weekend to look at it.I hope she buys it.I have a few plans for the stang.

 

Yeh, hopefully they are worth the wait & $.

Selling the '87 Steve? No more 3rd gens huh?
You seemed like you would part easily with yours if the price was right. What are you asking for it?

Decent looking 'stang. Well taken care of?
Low 14's high 13's with those mods so far?

 

Hopefully I'll be able to go, I really need to get my tranny adjusted though, shifting too late.

del, those sound like some nice wheels you're getting, can't wait to see them.

Travis, what times are you expecting with the upgrades? High 12's?

 

yup, as long as i can pull a 12.xx ill be happy ^_^

 

I'm hoping to have the 3.73's in by then.I love the t/a.Mustangs were my little brothers favorite car before he died so I wanted to get one,saw this and I loved it so...After driving the stang I realized it was a tighter fit.I like having everything in reach.Plus it's a stick and parts are a lot cheaper for this thing too!I'm not in a hury to sell the t/a but if somebody wants it then it's gone.I'll get another one someday.I test drove an 88 iroc before I saw the stang and was a card swipe away from buying it but then I realized it was still a 305 tpi,5 speed which was cool but it didn't have t-tops either.I would still be swapping engines and such.He wanted 2500 but wouldn't put in a new panhard bushing and I had to drive it 500 miles.

 

Yeh, I've heard a lot of the "pros" of owning a foxbody.
Can't really knock 'em, 'caz in all fairness those guys are just modding older technology to keep up with LS1's of today just like we are.

Race any 'vettes/LS1's with the 100 shot yet Travis?
Looking forward to seeing what you run with the spray and w/out.

 

no good races on the spray yet, just loser cars that i could beat without. however i was a lil cocky at work tonight and some guy was getting shocks for his 04 vette. he said something like "ya this is a quick little 13 second car" and i said, hows it feel that 89 camaro out thier can beat you? haha

 

im having conflict of interest... i may or may not go... well see i want to send off my tranny for warranty work... something isnt right with 3rd gear sometimes under load its like hitting a brick wall trying to shift into 3rd it just will not go, and it wines bad.

well if i can get it running good... and keep up with traviz by than with spray ill go...

 

Hey can anyone help me adjust my transmission before we go to the track. I want it to be running good if we go. I live in rocklin off I-80 if anyone wants to help a young guy out!

 

adjusting the T/V cable is easy

push the button and the little rod thing should slide back then you can get in the car and go WOT with the peddle and you'll hear same clicks and it should be adjusted or you can just open the thottle with your hand to simulate WOT and your done

heres a pic of the T/V assembly(the greyish/brown thing is the button)

 

i read its best to adjust it by pressing the gas pedal and not by opening the throttle by hand. something about the pedal at WOT sometimes being a little different then WOT at the actual throttle.

 

TRUE

I do mine by hand cause my cable is dead

 

Man, I fell behind on this thread, all this stuff happening and I am missing it. Anyway, nice mustang Steve, those are by far my favorite mustang. Looking forward to seeing Del's car with the new wheels. Travis, try not to break your car before March 5, can't wait to see the numbers she pulls. Robby, it will be nice to see you and your car again, glad to hear you are going to run the car. Eric, sorry to hear about the tranny, hope it's fixed in time. How is the car running lately, is it still running rich?

 

ya its rich, ahhaha i get high standing in his garage when he starts the car.

 

yea... its true... ive still got lots of diagnosing to do...as far as the tranny goes im not worried about it.... its not major just pisses me off... if i had to pull the tranny in my garage than i would be but it will be simple at work i think im going to have him upgrade it more while its apart... well see.. even though im richer than hell im still right next to traviz ahha... no one is pulling yet.. unless he hits the nitrous

 

Well, hope you get some of it worked out before March 5. I would like to see both of you run against each other while on the bottle.

 

im not putting nitrous on my car until i get it running straight and a vss haha... and since i dont make that much its gonna be a while

 

Hey guys,

I made a post over at 3rdgen.org to see if we could round up a few new guys for the track and hangin' out in general too.
They are having a gtg at a guys house this weekend, but I am out of town. Maybe a couple of ya would be down to meet up with them and see what's up. Seems it's near the track, off Watt/50 too.

http://www.3rdgen.org/bb/showthread....0&pagenumber=2

 

I posted and asked if I could show up.

 

'atta boy.

 

Lake Tahoe that weekend. I'm out.

 

Thanks for letting us know Del. I may be able to show up for their meet on Sunday, won't know for sure until the weekend gets a little closer, but I will keep my eyes on the post.

 

ill be goin..... hehe cause probably on monday is when my car is going to be down for a month ill bet... i dont want to drive it until its gonna pass smog and isnt being such gas leech

 

Hope everyone's still planning to go. I finally got around to getting new interior parts (seat belts, kick panels, rear deck plastic and trim, etc) so that's good. We adjusted the t.v cable somewhat and it seems to be a bit better so hopefully it'll be okay. there's my update!
see ya,
robby

 

What part of tahoe,we should meet up,I'm in S.lake tahoe.Btw,I sold the t/a today for $3,000,I'll have my mods done for the 5th .This is the last picture of her

 

hope you get another third gen soon otherwise adambros will have to ban ya! lol j/k robby bring your old black spare tire cover and very rear panel, and that long stretch panel on the ceiling of the car, ill give ya some cash.

 

I'm supposed to tell you thats not funny . . .

BTW, I look forward to seeing all you guys out there on the 5th. Since the last gtg back in November, I've gotten the tune down slightly better, installed Spohn SFC's, SLP's line lock, Auburn posi, 3.42's, and a new pair of moser axles.

I'll also be bringing my new Canon 6.3 megapix digital SLR looking to take pics, and a handful of decals. Sorry Steve no decals for the 'stang

 

Bear Valley, really. It just sounds sexier to say South Lake Tahoe. They are kinda close, right?

I'm kinda sad you sold the T/A. I wanted to see it. Did you sell it with the stock hood? Looks like you did.

 

I have the ceiling panel, the others I no longer have, sorry. I still need tan rear carpet! Do you have yours still?

 

I'll be their, who's got the black iroc from the vid? Like to see that click off some 12's and embarass some vettes and lightnings. Looking forward to meeting some other third gen people.

 

here's a quick pic of the redone interior. 180 all together so far, it looks okay I guess, at least it's more tan

 

that black car i believe is dwaynes, he wont be thier, but dont worry my car will be pulling 12's

 

well...maybe ill race....even though im still running rich...wont be keeping up with travis though :-( stupid nitrous, watch your still gonna be 13's travis

 

Yeah,sold it with the stock hood,the sd hood is in the garage.To make matters worse I was in Carson city,30 miles away and saw them cruising in it.I might buy a 91-92 z28 somewhere down the road.I installed my Steeda tri-ax spring loaded short throw shifter.I just bought some new ceramic coated headers,underdrive pullies and I am having my 3.73's put in this week so I should be able to keep up with a few of ya I may even pick up a nitrous kit too,watch out Travis.

 

hey steve, wanna put some money down on this race?

you bought NEW ceramic headers?? i was gonna ask you if you wanted a brand new set of BBK ceramic headers for dirt cheap but i read you already had them

...at work we got a set for 100 bucks cuz its missing gaskets and bolts hahah

 

Damn,I just bought them today,bbk and all for 250.100 bucks for them huh?What part #Mine are bbk-15150.Maybe I'll return them.

 

ill have to check for ya tomorrow, i just remmeber them being for a mustang, i believe 86-95 or something. sound right?

 

yep,86-95 5.0.Thanks.

 

The difference is that you drove yours to the meet and ran it. While his came off the back of a trailer - and went back on when the day was over.

 

ahh thanks. someone recognizes.

 

i wont be able to make it guys sorry, my uncle passed away, got a funeral and other family matters to attend to.
